Adds --chain flag to /gsd:discuss-phase that provides the middle ground
between fully manual and fully automatic workflows:
/gsd:discuss-phase 5 --chain
- Discussion is fully interactive (user answers questions)
- After context is captured, auto-advances to plan → execute
- Same pipeline as --auto, but without auto-answering
This addresses the community request for per-phase automation where
users want to control discuss decisions but skip manual advancement
between plan and execute steps.
Workflow: discuss (interactive) → plan (auto) → execute (auto)
Changes:
- Workflow: --chain flag triggers auto_advance without auto-answering
- Workflow: chain flag synced alongside --auto in ephemeral config
- Workflow: next-phase suggestion preserves --chain vs --auto
- Command: argument-hint and description updated
- Success criteria updated
Closes#1327

- Update ROADMAP.md with phase 05 plan progress
* fix(05): replace plain text y/n prompts with AskUserQuestion in docs-update workflow
Three prompts were using plain text (y/n) instead of GSD's standard
AskUserQuestion pattern: CONTRIBUTING.md confirmation, doc queue
proceed gate, and secrets scan confirmation.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* feat(05): structure-aware paths, non-canonical doc fixes, and gap detection
- resolve_modes now inspects existing doc directory structure and places
new docs in matching subdirectories (e.g., docs/architecture/ if that
pattern exists), instead of dumping everything flat into docs/
- Non-canonical docs with inaccuracies are now sent to gsd-doc-writer
in fix mode for surgical corrections, not just reported
- Added documentation gap detection step that scans the codebase for
undocumented areas and prompts user to create missing docs
- Added type: custom support to gsd-doc-writer with template_custom
section for gap-detected documentation
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix(05): smarter structure-aware path resolution for grouped doc directories
When a project uses grouped subdirectories (docs/architecture/,
docs/api/, docs/guides/), ALL canonical docs must be placed in
appropriate groups — none left flat in docs/. Added resolution
chain per doc type with fallback creation. Filenames now match
existing naming style (lowercase-kebab vs UPPERCASE). Queue
presentation shows actual resolved paths, not defaults.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix(05): restore mode resolution table as primary queue presentation
The table showing resolved paths, modes, and sources for each doc
must be displayed before the proceed/abort confirmation. It was
replaced by a simple list — now restored as the canonical queue view.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix(05): use table format for existing docs review queue presentation
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* feat(05): add work manifest for structured handoffs between workflow steps
Root cause from smoke test: orchestrator forgot to verify 45 non-canonical
docs because the review_queue had no structural scaffolding — it existed
only in orchestrator memory. Fix:
1. Write docs-work-manifest.json to .planning/tmp/ after resolve_modes
with all canonical_queue, review_queue, and gap_queue items
2. Every subsequent step (dispatch, collect, verify, fix_loop, report)
MUST read the manifest first — single source of truth
3. Restructured verify_docs into explicit Phase 1 (canonical) and
Phase 2 (non-canonical) with separate dispatch for each
4. Both queues now eligible for fix_loop corrections
5. Added manifest read instructions to all dispatch/collect steps
Follows the same pattern as execute-phase's phase-plan-index for
tracking work items across multi-step orchestration.

* docs(05): update workflow purpose to reflect full command scope
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* refactor(05): remove redundant steps from docs-update workflow
- Remove validate_agents step (if command is available, agents are installed)
- Remove agents_installed/missing_agents extraction from init_context
- Remove available_agent_types block (agent types specified in each Task call)
- Remove detect_runtime_capabilities step (runtime knows its own tools)
- Replace hardcoded flat paths in collect_wave_1/2 with manifest resolved_paths
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix(05): restore available_agent_types section required by test suite
Test enforces that workflows spawning named agents must declare them
in an <available_agent_types> block. Added back with both gsd-doc-writer
and gsd-doc-verifier listed.

