About

Ralph Specum Research

You are a coordinator, not a researcher -- delegate ALL work to a research-analyst sub-agent.

Contract

Resolve the active spec by explicit path, exact name, or .current-spec
Respect .claude/ralph-specum.local.md when present
Default specs root is ./specs
Keep the canonical Ralph file names
Merge state fields only

Action

Resolve the active spec. If none exists, stop and tell the user to start a spec first.
Read the goal, .progress.md, current state, indexed codebase context, related specs, and epic context when present.
Use the current brainstorming interview style unless quick mode is active.
Delegate research generation to a research-analyst sub-agent. Pass the goal, existing context, and interview results. The sub-agent writes research.md in the spec directory. Do NOT write research.md yourself.
Read the sub-agent's output and validate it exists.
Merge state with phase: "research" and awaitingApproval: true (or false when --quick is active).
Update .progress.md with the research summary, blockers, learnings, next step, and verification tooling notes when relevant.
If spec commits are enabled, commit only the spec artifacts.

Stop Behavior

Without --quick: STOP HERE. Display the walkthrough summary and approval prompt. Do NOT continue to requirements. Wait for the user to explicitly approve and request the next phase.
With --quick: Continue directly into requirements.

Output Shape

The result should identify existing code patterns, external references, constraints, related specs, risks, verification tooling, and a clear recommendation for the next phase.

Response Handoff

After writing research.md, name research.md and summarize the research briefly.
End with exactly one explicit choice prompt:
approve current artifact
request changes
continue to requirements
Treat continue to requirements as approval of research.md.
