Rpi

Stage 1: Research

Invoke the research skill:

Use Skill tool with:
- skill: "research"
- args: "<problem description>"

After research completes:

1. Update work document status to "Planning"
2. Present research summary to user
3. Ask for approval to proceed:

AskUserQuestion:
- question: "Research complete. Ready to proceed to planning?"
- options:
  - "Yes, proceed to planning"
  - "Need more research" (describe what)
  - "Stop here for now"

Stage 2: Plan

After research approval, invoke the plan skill:

Use Skill tool with:
- skill: "plan"
- args: "<requirements summary from research>"

After planning completes:

1. Update work document status to "Implementation"
2. Present plan summary to user
3. Ask for approval to proceed:

AskUserQuestion:
- question: "Plan complete. Ready to proceed to implementation?"
- options:
  - "Yes, start implementing"
  - "Modify the plan" (describe changes)
  - "Stop here for now"

Stage 3: Implement

After plan approval, invoke the implement skill:

Use Skill tool with:
- skill: "implement"

After implementation completes:

1. Update work document status to "Complete"
2. Present implementation summary
3. Show files modified and next steps

Error Handling

If research needs more input:

• Ask clarifying questions
• Continue research after answers

If plan needs adjustment:

• Modify tasks as requested
• Re-present for approval

If implementation hits blockers:

• Report blocker to user
• Ask how to proceed
• Update tasks accordingly

Stage Transitions

Each stage transition requires explicit user approval:

Research ──[approval]──> Plan ──[approval]──> Implement ──> Complete
    │                      │                      │
    └── [need more] ───────┴── [modify] ──────────┘

Users can:

• Continue to next stage
• Request more work in current stage
• Stop and resume later

Guidelines

• Always create/update work document first
• Get explicit approval before stage transitions
• Keep user informed of progress
• Document everything in the work document
• Handle interruptions gracefully (user can /rpi again to continue)

Resuming Work

If /rpi is called with a ticketID that has an existing work document:

1. Find the most recent work document for that ticketID
2. Check its status
3. Ask user if they want to continue or start fresh

AskUserQuestion:
- question: "Found existing work for <ticketID> at status: <status>. Continue or start fresh?"
- options:
  - "Continue from <status>"
  - "Start fresh"
