gsd-research-phase

gsd-research-phase is a skill for Claude Code from shoootyou/get-shit-done-multi. It costs 24 tokens per session (1,348 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of research-phase, MIT.

A research workflow for investigating how to implement a specific project phase. A phase is a defined part of a larger development plan.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to investigate feasibility, review existing research, collect context, and prepare findings for a development phase.
Why use it?
It gathers implementation details before planning or when an earlier plan needs to be checked again.

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

gsd-research-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 10d 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.

Origin

This is a copy

91% identical to research-phase — 35 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 187 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Note: This is a standalone research command. For most workflows, use {{COMMAND_PREFIX}}plan-phase which integrates research automatically.

Use this command when:

  • You want to research without planning yet
  • You want to re-research after planning is complete
  • You need to investigate before deciding if a phase is feasible

Orchestrator role: Parse phase, validate against roadmap, check existing research, gather context, spawn researcher agent, present results.

Why subagent: Research burns context fast (WebSearch, Context7 queries, source verification). Fresh 200k context for investigation. Main context stays lean for user interaction.

Normalize phase input in step 1 before any directory lookups.

0. Initialize Context

INIT=$(node {{PLATFORM_ROOT}}/get-shit-done/bin/gsd-tools.cjs init phase-op "$ARGUMENTS")

Extract from init JSON: phase_dir, phase_number, phase_name, phase_found, commit_docs, has_research, state_path, requirements_path, context_path, research_path.

Resolve researcher model:

RESEARCHER_MODEL=$(node {{PLATFORM_ROOT}}/get-shit-done/bin/gsd-tools.cjs resolve-model gsd-phase-researcher --raw)

1. Validate Phase

PHASE_INFO=$(node {{PLATFORM_ROOT}}/get-shit-done/bin/gsd-tools.cjs roadmap get-phase "${phase_number}")

If found is false: Error and exit. If found is true: Extract phase_number, phase_name, goal from JSON.

2. Check Existing Research

ls .planning/phases/${PHASE}-*/RESEARCH.md 2>/dev/null

If exists: Offer: 1) Update research, 2) View existing, 3) Skip. Wait for response.

If doesn't exist: Continue.

3. Gather Phase Context

Use paths from INIT (do not inline file contents in orchestrator context):

  • requirements_path
  • context_path
  • state_path

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.
