Tom Boucher 1e6737cd8e feat(plan-phase): --research-phase flag + scrub stale slash-command refs (#3042, #3044) (#3045)
* feat(plan-phase): --research-phase flag absorbs deleted /gsd-research-phase + scrub stale refs (#3042, #3044)

#3042 (orphaned research-phase): /gsd-research-phase had a workflow file
but no slash-command stub. Rather than restore the orphan, the research-
only capability is now a flag on /gsd-plan-phase:

  /gsd-plan-phase --research-phase <N>

When set, the workflow scopes to phase N, runs the research step (Section
5 of the existing plan-phase workflow), then early-exits before the
planner/plan-checker/verifier chain.

Per RCA against the deleted standalone, the flag adds two modifiers to
fully cover the original surface (Option B from the RCA discussion):

- --view : print existing RESEARCH.md to stdout, no spawn. Cheapest mode
  for the correction-without-replanning loop the issue reporter
  explicitly called out. Errors with a clear hint if RESEARCH.md is
  missing.
- --research : reuse the existing "force re-research" semantics. In
  research-only mode this skips the existing-RESEARCH.md prompt and
  re-spawns unconditionally.
- Neither flag, RESEARCH.md exists : prompt update/view/skip. Mirrors
  the deleted standalone's existing-artifact menu (#3042 RCA).

#3044 (stale slash-command refs): scrubbed five deleted commands from
all user-facing surfaces, including English docs, 4 localized doc sets
(ja-JP, ko-KR, zh-CN, pt-BR), workflows, templates, and references.

  /gsd-check-todos          → /gsd-capture --list
  /gsd-new-workspace        → /gsd-workspace --new
  /gsd-status               → /gsd-progress
  /gsd-plan-milestone-gaps  → table rows / orphan sections removed
                              (PR #3038 only scrubbed workflows/agent;
                              missed the docs surfaces this PR covers)
  /gsd-research-phase       → /gsd-plan-phase --research-phase

Includes a fix to docs/issue-driven-orchestration.md (PR #3036)
which itself referenced /gsd-new-workspace 4 times — self-correction.

Removed:
- get-shit-done/workflows/research-phase.md (orphan, capability
  absorbed into --research-phase flag)

Tests:
- tests/bug-3042-3044-research-flag-and-stale-refs.test.cjs — 46
  structural-IR tests across both bugs:
  - argument-hint advertises --research-phase + --view
  - workflow parses --research-phase, sets RESEARCH_ONLY,
    early-exits before planner
  - --view prints RESEARCH.md without spawning
  - --research forces refresh in research-only mode
  - existing-RESEARCH.md prompt path with update/view/skip
  - workflows/research-phase.md is removed
  - 5 deleted slash-commands absent from 17 English user-facing
    surfaces + 16 localized doc surfaces (4 locales × 4 docs each)
  - replacement command tokens present where deleted ones lived

6950/6950 full suite pass. Lints clean.

Closes #3042
Closes #3044

* fix: address all 8 CR findings on PR #3045

Major (3):
- get-shit-done/workflows/plan-phase.md:344 — added explicit early-exit
  guard at Section 5.1: "Skip if RESEARCH_ONLY=true". Without it, an LLM
  could fall through "use existing, skip to step 6" → planner spawn,
  violating the research-only contract. The guard makes the early-exit
  unreachable from any non-research-only branch.
- get-shit-done/references/continuation-format.md (3 examples) +
  zh-CN/.../continuation-format.md (3 examples) — pointed to
  `/gsd-plan-phase --research-phase` but docs/COMMANDS.md didn't
  document the flag. Added a full --research-phase + --view + --research
  modifier section to the /gsd-plan-phase flag table in COMMANDS.md so
  the canonical reference matches the continuation examples.

