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:

  1. Question — one specific, falsifiable thing you don't know (e.g., "Can library X parse format Y and return structure Z?")
  2. Approach — what you'll try
  3. Time box — default: one focused session

If the question is vague, sharpen it before proceeding.
