+<purpose>
+Create executable phase prompts (PLAN.md files) for a roadmap phase with integrated research and verification. Default flow: Research (if needed) -> Plan -> Verify -> Done. Orchestrates gsd-phase-researcher, gsd-planner, and gsd-plan-checker agents with a revision loop (max 3 iterations).
+</purpose>
+
+<required_reading>
+Read all files referenced by the invoking prompt's execution_context before starting.

+@~/.claude/get-shit-done/references/ui-brand.md
+</required_reading>
+
+<process>
+
+## 1. Initialize
+
+Load all context in one call (paths only to minimize orchestrator context):
+
+```bash
+INIT=$(node "$HOME/.claude/ez-agents/bin/ez-tools.cjs" init plan-phase "$PHASE")
+if [[ "$INIT" == @file:* ]]; then INIT=$(cat "${INIT#@file:}"); fi
+```
+
+Parse JSON for: `researcher_model`, `planner_model`, `checker_model`, `research_enabled`, `plan_checker_enabled`, `nyquist_validation_enabled`, `commit_docs`, `phase_found`, `phase_dir`, `phase_number`, `phase_name`, `phase_slug`, `padded_phase`, `has_research`, `has_context`, `has_plans`, `plan_count`, `planning_exists`, `roadmap_exists`, `phase_req_ids`.
+
+**File paths (for <files_to_read> blocks):** `state_path`, `roadmap_path`, `requirements_path`, `context_path`, `research_path`, `verification_path`, `uat_path`. These are null if files don't exist.
+
+**If `planning_exists` is false:** Error — run `/ez:new-project` first.
+
+## 2. Parse and Normalize Arguments
+
+Extract from $ARGUMENTS: phase number (integer or decimal like `2.1`), flags (`--research`, `--skip-research`, `--gaps`, `--skip-verify`, `--prd <filepath>`).
+
+Extract `--prd <filepath>` from $ARGUMENTS. If present, set PRD_FILE to the filepath.
+
+**If no phase number:** Detect next unplanned phase from roadmap.
+
+**If `phase_found` is false:** Validate phase exists in ROADMAP.md. If valid, create the directory using `phase_slug` and `padded_phase` from init:
+```bash
+mkdir -p ".planning/phases/${padded_phase}-${phase_slug}"
+```
+
+**Existing artifacts from init:** `has_research`, `has_plans`, `plan_count`.
+
+## 3. Validate Phase
+
+```bash
+PHASE_INFO=$(node "$HOME/.claude/ez-agents/bin/ez-tools.cjs" roadmap get-phase "${PHASE}")
+```
+
+**If `found` is false:** Error with available phases. **If `found` is true:** Extract `phase_number`, `phase_name`, `goal` from JSON.
+
+## 3.5. Handle PRD Express Path
+
+**Skip if:** No `--prd` flag in arguments.
+
+**If `--prd <filepath>` provided:**
+
+1. Read the PRD file:
+```bash
+PRD_CONTENT=$(cat "$PRD_FILE" 2>/dev/null)
+if [ -z "$PRD_CONTENT" ]; then
+  echo "Error: PRD file not found: $PRD_FILE"
+  exit 1
+fi

+Generating CONTEXT.md from requirements...
+```
+
+3. Parse the PRD content and generate CONTEXT.md. The orchestrator should:
+   - Extract all requirements, user stories, acceptance criteria, and constraints from the PRD
+   - Map each to a locked decision (everything in the PRD is treated as a locked decision)
+   - Identify any areas the PRD doesn't cover and mark as "Claude's Discretion"
+   - **Extract canonical refs** from ROADMAP.md for this phase, plus any specs/ADRs referenced in the PRD — expand to full file paths (MANDATORY)
+   - Create CONTEXT.md in the phase directory
+
+4. Write CONTEXT.md:
+```markdown
+# Phase [X]: [Name] - Context
+
+**Gathered:** [date]
+**Status:** Ready for planning
+**Source:** PRD Express Path ({PRD_FILE})
+
+<domain>

+5. Commit:
+```bash
+node "$HOME/.claude/ez-agents/bin/ez-tools.cjs" commit "docs(${padded_phase}): generate context from PRD" --files "${phase_dir}/${padded_phase}-CONTEXT.md"
+```
+
+6. Set `context_content` to the generated CONTEXT.md content and continue to step 5 (Handle Research).
+
+**Effect:** This completely bypasses step 4 (Load CONTEXT.md) since we just created it. The rest of the workflow (research, planning, verification) proceeds normally with the PRD-derived context.
+
+## 4. Load CONTEXT.md
+

+
+If "Continue without context": Proceed to step 5.

+
+## 5. Handle Research
+
+**Skip if:** `--gaps` flag, `--skip-research` flag, or `research_enabled` is false (from init) without `--research` override.
+
+**If `has_research` is true (from init) AND no `--research` flag:** Use existing, skip to step 6.

