* fix(tests): update 5 source-text tests to read config-schema.cjs
VALID_CONFIG_KEYS moved from config.cjs to config-schema.cjs in the
drift-prevention companion PR. Tests that read config.cjs source text
and checked for key literal includes() now point to the correct file.

* feat(agents): sycophancy hardening for 9 audit-class agents (#2427)
Add adversarial reviewer posture to gsd-plan-checker, gsd-code-reviewer,
gsd-security-auditor, gsd-verifier, gsd-eval-auditor, gsd-nyquist-auditor,
gsd-ui-auditor, gsd-integration-checker, and gsd-doc-verifier.
Four changes per agent:
- Third-person framing: <role> opens with submission framing, not "You are a GSD X"
- FORCE stance: explicit starting hypothesis that the submission is flawed
- Failure modes: agent-specific list of how each reviewer type goes soft
- BLOCKER/WARNING classification: every finding must carry an explicit severity
Also applies to sdk/prompts/agents variants of gsd-plan-checker and gsd-verifier.

Add a new pattern mapper agent that analyzes the codebase for existing
patterns before planning, producing PATTERNS.md with per-file analog
assignments and code excerpts. Integrated into plan-phase workflow as
Step 7.8 (between research and planning), controlled by the
workflow.pattern_mapper config key (default: true).
Changes:
- New agent: agents/gsd-pattern-mapper.md
- New config key: workflow.pattern_mapper in VALID_CONFIG_KEYS and CONFIG_DEFAULTS
- init plan-phase: patterns_path field in JSON output
- plan-phase.md: Step 7.8 spawns pattern mapper, PATTERNS_PATH in planner files_to_read
- gsd-plan-checker.md: Dimension 12 (Pattern Compliance)
- model-profiles.cjs: gsd-pattern-mapper profile entry
- Tests: tests/pattern-mapper.test.cjs (5 tests)

* docs(agents): add few-shot calibration examples for plan-checker and verifier
Closes#1723
* test(agents): add structural tests for few-shot calibration examples
Validates reference file existence, frontmatter metadata, example counts,
WHY annotations on every example, agent @reference lines, and content
structure (input/output pairs, calibration gap patterns table).
Combines implementation by @davesienkowski (inline @-reference wiring at
decision-point steps, named reasoning models with anti-patterns, sequencing
rules, Gap Closure Mode) and @Tibsfox (test suite covering file existence,
section structure, and agent wiring).
- 5 reference files in get-shit-done/references/ — each with named reasoning
models, Counters annotations, Conflict Resolution sequencing, and When NOT
to Think guidance
- Inline @-reference wiring placed inside the specific step/section blocks
where thinking decisions occur (not at top-of-agent)
- Planning cluster includes Gap Closure Mode root-cause check section
- Test suite: 63 tests covering file existence, named models, Conflict
Resolution sections, Gap Closure Mode, and inline wiring placement

* fix: replace /gsd: command format with /gsd- skill format in all suggestions
All next-step suggestions shown to users were still using the old colon
format (/gsd:xxx) which cannot be copy-pasted as skills. Migrated all
occurrences across agents/, commands/, get-shit-done/, docs/, README files,
bin/install.js (hardcoded defaults for claude runtime), and
get-shit-done/bin/lib/*.cjs (generate-claude-md templates and error messages).
Updated tests to assert new hyphen format instead of old colon format.

* fix: migrate remaining /gsd: format to /gsd- in hooks, workflows, and sdk
Addresses remaining user-facing occurrences missed in the initial migration:

and 2 comments in gsd-workflow-guard.js
- get-shit-done/workflows/: fix 21 Skill() literal calls that Claude
executes directly (installer does not transform workflow content)
- sdk/prompt-sanitizer.ts: update regex to strip /gsd- format in addition
to legacy /gsd: format; update JSDoc comment
- tests/: update autonomous-ui-steps, prompt-sanitizer to assert new format
Note: commands/gsd/*.md frontmatter (name: gsd:xxx) intentionally unchanged
— installer derives skillName from directory path, not the name field.

* fix(plan-phase): preserve --chain flag in auto-advance sync and handle ui-phase gate in chain mode
Bug 1: step 15 sync-flag check only guarded against --auto, causing
_auto_chain_active to be cleared when plan-phase is invoked without
--auto in ARGUMENTS even though a --chain pipeline was active. Added
--chain to the guard condition, matching discuss-phase behaviour.
Bug 2: UI Design Contract gate (step 5.6) always exited the workflow
when UI-SPEC was missing, breaking the discuss --chain pipeline
silently. When _auto_chain_active is true, the gate now auto-invokes
gsd-ui-phase --auto via Skill() and continues to step 6 without
prompting. Manual invocations retain the existing AskUserQuestion flow.

