SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Provides focused, actionable research for a single project phase when the team lacks domain knowledge, library familiarity, or integration expertise, preventing poor design decisions during planning.

Core Features & Use Cases

Targeted research agent: Spawns a researcher subagent with access to Context7, WebFetch, and WebSearch to gather up-to-date recommendations and examples.
Phase-scoped outputs: Produces a persistent file at .planning/phase-{N}-research.md, including recommendation, rationale, versions, code examples, and sources for the phase owner to review.
Use cases: Investigate an unfamiliar library, evaluate a niche API integration (FHIR, payments), or fulfill a ROADMAP research flag before planning.

Quick Start

Run the qualia-research command for the current phase and tell the assistant the specific library, domain, or API to investigate so it generates a .planning/phase-{N}-research.md with recommendations and sources.

FAQPage Schema

How do I research an unfamiliar library before planning a project phase?▼

Phase-specific technical research investigates a domain, library, or integration using Context7, WebFetch, and WebSearch to gather up-to-date recommendations and code examples. It produces a persistent research document for the phase owner to review.

What is the best way to evaluate a niche API integration during phase planning?▼

Evaluating a niche API integration during phase planning is best done by spawning a researcher subagent to investigate the API and write a phase research document. This document includes recommendations, rationale, versions, and sources to prevent poor design decisions.

When do I need to generate a phase research document?▼

You need to generate a phase research document when a project phase touches unfamiliar libraries, niche APIs, or when your ROADMAP or SUMMARY marks a research flag. It provides focused, actionable research when your team lacks domain knowledge.

How do I use WebFetch and Context7 to investigate a domain for project planning?▼

You use WebFetch and Context7 to investigate a domain by spawning a targeted research agent that gathers sources and examples. The agent leverages these tools alongside WebSearch to produce a .planning/phase-{N}-research.md file with recommendations.

Does phase-specific technical research honor locked decisions from existing project context?▼

Yes, phase-specific technical research honors locked decisions by using your existing project context files. It ensures the generated research notes and recommendations align with constraints already established in your project roadmap.
