Claude Code subagents sometimes rewrite ~/. paths to relative paths,
causing MODULE_NOT_FOUND when CWD is the project directory. $HOME is a
shell variable resolved at runtime, immune to model path rewriting.

* fix: use `.claude/skills/` instead of `.agents/skills/` in agent and workflow skill references
Claude Code resolves project skills from `.claude/skills/` (project-level)
and `~/.claude/skills/` (user-level). The `.agents/skills/` path is the
universal/IDE-agnostic convention that Claude Code does not resolve, causing
project skills to be silently ignored by all affected agents and workflows.
Fixes#758

* fix: support both `.claude/skills/` and `.agents/skills/` for cross-IDE compatibility
Instead of replacing `.agents/skills/` with `.claude/skills/`, reference both
paths so GSD works with Claude Code (`.claude/skills/`) and other IDE agents
like OpenCode (`.agents/skills/`).
Addresses review feedback from begna112 on #758.

Reduces token overhead of Dimension 8 and related agent additions by ~37%
with no behavioral change. Removes theory explanation, dead XML tags
(<manual>, <sampling_rate>), aspirational execution tracking, and
documentation-density prose from runtime agent bodies.

Adds automated feedback architecture research to gsd-phase-researcher,
enforces it as Dimension 8 in gsd-plan-checker, and introduces
{phase}-VALIDATION.md as the per-phase validation contract.
Ensures every phase plan includes automated verify commands before
execution begins. Opt-out via workflow.nyquist_validation: false.
Closes#122 (partial), related #117

Subagents now read project-level CLAUDE.md if it exists:
- Workflows: execute-phase, plan-phase, quick
- Agents: gsd-executor, gsd-planner, gsd-phase-researcher, gsd-plan-checker
Agents read ./CLAUDE.md in their fresh context, following project-specific
guidelines, security requirements, and coding conventions.
Fixes: #671

Tighten all requirements references to use MUST/REQUIRED/CRITICAL language
instead of passive suggestions. Close the verification loop by extracting
phase requirement IDs from ROADMAP and passing them through the full chain:
researcher receives IDs → planner writes to PLAN frontmatter → executor
copies to SUMMARY → verifier cross-references against REQUIREMENTS.md with
orphan detection.

Projects with "type": "module" in package.json cause Node to treat
gsd-tools.js as ESM, crashing on require(). The .cjs extension forces
CommonJS regardless of the host project's module configuration.

The verifier agent interpreted {phase} as the full directory slug
(e.g., 01-foundation-target-system) instead of just the padded phase
number (01), producing wrong filenames like
01-foundation-target-system-VERIFICATION.md.
Changed all {phase}-*.md references to {phase_num}-*.md to match the
convention used in gsd-tools.js (${padded}-VERIFICATION.md).
Files: VERIFICATION.md, RESEARCH.md, CONTEXT.md, UAT.md patterns.

- Add `websearch` command to gsd-tools.js for Brave API
- Detect BRAVE_API_KEY env var or ~/.gsd/brave_api_key file
- Persist brave_search setting to config.json on project init
- Update researcher agents to check config before calling
Graceful degradation: if brave_search is false, agents use
built-in WebSearch without wasted Bash calls.

Reverts af7a057 "feat: add GSD Memory cross-project knowledge system"
The memory system needs more work before shipping:
- Workflow integration is incomplete (writes but doesn't query)
- UX requires too much manual intervention
- Setup friction exceeds value for most users
Preserved on branch `memory-wip` for continued development.

Implements MCP server for semantic search across GSD projects:
MCP Tools:
- gsd_memory_search: Search across all registered projects
- gsd_memory_decisions: Find decisions from SUMMARY/PROJECT.md
- gsd_memory_patterns: Find patterns from SUMMARY.md
- gsd_memory_pitfalls: Find pitfalls from RESEARCH.md
- gsd_memory_stack: Find tech stack entries
- gsd_memory_register: Register project with memory
- gsd_memory_index: Trigger indexing/update
- gsd_memory_status: Show system status
Architecture:
- QMD wrapper with grep fallback when QMD unavailable
- YAML frontmatter extractors for GSD document types
- Project registry at ~/.gsd/projects.json
- Auto-install via bin/install.js for Claude Code
Workflow integrations:
- new-project: Registers project with memory
- plan-phase: Indexes after planning
- execute-phase: Indexes after execution
- complete-milestone: Indexes milestone completion
- Researcher agents query memory before Context7
Tests: 117 passing (66 unit + 51 integration)

