…sd-build#317) Add composable --research flag to /gsd:quick that spawns a focused gsd-phase-researcher before planning. Investigates implementation approaches, library options, and pitfalls for the task. Addresses the middle-ground gap between quick (no quality agents) and full milestone workflows. All three flags are composable: --discuss --research --full gives the complete quality pipeline. Made-with: Cursor

--researchflag completes the composable flag set, giving users the full quality pipeline for single tasks without milestone overhead:--discuss --research --full.How it works
