+<step name="smart_discuss">
+
+## Smart Discuss
+
+Run smart discuss for the current phase. Proposes grey area answers in batch tables — the user accepts or overrides per area. Produces identical CONTEXT.md output to regular discuss-phase.
+
+> **Note:** Smart discuss is an autonomous-optimized variant of the `gsd:discuss-phase` skill. It produces identical CONTEXT.md output but uses batch table proposals instead of sequential questioning. The original `discuss-phase` skill remains unchanged (per CTRL-03). Future milestones may extract this to a separate skill file.
+
+**Inputs:** `PHASE_NUM` from execute_phase. Run init to get phase paths:
+
+```bash
+PHASE_STATE=$(node "$HOME/.claude/ez-agents/bin/ez-tools.cjs" init phase-op ${PHASE_NUM})
+```
+
+Parse from JSON: `phase_dir`, `phase_slug`, `padded_phase`, `phase_name`.
+
+---
+
+### Sub-step 1: Load prior context
+
+Read project-level and prior phase context to avoid re-asking decided questions.
+
+**Read project files:**
+
+```bash
+cat .planning/PROJECT.md 2>/dev/null
+cat .planning/REQUIREMENTS.md 2>/dev/null
+cat .planning/STATE.md 2>/dev/null
+```
+
+Extract from these:
+- **PROJECT.md** — Vision, principles, non-negotiables, user preferences
+- **REQUIREMENTS.md** — Acceptance criteria, constraints, must-haves vs nice-to-haves
+- **STATE.md** — Current progress, decisions logged so far
+
+**Read all prior CONTEXT.md files:**
+
+```bash
+find .planning/phases -name "*-CONTEXT.md" 2>/dev/null | sort
+```
+
+For each CONTEXT.md where phase number < current phase:
+- Read the `<decisions>` section — these are locked preferences
+- Read `<specifics>` — particular references or "I want it like X" moments
+- Note patterns (e.g., "user consistently prefers minimal UI", "user rejected verbose output")
+
+**Build internal prior_decisions context** (do not write to file):
+
+```
+<prior_decisions>
+## Project-Level
+- [Key principle or constraint from PROJECT.md]
+- [Requirement affecting this phase from REQUIREMENTS.md]
+
+## From Prior Phases
+### Phase N: [Name]
+- [Decision relevant to current phase]
+- [Preference that establishes a pattern]
+</prior_decisions>
+```
+
+If no prior context exists, continue without — expected for early phases.
+
+---
+
+### Sub-step 2: Scout Codebase
+
+Lightweight codebase scan to inform grey area identification and proposals. Keep under ~5% context.
+
+**Check for existing codebase maps:**
+
+```bash
+ls .planning/codebase/*.md 2>/dev/null
+```
+
+**If codebase maps exist:** Read the most relevant ones (CONVENTIONS.md, STRUCTURE.md, STACK.md based on phase type). Extract reusable components, established patterns, integration points. Skip to building context below.
+
+**If no codebase maps, do targeted grep:**
+
+Extract key terms from the phase goal. Search for related files:
+
+```bash
+grep -rl "{term1}\|{term2}" src/ app/ --include="*.ts" --include="*.tsx" --include="*.js" --include="*.jsx" 2>/dev/null | head -10
+ls src/components/ src/hooks/ src/lib/ src/utils/ 2>/dev/null
+```
+
+Read the 3-5 most relevant files to understand existing patterns.
+
+**Build internal codebase_context** (do not write to file):
+- **Reusable assets** — existing components, hooks, utilities usable in this phase
+- **Established patterns** — how the codebase does state management, styling, data fetching
+- **Integration points** — where new code connects (routes, nav, providers)
+
+---
+
+### Sub-step 3: Analyze Phase and Generate Proposals
+
+**Get phase details:**
+
+```bash
+DETAIL=$(node "$HOME/.claude/ez-agents/bin/ez-tools.cjs" roadmap get-phase ${PHASE_NUM})
+```
+
+Extract `goal`, `requirements`, `success_criteria` from the JSON response.
+
+**Infrastructure detection — check FIRST before generating grey areas:**
+
+A phase is pure infrastructure when ALL of these are true:
+1. Goal keywords match: "scaffolding", "plumbing", "setup", "configuration", "migration", "refactor", "rename", "restructure", "upgrade", "infrastructure"
+2. AND success criteria are all technical: "file exists", "test passes", "config valid", "command runs"
+3. AND no user-facing behavior is described (no "users can", "displays", "shows", "presents")
+
+**If infrastructure-only:** Skip Sub-step 4. Jump directly to Sub-step 5 with minimal CONTEXT.md. Display:
+
+```
+Phase ${PHASE_NUM}: Infrastructure phase — skipping discuss, writing minimal context.
