SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Enables AI teams to perform focused exploratory investigations without producing production code, accelerating feasibility assessment, architecture exploration, and risk identification.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Define research scope and questions to guide investigations.
  • Propose lightweight, non-production research plans with clear success criteria.
  • Conduct guided investigations (technology evaluation, feasibility studies, architecture exploration, performance probes) and surface actionable findings.
  • Produce findings as in-conversation summaries or formal memos for decision-making.

Quick Start

Outline a concise research plan and begin the investigation with a defined scope.

Frequently Asked Questions about TRIP-research

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I scope exploratory research for AI feasibility studies?

To scope exploratory research for AI feasibility studies, you define specific research questions and establish clear success criteria upfront. This structured workflow guides technology evaluation and risk identification without producing production code.

What is the best way to structure an architecture exploration workflow?

The best way to structure an architecture exploration workflow is by enforcing planned steps and decision points. This process generates formal memos or in-conversation summaries to accelerate architecture evaluation and surface actionable findings.

Can I conduct technology evaluation without writing production code?

Yes, you can conduct technology evaluation without writing production code by using a lightweight research plan. This approach focuses on performance probes and feasibility assessment to deliver actionable findings for decision-making.

How do I define success criteria for an AI spike investigation?

You define success criteria for an AI spike investigation by outlining a concise research plan with a defined scope. This ensures focused exploratory investigations and produces formal output formats for effective decision-making.

What output formats can I expect from guided technical investigations?

From guided technical investigations, you can expect output formats like in-conversation summaries or formal memos. These outputs are designed to surface actionable findings and support decision-making for AI projects.

When should I not use exploratory research mode for spikes?

You should not use exploratory research mode for spikes when your goal is to produce production code or deploy final architecture. This mode is strictly for lightweight feasibility studies, technology evaluation, and risk identification.