* fix(phase-runner): add research gate to block planning on unresolved open questions (#1602)
Plan-phase could proceed to planning even when RESEARCH.md had unresolved
open questions in its ## Open Questions section. This caused agents to
plan and execute with fundamental design decisions still undecided.
- Add `research-gate.ts` with pure `checkResearchGate()` function that
parses RESEARCH.md for unresolved open questions
- Integrate gate into PhaseRunner between research (step 2) and plan
(step 3) using existing `invokeBlockerCallback` pattern
- Add Dimension 11 (Research Resolution) to gsd-plan-checker.md agent
- Gate passes when: no Open Questions section, section has (RESOLVED)
suffix, all individual questions marked RESOLVED, or section is empty
- Gate fires `onBlockerDecision` callback with PhaseStepType.Research
and lists the unresolved questions in the error message
- Auto-approves (skip) when no callback registered (headless mode)
- 18 new tests: 13 unit tests for checkResearchGate, 5 integration
tests for PhaseRunner research gate behavior

When phases have many user decisions, the planner sometimes silently
simplifies them (e.g., "D-26: calculated costs" becomes "static labels v1")
instead of delivering what the user decided. This causes downstream
execution to build the wrong thing.
Three changes prevent this:
1. **gsd-planner.md** — `<scope_reduction_prohibition>` section:
- Prohibits language like "v1", "static for now", "future enhancement"
- Requires decision coverage matrix mapping every D-XX to a task
- When phase is too complex: return PHASE SPLIT RECOMMENDED instead
of simplifying decisions
2. **gsd-plan-checker.md** — Dimension 7b: Scope Reduction Detection:
- Scans task actions for scope reduction patterns
- Cross-references with CONTEXT.md to verify full delivery
- Always BLOCKER severity (never warning)
- Includes real-world example from production incident
3. **plan-phase.md** — Step 9b: Handle Phase Split:
- New flow when planner returns PHASE SPLIT RECOMMENDED
- Three options: Split / Proceed anyway / Prioritize
- User decides which decisions are "now" vs "later"
Root cause: planner's instinct when facing complexity is to simplify
individual requirements. Correct behavior is to split the phase so
every decision is implemented at full fidelity.

Add CLAUDE.md enforcement across the three core agents:
- gsd-plan-checker: new Dimension 10 verifies plans respect project
conventions, forbidden patterns, and required tools from CLAUDE.md
- gsd-phase-researcher: outputs Project Constraints section from
CLAUDE.md so planner can verify compliance
- gsd-executor: treats CLAUDE.md directives as hard constraints,
with precedence over plan instructions
Includes 4 regression tests validating the new dimension and
enforcement directives across all three agents.
Closes#1260

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
Three additive quality improvements to the execution pipeline:
1. Pre-wave dependency check (execute-phase): Before spawning wave N+1,
verify key-links from prior wave artifacts. Catches cross-plan wiring
gaps before they cascade into downstream failures.
2. Cross-Plan Data Contracts dimension (plan-checker): New Dimension 9
checks that plans sharing data pipelines have compatible transformations.
Flags when one plan strips data another plan needs in original form.
3. Export-level spot check (verify-phase): After Level 3 wiring passes,
spot-check individual exports for actual usage. Catches dead stores
that exist in wired files but are never called.

* feat: add /gsd:validate-phase command and gsd-nyquist-auditor agent
Retroactively applies Nyquist validation to already-executed phases.
Works mid-milestone and post-milestone. Detects existing test coverage,
maps gaps to phase requirements, writes missing tests, debugs failing
ones, and produces {phase}-VALIDATION.md from existing artifacts.
Handles three states: VALIDATION.md exists (audit + update), no
VALIDATION.md (reconstruct from PLAN.md + SUMMARY.md), phase not yet
executed (exit cleanly with guidance).

Two defensive hardening changes:
1. state.cjs: Replace two identical inline extractField closures
(cmdStateSnapshot and buildStateFrontmatter) with a shared
stateExtractField(content, fieldName) helper at module scope.
The helper uses escapeRegex on fieldName before interpolation
into RegExp constructors, preventing breakage if a field name
ever contains regex metacharacters. Net removal of duplicated
logic.
2. gsd-plan-checker.md: Bound the "relevant" definition in the
exhaustive cross-check instruction. A requirement is "relevant"
only if ROADMAP.md explicitly maps it to this phase or the phase
goal directly implies it — prevents false blocker flags for
requirements belonging to other phases.

Add skills: field to all 11 agent frontmatter files with forward-compatible
GSD workflow skill references (silently ignored until skill files are created).
Add commented hooks: examples to 9 file-writing agents showing PostToolUse
hook syntax for project-specific linting/formatting. Read-only agents
(plan-checker, integration-checker) skip hooks as they cannot modify files.
Per Claude Code docs: subagents don't inherit skills or hooks from the
parent conversation — they must be explicitly listed in frontmatter.

- gsd-executor: Add <analysis_paralysis_guard> block after deviation_rules.
If executor makes 5+ consecutive Read/Grep/Glob calls without any
Edit/Write/Bash action, it must stop and either write or report blocked.
Prevents infinite analysis loops that stall execution.
- gsd-plan-checker: Add exhaustive cross-check in Step 4 requirement coverage.
Checker now also reads PROJECT.md requirements (not just phase goal) to
verify no relevant requirement is silently dropped. Unmapped requirements
become automatic blockers listed explicitly in issues.
- gsd-planner: Add task-level TDD guidance alongside existing TDD Detection.
For code-producing tasks in standard plans, tdd="true" + <behavior> block
makes test expectations explicit before implementation. Complements the
existing dedicated TDD plan approach — both can coexist.

* fix: use `.claude/skills/` instead of `.agents/skills/` in agent and workflow skill references
Claude Code resolves project skills from `.claude/skills/` (project-level)

universal/IDE-agnostic convention that Claude Code does not resolve, causing
project skills to be silently ignored by all affected agents and workflows.

- gsd-planner: add validation step using `frontmatter validate` and
`verify plan-structure` after writing PLAN.md
- execute-plan.md: use gsd-tools state commands for position/progress updates
- verify-phase.md: use gsd-tools for must_haves extraction and artifact/link verification
