Adds `workflow.use_worktrees` config option (default: `true`) that
allows users to disable git worktree isolation for executor agents.
When set to `false`:
- Executor agents run without `isolation="worktree"`
- Plans execute sequentially on the main working tree
- No worktree merge ordering issues or orphaned worktrees
- Normal git hooks run (no --no-verify needed)
This provides an escape hatch for solo developers and users who
experience worktree merge conflicts, as worktree ordering issues
are inherently difficult when parallel agents modify overlapping
files.
Usage:
/gsd:settings → set workflow.use_worktrees to false
Or directly:
gsd-tools config-set workflow.use_worktrees false
Changes:
- config.cjs: add workflow.use_worktrees to valid keys
- planning-config.md: document the option
- execute-phase.md: read config, conditional worktree + sequential mode
- execute-plan.md: conditional worktree in Pattern A
- quick.md: conditional worktree for quick executor
- diagnose-issues.md: conditional worktree for debug agents
- 2 new tests (config set + workflow structural check)
Closes#1451

The autonomous workflow ran discuss -> plan -> execute per phase but
skipped ui-phase (design contract) and ui-review (visual audit) for
frontend phases. This adds two conditional steps that match the UI
detection logic already in plan-phase step 5.6:
- Step 3a.5: generates UI-SPEC before planning if frontend indicators
are detected and no UI-SPEC exists
- Step 3d.5: runs advisory UI review after successful execution if a
UI-SPEC is present
Both steps respect workflow.ui_phase and workflow.ui_review config
toggles and skip silently for non-frontend phases.

The repository was transferred from the glittercowboy org to gsd-build,
but several files still referenced the old org in URLs. This updates all
repository URL references across READMEs (all languages), package.json,
and the update workflow. Also removes a duplicate language selector in
the main README header.
Files intentionally unchanged:
- CHANGELOG.md (historical entries)
- CODEOWNERS, FUNDING.yml, SECURITY.md (reference @glittercowboy as a
GitHub username/handle, not a repo URL)

Add agent_skills config section that maps agent types to skill directory
paths. At spawn time, workflows load configured skills and inject them
as <agent_skills> blocks in Task() prompts, giving subagents access to
project-specific skill files.

PR #1139 added <available_agent_types> sections to execute-phase.md and
plan-phase.md to prevent /clear from causing silent fallback to
general-purpose. However, 14 other workflows and 2 commands that also
spawn named GSD agents were missed, leaving them vulnerable to the same
regression after /clear.
Added <available_agent_types> listing to: research-phase, quick,
audit-milestone, diagnose-issues, discuss-phase-assumptions,
execute-plan, map-codebase, new-milestone, new-project, ui-phase,
ui-review, validate-phase, verify-work (workflows) and debug,
research-phase (commands).
Added regression test that enforces every workflow/command spawning
named subagent_type must have a matching <available_agent_types>
section listing all spawned types.

Address 4 root causes of Windows + Claude Code reliability issues:
1. Workflow shell robustness: add || true guards to informational commands
(ls, grep, find, cat) that return non-zero on "no results", preventing
workflow step failures under strict execution models. Guard glob loops
with [ -e "$var" ] || continue to handle empty glob expansion.
2. Hook stdin handling: replace readFileSync('/dev/stdin') with async
process.stdin + timeout in agent templates (gsd-verifier.md). Existing
JS hooks already have timeout guards.
3. project_root detection: fix isInsideGitRepo() to check .git at the
candidate parent level (not just below it), enabling correct detection
when .git and .planning/ are siblings at the same directory level —
the common single-repo case from a subdirectory.
4. @file: handoff: add missing @file: handlers to autonomous.md and
manager.md workflows that call gsd-tools init but lacked the handler
for large output payloads.
Fixes#1343

