discuss-phase

discuss-phase is a command for Claude Code from sairam0424/MindForge. It costs 7 tokens per session (1,259 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A discussion step for capturing implementation decisions before creating a plan for a complex development phase. It asks about preferences, design choices, technical approaches, external services, and edge cases.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it before planning phases that involve user interfaces, several valid technical approaches, external services, or detailed requirements.
Why use it?
It prevents plans from being generic or based on assumptions. The resulting plan reflects decisions the project team has already made.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

discuss-phase scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 4d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

MindForge — Discuss Phase Command

Usage: /mindforge:discuss-phase [N] [--batch] [--auto]

Captures implementation decisions before planning begins.

Run this BEFORE /mindforge:plan-phase for complex phases.

Purpose

Planning without discussion produces generic plans. Discussion captures YOUR decisions — layout preferences, library choices, UX specifics, edge cases you've already thought through — so the planner builds what you actually want, not what seems reasonable.

When to use

  • Any phase with UI/UX components (visual decisions need capturing)
  • Any phase with multiple valid implementation approaches
  • Any phase where you already have opinions on the approach
  • Any phase touching external services (your preferences on APIs matter)
  • Skip for trivial phases (e.g., "add one field to an existing form")

Step 1 — Analyse the phase scope

Read:

  • ROADMAP.md for the phase description
  • REQUIREMENTS.md for the requirements in this phase
  • ARCHITECTURE.md for relevant architectural context

Identify the phase's primary domain and any secondary domains. If multiple domains are involved, cover each relevant set of questions.

  • Visual/UI → ask about layout, interactions, states, empty states, animations
  • API/Backend → ask about response format, error handling, auth approach, versioning
  • Data/Database → ask about schema design, migration strategy, data volume expectations
  • Integration → ask about third-party API choices, error recovery, retry strategy
  • Infrastructure → ask about deployment strategy, scaling approach, observability

Step 2 — Structured discussion

Ask questions ONE AT A TIME. Wait for the full answer before asking the next. Do not batch questions (unless --batch flag is provided).

Visual/UI phases — ask about:

  1. "Walk me through what a user sees on this screen from top to bottom."
  2. "What does the empty state look like? (nothing loaded yet / no results / error)"
  3. "Any animations or transitions you're picturing? Or keep it static?"
  4. "On mobile — stacks vertically or anything different?"
  5. "Any edge cases? (very long text, images that fail to load, loading states)"

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
