To convert scaffolded context files into a research roadmap, run a project initialization intake that transforms TODO files into a structured project profile, scope, and methodology. This generates a formal roadmap and dispatch criteria for research waves.

Project intake and governance is the process of defining scope, audience, and methodology to establish traceable context. It enforces required fields and gating criteria to ensure a workspace is ready before dispatching research tasks.

You enforce dispatch gates by validating the initialized project profile against required fields and gating criteria. This ensures the workspace has a formal roadmap and traceable context, enabling risk-free execution before any research waves begin.

You need a formal research roadmap during project initialization immediately after creating a scaffolded workspace. It provides the explicit profile, output plan, and dispatch criteria required to align and start research waves safely.

Yes, this kickoff process requires existing scaffolded context files as input. It transforms the TODOs within those files into a structured profile, scope, and audience to produce the formal roadmap needed for research execution.

The best way to plan research waves with traceable context is to run a project initialization skill that generates dispatch criteria and a formal roadmap. This enforces governance and ensures alignment before tasks start.
