+# Vector Command Reference
+
+**Vector** (Vector) creates hierarchical project plans optimized for solo agentic development with Claude Code.
+
+## Quick Start
+
+1. `/vector:new-project` - Initialize project (includes research, requirements, roadmap)
+2. `/vector:plan-phase 1` - Create detailed plan for first phase
+3. `/vector:execute-phase 1` - Execute the phase
+
+## Staying Updated
+
+Vector evolves fast. Update periodically:
+
+```bash
+npx vector@latest
+```
+
+## Core Workflow
+
+```
+/vector:new-project → /vector:plan-phase → /vector:execute-phase → repeat
+```
+
+### Project Initialization
+
+**`/vector:new-project`**
+Initialize new project through unified flow.
+
+One command takes you from idea to ready-for-planning:
+- Deep questioning to understand what you're building
+- Optional domain research (spawns 4 parallel researcher agents)
+- Requirements definition with v1/v2/out-of-scope scoping
+- Roadmap creation with phase breakdown and success criteria
+
+Creates all `.planning/` artifacts:
+- `PROJECT.md` — vision and requirements
+- `config.json` — workflow mode (interactive/yolo)
+- `research/` — domain research (if selected)
+- `REQUIREMENTS.md` — scoped requirements with REQ-IDs
+- `ROADMAP.md` — phases mapped to requirements
+- `STATE.md` — project memory
+
+Usage: `/vector:new-project`
+
+**`/vector:map-codebase`**
+Map an existing codebase for brownfield projects.
+
+- Analyzes codebase with parallel Explore agents
+- Creates `.planning/codebase/` with 7 focused documents
+- Covers stack, architecture, structure, conventions, testing, integrations, concerns
+- Use before `/vector:new-project` on existing codebases
+
+Usage: `/vector:map-codebase`
+
+### Phase Planning
+
+**`/vector:discuss-phase <number>`**
+Help articulate your vision for a phase before planning.
+
+- Captures how you imagine this phase working
+- Creates CONTEXT.md with your vision, essentials, and boundaries
+- Use when you have ideas about how something should look/feel
+- Optional `--batch` asks 2-5 related questions at a time instead of one-by-one
+
+Usage: `/vector:discuss-phase 2`
+Usage: `/vector:discuss-phase 2 --batch`
+Usage: `/vector:discuss-phase 2 --batch=3`
+
+**`/vector:research-phase <number>`**
+Comprehensive ecosystem research for niche/complex domains.
+
+- Discovers standard stack, architecture patterns, pitfalls
+- Creates RESEARCH.md with "how experts build this" knowledge
+- Use for 3D, games, audio, shaders, ML, and other specialized domains
+- Goes beyond "which library" to ecosystem knowledge
+
+Usage: `/vector:research-phase 3`
+
+**`/vector:list-phase-assumptions <number>`**
+See what Claude is planning to do before it starts.
+
+- Shows Claude's intended approach for a phase
+- Lets you course-correct if Claude misunderstood your vision
+- No files created - conversational output only
+
+Usage: `/vector:list-phase-assumptions 3`
+
+**`/vector:plan-phase <number>`**
+Create detailed execution plan for a specific phase.
+
+- Generates `.planning/phases/XX-phase-name/XX-YY-PLAN.md`
+- Breaks phase into concrete, actionable tasks
+- Includes verification criteria and success measures
+- Multiple plans per phase supported (XX-01, XX-02, etc.)
+
+Usage: `/vector:plan-phase 1`
+Result: Creates `.planning/phases/01-foundation/01-01-PLAN.md`
+
+**PRD Express Path:** Pass `--prd path/to/requirements.md` to skip discuss-phase entirely. Your PRD becomes locked decisions in CONTEXT.md. Useful when you already have clear acceptance criteria.
+
+### Execution
+
+**`/vector:execute-phase <phase-number>`**
+Execute all plans in a phase.
+
+- Groups plans by wave (from frontmatter), executes waves sequentially
+- Plans within each wave run in parallel via Task tool
+- Verifies phase goal after all plans complete
+- Updates REQUIREMENTS.md, ROADMAP.md, STATE.md
+
+Usage: `/vector:execute-phase 5`
+
+### Smart Router
+
+**`/vector:do <description>`**
+Route freeform text to the right Vector command automatically.
+
+- Analyzes natural language input to find the best matching Vector command
+- Acts as a dispatcher — never does the work itself
+- Resolves ambiguity by asking you to pick between top matches
+- Use when you know what you want but don't know which `/vector:*` command to run
+
+Usage: `/vector:do fix the login button`
+Usage: `/vector:do refactor the auth system`
+Usage: `/vector:do I want to start a new milestone`
+
+### Quick Mode
+
+**`/vector:quick [--full] [--discuss] [--research]`**
+Execute small, ad-hoc tasks with Vector guarantees but skip optional agents.
