42
- | `STACK.md` | Technology decisions for the project |
43
- | `FEATURES.md` | What to build in each phase |
44

-
101
- ## Tool Priority
102
-
103
- 1. **Context7** (highest) — Library APIs, features, versions. Resolve IDs first (`mcp__context7__resolve-library-id`), then query (`mcp__context7__query-docs`). Trust over training data.
104
- 2. **WebFetch** — Official docs/READMEs not in Context7, changelogs, release notes. Use exact URLs, check dates, prefer /docs/ over marketing.
105
- 3. **WebSearch** — Ecosystem discovery, community patterns. Include current year in queries. Mark unverified findings as LOW confidence.
106
- 4. **Training data** (lowest) — Flag as LOW confidence. Verify before asserting.
107
-
108
- ### Enhanced Web Search (Brave API)
109
-
110
- If `brave_search: true` in orchestrator context:
111
- ```bash
112
- node ~/.claude/maxsim/bin/maxsim-tools.cjs websearch "your query" --limit 10
113
- ```
114
- Options: `--limit N`, `--freshness day|week|month`. If `brave_search: false` or not set, use built-in WebSearch.
115
-
116
- ## Confidence Levels
117
-
118
- | Level | Sources | Use |
119
- |-------|---------|-----|
120
- | HIGH | Context7, official docs, official releases | State as fact |
121
- | MEDIUM | WebSearch verified with official source, multiple credible sources | State with attribution |
122
- | LOW | WebSearch only, single source, unverified | Flag as needing validation |
123
-
124
- **Verification:** For each finding — verify with Context7? HIGH. Verify with official docs? MEDIUM. Multiple sources agree? Increase one level. Otherwise LOW, flag for validation.

-
130
- ## Research Pitfalls
131
-
132
- - **Configuration Scope Blindness:** Don't assume global config = no project-scoping. Verify ALL scopes.
133
- - **Deprecated Features:** Old docs don't mean feature is gone. Check current docs + changelog.
134
- - **Negative Claims Without Evidence:** "Didn't find" != "doesn't exist." Verify with official docs.
135
- - **Single Source Reliance:** Cross-reference critical claims with at least 2 sources.
136
-
137
- ## Pre-Submission Checklist

182
- #### 2. Decision Rationale
183
-
184
- For your primary recommendation: explain WHY this over alternatives, and when to reconsider:
185
-
186
- ```markdown
187
- ## Decision Rationale
188
-
189
- **Recommendation:** [X] over [Y]
190
- **Why:** [Specific technical reasoning tied to this project's constraints]
191
- **When to reconsider:** [Conditions that would change this recommendation]
192
- ```
193
-
194
- #### 3. Code Examples
195
-
196
- Concrete, copy-pasteable snippets for recommended technologies:
197
-
198
- ```markdown
199
- ## Code Examples
200
-
201
- ### [Technology] Setup
202
- [Import statements, config snippets, middleware/pattern examples]
203
- ```
204
-
205
- Include: import statements, basic configuration, one usage pattern per recommended technology. These help downstream agents write correct code from day one.
206
-
207
- #### 4. Integration Warnings
208
-
209
- Cross-cutting concerns between recommended technologies:
210
-
211
- ```markdown
212
- ## Integration Warnings
213
-
214
- - **[Tech A] + [Tech B]:** [What to watch out for, version compatibility, known conflicts]
215
- - **[Tech C] + [Tech D]:** [Configuration gotchas, ordering requirements]
216
- ```
217
-
218
- Flag any combination that requires special attention. "If X + Y, watch out for Z" format.
219
-
220
- #### 5. Effort Estimates
221
-
222
- T-shirt size complexity estimate per recommendation:
223
-
224
- ```markdown
225
- ## Effort Estimates
226
-
227
- | Recommendation | Effort | Notes |
228
- |---------------|--------|-------|
229
- | [Tech/Pattern A] | S | Drop-in, well-documented |
230
- | [Tech/Pattern B] | M | Requires config + testing |
231
- | [Tech/Pattern C] | L | Migration path needed |
232
- | [Tech/Pattern D] | XL | Significant architecture work |
233
- ```
234
-
235
- Sizes: S = hours, M = days, L = week, XL = weeks. Be honest about complexity.

- **MUST verify version numbers and library status via web search.** Use Context7, WebSearch, or WebFetch to confirm:
242
-
243
- - Current stable versions of recommended libraries
244
- - Whether recommended libraries are actively maintained (last release date, open issues)
245
- - Known breaking changes in recent versions
246
- - Deprecation notices or migration paths
247
-
248
- Assign confidence levels to every factual claim:
249
-
250
- | Level | Meaning | When to Use |
251
- |-------|---------|-------------|
252
- | **HIGH** | Verified via web (Context7/official docs) | Version numbers, API signatures, feature availability confirmed online |
253
- | **MEDIUM** | Known from training data, unverified via web | Well-known facts that could not be live-verified (e.g., tool unavailable) |
254
- | **LOW** | Uncertain or single unverified source | Anything you are not confident about -- flag prominently |
255
-
256
- Mark each technology recommendation with its confidence level. Flag anything unverifiable with `[CONFIDENCE: LOW - unverified]`.

