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.
