SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Gather phase context through adaptive questioning before planning. Use --auto to skip interactive questions (Claude picks recommended defaults). Use --chain for interactive discuss followed by automatic plan+execute. Use --power for bulk question generation into a file-based UI (answer at your own pace).

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Adaptive, context-building questions that surface decision points before planning.
  • Supports auto, chain, and power modes for flexible interaction flows.
  • Generates a concrete CONTEXT.md that captures decisions to guide researchers and planners.

Quick Start

Start a discuss phase to extract decisions and produce a CONTEXT.md guiding the research and planning steps.

FAQPage Schema
How do I gather phase context for AI workflow planning before starting research?

Gather phase context for AI workflow planning by using adaptive questions to surface decision points and gray areas, then generating a CONTEXT.md file that documents all extracted decisions to guide downstream research and planning.

What's the best way to document research decisions for downstream agents automatically?

Document research decisions for downstream agents by loading prior context, prompting for unresolved gray areas, and recording all finalized decisions directly into a CONTEXT.md file that guides subsequent planning and execution agents.

Can I skip interactive planning questions and use default decisions for context management?

Yes, you can skip interactive planning questions and use default decisions for context management by enabling --auto mode, which bypasses interactive prompts and allows the AI to pick recommended defaults automatically.

Does the discuss phase context tool support bulk question generation for research planning?

Yes, the discuss phase context tool supports bulk question generation for research planning via --power mode, which generates questions into a file-based UI so you can answer at your own pace.

How do interactive discuss cycles work with automatic plan and execute phases?

Interactive discuss cycles work with automatic plan and execute phases by enabling --chain mode, which runs interactive context-building questions first, then automatically transitions into the subsequent plan and execute steps.

When should I not use adaptive questioning for phase context extraction?

You should not use adaptive questioning for phase context extraction when your decisions are already fully documented or when downstream agents do not require a structured CONTEXT.md file to guide their research and planning workflows.
