Individual skill
architecture-research
Evidence-driven architecture research for understanding real systems and making technical decisions. Use when doing architecture landscape studies, source-backed system archaeology, build-vs-buy or adopt/adapt/build decisions, open-source and commercial comparisons, revisiting an earlier architecture choice, or handling requests such as 架构调研, 架构选型, 竞品架构, 技术尽调, 同类方案, 开源替代, how is X built, and what should we learn from X. Do not use for small mechanical changes, market-only discovery, or detailed design after the technology direction is already fixed.

# Architecture Research
Understand how real systems work before committing to a technical direction.
Produce a decision artifact backed by inspectable evidence, not a feature table,
vendor narrative, or speculative target architecture.
Read both references before completing decision-grade work:
- [Architecture lenses](references/architecture-lenses.md) explains how to
inspect ownership, authority, wiring, lifecycle, recovery, trade-offs, and
adoption risk.
- [Evidence matrix and decision template](references/evidence-matrix.md)
provides the output structure.
