SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Spike helps teams quickly assess the feasibility of ideas by building minimal, runnable prototypes to avoid heavy investments in unproven approaches.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Create small runnable artifacts to test feasibility.
  • Compare approaches with a focused, deterministic prototype.
  • Produce a verdict (VALIDATED, PARTIAL, INVALIDATED) to guide next steps.

Quick Start

State a concrete feasibility question and build the smallest runnable prototype to answer it.

Frequently Asked Questions about spike

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

FAQPage Schema
What is a spike prototype for feasibility validation?▼

To validate feasibility with a minimal prototype, state a concrete feasibility question and construct the smallest runnable artifact to answer it. Ensure the prototype is deterministic and reproducible to yield a clear verdict.

Can I use rapid prototyping to compare multiple approaches in early-stage assessments?▼

Rapid prototyping compares multiple approaches by building minimal, deterministic artifacts to test each option. This method yields reproducible results, enabling clear A/B comparisons and risk assessments for early-stage feasibility questions.

How do I ensure a feasibility test yields a clear verdict?▼

To yield a clear verdict, ensure the feasibility test artifact is minimal, deterministic, and reproducible. This focused construction directly validates viability and outputs a definitive VALIDATED, PARTIAL, or INVALIDATED outcome.

When do I need to build a minimal runnable artifact for risk assessment?▼

Build a minimal runnable artifact for risk assessment when facing early-stage feasibility questions or A/B comparisons. This rapid testing approach validates viability with deterministic prototypes, avoiding heavy investment in unproven approaches.

What are the limitations of using spikes for feasibility evaluation?▼

Spikes are limited to answering specific feasibility questions through minimal artifacts; they do not replace full implementation. The prototype must remain deterministic and reproducible to ensure the resulting verdict accurately reflects viability without scope creep.
