What problem does it solve?
This Skill helps teams de-risk technical unknowns, design gaps, and interdependencies in shaped concepts by running timeboxed experiments (spikes) to gather concrete proof before committing to full development.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Identify Rabbit Holes: Systematically find potential risks and unknowns in a concept.
- Mitigate Risks: Choose between patching, declaring out-of-bounds, cutting scope, or spiking.
- Execute Spikes: Run small, focused experiments to answer specific questions.
- Document Proof: Capture findings and update the concept with concrete evidence.
- Use Case: Before starting a complex feature, a team uses this skill to run a spike to confirm a new API integration is feasible within the allocated time, preventing schedule blow-ups.
Quick Start
Use the spike-investigation skill to run a spike to determine if a new API integration is feasible within the allocated time.
