spike skillA

spike is agent-read markdown (skill) from ulises-jeremias/agent-toolkit: WHAT - Produce spike and research findings using the spike template; captures purpose, findings,.

Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions.

The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.

What the file says

# Spike and Research Findings (WHAT)

Use for technical exploration, feasibility validation, architecture assessment, or research outputs that should influence design or implementation.

## Default guardrails

1. Apply **`output-handshake`** before final output.
2. Make findings actionable: recommendation, tradeoffs, open questions, and next steps.
3. Link from **`trd`** when the spike informs technical design.
4. Link from **`adr`** when the spike leads to a durable decision.

## References

- `references/default-template.md`
- `references/example-graphql-federation.md` — example spike for evaluating GraphQL Federation with tradeoffs and phased approach
- `trd`
- `adr`
