SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill ensures engineering teams perform focused, evidence-backed technical research and solution reviews before implementation, preventing costly rework and design drift by surfacing open-source references, academic findings, and industry best practices aligned to the project's constraints.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Structured research pipeline: clarifies the problem, searches 3–5 source dimensions (open-source, industry, academic, blogs, domain-specific), and synthesizes findings into a comparative analysis.
  • Actionable recommendations: produces a prioritized recommendation with implementation complexity, risks, and SPEC update steps tailored to ecom-agent scenarios like sizing recommendation, memory architecture, or observability.
  • Decision guardrail: lists clarification questions to resolve key uncertainties and mandates SPEC synchronization before coding begins (integration step described for project workflow).
  • Use case: run this Skill before adding a new recommendation algorithm or introducing a third-party vector DB to get validated options, trade-offs, and precise SPEC edits.

Quick Start

Ask the tech-researcher to research "memory architecture for long-running conversational agents" and produce a 2-3 option comparison with a recommended approach, complexity estimate, and 3 clarification questions.

FAQPage Schema
How do I conduct evidence-based technical research for architecture decisions before implementation?

Evidence-based technical research for architecture decisions involves sourcing 3-5 references across open-source projects, industry posts, and academic papers, then synthesizing them into a comparative evaluation report to prevent design drift and rework.

What is the best way to compare technology selection options for e-commerce agent modules?

The best way to compare technology selection options for e-commerce agent modules is to evaluate 2-3 viable solutions against project constraints, producing prioritized recommendations with implementation complexity, risks, and SPEC update instructions.

Can I use this structured research pipeline for pre-implementation design reviews of memory architecture?

Yes, you can use this structured research pipeline for pre-implementation design reviews of memory architecture. It clarifies the problem, searches open-source and academic sources, and produces actionable recommendations tailored to long-running conversational agents.

How do I generate SPEC update instructions and clarification questions for a new recommendation algorithm?

To generate SPEC update instructions and clarification questions for a new recommendation algorithm, run a technical research review that mandates SPEC synchronization before coding and lists key uncertainties to resolve.

Why do I need to source open-source references and academic papers when introducing a third-party vector DB?

You need to source open-source references and academic papers when introducing a third-party vector DB to ensure validated options, surface trade-offs, and align industry best practices with your project's specific engineering constraints.
