SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Research phase implementation is needed to gather context, requirements, and constraints to plan a phase effectively, ensuring reliable roadmaps and reduce rework.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Generates phase-specific research artifacts like ROADMAP alignment, RESEARCH.md with patterns, and risk considerations.
  • Supports downstream planning by informing gsd-plan-phase with validated context.
  • Helps teams prepare for phase execution with lightweight, repeatable research templates.

Quick Start

Trigger the gsd-research-phase with the target phase number to produce a structured RESEARCH.md for that phase.

FAQPage Schema
How do I gather requirements and context for a project phase before planning?▼

To gather requirements for phase planning, use this Skill to generate a structured RESEARCH.md artifact. It collects domain knowledge, constraints, and patterns to validate your roadmap and reduce downstream rework.

What is the best way to document phase research for a roadmap-aligned project?▼

Documenting phase research is best handled by producing a structured RESEARCH.md file. This ensures all phase goals, domain context, and risk considerations are captured in a repeatable template for planners.

How do I create a RESEARCH.md document for phase-specific constraints and risks?▼

You can create a RESEARCH.md document by triggering this Skill with your target phase number. It automatically structures your phase-specific research, aligning context artifacts and risk considerations with your project roadmap.

Do I need a project roadmap before starting phase research?▼

Yes, a project roadmap is required before starting phase research. This Skill applies across ROADMAP-aligned projects, using the roadmap to guide context collection and ensure the generated research artifacts satisfy phase validation requirements.

How does phase research support downstream phase planning and execution?▼

Phase research supports downstream planning by informing the gsd-plan-phase process with validated context. The resulting RESEARCH.md artifact ensures teams execute phases with reduced rework and reliable roadmaps.
