Spike Solution (XP)
Run a throwaway experiment to answer one specific, falsifiable technical question. Spikes produce knowledge, not code.
A spike is NOT a prototype (prototypes try to be kept). Spike code is explicitly discarded.
Input
The question and approach: $ARGUMENTS
Before starting, confirm:
- Question — one specific, falsifiable thing you don't know (e.g., "Can library X parse format Y and return structure Z?")
- Approach — what you'll try
- Time box — default: one focused session
If the question is vague, sharpen it before proceeding.
