Use this skill when the user asks for /phase-research, phase research, requirement understanding, implementation research, or the first stage of an automated software delivery flow.
Purpose
Turn a request into grounded context before design or implementation.
Workflow
Search for existing implementations in the current repo.
Search external examples when useful, preferring primary documentation and reputable source code.
Check framework/library documentation when the request depends on specific APIs.
Question the requirement:
What user or system need does it satisfy?
Which parts are required now?
Which parts look like premature scope?
What is the simplest viable implementation?
Produce a concise research report.
Output
Include:
current repo findings
relevant external references
feasible implementation options
recommended direction
major risks and unknowns
requirements that should be simplified, clarified, or removed
End with PHASE_RESEARCH_DONE when the report is complete. If research is blocked, output PHASE_RESEARCH_BLOCKED and list the blocker.
