FAQPage Schema
How do I plan complex software phase workflows and gather implementation context?▼

Planning complex phase workflows requires structured researcher roles to investigate options and gather context. This approach validates phases against roadmaps, extracts actionable plans, and produces a RESEARCH.md artifact to guide implementation.

What is the best way to research architecture and tooling options for a development phase?▼

Researching architecture and tooling options is best handled by spawning a dedicated phase researcher agent. This agent explores available options, loads phase context, and generates reproducible guidance for the team.

How do I validate a development phase against my project roadmap?▼

Validating a development phase against a roadmap involves loading the phase context and checking alignment with project milestones. This structured research process ensures the phase fits the broader plan before detailed implementation begins.

Can I integrate phase research artifacts directly into my planning workflow?▼

Yes, phase research artifacts integrate directly into planning workflows. The process generates a RESEARCH.md file designed specifically to feed into and inform the subsequent phase planning commands.

When do I need to generate a structured research artifact for phase planning?▼

You need to generate a structured research artifact when planning complex phase workflows that require architecture and tooling decisions. This ensures reproducible guidance and actionable plans are available before implementation starts.
