Discover

Analyzes the ecosystem, codebase, and dependencies before design begins.

What Happens

1. The konductor-researcher agent receives the phase goal, success criteria, and relevant requirements
2. It analyzes the codebase, maps dependencies, and identifies patterns and conventions
3. If a context.md exists from a prior /k-discuss session, user decisions are included
4. Outputs a research document that feeds into the design step

Output

File	Description
.konductor/phases/{phase}/research.md	Ecosystem analysis, patterns, dependencies, and recommendations

Configuration

Discover runs automatically as part of the design pipeline when enabled:

[features]
research = true  # default

Set features.research = false in config.toml to skip discovery and go straight to design.

Usage

Discover is triggered automatically by /k-design or /k-next. It is not a standalone command.
