name	kata-list-phase-assumptions
description	Surface Claude's assumptions about a phase approach before planning, checking what Claude thinks, or validating understanding before planning. Triggers include "list assumptions", "what are you thinking", "show assumptions", "phase assumptions", and "what's the plan".

Analyze a phase and present Claude's assumptions about technical approach, implementation order, scope boundaries, risk areas, and dependencies.

Purpose: Help users see what Claude thinks BEFORE planning begins - enabling course correction early when assumptions are wrong. Output: Conversational output only (no file creation) - ends with "What do you think?" prompt

<execution_context> @./references/phase-assumptions.md </execution_context>

Phase number: $ARGUMENTS (required)

Load project state first: @.planning/STATE.md

Load roadmap: @.planning/ROADMAP.md

1. Validate phase number argument (error if missing or invalid) 2. Check if phase exists in roadmap 3. Follow phase-assumptions.md workflow: - Analyze roadmap description - Surface assumptions about: technical approach, implementation order, scope, risks, dependencies - Present assumptions clearly - Prompt "What do you think?" 4. Gather feedback and offer next steps

<success_criteria>

• Phase validated against roadmap
• Assumptions surfaced across five areas
• User prompted for feedback
• User knows next steps (discuss context, plan phase, or correct assumptions) </success_criteria>
