SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill streamlines the creation of rigorous technical research documents by guiding a structured, verifiable workflow for evaluating technologies, architectures, and implementation approaches so teams can make informed technical decisions faster.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Structured Research Workflow: A six-step, stepwise process (scope confirmation, technology stack, integration patterns, architectural patterns, implementation research, synthesis) that produces a single coherent Markdown research artifact.
  • Web-backed Verification: Explicit requirement for live web search and multi-source verification to ensure claims are current and cited.
  • Document Automation & Tracking: Creates templated research files, updates frontmatter (stepsCompleted, metadata), and appends findings to an output research document for reproducible reports.
  • Use Cases: Technology selection (e.g., REST vs GraphQL), architecture trade-off analysis, migration planning, implementation roadmaps, and executive technical summaries.

Quick Start

Start a technical research on "GraphQL vs REST for large-scale microservices" to compare architectures, performance, and migration strategies.

Frequently Asked Questions about bmad-technical-research

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I research and compare technology stacks for system architecture decisions?▼

To research technology stacks for system architecture, this Skill applies a six-step workflow covering scope confirmation, stack evaluation, integration patterns, and architectural patterns to produce a fully cited Markdown research report. It requires live web search for multi-source verification.

What is the best way to plan a migration strategy for large-scale microservices?▼

Planning a migration strategy for large-scale microservices requires synthesizing architecture trade-offs and implementation roadmaps. This Skill generates an authoritative research document by verifying live web sources and compiling findings into a structured Markdown artifact.

How does multi-source verification work in technical research reports?▼

Multi-source verification in technical research reports works by requiring live web searches to cross-reference claims during the stepwise document generation process. This ensures all technology evaluation and architecture comparison findings are current and properly cited.

Can I use this for implementation planning and integration pattern analysis?▼

Yes, you can use this for implementation planning and integration pattern analysis as the workflow explicitly covers integration patterns, implementation research, and synthesis. It outputs a structured Markdown research artifact with updated frontmatter tracking completed steps.

Do I need live web search to generate architecture comparison documents?▼

Yes, live web search is an explicit requirement to generate architecture comparison documents, ensuring that technology evaluation claims are current and multi-source verified before being appended to the final research artifact.
