SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Gather phase context through adaptive questioning before planning. Use --auto to skip interactive questions (Claude picks recommended defaults). Use --chain for interactive discuss followed by automatic plan+execute. Use --power for bulk question generation into a file-based UI (answer at your own pace).

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Adaptive, context-building questions that surface decision points before planning.
  • Supports auto, chain, and power modes for flexible interaction flows.
  • Generates a concrete CONTEXT.md that captures decisions to guide researchers and planners.

Quick Start

Start a discuss phase to extract decisions and produce a CONTEXT.md guiding the research and planning steps.

FAQPage Schema
How do I gather phase context for AI workflow planning before starting research?▼

Gather phase context for AI workflow planning by using adaptive questions to surface decision points and gray areas, then generating a CONTEXT.md file that documents all extracted decisions to guide downstream research and planning.

What's the best way to document research decisions for downstream agents automatically?▼

Document research decisions for downstream agents by loading prior context, prompting for unresolved gray areas, and recording all finalized decisions directly into a CONTEXT.md file that guides subsequent planning and execution agents.

Can I skip interactive planning questions and use default decisions for context management?▼

Yes, you can skip interactive planning questions and use default decisions for context management by enabling --auto mode, which bypasses interactive prompts and allows the AI to pick recommended defaults automatically.

Does the discuss phase context tool support bulk question generation for research planning?▼

Yes, the discuss phase context tool supports bulk question generation for research planning via --power mode, which generates questions into a file-based UI so you can answer at your own pace.

How do interactive discuss cycles work with automatic plan and execute phases?▼

Interactive discuss cycles work with automatic plan and execute phases by enabling --chain mode, which runs interactive context-building questions first, then automatically transitions into the subsequent plan and execute steps.

When should I not use adaptive questioning for phase context extraction?▼

You should not use adaptive questioning for phase context extraction when your decisions are already fully documented or when downstream agents do not require a structured CONTEXT.md file to guide their research and planning workflows.