Worktree agents (gsd-executor, gsd-debugger) prompt for edit permissions
on every new directory they touch, even when the user has "accept edits"
enabled. This is caused by Claude Code's directory-scoped permission
model not propagating to worktree paths.
Setting permissionMode: acceptEdits in the agent frontmatter tells Claude
Code to auto-approve file edits for these agents, bypassing the per-
directory prompts. This is safe because these agents are already granted
Write/Edit in their tools list and are spawned in isolated worktrees.
- Add permissionMode: acceptEdits to gsd-executor.md frontmatter
- Add permissionMode: acceptEdits to gsd-debugger.md frontmatter
- Add regression tests verifying worktree agents have the field
- Add test ensuring all isolation="worktree" spawns are covered

OpenCode has a `task` tool that supports spawning subagents, but
map-codebase workflow incorrectly listed it under "Runtimes WITHOUT
Task tool". This caused the agent to skip parallel mapping and fall
back to sequential mode, wasting tokens when it self-corrected.
Move OpenCode to the "with Task tool" list and clarify that either
`Task` or `task` (case-insensitive) qualifies. Add regression test.

`workflow.text_mode: true` (or `--text` flag) now applies to
plan-phase, not just discuss-phase. Fixes#1313.
Changes:
- `init plan-phase` now exposes `text_mode` from config in its JSON output
- plan-phase workflow parses `--text` flag and resolves TEXT_MODE from
init JSON or flag, whichever is set
- All four AskUserQuestion call sites (no-context gate, research prompt,
UI design contract gate, requirements coverage gap) now conditionally
present as plain-text numbered lists when TEXT_MODE is active
- `--text` added to plan-phase command argument-hint and flags docs
- Tests added for init output and workflow references

All code-writing agents (gsd-executor, gsd-debugger) were dispatched
without isolation: "worktree", causing branch pollution when agents
switched branches in the shared working tree during concurrent work.
Added isolation="worktree" to all Task() dispatch sites:
- execute-phase.md: executor agent dispatch
- execute-plan.md: Pattern A executor reference
- quick.md: quick task executor dispatch
- diagnose-issues.md: debugger agent dispatch

Enable multiple Claude Code instances to work on the same codebase
simultaneously by scoping .planning/ state into workstreams.
Core changes:
- planningDir(cwd, ws?) and planningPaths(cwd, ws?) are now workstream-aware
via GSD_WORKSTREAM env var (auto-detected from --ws flag or active-workstream file)
- All bin/lib modules use planningDir(cwd) for scoped paths (STATE.md, ROADMAP.md,
phases/, REQUIREMENTS.md) and planningRoot(cwd) for shared paths (milestones/,
PROJECT.md, config.json, codebase/)
- New workstream.cjs module: create, list, status, complete, set, get, progress
- gsd-tools.cjs: --ws flag parsing with priority chain
(--ws > GSD_WORKSTREAM env > active-workstream file > flat mode)
- Collision detection: transition.md checks for other active workstreams before
suggesting next-milestone continuation (prevents WS A from trampling WS B)
- ${GSD_WS} routing propagation across all 9 workflow files ensures workstream
scope chains automatically through the workflow lifecycle
New files:
- get-shit-done/bin/lib/workstream.cjs (CRUD + collision detection)
- get-shit-done/commands/gsd/workstreams.md (slash command)
- get-shit-done/references/workstream-flag.md (documentation)
- tests/workstream.test.cjs (20 tests covering CRUD, env var routing, --ws flag)
All 1062 tests passing (1042 existing + 20 new workstream tests).

When enabled, /gsd:autonomous chains directly from plan-phase to execute-phase,
skipping smart discuss. A minimal CONTEXT.md is auto-generated from the ROADMAP
phase goal so downstream agents have valid input. Manual /gsd:discuss-phase still
works regardless of the setting.
Changes:
- config.cjs: add workflow.skip_discuss to VALID_CONFIG_KEYS and hardcoded defaults (false)
- autonomous.md: check workflow.skip_discuss before smart_discuss, write minimal CONTEXT.md when skipping
- settings.md: add Skip Discuss toggle to interactive settings UI and global defaults
- config.test.cjs: 6 regression tests for the new config key

