Install with Codex or Claude Copy this prompt, paste it into Codex, Claude, or another assistant, and let it review the skill page and install it for you.
A direct command skips the review prompt. Inspect the source before running it.
Execute Phase 1 research pipeline using Claude Code native team infrastructure.
The skill (main session) handles team lifecycle: TeamCreate, coordinator + worker
spawning, task monitoring, and cleanup. The coordinator teammate manages task graphs
and directs workers via SendMessage.
<Use_When>
Starting a new RTL design from specification
User says "research team", "Phase 1 team", "parallel research"
Have complex spec requiring multi-expert parallel analysis
Need maximum parallelism for tree-of-thought candidate exploration
</Use_When>
<Do_Not_Use_When>
Simple single-domain design (use p1-spec-research for simpler flow)
Already have Phase 1 artifacts complete (proceed to Phase 2)
Only need domain consultation (use domain-consult)
</Do_Not_Use_When>
Prerequisites
No phase prerequisites (this is the first phase).
Specification documents should be available in specs/ directory.
