SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Gather phase context through adaptive questioning before planning to prevent repeating decisions, surface uncertainties, and align stakeholders early.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Load prior context (PROJECT.md, REQUIREMENTS.md, STATE.md, and prior CONTEXT.md) to anchor discussions.
  • Identify gray areas and surface decisions for downstream researchers and planners.
  • Deep-dive selected areas and generate a structured CONTEXT.md to guide execution.
  • Propose next steps and capture deferred ideas for later phases.

Quick Start

Provide the phase number and trigger an adaptive discussion to produce CONTEXT.md.

FAQPage Schema
What is phase context gathering and why is it needed before planning?

Gather phase context through adaptive questioning before planning to prevent repeating decisions and surface gray areas. It anchors discussions by loading prior context, generating a structured CONTEXT.md to guide downstream researchers and planners.

How do I generate a CONTEXT.md file for my project planning workflow?

Generate CONTEXT.md by triggering an adaptive discussion with your phase number. The process loads prior context, identifies gray areas, deep-dives into selected uncertainties, and writes a structured CONTEXT.md file to guide downstream execution agents.

Does phase context gathering work with existing PROJECT.md and REQUIREMENTS.md files?

Yes, phase context gathering loads prior context including PROJECT.md, REQUIREMENTS.md, STATE.md, and prior CONTEXT.md files. It uses these existing documents to anchor discussions, enforce phase boundary validation, and identify gray areas for deep-diving.

What's the best way to identify gray areas and surface decisions before planning?

Identify gray areas by applying adaptive questioning that loads prior context and enforces phase boundary validation. This surfaces deferred decisions and uncertainties, capturing them in a structured CONTEXT.md to guide downstream researchers and planners.

How to capture deferred ideas and next steps after deep-diving into phase context?

After deep-diving into selected gray areas, propose next steps and capture deferred ideas for later phases within the generated CONTEXT.md. This ensures downstream agents receive structured guidance while documenting deferred items for future execution.

When should I not use adaptive context gathering for planning workflows?

Avoid adaptive context gathering when no prior decisions or context files exist, as it requires PROJECT.md, REQUIREMENTS.md, or STATE.md to anchor discussions. It suits planning workflows where prior decisions exist and gray areas remain unresolved.