Add --pick flag to gsd-tools.cjs for extracting a single field from
JSON output, replacing all jq pipe usage across workflow and reference
files. Since Node.js is already a hard dependency, this eliminates the
need for jq on systems where it is not installed (notably Windows).
Changes:
- gsd-tools.cjs: add --pick <field> global flag with dot-notation and
bracket syntax support (e.g., --pick section, --pick directories[-1])
- Replace 15 jq pipe patterns across 6 workflow/reference files with
--pick flag or inline Node.js one-liner for variable extraction
- Add regression tests for --pick flag behavior

New command that generates a comprehensive project summary from completed
milestone artifacts. Designed for team onboarding — new contributors can
run this against a completed project and understand what was built, how,
and why, with optional interactive Q&A grounded in build artifacts.
- commands/gsd/milestone-summary.md: command definition
- get-shit-done/workflows/milestone-summary.md: 9-step workflow
- tests/milestone-summary.test.cjs: 11 tests (command + workflow validation)
- tests/copilot-install.test.cjs: bump expected skill count 53→54
Reads: ROADMAP, REQUIREMENTS, PROJECT, CONTEXT, SUMMARY, VERIFICATION,
RETROSPECTIVE artifacts. Writes to .planning/reports/MILESTONE_SUMMARY-v{X}.md.

The discuss-phase command file contained a 93-line detailed <process>
block that competed with the actual workflow file. The agent treated
this summary as complete instructions and never read the execution_context
files (discuss-phase.md, discuss-phase-assumptions.md, context.md template).
Root cause: Unlike execute-phase and plan-phase commands (which have short
2-line process blocks deferring to the workflow file), discuss-phase had
inline step-by-step instructions detailed enough to act on without reading
the referenced workflow files.
Changes:
- Replace discuss-phase command's <process> block with a short directive
that forces reading the workflow file, matching execute-phase/plan-phase
pattern
- Add MANDATORY instruction that execution_context files ARE the
instructions, not optional reading
- Register workflow.research_before_questions and workflow.discuss_mode
as valid config keys (were missing from VALID_CONFIG_KEYS)
- Fix config key mismatch: workflows referenced "research_questions"
but documented key is "workflow.research_before_questions"
- Move research_before_questions from hooks section to workflow section
in settings workflow
- Add research_before_questions default to config template and builder
- Add suggestion mapping for deprecated hooks.research_questions key
- Add 6 regression tests covering config keys and process block guard

The installer pathPrefix for global installs replaced os.homedir()
with ~, which does NOT expand inside double-quoted shell commands
in POSIX shells. This caused MODULE_NOT_FOUND errors when executing
commands like: node "~/.claude/get-shit-done/bin/gsd-tools.cjs"
Changed pathPrefix to use $HOME instead of ~, which correctly expands
inside double quotes. Also fixed a quoted-tilde instance in do.md.
- bin/install.js: $HOME prefix instead of ~ for global installs
- get-shit-done/workflows/do.md: node "$HOME/..." instead of "~/"

Add /gsd:manager — a single-terminal dashboard for managing milestones.
Shows all phases with visual status indicators (D/P/E columns), computes
recommended next actions, and dispatches discuss inline while plan/execute
run as background agents.
Key behaviors:
- Recommendation engine prioritizes execute > plan > discuss
- Filters parallel execute/plan when phases share dependency chains
- Independent phases (no direct or transitive dep relationship) CAN
run in parallel — dependent phases are serialized
- Dashboard shows compact Deps column for at-a-glance dependency view
- Sliding window limits discuss to one phase at a time
- Activity detection via file mtime (5-min window) for is_active flag
New files:
- commands/gsd/manager.md — skill definition
- get-shit-done/workflows/manager.md — full workflow spec
- get-shit-done/bin/lib/init.cjs — cmdInitManager() with phase parsing,
dependency graph traversal, and recommendation filtering
- get-shit-done/bin/gsd-tools.cjs — route 'init manager' to new command
- tests/init-manager.test.cjs — 16 tests covering status detection,
deps, sliding window, recommendations, and edge cases

