Technical Research
Use before implementation when an unfamiliar technology, API, current product behavior, or technical trade-off could change the solution.
Workflow
- Turn the implementation question into specific facts or decisions that need evidence.
- Prefer current primary sources: official product documentation, standards, release notes, or the original research. Check version and date when behavior may have changed.
- Compare only viable options against the user's constraints, compatibility needs, security properties, and maintenance cost.
- Separate source-backed facts from interpretation. Record assumptions and any material evidence that is missing or conflicting.
- Recommend an option only when evidence supports it. Explain the deciding trade-off briefly.
Return concise findings with direct sources and an implementation-relevant conclusion. Do not implement the change.
