Research Guidelines

Creating New Research

1. Use the generate_research_questions MCP tool to create research questions
2. Create a new perform_research_*.md file using the research documentation utilities
3. Update this index file to include the new research
4. Begin research execution following the documented methodology

Research Process

1. Planning: Define questions, methodology, and timeline
2. Execution: Collect data and conduct analysis
3. Documentation: Record findings with evidence and confidence levels
4. Review: Peer review and validation of findings
5. Communication: Share findings with stakeholders
6. Implementation: Apply recommendations and track outcomes

Quality Standards

• All findings must include confidence levels and supporting evidence
• Research methodology must be clearly documented
• Regular progress updates are required
• Peer review is mandatory for critical findings
• All research must link to relevant ADRs and architectural decisions

Documentation Standards

• Use the provided research document template
• Include clear research questions and methodology
• Document all findings with dates and confidence levels
• Provide actionable recommendations with implementation guidance
• Link to relevant ADRs and external references

Research Tools

MCP Tools Available

• generate_research_questions: Generate context-aware research questions
• analyze_environment: Analyze environment context for research
• generate_rules: Generate architectural rules from research findings

Research Methodologies

• Literature review and analysis
• Experimental validation and testing
• Prototype development and evaluation
• Stakeholder interviews and surveys
• Architectural analysis and modeling

Knowledge Management

Research Findings Integration

• Update relevant ADRs with research findings
• Create new ADRs based on research recommendations
• Update architectural documentation with new insights
• Share findings through team knowledge sharing sessions

Research Archive

• Completed research is archived but remains accessible
• Research findings are integrated into project knowledge base
• Lessons learned are documented for future research
• Research methodologies are refined based on experience
