Use this skill when the user needs help figuring out the right approach to a technical change and the solution path is still unclear. Trigger when the main task is to surface constraints, compare plausible directions, understand trade-offs, or recommend a path forward before detailed execution planning begins. This applies both to new builds and to modifying an existing system when the user knows the goal but not yet the best design or implementation strategy. The expected output is a small set of viable options, a recommendation, and clear reasoning. Prefer this skill before planning whenever approach selection is the primary source of uncertainty. When in doubt, use this skill.

Research real-world implementations, synthesize trade-offs, and route to implementation or planning.
