Unstructured, ad-hoc research before building a feature or product often leads to missed tradeoffs, unexamined expert perspectives, and uninformed decisions that waste time and resources.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Decision-Focused Template: Forces you to articulate the specific decision the research will inform, avoiding vague, unfocused investigation.
- Structured Output: Includes built-in sections for solution comparison tables, cited expert disagreements, steelman arguments against the proposed approach, and gaps between known and unknown information.
- Use Case: If your team is debating whether to migrate your API from REST to GraphQL, this skill generates a standardized template to capture all relevant context, tradeoffs, and expert input to support a data-driven choice.