95

96
- <execution_flow>
97
-
98
- ## Step 1: Read Research Files
99
-
100
- Read all 4 files from `.planning/research/` and extract:
101
- - **STACK.md:** Recommended technologies, versions, rationale
102
- - **FEATURES.md:** Table stakes, differentiators, anti-features
103
- - **ARCHITECTURE.md:** Patterns, component boundaries, data flow
104
- - **PITFALLS.md:** Critical/moderate/minor pitfalls, phase warnings
105
-
106
- ## Step 2: Synthesize Findings
107
-
108
- - **Executive Summary** (2-3 paragraphs): What type of product? Recommended approach? Key risks? Someone reading only this should understand conclusions.
109
- - **Key Findings**: Core technologies + rationale (STACK), must-have/should-have/defer features (FEATURES), components + patterns (ARCHITECTURE), top 3-5 pitfalls (PITFALLS).
110
-
111
- ## Step 3: Derive Roadmap Implications
112
-
113
- **Most important section.** For each suggested phase: rationale, what it delivers, which features, which pitfalls to avoid. Add research flags (which phases need `/maxsim:research-phase`, which have well-documented patterns).
114
-
115
- ## Step 4: Assess Confidence
116
-
117
- Per area (Stack/Features/Architecture/Pitfalls): assign confidence level based on source quality. Identify gaps needing attention during planning.
118
-
119
- ## Step 5: Produce Locked Decisions
120
-
121
- Extract the most impactful decisions from research into a **Locked Decisions** table. These flow to the planner as hard constraints.
122
-
123
- ### Locked Decisions Format
124
-
125
- ```markdown
126
- ## Locked Decisions
127
-
128
- These decisions have been validated by research and approved by the user. They flow to the planner as constraints.
129
-
130
- | # | Decision | Rationale | Alternatives Rejected | Effort |
131
- |---|----------|-----------|----------------------|--------|
132
- | 1 | [e.g., Use PostgreSQL] | [Why this over alternatives] | [e.g., MongoDB (schema flexibility not needed)] | M |
133
- | 2 | [e.g., Use NextAuth] | [Why this over alternatives] | [e.g., Clerk (SaaS dependency)] | S |
134
- ```
135
-
136
- ### Rules for Locked Decisions
137
-
138
- - **Cross-reference PROJECT.md:** Read `.planning/PROJECT.md` Key Decisions section. Do NOT lock decisions that contradict what the user already decided during questioning. User decisions from questioning take precedence over research recommendations.
139
- - **Limit scope:** Only lock decisions that are architecturally significant (framework, database, auth, hosting, major patterns). Do NOT lock utility library choices.
140
- - **Include effort:** Every locked decision must have a T-shirt size effort estimate (S/M/L/XL).
141
- - **Rationale required:** Every locked decision must explain WHY, not just WHAT.
142
-
143
- ## Step 5b: Approval Gate
144
-
145
- After producing locked decisions, the workflow MUST present them to the user before proceeding:
146
-
147
- **Approval gate instruction:** Present the Locked Decisions table to the user with the message: "These are the technology decisions from research. You can approve all, override specific decisions, or request changes." The user must explicitly approve before locked decisions flow to the planner. User can override any decision.
148
-
149
- Do NOT proceed to roadmap creation until the user has approved locked decisions.
150
-
151
- ## Step 5c: Enrich PROJECT.md with Tech Stack Decisions
152
-
153
- After user approval, add a **Tech Stack Decisions** section to `.planning/PROJECT.md` containing the approved locked decisions. This makes PROJECT.md self-contained for downstream agents.
154
-
155
- ```markdown
156
- ## Tech Stack Decisions
157
-
158
- > Locked during research phase. Approved by user on {{date}}.
159
-
160
- | Category | Decision | Rationale |
161
- |----------|----------|-----------|
162
- | Database | PostgreSQL | Relational queries dominate; strong ecosystem |
163
- | Auth | NextAuth | Self-hosted, no vendor lock-in |
164
- | ... | ... | ... |
165
- ```
166
-
167
- Cross-reference: These decisions appear in both PROJECT.md (for quick agent reference) and `.planning/research/SUMMARY.md` (with full rationale and alternatives).
168
-
169
- ## Step 6: Write SUMMARY.md
170
-
171
- Use template: `~/.claude/maxsim/templates/research-project/SUMMARY.md`
172
- Write to `.planning/research/SUMMARY.md`
173
-
174
- Include the Locked Decisions table in SUMMARY.md as a dedicated section.
175
-
176
- ## Step 7: Commit All Research
177
-
178
- ```bash
179
- node ~/.claude/maxsim/bin/maxsim-tools.cjs commit "docs: complete project research" --files .planning/research/
180
- ```
