Lex Christopherson a7249ebe83 feat(discuss-phase): intelligent gray area analysis with scope guardrails
- Analyze phase to identify gray areas by category (UI, UX, Behavior, etc.)
- Present multi-select for user to choose which areas to discuss
- Deep-dive each selected area with focused questioning loop
- Explicit scope guardrail: clarify HOW, never expand WHAT
- Capture deferred ideas without acting on them
- Downstream awareness: CONTEXT.md feeds researcher and planner agents
- Template restructured for decisions (domain, decisions, discretion, deferred)

Extract implementation decisions that downstream agents need — researcher and planner will use CONTEXT.md to know what to investigate and what choices are locked.

How it works:

  1. Analyze the phase to identify gray areas (UI, UX, behavior, etc.)
  2. Present gray areas — user selects which to discuss
  3. Deep-dive each selected area until satisfied
  4. Create CONTEXT.md with decisions that guide research and planning

Output: {phase}-CONTEXT.md — decisions clear enough that downstream agents can act without asking the user again

Phase number: $ARGUMENTS (required)

Load project state: @.planning/STATE.md

Load roadmap: @.planning/ROADMAP.md

1. Validate phase number (error if missing or not in roadmap) 2. Check if CONTEXT.md exists (offer update/view/skip if yes) 3. **Analyze phase** — Identify domain boundary and gray areas by category 4. **Present gray areas** — Multi-select AskUserQuestion: which to discuss? 5. **Deep-dive each area** — Loop per area until user says "move on" 6. **Write CONTEXT.md** — Structured by decisions made 7. Offer next steps (research or plan)

CRITICAL: Scope guardrail

  • Phase boundary from ROADMAP.md is FIXED
  • Discussion clarifies HOW to implement, not WHETHER to add more
  • If user suggests new capabilities: "That's its own phase. I'll note it for later."
  • Capture deferred ideas — don't lose them, don't act on them

Gray area categories (use what's relevant):

  • UI — Layout, visual presentation, information density
  • UX — Interactions, flows, feedback
  • Behavior — Runtime behavior, state changes
  • Empty/Edge States — What shows in unusual situations
  • Content — What information is shown/hidden

Do NOT ask about (downstream agents handle these):

  • Technical implementation (researcher investigates)
  • Architecture choices (planner decides)
  • Performance concerns (researcher/planner handle)
  • Scope expansion (roadmap defines scope)

<success_criteria>

  • Gray areas identified through intelligent analysis
  • User chose which areas to discuss
  • Each selected area explored until satisfied
  • Scope creep redirected to deferred ideas
  • CONTEXT.md captures decisions, not vague vision
  • User knows next steps </success_criteria>
