3 of 9 scanners reported clean
Some scanners were skipped, did not run, or reported a non-clean status. Review each row below.
Note:
/researchis now Phase 2 of/plan.The research phase has been absorbed into the
/plancommand, which runs a full 3-phase workflow:
- Phase 1: Brainstorming — design intent, constraints, success criteria
- Phase 2: Technical research — web search, OWASP, codebase exploration, TDD scenarios
- Phase 3: Setup — branch, worktree, Beads issue, task list
Run
/plan <feature-slug>to start the complete planning workflow.
This command previously ran a standalone research phase. It is now embedded in /plan as Phase 2.
Jump to Phase 2 of /plan manually:
docs/plans/YYYY-MM-DD-<slug>-design.mdparallel-deep-research skill## Technical Research in the design docThen continue with /plan <slug> --continue to run Phase 3 (setup + task list).
Utility: /status → Understand current context before starting
Stage 1: /plan → Design intent → research → branch + worktree + task list
Stage 2: /dev → Implement each task with subagent-driven TDD
Stage 3: /validate → Type check, lint, tests, security — all fresh output
Stage 4: /ship → Push + create PR
Stage 5: /review → Address GitHub Actions, Greptile, SonarCloud
Stage 6: /premerge → Update docs, hand off PR to user
Stage 7: /verify → Post-merge CI check on main
development
Pull issues, metrics, quality gates, and analysis data from SonarCloud. ALWAYS use this skill when the user mentions SonarCloud, asks about code quality metrics, wants to check PR quality gates, or needs to review security vulnerabilities and technical debt from static analysis. Also trigger during /review workflow when SonarCloud issues need addressing. Trigger on phrases like "SonarCloud", "quality gate", "code quality metrics", "technical debt", "coverage report", "static analysis issues", "security vulnerabilities from scan".
tools
Produces comprehensive research reports that go far beyond what built-in web search can achieve. Sends research tasks to Parallel AI's pro/ultra processors which spend 3-25 minutes autonomously crawling, reading, and synthesizing dozens of sources — returning structured reports with citations. Built-in WebSearch can only run a few queries; this skill runs an entire research pipeline externally. No binary install — requires PARALLEL_API_KEY in .env.local. ALWAYS use this skill instead of doing multiple WebSearch calls when the user needs a comprehensive report, market analysis, competitive landscape, industry deep-dive, strategic recommendations, or multi-source synthesis. This is the RIGHT tool for any research task that would require more than 3-4 web searches to answer properly. Also trigger during /plan Phase 2 research and /research workflows.
