SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Create executable phase plans (PLAN.md) for roadmap phases with an integrated verification loop to ensure each phase has defined criteria and validation steps before execution.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Orchestrates research, planning, and verification for a given phase, producing PLAN.md and CONTEXT.md as needed.
  • Spawns gsd-planner and coordinates with gsd-plan-checker to validate outputs, iterating until success or hitting max iterations.
  • Supports flags like --research, --skip-research, --gaps, --prd to adapt workflow to different planning scenarios.

Quick Start

Run the gsd-plan-phase workflow to generate a PLAN.md for the next roadmap phase.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create an executable phase plan with integrated verification?

To create an executable phase plan, this workflow generates a PLAN.md file for roadmap phases and runs an integrated verification loop, coordinating planning and checking until validation succeeds.

What is the best way to validate roadmap phase outputs before execution?

Validating roadmap phase outputs is handled by orchestrating a plan-checker that applies guardrails, iterating against defined criteria until the PLAN.md passes validation or hits a maximum iteration limit.

Can I skip research when generating a PLAN.md for a specific phase?

Yes, you can skip research when generating a PLAN.md by using the --skip-research flag, or use --research and --gaps to adapt the planning workflow to different scenarios and data availability.

How does the phase planning orchestrator handle iterations and failures?

The phase planning orchestrator handles failures by spawning a planner and a checker, looping the validation process until outputs meet guardrail criteria or the system reaches its maximum iteration limit.

Do I need a PRD to generate a phase plan?

You do not strictly need a PRD to generate a phase plan, but supplying the --prd flag adapts the workflow to incorporate product requirements directly into the PLAN.md and CONTEXT.md outputs.
