SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Deep technical research and structured briefing for /ship, ensuring API/stack considerations, architecture decisions, and dependencies are identified before committing to stories.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Structured briefing: generates a comprehensive technical briefing with concrete APIs, packages, and data models.
  • Stack-aware planning: detects existing project markers to constrain recommendations to the current tech stack.
  • Iterative refinement: supports refine mode, Q&A, and web research to produce an actionable plan.

Quick Start

Invoke the presearch skill with a topic to generate a structured technical briefing.

Frequently Asked Questions about presearch

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate a technical brief with API shapes and data models before starting development?▼

To generate a technical brief, invoke presearch with a topic to produce a structured briefing containing concrete API shapes, exact package versions, data models, dependency lists, and environment variables for Gemini synthesis.

What is stack-aware architecture planning and how does it constrain dependency recommendations?▼

Stack-aware architecture planning detects existing project markers like package.json and CLAUDE.md to constrain technical recommendations to the current tech stack, ensuring generated briefings match your repository's established dependencies.

Can I refine a technical research briefing to get deeper or quicker architecture results?▼

You can refine technical research briefings using optional modes such as --deep for comprehensive analysis, --quick for faster results, and --no-ship, alongside iterative Q&A and web research to produce an actionable plan.

What's the best way to define SDKs and architecture patterns for a new project structure?▼

The best way to define SDKs and architecture patterns is generating a structured technical briefing that includes a greenfield or project structure outline, exact package names, and dependency lists tailored for Gemini synthesis.

Does presearch work with existing repositories that have package.json and CLAUDE.md files?▼

Yes, presearch works with existing repositories by scanning for markers like package.json and CLAUDE.md to seed constraints, automatically tailoring API, SDK, and dependency recommendations to your current project stack.

When should I not use automated technical research for architecture decisions?▼

You should avoid automated technical research when your project lacks defined markers like package.json or CLAUDE.md for stack constraints, or when you need immediate code generation rather than a comprehensive pre-ship structured briefing.