+```
+
+Use these defaults for the CONTEXT.md:
+- `<domain>`: Phase boundary from ROADMAP goal
+- `<decisions>`: Single "### Claude's Discretion" subsection — "All implementation choices are at Claude's discretion — pure infrastructure phase"
+- `<code_context>`: Whatever the codebase scout found
+- `<specifics>`: "No specific requirements — infrastructure phase"
+- `<deferred>`: "None"
+
+**If NOT infrastructure — generate grey area proposals:**
+
+Determine domain type from the phase goal:
+- Something users **SEE** → visual: layout, interactions, states, density
+- Something users **CALL** → interface: contracts, responses, errors, auth
+- Something users **RUN** → execution: invocation, output, behavior modes, flags
+- Something users **READ** → content: structure, tone, depth, flow
+- Something being **ORGANIZED** → organization: criteria, grouping, exceptions, naming
+
+Check prior_decisions — skip grey areas already decided in prior phases.
+
+Generate **3-4 grey areas** with **~4 questions each**. For each question:
+- **Pre-select a recommended answer** based on: prior decisions (consistency), codebase patterns (reuse), domain conventions (standard approaches), ROADMAP success criteria
+- Generate **1-2 alternatives** per question
+- **Annotate** with prior decision context ("You decided X in Phase N") and code context ("Component Y exists with Z variants") where relevant
+
+---
+
+### Sub-step 4: Present Proposals Per Area
+
+Present grey areas **one at a time**. For each area (M of N):
+
+Display a table:
+
+```
+### Grey Area {M}/{N}: {Area Name}
+
+| # | Question | ✅ Recommended | Alternative(s) |
+|---|----------|---------------|-----------------|
+| 1 | {question} | {answer} — {rationale} | {alt1}; {alt2} |
+| 2 | {question} | {answer} — {rationale} | {alt1} |
+| 3 | {question} | {answer} — {rationale} | {alt1}; {alt2} |
+| 4 | {question} | {answer} — {rationale} | {alt1} |
+```
+
+Then prompt the user via **AskUserQuestion**:
+- **header:** "Area {M}/{N}"
+- **question:** "Accept these answers for {Area Name}?"
+- **options:** Build dynamically — always "Accept all" first, then "Change Q1" through "Change QN" for each question (up to 4), then "Discuss deeper" last. Cap at 6 explicit options max (AskUserQuestion adds "Other" automatically).
+
+**On "Accept all":** Record all recommended answers for this area. Move to next area.
+
+**On "Change QN":** Use AskUserQuestion with the alternatives for that specific question:
+- **header:** "{Area Name}"
+- **question:** "Q{N}: {question text}"
+- **options:** List the 1-2 alternatives plus "You decide" (maps to Claude's Discretion)
+
+Record the user's choice. Re-display the updated table with the change reflected. Re-present the full acceptance prompt so the user can make additional changes or accept.
+
+**On "Discuss deeper":** Switch to interactive mode for this area only — ask questions one at a time using AskUserQuestion with 2-3 concrete options per question plus "You decide". After 4 questions, prompt:
+- **header:** "{Area Name}"
+- **question:** "More questions about {area name}, or move to next?"
+- **options:** "More questions" / "Next area"
+
+If "More questions", ask 4 more. If "Next area", display final summary table of captured answers for this area and move on.
+
+**On "Other" (free text):** Interpret as either a specific change request or general feedback. Incorporate into the area's decisions, re-display updated table, re-present acceptance prompt.
+
+**Scope creep handling:** If user mentions something outside the phase domain:
+
+```
+"{Feature} sounds like a new capability — that belongs in its own phase.
+I'll note it as a deferred idea.
+
+Back to {current area}: {return to current question}"
+```
+
+Track deferred ideas internally for inclusion in CONTEXT.md.
+
+---
+
+### Sub-step 5: Write CONTEXT.md
+
+After all areas are resolved (or infrastructure skip), write the CONTEXT.md file.
+
+**File path:** `${phase_dir}/${padded_phase}-CONTEXT.md`
+
+Use **exactly** this structure (identical to discuss-phase output):
+
+```markdown
+# Phase {PHASE_NUM}: {Phase Name} - Context
+
+**Gathered:** {date}
+**Status:** Ready for planning
+
+<domain>
