This Skill helps you rapidly test and discard throwaway experiments to validate ideas before building, saving time and resources on unfeasible projects.
Create a spike to test if a new feature is possible.
High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.
A spike is a throwaway experiment used to validate the feasibility of a software idea. You should use a spike when you need rapid prototyping and quick decision-making on project viability before committing resources.
Run a feasibility experiment by following a structured loop of decomposition, research, building, and verdict. This process helps you test if a new feature is possible and captures what worked, what didn't, and recommendations for next steps.
Yes, you can handle multiple feasibility questions simultaneously during prototyping. This allows you to adjust the order or framing of your experiments as needed to refine your throwaway tests.
The best way to document throwaway prototype results is through verdict documentation. This captures what worked, what didn't work, and provides clear recommendations for the next steps in your software development process.
You should not use a spike when your goal is building production-ready features rather than testing feasibility. Spikes are designed as throwaway experiments to be discarded once their purpose of validating viability is served.
