gpd-discover

Automate a literature survey for physics research planning by running a structured discovery workflow that surfaces methods, literature, and data needs, outputting a RESEARCH.md file to guide subsequent phase decisions.

Method discovery is the structured exploration phase that identifies applicable techniques, cross-checks references, and assesses feasibility to determine depth and outputs before committing to a complex physics research plan.

To generate a RESEARCH.md file for standalone topic investigation, execute the discovery workflow without phase-specific context, which outputs the structured landscape survey and guidance directly to the .gpd/analysis directory.

Yes, phase-specific discovery requires context from .gpd/STATE.md and .gpd/ROADMAP.md files to align the investigation with existing project phases, outputting the resulting RESEARCH.md to the specific phase directory.

Yes, you can control exploration depth during methods comparison to ensure the literature survey remains appropriately scoped for standalone topics or specific project phases, preventing unnecessary research overhead.

Run a discovery phase before planning complex physics experiments when you need to perform landscape surveys, select appropriate methods, and conduct feasibility checks to establish a clear basis for phase decisions.