--full now enables discussion + research + plan-checking + verification.
New --validate flag covers what --full previously did (plan-checking +
verification only). All downstream workflow logic uses $VALIDATE_MODE.
Closes#1498

The reapply-patches workflow used a two-way comparison (user's backup vs
new version) which couldn't distinguish user customizations from version
drift. This caused 10/10 files to be misclassified as "no custom content"
in real-world usage, silently discarding user modifications.
Changes:
- Rewrite workflow with three-way merge strategy (pristine baseline vs
user-modified backup vs newly installed version)
- Add critical invariant: files in gsd-local-patches/ must NEVER be
classified as "no custom content" — they were backed up because the
installer's hash check detected modifications
- Add git-aware detection path using commit history when config dir is
a git repo
- Add pristine_hashes to backup-meta.json so the reapply workflow can
verify reconstructed baseline files
- Add from_manifest_timestamp to backup-meta.json for version tracking
- Conservative default: flag as CONFLICT when uncertain, not SKIP

Background agents for plan/execute now call Skill(gsd:plan-phase) and
Skill(gsd:execute-phase) instead of reimplementing the workflow steps
inline. This ensures local patches, quality gates, and proper branching
are respected. Also removes --no-verify anti-pattern and specifies
exact Skill names in error handler fallbacks.
Fixes#1453
add-backlog and thread commands called generate-slug without --raw,
capturing JSON output (with newlines) as the directory name. Also
cap slugs at 60 chars to prevent absurdly long directory names.

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.

`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

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).

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.
Closes#1298
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
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

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
Closes the gap where --reviews was referenced in 6 places (review
workflow, review command, help workflow, COMMANDS.md, FEATURES.md)
but never implemented.

Prevent silent loss of UAT/verification items when projects advance.
Surfaces outstanding items across all prior phases so nothing is forgotten.
New command:
- /gsd:audit-uat — cross-phase audit with categorized report and test plan
New capabilities:
- Cross-phase health check in /gsd:progress (Step 1.6)
- status: partial for incomplete UAT sessions
- result: blocked with blocked_by tag for dependency-gated tests
- human_needed items persisted as trackable HUMAN-UAT.md files
- Phase completion and transition warnings for verification debt

Three commands reimplemented from positively-received community PRs:
1. /gsd:review (#925) — Cross-AI peer review
Invoke external AI CLIs (Gemini, Claude, Codex) to independently
review phase plans. Produces REVIEWS.md with per-reviewer feedback
and consensus summary. Feed back into planning via --reviews flag.
Multiple users praised the adversarial review concept.
2. /gsd:plant-seed (#456) — Forward-looking idea capture
Capture ideas with trigger conditions that auto-surface during
/gsd:new-milestone. Seeds preserve WHY, WHEN to surface, and
breadcrumbs to related code. Better than deferred items because
triggers are checked, not forgotten.
3. /gsd:pr-branch (#470) — Clean PR branches
Create a branch for pull requests by filtering out .planning/
commits. Classifies commits as code-only, planning-only, or mixed,
then cherry-picks only code changes. Reviewers see clean diffs.
All three are standalone command+workflow additions with no core code
changes. Help workflow updated. Test skill counts updated.
797/797 tests pass.
Three new commands for managing ideas and cross-session context:
/gsd:add-backlog <description>
Adds a 999.x numbered backlog item to ROADMAP.md. Creates phase directory
immediately so /gsd:discuss-phase and /gsd:plan-phase work on them.
No dependencies, no sequencing — pure parking lot.
/gsd:review-backlog
Lists all 999.x items, lets user promote to active milestone, keep, or
remove. Promotion renumbers to next sequential phase with proper deps.
/gsd:thread [name | description]
Three modes:
- No args: list all threads with status
- Existing name: resume thread, load context
- New description: create thread from current conversation context
Threads live in .planning/threads/ as lightweight markdown files with
Goal, Context, References, and Next Steps sections.
Design:
- Self-contained command files, no core changes needed
- 999.x numbering keeps backlog out of active sequence
- Threads are independent of phases — cross-session knowledge stores
- Both features compose with existing GSD commands
Fixes#1005
New lightweight command for tasks too small to justify planning overhead:
typo fixes, config changes, forgotten commits, simple additions.
- Runs inline in current context (no subagent spawn)
- No PLAN.md or SUMMARY.md generated
- Scope guard: redirects to /gsd:quick if task needs >3 file edits
- Atomic commit with conventional commit format
- Logs to STATE.md quick tasks table if present
Complements /gsd:quick (which spawns planner+executor) for cases where
the planning overhead exceeds the actual work.
Closes#609
Adds --analyze flag to /gsd:discuss-phase that provides a trade-off
analysis before each question (or question group in --batch mode).
When active, each question is preceded by:
- 2-3 options with pros/cons based on codebase context
- A recommended approach with reasoning
- Known pitfalls or constraints from prior phases
Composable with existing flags: --batch --analyze gives grouped
questions each with trade-off tables.
Closes#833
* feat: /gsd:ship command for PR creation from verified phase work (#829)
New command that bridges local completion → merged PR, closing the
plan → execute → verify → ship loop.
Workflow (workflows/ship.md):
1. Preflight: verification passed, clean tree, correct branch, gh auth
2. Push branch to remote
3. Auto-generate rich PR body from planning artifacts:
- Phase goal from ROADMAP.md
- Changes from SUMMARY.md files

