SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps teams systematically research unknown technologies, libraries, frameworks, and dependencies by gathering credible, multi-source documentation and resources to inform implementation decisions.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Structured Research Workflow: Establish a scratchpad-based process to collect, verify, and synthesize information from multiple sources.
  • Resource Sourcing & Citation: Compile authoritative references with sources and dates to support design and implementation tasks.
  • Risk & Trade-off Analysis: Identify maintenance, security, and ecosystem considerations for chosen technologies.

Quick Start

Provide a Task File path and Task Title to begin research, and the agent will generate a scratchpad, gather sources from multiple perspectives, and present a structured synthesis with citations.

FAQPage Schema
How do I research an unknown technology before implementation?

To research an unknown technology, you compile credible information and documentation from multiple sources to inform implementation decisions. This involves gathering authoritative references, verifying data across perspectives, and producing a structured synthesis with citations and risk analysis.

What is the best way to evaluate a library for vendor and tool selection?

Evaluating a library for vendor selection requires a structured research workflow that gathers multi-source documentation and performs risk and trade-off analysis. This process identifies maintenance, security, and ecosystem considerations to support architecture planning and technology selection.

How do I compile technical documentation with citations for architecture planning?

Compiling technical documentation with citations requires a scratchpad-based research process to collect and verify sources. The agent synthesizes information from multiple perspectives, presenting structured outputs with dates, references, and risk analysis to support architecture planning.

Does technology evaluation require multi-source verification for dependencies?

Technology evaluation requires multi-source verification when researching unknown dependencies to ensure credible implementation decisions. Verifying information across multiple perspectives identifies potential risks and trade-offs, providing a reliable foundation for selecting frameworks and libraries.

What are the limitations of relying on a single source for framework research?

Relying on a single source for framework research limits your ability to identify maintenance, security, and ecosystem trade-offs. Multi-source verification and scratchpad-first reasoning are required to compile credible documentation and mitigate risks during technology evaluation.

Can I use a scratchpad to gather resources for technology evaluation?

Yes, you can use a scratchpad to establish a structured research workflow for technology evaluation. The scratchpad collects, verifies, and synthesizes information from multiple sources, generating a structured output with citations, dates, and risk analysis to support implementation tasks.
