research-task

What problem does it solve?

This Skill streamlines the initial phase of software development tasks by thoroughly researching the codebase, identifying potential overlaps with existing work, and documenting findings to inform planning and implementation.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Codebase Exploration: Analyzes architecture, patterns, dependencies, and test coverage relevant to a new task.
• Overlap Detection: Scans existing task research to prevent redundant work.
• Decision Prototyping: Creates runnable prototypes for complex, experiential tradeoffs.
• Use Case: Before starting to implement a new feature, use this Skill to understand how similar features are built, what libraries are used, and if any existing code can be leveraged or needs modification.