+
+Quick mode uses the same system with a shorter path:
+- Spawns planner + executor (skips researcher, checker, verifier by default)
+- Quick tasks live in `.planning/quick/` separate from planned phases
+- Updates STATE.md tracking (not ROADMAP.md)
+
+Flags enable additional quality steps:
+- `--discuss` — Lightweight discussion to surface gray areas before planning
+- `--research` — Focused research agent investigates approaches before planning
+- `--full` — Adds plan-checking (max 2 iterations) and post-execution verification
+
+Flags are composable: `--discuss --research --full` gives the complete quality pipeline for a single task.
+
+Usage: `/vector:quick`
+Usage: `/vector:quick --research --full`
+Result: Creates `.planning/quick/NNN-slug/PLAN.md`, `.planning/quick/NNN-slug/SUMMARY.md`
+
+### Roadmap Management
+
+**`/vector:add-phase <description>`**
+Add new phase to end of current milestone.
+
+- Appends to ROADMAP.md
+- Uses next sequential number
+- Updates phase directory structure
+
+Usage: `/vector:add-phase "Add admin dashboard"`
+
+**`/vector:insert-phase <after> <description>`**
+Insert urgent work as decimal phase between existing phases.
+
+- Creates intermediate phase (e.g., 7.1 between 7 and 8)
+- Useful for discovered work that must happen mid-milestone
+- Maintains phase ordering
+
+Usage: `/vector:insert-phase 7 "Fix critical auth bug"`
+Result: Creates Phase 7.1
+
+**`/vector:remove-phase <number>`**
+Remove a future phase and renumber subsequent phases.
+
+- Deletes phase directory and all references
+- Renumbers all subsequent phases to close the gap
+- Only works on future (unstarted) phases
+- Git commit preserves historical record
+
+Usage: `/vector:remove-phase 17`
+Result: Phase 17 deleted, phases 18-20 become 17-19
+
+### Milestone Management
+
+**`/vector:new-milestone <name>`**
+Start a new milestone through unified flow.
+
+- Deep questioning to understand what you're building next

+
+## Workflow Modes
+
+Set during `/vector:new-project`:
+
+**Interactive Mode**
+
+- Confirms each major decision
+- Pauses at checkpoints for approval
+- More guidance throughout
+
+**YOLO Mode**
+
+- Auto-approves most decisions
+- Executes plans without confirmation
+- Only stops for critical checkpoints
+
+Change anytime by editing `.planning/config.json`
+
+## Planning Configuration
+
+Configure how planning artifacts are managed in `.planning/config.json`:
+
+**`planning.commit_docs`** (default: `true`)
+- `true`: Planning artifacts committed to git (standard workflow)
+- `false`: Planning artifacts kept local-only, not committed
+
+When `commit_docs: false`:
+- Add `.planning/` to your `.gitignore`
+- Useful for OSS contributions, client projects, or keeping planning private
+- All planning files still work normally, just not tracked in git
+
+**`planning.search_gitignored`** (default: `false`)
+- `true`: Add `--no-ignore` to broad ripgrep searches
+- Only needed when `.planning/` is gitignored and you want project-wide searches to include it
+
+Example config:
+```json
+{
+  "planning": {
+    "commit_docs": false,
+    "search_gitignored": true
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Common Workflows
+
+**Starting a new project:**
+
+```
+/vector:new-project        # Unified flow: questioning → research → requirements → roadmap
+/clear
+/vector:plan-phase 1       # Create plans for first phase
+/clear
+/vector:execute-phase 1    # Execute all plans in phase
+```
+
+**Resuming work after a break:**
+
+```
+/vector:progress  # See where you left off and continue
+```
+
+**Adding urgent mid-milestone work:**
+
+```
+/vector:insert-phase 5 "Critical security fix"
+/vector:plan-phase 5.1
+/vector:execute-phase 5.1
+```
+
+**Completing a milestone:**
+
+```
+/vector:complete-milestone 1.0.0
+/clear
+/vector:new-milestone  # Start next milestone (questioning → research → requirements → roadmap)
+```
+
+**Capturing ideas during work:**
+
+```
+/vector:add-todo                    # Capture from conversation context
+/vector:add-todo Fix modal z-index  # Capture with explicit description
+/vector:check-todos                 # Review and work on todos
+/vector:check-todos api             # Filter by area
+```
+
+**Debugging an issue:**
+
+```
+/vector:debug "form submission fails silently"  # Start debug session
+# ... investigation happens, context fills up ...
+/clear
+/vector:debug                                    # Resume from where you left off
+```
+
+## Getting Help
+
+- Read `.planning/PROJECT.md` for project vision
+- Read `.planning/STATE.md` for current context
+- Check `.planning/ROADMAP.md` for phase status
+- Run `/vector:progress` to check where you're up to