Add codebase-first assumption-driven alternative to the interview-style
discuss-phase. New `workflow.discuss_mode: "assumptions"` config routes
to a separate workflow that spawns a gsd-assumptions-analyzer agent to
read 5-15 codebase files, surface assumptions with evidence, and ask
only for corrections (~2-4 interactions vs ~15-20).
- New gsd-assumptions-analyzer agent for deep codebase analysis
- New discuss-phase-assumptions.md workflow (15 steps)
- Command-level routing via dual @reference + process gate
- Identical CONTEXT.md output — downstream agents unaffected
- Existing discuss-phase.md workflow untouched (zero diff)
- Mode-aware plan-phase gate and progress display
- User documentation and integration tests
- Update agent count and list in copilot-install tests (17 → 18)

Three new commands for managing isolated GSD workspaces:
- /gsd:new-workspace — create workspace with repo worktrees/clones
- /gsd:list-workspaces — scan ~/gsd-workspaces/ for active workspaces
- /gsd:remove-workspace — clean up workspace and git worktrees
Supports both multi-repo orchestration (subset of repos from a parent
directory) and feature branch isolation (worktree of current repo with
independent .planning/).
Includes init functions, command routing, workflows, 24 tests, and
user documentation.

Wire the --reviews flag through the full stack so plan-phase can
replan incorporating cross-AI review feedback from REVIEWS.md:
- core.cjs: add has_reviews detection in searchPhaseInDir
- init.cjs: wire has_reviews and reviews_path through all init functions
- plan-phase.md command: add --reviews to argument-hint and flags
- plan-phase.md workflow: add step 2.5 validation, skip research,
skip existing plans prompt, pass reviews_path to planner
- gsd-planner.md: add reviews_mode section for consuming review feedback
- COMMANDS.md: add --reviews and missing flags to docs

buildNewProjectConfig(): add firecrawl and exa_search API key
detection alongside existing brave_search, matching upstream's
new integrations.
Decisions in CONTEXT.md are now numbered (D-01, D-02, etc.) so
downstream agents can reference them and the plan-checker can verify
100% coverage.
Changes:
- templates/context.md: Decisions use **D-XX:** prefix format
- workflows/discuss-phase.md: write_context step numbers decisions
- agents/gsd-planner.md: Self-check verifies decision ID references
in task actions; tasks reference D-XX IDs for traceability
- agents/gsd-plan-checker.md: Dimension 7 (Context Compliance)
extracts D-XX IDs and verifies every decision has a task
The stats workflow was the only file using $GSD_TOOLS, which is never
defined anywhere. This caused the LLM to improvise the path at runtime,
producing the wrong directory (tools/) and extension (.mjs) instead of
the correct bin/gsd-tools.cjs used by all other workflows.

Adds an optional advisor mode to discuss-phase that provides research-backed
comparison tables before asking users to make decisions. Activates when
USER-PROFILE.md exists, degrades gracefully otherwise.
New agent: gsd-advisor-researcher -- spawned in parallel per gray area,
returns structured 5-column comparison tables calibrated to the user vendor
philosophy preference (full_maturity/standard/minimal_decisive).
Workflow changes (discuss-phase.md):
- Advisor mode detection in analyze_phase step
- New advisor_research step spawns parallel research agents
- Table-first discussion flow in discuss_areas when advisor mode active
- Standard conversational flow unchanged when advisor mode inactive
VALID_CONFIG_KEYS: merge our additions (workflow.auto_advance,
workflow.node_repair, workflow.node_repair_budget, hooks.context_warnings)
with upstream's additions (workflow.text_mode, git.quick_branch_template).
ensureConfigFile(): keep our refactored version that delegates to
buildNewProjectConfig({}) instead of upstream's duplicated logic.
buildNewProjectConfig(): add git.quick_branch_template: null and
workflow.text_mode: false to match upstream's new keys.
new-project.md: integrate upstream's Step 5.1 Sub-Repo Detection
after our commit block; drop upstream's duplicate Note (ours at
line 493 is more detailed).
