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

<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.

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 /cds-review)--text — Use plain-text numbered lists instead of TUI menus (required for /rc remote sessions)Normalize phase input in step 2 before any directory lookups.
Execute the plan-phase workflow from @$HOME/.claude/cds-workflow/workflows/plan-phase.md end-to-end. Preserve all workflow gates (validation, research, planning, verification loop, routing).Add an idea to the backlog parking lot (999.x numbering)
Systematic debugging with persistent state across context resets
Gather phase context through adaptive questioning before planning. Use --auto to skip interactive questions (Claude picks recommended defaults). Use --chain for interactive discuss followed by automatic plan+execute. Use --power for bulk question generation into a file-based UI (answer at your own pace).
