SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Research how to implement a phase within the Get Shit Done workflow, enabling structured exploration and validation of phase feasibility with a dedicated gsd-phase-researcher.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Spawns a specialized gsd-phase-researcher agent to explore implementation options and patterns.
  • Validates the phase against the roadmap, gathers context from phase data, and records findings for planning.
  • Useful when deciding if a phase is feasible, re-evaluating after planning, or exploring alternative approaches.

Quick Start

Provide a phase number to begin researching its implementation and context.

FAQPage Schema
How do I research the feasibility of a planned implementation phase?

To research implementation feasibility, you can validate the phase against your roadmap and spawn a specialized researcher agent to explore options. This process gathers phase context and produces a RESEARCH.md file documenting the findings.

What is the best way to validate a new phase against an existing project roadmap?

Validating a new phase against a roadmap involves gathering specific phase data and exploring implementation patterns. A dedicated researcher agent can analyze this context to ensure the planned phase aligns with overall project goals.

When do I need to re-evaluate an implementation phase after planning changes?

You need to re-evaluate an implementation phase when project roadmaps change, impacting previously validated plans. Re-running the phase research allows you to explore alternative approaches and confirm the phase is still feasible.

How do I document implementation options and patterns for a software phase?

Documenting implementation options requires exploring architectural patterns and validating feasibility. The research process generates a standard RESEARCH.md file that records all findings, context, and validation results for planning.

Can I explore alternative implementation approaches for a phase I already planned?

Yes, you can explore alternative approaches by re-evaluating existing phases. The researcher agent investigates different implementation options and patterns, updating the phase context to reflect any new architectural decisions or roadmap shifts.

What do I need to start investigating a phase implementation?

To start investigating a phase implementation, you need to provide the specific phase number. This allows the system to gather the necessary context and spawn the researcher agent to validate it against the roadmap.
