To conduct a workflow phase feasibility study, identify the phase scope and validation criteria, then orchestrate research agents to gather context and generate a structured RESEARCH.md draft for downstream planning.

Documenting phase research for roadmap validation requires producing a standardized RESEARCH.md template that defines orchestration steps, verifies sources, and provides actionable next steps for integration with planning workflows.

Orchestrating research agents for context gathering works by spawning a phase-researcher with necessary phase context, verifying its sources, and outputting structured documentation suitable for planning integration.

Yes, phase research documentation integrates directly with the gsd-plan-phase workflow by outputting a structured RESEARCH.md draft that defines orchestration steps and validation criteria aligned with your roadmap.

You need to generate a RESEARCH.md draft when starting a standalone phase feasibility study, validating a roadmap, or gathering context before integration into a broader planning workflow.

Standalone phase research does not require existing documentation to start; it defines the phase scope and validation criteria itself, then cross-checks any existing research to provide actionable next steps.
