SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Research phase implementation is needed to gather context, requirements, and constraints to plan a phase effectively, ensuring reliable roadmaps and reduce rework.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Generates phase-specific research artifacts like ROADMAP alignment, RESEARCH.md with patterns, and risk considerations.
  • Supports downstream planning by informing gsd-plan-phase with validated context.
  • Helps teams prepare for phase execution with lightweight, repeatable research templates.

Quick Start

Trigger the gsd-research-phase with the target phase number to produce a structured RESEARCH.md for that phase.

FAQPage Schema
How do I gather requirements and context for a project phase before planning?

To gather requirements for phase planning, use this Skill to generate a structured RESEARCH.md artifact. It collects domain knowledge, constraints, and patterns to validate your roadmap and reduce downstream rework.

What is the best way to document phase research for a roadmap-aligned project?

Documenting phase research is best handled by producing a structured RESEARCH.md file. This ensures all phase goals, domain context, and risk considerations are captured in a repeatable template for planners.

How do I create a RESEARCH.md document for phase-specific constraints and risks?

You can create a RESEARCH.md document by triggering this Skill with your target phase number. It automatically structures your phase-specific research, aligning context artifacts and risk considerations with your project roadmap.

Do I need a project roadmap before starting phase research?

Yes, a project roadmap is required before starting phase research. This Skill applies across ROADMAP-aligned projects, using the roadmap to guide context collection and ensure the generated research artifacts satisfy phase validation requirements.

How does phase research support downstream phase planning and execution?

Phase research supports downstream planning by informing the gsd-plan-phase process with validated context. The resulting RESEARCH.md artifact ensures teams execute phases with reduced rework and reliable roadmaps.
