Source Analysis
Source 1: gsd-codebase-mapper.md
Purpose: Explores codebase for a specific focus area (tech, arch, quality, concerns) and writes structured analysis documents directly to .planning/codebase/.
Key Patterns:
- Focus-area driven exploration (tech, arch, quality, concerns)
- Template-based document generation
- Direct artifact writing (no handoff to orchestrator)
- Always includes file paths in findings
- Prescriptive guidance (HOW, not just WHAT)
Artifacts:
- Creates:
.planning/codebase/{STACK,ARCHITECTURE,STRUCTURE,CONVENTIONS,TESTING,INTEGRATIONS,CONCERNS}.md
- Reads: package.json, requirements.txt, pyproject.toml, source files, git history
Workflow Stage: Discovery/Planning
Local Candidates:

Priority |
plugins/python3-development/agents/codebase-analyzer.md |
Nearly identical purpose - writes to plan/codebase/ |
High |
plugins/python3-development/agents/context-gathering.md |
Task-specific context, narrower scope |
Low |
Source 2: gsd-project-researcher.md
Purpose: Researches domain ecosystems before roadmap creation. Produces comprehensive research files (SUMMARY, STACK, FEATURES, ARCHITECTURE, PITFALLS) in .planning/research/.
Key Patterns:
- Three research modes: Ecosystem, Feasibility, Comparison
- Tool hierarchy: Context7 → Official docs → WebSearch → Verification
- Confidence levels (HIGH/MEDIUM/LOW) with source attribution
- Treats training data as hypothesis requiring verification
Artifacts:
- Creates:
.planning/research/{SUMMARY,STACK,FEATURES,ARCHITECTURE,PITFALLS}.md
- Reads: PROJECT.md, Context7, WebFetch, WebSearch
Workflow Stage: Discovery (pre-Planning)
Local Candidates:

High |
plugins/python3-development/agents/feature-researcher.md |
Researches before implementation, surfaces questions |

Source 3: gsd-research-synthesizer.md
Purpose: Synthesizes outputs from 4 parallel researcher agents into unified SUMMARY.md. Convergence point after parallel discovery research.
Key Patterns:
- Multi-source synthesis (reads 4 research files)
- Executive summary creation
- Pattern identification across domains
- Roadmap implications derivation
- Atomic commit of all research outputs
Artifacts:
- Creates:
.planning/research/SUMMARY.md
- Reads:
.planning/research/{STACK,FEATURES,ARCHITECTURE,PITFALLS}.md

Source 4: gsd-plan-checker.md
Purpose: Verifies plans will achieve phase goal before execution. Goal-backward analysis with 7 verification dimensions.
Key Patterns:
- Goal-backward verification (7 dimensions)
- Requirement coverage checking
- Dependency graph analysis with cycle detection
- Artifact wiring verification (key_links)
- Structured YAML issue reporting (blocker/warning/info)
- Context compliance checking
Artifacts:
- Reads: ROADMAP.md, CONTEXT.md, PLAN.md files
- Returns: Structured verification report (PASSED/ISSUES_FOUND)
Workflow Stage: Planning/Pre-Execution Verification

Phase 2: Enhancement Plan
Files to enhance (High priority only):
codebase-analyzer.md ← patterns from gsd-codebase-mapperfeature-discovery/SKILL.md ← patterns from gsd-project-researcherfeature-researcher.md ← patterns from gsd-project-researcherplan-validator.md ← patterns from gsd-plan-checkerfeature-verifier.md ← patterns from gsd-plan-checker
Cross-cutting enhancement:
- Add GSD artifact recognition to context-gathering agents for interoperability

Files Modified:
| File |
Enhancements Applied |
Source |
plugins/python3-development/agents/codebase-analyzer.md |
Added "concerns" focus area, CONCERNS.md template, prescriptive guidance section, Python-specific issue detection patterns |
gsd-codebase-mapper |
plugins/python3-development/agents/plan-validator.md |
Added 7→8 verification dimensions (artifact wiring, scope sanity), cycle detection algorithm, structured YAML issue reporting with severity levels |
gsd-plan-checker |
plugins/python3-development/agents/context-gathering.md |
Added GSD/BMAD artifact recognition for interoperability |
gsd-codebase-mapper (cross-cutting) |
.claude/skills/external-pattern-integrator/SKILL.md |
Fixed description to remove colons |
(linting fix) |
Deferred Enhancements (didn't fit current files):
| Enhancement |
Reason Deferred |
Suggested Location |
| Research modes (Ecosystem/Feasibility/Comparison) |
feature-researcher is task-scoped, not ecosystem-scoped |
New dedicated ecosystem-researcher agent |
| Multi-source synthesis pattern |
No direct equivalent in current workflow |
Could enhance swarm-task-planner |
| Context compliance checking (Decisions/Discretion/Deferred) |
GSD-specific artifact format |
Adapt if adopting GSD CONTEXT.md format |
