SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

The Technical Spike helps teams quickly assess the feasibility of a feature request by systematically evaluating code-readiness, external tooling, and architectural risks before committing to build.

Core Features & Use Cases

Independent three-agent analysis covering Codebase Feasibility Audit, External Research & Prior Art, and Architecture Options & Risk Analysis.
Structured artifact generation including per-agent reports and a unified spike synthesis with a green/yellow/red verdict and an execution plan.
Prevents costly misalignment by surfacing risks, effort estimates, and viable implementation paths early.

Quick Start

Kick off the spike by documenting the feature slug under .claude/spikes/<feature-slug>.md and initiating the three-agent research process.

Frequently Asked Questions about Technical Spike

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema

How do I assess feature feasibility before committing to development?▼

Feature feasibility is assessed by running a structured technical spike that evaluates codebase readiness, external tooling, and architecture risks. This process yields a green, yellow, or red verdict with a recommended architecture and execution plan to prevent costly misalignment early.

What is a technical spike in software architecture planning?▼

A technical spike is a structured research process used to identify the feasibility of a feature idea. It involves independent analysis of codebase readiness, external prior art, and architecture risks, summarized in a unified spike note with execution plans.

How do I start a technical spike for feature planning?▼

To start a technical spike, document your feature slug under the .claude/spikes/<feature-slug>.md directory. Initiating this process kicks off a three-agent research workflow that delivers independent feasibility, research, and risk perspectives.

What's the best way to identify architecture risks for a new feature?▼

The best way to identify architecture risks is using a dedicated risk analysis agent within a technical spike. It evaluates architectural options independently and contributes to a unified synthesis, surfacing viable implementation paths and effort estimates early.

Does a technical spike provide an execution plan for feature development?▼

Yes, a technical spike provides an execution plan. The orchestration of independent agents yields a spike synthesis that includes a green, yellow, or red feasibility verdict, a recommended architecture, and an actionable execution plan.
