Explore Tech

Evaluate technical solutions, libraries, and architecture patterns.

When to Use

• •Evaluating library or framework options
• •Exploring architectural approaches
• •Analyzing performance tradeoffs
• •Comparing implementation strategies

Approach

Phase 1: Problem Definition

Ask 3-5 probing questions to clarify:

• •What problem are we solving?
• •What are the constraints (performance, bundle size, learning curve)?
• •What existing patterns must we integrate with?

Phase 2: Options Analysis

Generate 3-4 distinct options that differ meaningfully in approach.

For each option, evaluate:

• •Pros: Benefits, alignment with existing patterns
• •Cons: Complexity, maintenance burden, learning curve
• •Effort: Low / Medium / High

Phase 3: Recommendation

Synthesize findings into a clear recommendation with rationale.

Constraints

• •No code generation — exploration only
• •No new dependencies not in package.json without explicit approval
• •End with: "Which direction feels most aligned with our goals?"