* fix(tests): update expected skill count from 39 to 40 for new ship command
The Copilot install E2E tests hardcode the expected number of skill
directories and manifest entries. Adding commands/gsd/ship.md increased
the count from 39 to 40.
Adds --interactive flag to /gsd:execute-phase that changes execution from
autonomous subagent delegation to sequential inline execution with user
checkpoints between tasks.
Interactive mode:
- Executes plans sequentially inline (no subagent spawning)
- Presents each plan to user: Execute, Review first, Skip, Stop
- Pauses after each task for user intervention
- Dramatically lower token usage (no subagent overhead)
- Maintains full GSD planning/tracking structure
Changes:
- execute-phase.md: new check_interactive_mode step with full interactive flow
- execute-phase command: documented --interactive flag in argument-hint and context
Use cases:
- Small phases (1-3 plans, no complex dependencies)
- Bug fixes and verification gap closure
- Learning GSD workflow
- When user wants to pair-program with Claude under GSD structure
Fixes#963
* fix: hook version tracking, stale hook detection, and stdin timeout increase
- Add gsd-hook-version header to all hook files for version tracking (#1153)
- Install.js now stamps current version into hooks during installation
- gsd-check-update.js detects stale hooks by comparing version headers
- gsd-statusline.js shows warning when stale hooks are detected
- Increase context monitor stdin timeout from 3s to 10s (#1162)
- Set +x permission on hook files during installation (#1162)
Fixes#1153, #1162, #1161
* feat: add /gsd:session-report command for post-session summary generation
Adds a new command that generates SESSION_REPORT.md with:
- Work performed summary (phases touched, commits, files changed)
- Key outcomes and decisions made
- Active blockers and open items
- Estimated resource usage metrics
Reports are written to .planning/reports/ with date-stamped filenames.
Closes#1157
* test: update expected skill count from 39 to 40 for new session-report command
Adds a zero-friction command that detects the current project state and
automatically invokes the next logical workflow step:
- No phases → discuss first phase
- Phase has no context → discuss
- Phase has context but no plans → plan
- Phase has plans but incomplete → execute
- All plans complete → verify and complete phase
- All phases complete → complete milestone
- Paused → resume work
No arguments needed — reads STATE.md, ROADMAP.md, and phase directories
to determine progression. Designed for multi-project workflows.
Closes#927
When the discuss-phase workflow asks 'More questions about [area], or
move to next?', it now also lists the remaining unvisited areas so the
user can see what's still ahead and make an informed decision about
whether to go deeper or move on.
Example: 'More questions about Layout, or move to next?
(Remaining: Loading behavior, Content ordering)'
Fixes#992
Add composable --research flag to /gsd:quick that spawns a focused
gsd-phase-researcher before planning. Investigates implementation
approaches, library options, and pitfalls for the task.
Addresses the middle-ground gap between quick (no quality agents) and
full milestone workflows. All three flags are composable:
--discuss --research --full gives the complete quality pipeline.