Minor (5):
- docs/FEATURES.md:1632 — `/gsd-plan-phase --research-phase` →
  `/gsd-plan-phase --research-phase <N>` (include required arg).
- get-shit-done/templates/README.md:46 — NN-VALIDATION.md producer
  reverted from `/gsd-plan-phase --research-phase` (Nyquist) to plain
  `/gsd-plan-phase` (Nyquist). VALIDATION.md is created during normal
  Nyquist flow, not research-only mode — the bulk replacement was
  wrong for that line.
- get-shit-done/workflows/help.md:89 — signature line was missing
  `--research`; added it alongside `--research-phase` and `--view`.
- tests/bug-3042-3044-...:197 — promptHasView/promptHasSkip were
  tautological (matched anywhere in 1700-line workflow). Tightened
  to a proximity check anchored on "RESEARCH.md already exists" prompt
  header within a 600-char window. Updated workflow to emit that
  literal phrase.
- tests/feat-2840-...:95 — workspace assertion used `/gsd-workspace`
  but the documented replacement is `/gsd-workspace --new`. Tightened
  to require both tokens (in 3 places: requiredCommands list, regex
  in conceptPairs, error message).

6950/6950 full suite pass. Lint clean.

Create executable phase prompts (PLAN.md files) for a roadmap phase with integrated research and verification.

Default flow: Research (if needed) → Plan → Verify → Done

Research-only mode (--research-phase <N>): Spawn gsd-phase-researcher for phase N, write RESEARCH.md, then exit before the planner runs. Useful for cross-phase research, doc review before committing to a planning approach, and correction-without-replanning loops where iterating on research alone is dramatically cheaper than re-spawning the planner. Replaces the deleted /gsd-research-phase command (#3042).

Research-only modifiers:

  • No flag — when RESEARCH.md already exists, prompt the user to choose update / view / skip.
  • --research — force-refresh: re-spawn the researcher unconditionally, no prompt. Skips the existing-RESEARCH.md menu.
  • --view — view-only: print existing RESEARCH.md to stdout. Does not spawn the researcher. Cheapest mode for the correction-without-replanning loop. If no RESEARCH.md exists yet, errors with a hint to drop --view.

Orchestrator role: Parse arguments, validate phase, research domain (unless skipped), spawn gsd-planner, verify with gsd-plan-checker, iterate until pass or max iterations, present results.

<execution_context> @/.claude/get-shit-done/workflows/plan-phase.md @/.claude/get-shit-done/references/ui-brand.md </execution_context>

<runtime_note> Copilot (VS Code): Use vscode_askquestions wherever this workflow calls AskUserQuestion. They are equivalent — vscode_askquestions is the VS Code Copilot implementation of the same interactive question API. Do not skip questioning steps because AskUserQuestion appears unavailable; use vscode_askquestions instead. </runtime_note>

Phase number: $ARGUMENTS (optional — auto-detects next unplanned phase if omitted)

Flags:

  • --research — Force re-research even if RESEARCH.md exists
  • --skip-research — Skip research, go straight to planning
  • --gaps — Gap closure mode (reads VERIFICATION.md, skips research)
  • --skip-verify — Skip verification loop
  • --prd <file> — Use a PRD/acceptance criteria file instead of discuss-phase. Parses requirements into CONTEXT.md automatically. Skips discuss-phase entirely.
  • --reviews — Replan incorporating cross-AI review feedback from REVIEWS.md (produced by /gsd-review)
  • --text — Use plain-text numbered lists instead of TUI menus (required for /rc remote sessions)
  • --mvp — Vertical MVP mode. Planner organizes tasks as feature slices (UI→API→DB) instead of horizontal layers. On Phase 1 of a new project, also emits SKELETON.md (Walking Skeleton). Can be persisted on a phase via **Mode:** mvp in ROADMAP.md.

Normalize phase input in step 2 before any directory lookups.

Execute the plan-phase workflow from @~/.claude/get-shit-done/workflows/plan-phase.md end-to-end. Preserve all workflow gates (validation, research, planning, verification loop, routing).
