FAQPage Schema
How do I plan complex software phase workflows and gather implementation context?

Planning complex phase workflows requires structured researcher roles to investigate options and gather context. This approach validates phases against roadmaps, extracts actionable plans, and produces a RESEARCH.md artifact to guide implementation.

What is the best way to research architecture and tooling options for a development phase?

Researching architecture and tooling options is best handled by spawning a dedicated phase researcher agent. This agent explores available options, loads phase context, and generates reproducible guidance for the team.

How do I validate a development phase against my project roadmap?

Validating a development phase against a roadmap involves loading the phase context and checking alignment with project milestones. This structured research process ensures the phase fits the broader plan before detailed implementation begins.

Can I integrate phase research artifacts directly into my planning workflow?

Yes, phase research artifacts integrate directly into planning workflows. The process generates a RESEARCH.md file designed specifically to feed into and inform the subsequent phase planning commands.

When do I need to generate a structured research artifact for phase planning?

You need to generate a structured research artifact when planning complex phase workflows that require architecture and tooling decisions. This ensures reproducible guidance and actionable plans are available before implementation starts.
