To validate project phase feasibility against a roadmap, you need structured phase research that maps dependencies and gathers context. This process checks existing research and spawns a specialized researcher agent to assess practical implementation approaches.

Structured phase research is the process of identifying practical approaches to implement a project phase by validating it against a roadmap and mapping dependencies. It generates a RESEARCH.md file to feed concrete planning outputs.

You generate a RESEARCH.md file for phase implementation by running a phase research workflow that validates phase feasibility and orchestrates a specialized researcher agent. This outputs structured research directly for planning.

You need to spawn a specialized researcher agent for project planning when a specific phase requires feasibility assessment and context gathering. It orchestrates research to validate the phase against the overall roadmap.

Yes, phase research requires an existing roadmap to validate dependencies and check feasibility. The workflow specifically validates the phase against the roadmap to ensure practical implementation approaches are grounded.
