kata-research-phase
Note: This is a standalone research command. For most workflows, use /kata-plan-phase which integrates research automatically.
Use this command when:
- You want to research without planning yet
- You want to re-research after planning is complete
- You need to investigate before deciding if a phase is feasible
Orchestrator role: Parse phase, validate against roadmap, check existing research, gather context, spawn researcher agent, present results.
Why subagent: Research burns context fast (WebSearch, Context7 queries, source verification). Fresh 200k context for investigation. Main context stays lean for user interaction.
Normalize phase input in step 1 before any directory lookups.
