SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Initialize a new physics research project with unified flow for questioning, scoping, literature survey, and artifact creation, streamlining setup and governance.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Scaffolds a complete GPD project: creates PROJECT.md, .gpd/config.json, ROADMAP.md, REQUIREMENTS.md, STATE.md, and state.json
  • Supports a minimal initialization path for fast bootstrap and a guided full-flow for thorough scoping and planning
  • Optional modules enable literature surveys and planned phases to drive reproducible research artifacts

Quick Start

Run the gpd-new-project command to bootstrap a minimal, ready-to-run physics research workspace with the .gpd folder and initial artifacts.

FAQPage Schema
How do I initialize a physics research project with a roadmap and scoping contract?

To initialize a physics research project, run the bootstrap command to generate standard artifacts like PROJECT.md, ROADMAP.md, and STATE.md, alongside a canonical scoping contract validated before downstream steps.

What is a scoping contract in research project initialization?

A scoping contract is a validated configuration artifact persisted as .gpd/state.json that unifies questioning, literature survey scope, and phase planning to govern reproducible research setup.

Can I use a minimal initialization path for fast project bootstrap?

Yes, minimal initialization is the default path, allowing you to quickly bootstrap a ready-to-run physics research workspace with the .gpd folder and initial artifacts without executing the full pipeline.

How do I generate standard research artifacts like ROADMAP.md and REQUIREMENTS.md?

Generate these standard artifacts by running the full initialization pipeline, which orchestrates optional literature surveys and phase planning to drive the creation of ROADMAP.md and REQUIREMENTS.md.

Does the initialization workflow support phase planning and literature surveys?

Yes, the workflow supports optional modules for literature surveys and planned phases, enabling thorough scoping and reproducible research artifact generation during the project setup process.

What is the best way to bootstrap a reproducible physics research workspace?

The best way is to use a unified initialization flow that scaffolds a complete GPD project, creating standard artifacts and validating a canonical scoping contract to streamline setup and governance.
