Spike
Throwaway experiments to validate an idea before building. Quick prototypes to test feasibility, performance, or approach.
skill_view("spike")
📖 Guide
Load with skill_view("spike"). For validating uncertain approaches. Create minimal prototypes, test hypotheses, and produce findings — not production code.
🔧 How To
Define the question you're trying to answer → build the minimal prototype to validate → collect results → decide go/no-go. Spikes are throwaway by design.
⚠️ Pitfalls
Spikes are not production code — don't try to reuse them. Time-box the spike (recommend 1-2 hours max). Document findings before discarding the code.
