SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

It helps you systematically research Claude Code best practices, compare them against your existing workspace setup, and produce a prioritized, implementation-ready gap analysis instead of relying on ad-hoc changes.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Meta research with scoped summaries: Fan-out research across multiple sources using Haiku, returning structured summaries limited in length to reduce noise.
  • Workspace inventory and gap matrix: Enumerates existing skills, agents, hooks, and rules, then maps each gap to its best matching source and value priority (High/Medium/Low).
  • Guardrailed implementation workflow: Uses an Opus advisor checkpoint to decide what to implement, then executes only the approved changes and asks for review before submission.
  • Use cases: Quarterly audits, responding to major Claude Code updates, evaluating newly found community repos, and validating whether new guidance should be adopted in this workspace.

Quick Start

Start the process by asking: "Run research-best-practices and generate a prioritized gap matrix against my current .claude workspace, using the default sources, then propose what should be implemented after advisor confirmation."

FAQPage Schema
How do I audit my Claude Code workspace against new best practices?

Auditing your Claude Code workspace involves fanning out research across multiple sources for scoped summaries, inventorying existing skills and hooks, and producing a prioritized gap matrix mapped to validated sources.

What is a gap analysis for implementation planning in a multi-agent setup?

A gap analysis for implementation planning compares new community guidance against your current workspace configuration, mapping each identified gap to a source and assigning a High, Medium, or Low value priority for adoption.

How do I safely implement new rules and agents found in community research?

You safely implement new rules by passing scoped research summaries through an advisor-approval gate, executing only the approved workspace configuration changes, and requesting a final review before submitting to git.

Can I use this to evaluate if a newly found community repo should be adopted?

Yes, you can evaluate newly found community repos by running a bounded multi-source summary to validate the new guidance, then mapping it against your existing workspace inventory to decide what to adopt.

What is the best way to plan for major Claude Code updates without ad-hoc changes?

The best way to plan for major Claude Code updates is using a guardrailed workflow that generates a workspace-specific gap matrix and requires an advisor checkpoint before making any changes, avoiding ad-hoc fixes.

Does the research process require an existing workspace inventory to function?

Yes, the research process requires an explicit inventory of your existing skills, agents, hooks, and rules to map identified gaps accurately against your current setup and prioritize implementation.