Fixes#343
The agent was misinterpreting commit_docs=false as 'skip file write'
when it should only skip git commit operations.
Changes:
- Explicitly state Write tool is mandatory in Step 5
- Clarify commit_docs only affects git operations, not file writes
- Rename Step 6 to indicate it's optional
- Make the file-write-then-commit order explicit
* prompt(001): map dependencies for new-project command
* fix(#326): enforce context fidelity in planning pipeline
Root cause: User decisions from CONTEXT.md were available but not
enforced throughout the RESEARCH → PLAN → VERIFY chain.
Changes:
- gsd-planner: Add <context_fidelity> section requiring agents to
parse and honor user decisions BEFORE creating tasks. Includes
self-check checklist and conflict handling guidance.
- gsd-phase-researcher: Add User Constraints as FIRST section in
downstream consumer table. Require researcher to copy CONTEXT.md
decisions verbatim to RESEARCH.md so planner sees them even if
it only skims.
- research.md template: Add <user_constraints> section that must
be populated first. Locked decisions, Claude's discretion, and
deferred ideas copied verbatim from CONTEXT.md.
The command file (commands/gsd/plan-phase.md) already passes
CONTEXT_CONTENT to all agents. These changes add the enforcement
layer in the agent instructions.

* feat: add uncommitted planning mode
Add config option to keep planning docs local-only (not committed to git).
Useful for OSS contributions, client projects, or keeping planning private.
Config options in .planning/config.json:
- planning.commit_docs: true/false (default: true)
- planning.search_gitignored: true/false (default: false)
When commit_docs=false:
- All git operations for .planning/ files are skipped
- User should add .planning/ to .gitignore
- Planning system works normally, just not tracked
Updated files:
- config.json template: added planning section
- execute-plan.md: conditional git commits
- execute-phase.md: conditional git commits
- create-roadmap.md: conditional git commits
- help.md: documented new config options
- planning-config.md: reference doc for config behavior

* feat: extend commit_docs check to all agents/commands/workflows
Add COMMIT_PLANNING_DOCS config check to all files that commit
.planning/ artifacts, ensuring consistent behavior when
commit_docs=false is set in config.json.
Updated:
- 5 agents (planner, executor, debugger, phase-researcher, synthesizer)
- 8 commands (add-todo, check-todos, execute-phase, new-milestone,
pause-work, plan-milestone-gaps, remove-phase, research-project)
- 7 workflows (complete-milestone, create-milestone, define-requirements,
diagnose-issues, discuss-phase, map-codebase, verify-work)

* fix(progress): use Bash instead of Glob for .planning/ check
Glob respects .gitignore, so projects with gitignored .planning/
directories would fail with "No planning structure found."

* fix(new-milestone): integrate full research/requirements/roadmap flow
Previously routed to non-existent /gsd:research-project and
/gsd:define-requirements commands. Now handles the full flow inline
like new-project does:
- Phase 7: Research Decision (spawns 4 milestone-aware researchers)
- Phase 8: Define Requirements (scopes features, creates REQUIREMENTS.md)
- Phase 9: Create Roadmap (continues phase numbering from previous milestone)
- Phase 10: Done
Key adaptations for milestones:
- Research focuses on NEW features only
- Requirements add to existing, don't start fresh
- Phase numbering continues from previous milestone

Researcher agents were using literal "2025" in query template examples,
causing Claude to copy them verbatim instead of using the actual current
year. Changed to [current year] placeholder with explicit instruction to
check today's date.

Researcher now reads and respects user decisions from discuss-phase:

Split gsd-researcher into two specialized agents:
- gsd-phase-researcher: tailored for phase research before planning
- gsd-project-researcher: tailored for ecosystem research before roadmap
Updated /gsd:plan-phase to auto-research before planning:
- Research runs if no RESEARCH.md exists (silent use if exists)
- --research flag forces re-research
- --skip-research flag bypasses research entirely
- Researchers commit their output
This enables single-command workflow: /gsd:plan-phase does
research → plan → verify in one orchestrated flow.
