What's inside
- Skill name
spike- Description
- Deep-dive investigation of a feature, bug, or technical problem. Accepts tracker tickets, wiki pages, or a plain description — delegates to /grill for clarification until the problem is fully understood, then creates a ticket in the project's tracker capturing the spike. Use when the user says "spike it", "spike this", "investigate this", "flesh this out", "hydrate ticket", "improve ticket", "research this", "feasibility study", or wants to fully understand a problem before committing to implementation.
