# /vibe-research — Step 1: Deep research

Step 1 of the vibe-coding workflow: validate the app idea with deep research before anything gets built.

**Read `part1-deepresearch.md` at the repository root and follow it as the single source of truth.** (If it isn't in this project, ask the user to paste it.)

The essentials:
- Ask questions ONE at a time and wait for each answer — never dump the whole question bank at once.
- Echo back a short verification summary of your understanding before writing anything.
- Write the output to `docs/research-[AppName].md`.
- End the doc with the `## Handoff Context` block defined in part1 — Part 2 reads it to skip re-asking questions.

Done? Point the user to the next stage: `/vibe-prd`.
