Analyze a phase and present Claude's assumptions about technical approach, implementation order, scope boundaries, risk areas, and dependencies.

Purpose: Help users see what Claude thinks BEFORE planning begins - enabling course correction early when assumptions are wrong.
Output: Conversational output only (no file creation) - ends with "What do you think?" prompt

1. Validate phase number argument (error if missing or invalid) 2. Check if phase exists in roadmap 3. Follow phase-assumptions.md workflow: - Analyze roadmap description - Surface assumptions about: technical approach, implementation order, scope, risks, dependencies - Present assumptions clearly - Prompt "What do you think?" 4. Gather feedback and offer next steps
  • Phase validated against roadmap
  • Assumptions surfaced across five areas
  • User prompted for feedback
  • User knows next steps (discuss context, plan phase, or correct assumptions)</success_criteria>
