How does this skill handle API research?

It provides structured checklists for API documentation, including authentication methods, rate limits, endpoint mapping, and error handling strategies to ensure no critical integration detail is missed.

Can I use this for technology comparisons?

Yes, the skill includes specialized templates and weighted comparison matrices to evaluate different libraries or frameworks based on performance, security, community support, and compatibility.

How does it ensure research quality?

It implements a source prioritization workflow that ranks official documentation and maintainer content above third-party tutorials, and includes a verification checklist for information currency and accuracy.

What is the PACT Prepare phase?

The PACT Prepare phase is the initial research stage of the PACT methodology, focusing on systematic documentation gathering and technology evaluation before any architecture or implementation begins.
