Provides a structured workflow to analyze technical approaches for a feature, compare libraries and architectures, and document rationale to support timely implementation planning.
Run research on the current feature by invoking /shep-kit:research after the feature spec is prepared.
High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.
To document technical decisions, the research workflow identifies library options and architecture patterns, records rationale, and generates a Markdown file alongside structured YAML. This ensures your feature development captures trade-offs and supports implementation planning.
Resolving open questions requires a gate-driven research workflow that reads your spec file, checks for unresolved items, and blocks implementation until all queries are answered. This ensures technical choices are fully evaluated before development proceeds.
Generating research documentation involves reading the spec for open questions, evaluating library and architecture options, and automatically writing a research YAML file with a Markdown document. This captures trade-offs and rationale for developer planning.
Yes, comparing multiple architecture patterns and integration approaches is the core function of this technical research workflow. It evaluates technology choices against your feature requirements and documents the specific trade-offs and rationale for each architectural option.
Yes, a prepared feature spec is required to analyze technical approaches. The research workflow reads the spec file to identify open questions, making it a prerequisite for generating decision rationale and evaluating trade-offs.
