Automating research workflows for technology decisions involves orchestrating structured exploration paths like landscape analysis, tech selection, and competitive intelligence. This Skill clarifies research questions and produces artifact-rich findings to guide your architecture choices.

Structuring tech selection research requires automated research planning that evaluates options and generates artifacts. This workflow produces structured findings in a .planning directory, ensuring your technology decisions are documented before routing to feature development.

Research handoff to feature or devops workflows works by routing artifact-rich findings to brainstorming sessions, which then feed directly into downstream implementation streams. This end-to-end flow ensures technology decisions transition smoothly into actionable development tasks.

Yes, MultAI tooling is required to run these architecture research workflows. The orchestration depends on MultAI integration to manage pre-flight preferences, composition proposals, and the autonomous auto-confirm mode for streamlined technology decision processes.

Yes, you can skip research steps in autonomous mode for competitive intelligence using the provided step-skip protocol. This allows faster routing through the workflow while still maintaining guardrails and producing the necessary handoff artifacts.

You should avoid automated research orchestration for tech decisions when your exploration lacks a precise research question or when MultAI tooling and .planning artifact directories are unavailable in your current environment setup.
