+
+**Refactored /gsd:research-project to spawn 4 parallel gsd-researcher agents - context reduction from ~565 lines to 137 lines in main thread**
+
+## Performance
+
+- **Duration:** 3 min
+- **Started:** 2026-01-15T23:01:53Z
+- **Completed:** 2026-01-15T23:05:04Z
+- **Tasks:** 3
+- **Files modified:** 3
+
+## Accomplishments
+- Rewrote /gsd:research-project to spawn 4 parallel gsd-researcher agents
+- Each agent writes its own file (STACK.md, FEATURES.md, ARCHITECTURE.md, PITFALLS.md)
+- Orchestrator synthesizes SUMMARY.md after all agents complete
+- Deprecated workflows/research-project.md with redirect to agent
+- Deprecated references/research-pitfalls.md with redirect to agent
+
+## Task Commits
+
+Each task was committed atomically:
+
+1. **Task 1: Refactor /gsd:research-project to thin orchestrator** - `982faf1` (refactor)
+2. **Task 2: Deprecate workflows/research-project.md** - `fc67d2c` (docs)
+3. **Task 3: Deprecate research-pitfalls.md reference** - `ccac62d` (docs)
+
+## Files Modified
+- `commands/gsd/research-project.md` - Thin orchestrator spawning 4 parallel agents (137 lines)
+- `get-shit-done/workflows/research-project.md` - Deprecation notice pointing to agent (23 lines)
+- `get-shit-done/references/research-pitfalls.md` - Deprecation notice with preserved content
+
+## Decisions Made
+- Parallel agent spawning for maximum research throughput
+- Each agent writes directly to .planning/research/ (no orchestrator bottleneck)
+- Orchestrator handles project analysis, question generation, and final synthesis
+- Content preserved in reference file for historical reference
+
+## Deviations from Plan
+
+None - plan executed exactly as written.
+
+## Issues Encountered
+
+None.
+
+## User Setup Required
+
+None - no external service configuration required.
+
+## Next Phase Readiness
+- Phase 14 (Researcher Agent) complete
+- All three plans executed:
+  - 14-01: Created gsd-researcher agent (902 lines)
+  - 14-02: Integrated with /gsd:research-phase
+  - 14-03: Integrated with /gsd:research-project (parallel spawning)
+- Project complete - all 33 plans executed
