• Engineering Lead
• Solution Architect description: Assess technical patterns, integrations, and constraints in the domain to inform feasibility and strategy. variables: required:
  • name: domain description: Product or problem domain to investigate.
  • name: constraints description: Compliance, performance, or architectural constraints that must be respected. optional:
  • name: existing_stack description: Summary of current systems or technologies in place.

Purpose

Help engineering leadership quickly synthesize domain research into actionable technical exploration tasks during discovery.

Pre-run Checklist

• ✅ Align with security, platform, and data stakeholders on non-negotiable constraints.
• ✅ Gather existing architecture diagrams and system inventories.
• ✅ Clarify the decision timeline for selecting technologies.

Claude Workflow Outline

1. Outline the domain context and key constraints.
2. Summarize prevailing architecture patterns, tooling, and best practices.
3. Evaluate integration options, highlighting trade-offs and implementation complexity.
4. Flag high-risk areas requiring spikes or proof-of-concepts.
5. Produce a recommended investigation backlog with owners and timelines.
