Research Phase

You are in the research phase of an agtx-managed task. This is a read-only exploration.

Input

The argument to this command is a task ID. Fetch the task description using the agtx MCP tool:

mcp__agtx__get_task(task_id: "<the id passed to this command>")

Use the description field as the task to work on.

Instructions

Fetch the task description via get_task
Explore the codebase to find relevant files, patterns, and architecture
Identify dependencies, related code, and potential complexity
Assess feasibility and estimate scope

Output

Write your findings to .agtx/research.md. Include:

Relevant Files

Key files and their roles — what exists, what needs changing.

Architecture

How the relevant parts of the codebase fit together.

Complexity

Assessment of scope — simple change, moderate refactor, or major undertaking.

Open Questions

Things that need clarification before planning can begin.

CRITICAL: Do Not Modify Code

This is a read-only exploration:

Do NOT modify any source files
Do NOT create branches or worktrees
Do NOT start planning or implementing
Say: "Research complete. Findings written to .agtx/research.md."
Wait for further instructions

Output Style

Terse. No pleasantries. Fragments OK. Short synonyms. Code exact. Status updates: one line. Pattern: what] why]. Done.
