+# Architecture Spike: Connect {system_a} to {system_b}
+
+## Context
+
+We need to integrate **{system_a}** with **{system_b}** in the context of
+**{project_context}**. This spike answers: what is the best way to wire them
+together, and what are the trade-offs?
+
+## Constraints
+
+- Prefer approaches that avoid adding new infrastructure dependencies.
+- The integration should be **{sync_or_async}** (synchronous / asynchronous).
+- Must work within: {environment_constraints}.
+
+## Research Steps
+
+1. Identify the APIs / protocols exposed by both systems.
+2. List all known integration patterns (direct API, message queue, webhook, SDK, etc.).
+3. Evaluate each pattern for complexity, reliability, and latency.
+4. Select the recommended approach and outline a proof-of-concept.

+### Integration Options
+
+| Pattern | Complexity | Reliability | Latency | Notes |

+# Integration Guide: Wire {tool} into {stack}
+
+## Context

+2. Identify the minimal dependency set required.
+3. Map {tool}'s API to our existing patterns (singletons, graceful degradation).
+4. Write integration code with proper error handling.
+5. Define configuration variables and their defaults.
+
+## Output Format
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+- Dependencies to install (with versions)
+- External services or accounts required
+- Environment variables to configure
+
+### Configuration
+
+```python
+# In config.py — add these fields to Settings:
+{config_fields}
+```
+
+### Implementation
+
+```python
+# {file_path}

+
+### Testing

+# tests/unit/test_{tool_snake}.py
+{test_code}
+```
+
+### Verification Checklist
+
+- [ ] Dependency added to pyproject.toml
+- [ ] Config fields added with sensible defaults
+- [ ] Graceful degradation tested (service down)
+- [ ] Unit tests pass (`tox -e unit`)
+- [ ] No new linting errors (`tox -e lint`)

+
+1. Identify all actively-maintained tools in the **{domain}** space.
+2. For each tool, gather: name, URL, license/pricing, last release date, language/platform.
+3. Evaluate each tool against the focus criteria.