+
+> Skip if `workflow.ui_phase` is explicitly `false` AND `workflow.ui_safety_gate` is explicitly `false` in `.planning/config.json`. If keys are absent, treat as enabled.
+
+```bash

+```
+
+**If UI-SPEC.md found:** Set `UI_SPEC_PATH=$UI_SPEC_FILE`. Display: `Using UI design contract: ${UI_SPEC_PATH}`
+
+**If UI-SPEC.md missing AND `UI_GATE_CFG` is `true`:**
+
+Use AskUserQuestion:
+- header: "UI Design Contract"
+- question: "Phase {N} has frontend indicators but no UI-SPEC.md. Generate a design contract before planning?"
+- options:
+  - "Generate UI-SPEC first" → Display: "Run `/ez:ui-phase {N}` then re-run `/ez:plan-phase {N}`". Exit workflow.
+  - "Continue without UI-SPEC" → Continue to step 6.
+  - "Not a frontend phase" → Continue to step 6.
+
+**If `HAS_UI` is 1 (no frontend indicators):** Skip silently to step 6.
+
+## 6. Check Existing Plans
+
+```bash
+ls "${PHASE_DIR}"/*-PLAN.md 2>/dev/null
+```
+
+**If exists:** Offer: 1) Add more plans, 2) View existing, 3) Replan from scratch.
+
+## 7. Use Context Paths from INIT
+
+Extract from INIT JSON:
+
+```bash
+STATE_PATH=$(printf '%s\n' "$INIT" | jq -r '.state_path // empty')
+ROADMAP_PATH=$(printf '%s\n' "$INIT" | jq -r '.roadmap_path // empty')

+
+## 7.5. Verify Nyquist Artifacts

+Skip if `nyquist_validation_enabled` is false OR `research_enabled` is false.
+
+```bash
+VALIDATION_EXISTS=$(ls "${PHASE_DIR}"/*-VALIDATION.md 2>/dev/null | head -1)
+```
+
+If missing and Nyquist enabled — ask user:
+1. Re-run with research: `/ez:plan-phase {PHASE} --research`
+2. Disable Nyquist: `node "$HOME/.claude/ez-agents/bin/ez-tools.cjs" config-set workflow.nyquist_validation false`
+3. Continue anyway (plans fail Dimension 8)
+
+Proceed to Step 8 only if user selects 2 or 3.

+Output consumed by /ez:execute-phase. Plans need:
+- Frontmatter (wave, depends_on, files_modified, autonomous)
+- Tasks in XML format with read_first and acceptance_criteria fields (MANDATORY on every task)
+- Verification criteria
+- must_haves for goal-backward verification
+</downstream_consumer>
+
+<deep_work_rules>
+## Anti-Shallow Execution Rules (MANDATORY)
+
+Every task MUST include these fields — they are NOT optional:
+
+1. **`<read_first>`** — Files the executor MUST read before touching anything. Always include:
+   - The file being modified (so executor sees current state, not assumptions)
+   - Any "source of truth" file referenced in CONTEXT.md (reference implementations, existing patterns, config files, schemas)
+   - Any file whose patterns, signatures, types, or conventions must be replicated or respected
+
+2. **`<acceptance_criteria>`** — Verifiable conditions that prove the task was done correctly. Rules:
+   - Every criterion must be checkable with grep, file read, test command, or CLI output
+   - NEVER use subjective language ("looks correct", "properly configured", "consistent with")
+   - ALWAYS include exact strings, patterns, values, or command outputs that must be present
+   - Examples:
+     - Code: `auth.py contains def verify_token(` / `test_auth.py exits 0`
+     - Config: `.env.example contains DATABASE_URL=` / `Dockerfile contains HEALTHCHECK`
+     - Docs: `README.md contains '## Installation'` / `API.md lists all endpoints`
+     - Infra: `deploy.yml has rollback step` / `docker-compose.yml has healthcheck for db`
+
+3. **`<action>`** — Must include CONCRETE values, not references. Rules:
+   - NEVER say "align X with Y", "match X to Y", "update to be consistent" without specifying the exact target state
+   - ALWAYS include the actual values: config keys, function signatures, SQL statements, class names, import paths, env vars, etc.
+   - If CONTEXT.md has a comparison table or expected values, copy them into the action verbatim
+   - The executor should be able to complete the task from the action text alone, without needing to read CONTEXT.md or reference files (read_first is for verification, not discovery)
+
+**Why this matters:** Executor agents work from the plan text. Vague instructions like "update the config to match production" produce shallow one-line changes. Concrete instructions like "add DATABASE_URL=postgresql://... , set POOL_SIZE=20, add REDIS_URL=redis://..." produce complete work. The cost of verbose plans is far less than the cost of re-doing shallow execution.
