Plan Research

Research implementation approach before planning or coding. Produces RESEARCH.md (or an equivalent research artifact) that downstream planning skills consume.

When to use

  • Research without planning yet
  • Re-research after planning is complete
  • Investigate feasibility before committing to a phase
  • Ad-hoc research for a topic not yet tied to a roadmap phase (write under .planning/research/)

For full planning flows, use /plan instead.

Process

1. Resolve scope

  • Phase number (e.g. 3, 2.1): locate .planning/phases/*/ matching the phase; read ROADMAP.md, phase CONTEXT.md, REQUIREMENTS.md, and .planning/PROJECT.md if present.
  • Topic string (e.g. "local build and test workflow"): treat as a research brief; write to .planning/research/<slug>/RESEARCH.md (create directories as needed).
