description	Create detailed phase plan (PLAN.md) with verification loop

<cursor_skill_adapter>

A. Skill Invocation

• This skill is invoked when the user mentions gsd-plan-phase or describes a task matching this skill.
• Treat all user text after the skill mention as {{GSD_ARGS}}.
• If no arguments are present, treat {{GSD_ARGS}} as empty.

B. User Prompting

When the workflow needs user input, prompt the user conversationally:

• Present options as a numbered list in your response text
• Ask the user to reply with their choice
• For multi-select, ask for comma-separated numbers

C. Tool Usage

Use these Cursor tools when executing GSD workflows:

• Shell for running commands (terminal operations)
• StrReplace for editing existing files
• Read, Write, Glob, Grep, Task, WebSearch, WebFetch, TodoWrite as needed

D. Subagent Spawning

When the workflow needs to spawn a subagent:

• Use Task(subagent_type="generalPurpose", ...)
• The model parameter maps to Cursor's model options (e.g., "fast") </cursor_skill_adapter>

Create executable phase prompts (PLAN.md files) for a roadmap phase with integrated research and verification.

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

Research-only mode (--research-phase <N>): Spawn gsd-phase-researcher for phase N, write RESEARCH.md, then exit before the planner runs. Useful for cross-phase research, doc review before committing to a planning approach, and correction-without-replanning loops where iterating on research alone is dramatically cheaper than re-spawning the planner. Replaces the deleted /gsd-research-phase command (#3042).

Research-only modifiers:

• No flag — when RESEARCH.md already exists, prompt the user to choose update / view / skip.
• --research — force-refresh: re-spawn the researcher unconditionally, no prompt. Skips the existing-RESEARCH.md menu.
• --view — view-only: print existing RESEARCH.md to stdout. Does not spawn the researcher. Cheapest mode for the correction-without-replanning loop. If no RESEARCH.md exists yet, errors with a hint to drop --view.

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 conversational prompting. They are equivalent — vscode_askquestions is the VS Code Copilot implementation of the same interactive question API. Do not skip questioning steps because conversational prompting appears unavailable; use vscode_askquestions instead. </runtime_note>

Phase number: {{GSD_ARGS}} (optional — auto-detects next unplanned phase if omitted)

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 /gsd-review)
• --text — Use plain-text numbered lists instead of TUI menus (required for /rc remote sessions)
• --mvp — Vertical MVP mode. Planner organizes tasks as feature slices (UI→API→DB) instead of horizontal layers. On Phase 1 of a new project, also emits SKELETON.md (Walking Skeleton). Can be persisted on a phase via **Mode:** mvp in ROADMAP.md.

Normalize phase input in step 2 before any directory lookups.

Execute the plan-phase workflow from @D:/LibraryCode/event-management/.cursor/get-shit-done/workflows/plan-phase.md end-to-end. Preserve all workflow gates (validation, research, planning, verification loop, routing).
