MANDATORY FORCED MODE - READ FIRST

This skill is a thin alias. It ALWAYS runs canonical plan-workflow with --research-only --no-checkpoint (stop after shared.md + validation, print summary, no interactive checkpoint), regardless of $ARGUMENTS.

Flag policy (unambiguous):

• Supported: the feature name, --team, --dry-run.
• Redundant — silently ignored because already forced: --research-only, --no-checkpoint.
• Every other flag (including --plan-only, --no-worktree, --worktree, --visual, --optimized, and any unknown -/-- token) → abort with the usage error below. Do not read the canonical skill or write anything.

SCOPE LIMITATION - READ FIRST

THIS SKILL ONLY CREATES RESEARCH CONTEXT FILES. IT NEVER PLANS OR IMPLEMENTS.

• DO NOT run the parallel-plan skill
• DO NOT run the implement-plan skill
• DO NOT execute implementation tasks
• DO NOT modify application source files

Outputs:

• ${PLANS_DIR}/[feature-name]/research-architecture.md
• ${PLANS_DIR}/[feature-name]/research-patterns.md
• ${PLANS_DIR}/[feature-name]/research-integration.md
• ${PLANS_DIR}/[feature-name]/research-docs.md
• ${PLANS_DIR}/[feature-name]/shared.md

After creating the shared context files and displaying the summary, STOP COMPLETELY.

Shared Context (alias)

Arguments

Target: $ARGUMENTS

• --team: Optional. (Claude Code only) Deploy researchers as teammates. Default is standalone parallel sub-agents via the Agent tool. Cursor and Codex bundles lack team tools — do not pass --team there.
• --dry-run: Show orchestration plan without creating files. Writes nothing.
• feature-name: Required. Directory name under ${PLANS_DIR} (kebab-case).

If any unsupported flag is present (see Flag policy above), abort with a usage error and STOP:

Usage: /shared-context [--team] [feature-name] [--dry-run]
This alias always runs plan-workflow --research-only --no-checkpoint.
Unsupported flag: <flag>

If no feature name provided, abort with the same usage plus examples:

/shared-context user-authentication
/shared-context payment-integration --dry-run
/shared-context --team payment-integration

Execution

Build the effective $ARGUMENTS for canonical plan-workflow:

<feature-name> --research-only --no-checkpoint [--team] [--dry-run]

(--team / --dry-run only if the user passed them; user-supplied redundant --research-only / --no-checkpoint are dropped, not duplicated.)

1. Read ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/plan-workflow/SKILL.md.
2. Execute as orchestrator with the effective $ARGUMENTS above substituted for $ARGUMENTS, so the canonical parser itself sets RESEARCH_ONLY=true and NO_CHECKPOINT=true (those variables are explanatory only — never invocation syntax).
3. On completion print the research summary and STOP. Never plan or implement.
