Yes, contextual analysis validates phase implementation by researching technical approaches and gathering information using a specialized agent. It checks the proposed implementation against the project roadmap to ensure alignment.

The best way to integrate phase research into project planning is by running a standalone research command that feeds contextual findings directly into the planning workflow. This facilitates a cohesive transition from technical investigation to execution.

Yes, phase research requires an existing project roadmap to function properly because the specialized agent validates gathered information and technical approaches against it. This ensures the research aligns with broader project objectives.

To initiate contextual analysis for a project phase, run the research command with the specific phase number as an argument. This triggers a specialized agent to investigate technical approaches and gather relevant information.

You should not use automated phase research when a project roadmap is undefined, as the specialized agent validates implementation approaches against it. Without this contextual baseline, the research cannot ensure phase alignment.
