pact-prepare-research
Research methodologies and documentation gathering workflows for PACT Prepare phase. Use when: conducting technology research, evaluating API documentation, comparing framework options, analyzing library choices, gathering requirements, or creating technology comparison matrices. Triggers on: research, requirements gathering, API exploration, documentation review, technology evaluation, library comparison, prepare phase.

Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# PACT Prepare Research Methodology Structured approaches for the Prepare phase of PACT. This skill provides frameworks for systematic research, documentation gathering, and technology evaluation to build a solid foundation before architecture and implementation. ## Research Workflow ### Phase 1: Define Research Scope Before starting research, clearly define: ```markdown ## Research Scope Definition ### Primary Question What specific problem are we trying to solve? ### Success Criteria What would make a solution acceptable? - [ ] Performance requirements - [ ] Integration requirements - [ ] Security requirements - [ ] Budget constraints ### Constraints What limitations must we work within? - Technology stack restrictions - Team expertise - Timeline - Licensing requirements ``` ### Phase 2: Source Prioritization Prioritize sources by authority and reliability: | Priority | Source Type | Examples | Trust Level | |----------|-------------|----------|-------------| | 1 | Official documentation | Docs, API references | Highest | | 2 | Official repositories | GitHub READMEs, wikis | Very High | | 3 | Maintainer content | Blog posts by core team | High | | 4 | Community verified | Stack O

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add majiayu000/claude-skill-registry --skill pact-prepare-research-profsynapse-pact-prompt-2 --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From majiayu000/claude-skill-registry, a repository with 534 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
