About study
A study skill for decisions shaped by important unknowns. It inspects primary evidence, compares plausible alternatives, and uses small probes to clarify what matters.
Key features
- 01Identify decision-changing unknowns
- 02Inspect primary sources and behavior
- 03Compare alternatives and failure modes
- 04Run a small probe or change
- 05Stop when decisive facts are supported
Use cases
- 01Investigating uncertain requirements
- 02Comparing options before a consequential decision
- 03Testing an assumption with a focused probe

From the project READMEStudy
Use this skill when the next move depends on an important unknown. Inspect the real artifact and its behavior, then gather only the evidence that can change the decision. Keep study brief for familiar, reversible work.
- State the requested result and the unknown that could change it.
- Inspect the closest primary source: code, data, contract, behavior, or user evidence.
- Compare the strongest plausible alternatives and failure modes.
- Make the smallest useful probe or change, then use its result as new evidence.
Read the detailed guide when the work is contested, high consequence, or broad enough to need an evidence map. Stop when the decisive facts are supported and remaining uncertainty is explicit.
