* feat(skill-deps): add requires: frontmatter to all 51 skills with cross-skill references
Mechanical migration from docs/research/data/2026-05-12-skill-audit.json.
Every skill whose body references another GSD skill now declares those
dependencies in `requires:` YAML frontmatter (flow-style array).
Notable: discuss-phase, plan-phase, and execute-phase all reference `phase`,
which confirms the latent gap in MINIMAL_SKILL_ALLOWLIST — `phase` is pulled
by the core loop but was never in the allowlist. The profile closure model
(ADR-0010 Phase 1) resolves this automatically.
Closes part of #3408.

* feat(skill-surface-budget): add PROFILES map, resolveProfile, loadSkillsManifest, staging, marker IO
Implements the Skill Surface Budget Module core (ADR-0010, Phase 1):
- PROFILES Object.freeze map: core (6 skills), standard (~13), full ('*')
- loadSkillsManifest: parses requires: frontmatter from commands/gsd/*.md
into a Map<stem, string[]> without external YAML dep
- resolveProfile({modes, manifest}): computes transitive closure over the
requires: graph; composable (modes=['core','audit'] unions closures)
- stageSkillsForProfile / stageAgentsForProfile: filesystem staging with
same exit-cleanup machinery as the legacy stageSkillsForMode
- readActiveProfile / writeActiveProfile: .gsd-profile marker round-trip
- Back-compat shims preserved: MINIMAL_SKILL_ALLOWLIST, isMinimalMode,
shouldInstallSkill (overloaded), stageSkillsForMode — all legacy tests pass
The phase latent bug is now resolved by closure: discuss-phase, plan-phase,
and execute-phase all require phase, so any profile including any of them
automatically includes phase via transitive closure.
Tests: 22 manifest+resolve, 9 stage, 10 marker (41 new tests, all green).
Back-compat anchor: 80/80 passing.
Closes part of #3408.

* feat(skill-surface-budget): add lint-skill-deps.cjs CI gate and fix 19 missed requires: entries
Two lint checks (scripts/lint-skill-deps.cjs):
a) Frontmatter-body consistency: skill body references must appear in requires:
b) Profile closure: every requires: dep of any profile skill must be in closure
Running the lint revealed 19 body references missed by the audit JSON (the
audit used static analysis; some bodies have conditional references). Fixed:
complete-milestone: +audit-milestone, discuss-phase, plan-phase, execute-phase, new-milestone
fast: +quick
health: +thread
map-codebase: +new-project, plan-phase
new-milestone, new-project, review, ultraplan-phase: +plan-phase
ship: +verify-work
sketch, spike: +new-project
verify-work: +execute-phase
workstreams: +new-milestone, resume-work
Wired into package.json as lint:skill-deps and added to pretest.
8 fixture-based tests: all green.
Closes part of #3408.

* feat(skill-surface-budget): wire --profile= arg, profile marker write/read in bin/install.js
- Add --profile=<name> / --profile=<n1>,<n2> arg parsing (composable).
Mutually exclusive with --minimal / --core-only (aliases for --profile=core).
Default (no flag): full.
- Import readActiveProfile / writeActiveProfile from install-profiles.cjs.
- After writeManifest: persist active profile to .gsd-profile marker.
- gsd update path: if no --profile flag given, read existing .gsd-profile
marker so non-full profiles are not silently re-expanded to full (ADR-0010).
- Update --help block to document --profile= with per-tier token costs.
New test: install-minimal-backcompat.test.cjs (6 tests):
- PROFILES.core === MINIMAL_SKILL_ALLOWLIST (contract)
- --minimal writes .gsd-profile marker "core"
- --profile=core, --profile=standard write correct markers
- default install writes marker "full"
Closes part of #3408.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* feat(install-profiles): derive agents from skill body refs and wire into resolveProfile
Deviation 1 of ADR-0010 phase 1b: tiered profiles (core, standard) now produce
a non-empty agents Set instead of always returning empty. resolveProfile() scans
each skill body for gsd-* agent name references (via new parseCallsAgents()),
stores them in _calls_agents_<stem> manifest entries, and unions them across the
resolved skill closure. stageAgentsForProfile() already checked resolvedProfile.agents
— it now gets real data so tiered profiles install the correct subset of agents
instead of zero.
Closes#3408 (partial — Deviation 1 only)

* feat(install): honor .gsd-profile marker on update, add resolveEffectiveProfile/mostRestrictiveProfile
Deviation 2 of ADR-0010 phase 1b: the marker written during installation is now
actually honored when re-running without explicit flags (e.g. gsd update). The
dead-end logging block is replaced by resolveEffectiveProfile(), which picks the
marker profile over 'full' when no explicit --profile= flag was given. The resolved
profile is piped through to all 13 stageSkillsForMode dispatch sites (now _stageSkills)
so updates install only the previously-chosen skill subset.
--minimal retains its back-compat behavior (strict 6-skill allowlist, no closure)
while writing 'core' to the marker. mostRestrictiveProfile() is exported for callers
that need to reconcile disagreeing markers across runtimes (smallest skill set wins).

* feat(surface): add CLUSTERS data + state IO module
Add clusters.cjs with 10 named skill groups covering all 66 skills
(verified by surface-clusters.test.cjs). Add surface.cjs with readSurface/
writeSurface atomic IO, resolveSurface, applySurface, and listSurface.
Tests: 17 passing (11 state IO + 6 cluster integrity).
Closes#3408
* docs(adr): add ADR-0011 Skill Surface Budget Module (Phase 1 accepted, Phase 2 amendment)
Records the install-time profile staging decision (Phase 1, landed) and the
runtime /gsd:surface cluster-toggle decision (Phase 2, in flight) as an
amendment. Updates the ADR README index.
Closes#3408
* docs(install-profiles): update module docblock for Phase 2 and ADR-0011
Corrects the ADR reference from 0010 to 0011, documents the three-profile
model and back-compat aliases, adds resolveEffectiveProfile precedence rule,
and notes the companion surface.cjs Phase 2 engine.
* docs(context): add Skill Surface Budget Module canonical entry
Adds the Domain terms entry for the Skill Surface Budget Module covering
both Phase 1 (install-time profiles, .gsd-profile marker) and Phase 2
(runtime /gsd:surface cluster toggles, clusters.cjs, .gsd-surface.json),
per ADR-0011 Consequences requirement.
* feat(surface): add resolveSurface and applySurface engine + tests
Tests cover: profile → surface equivalence, cluster disable/enable,
explicitAdds transitive closure, applySurface file sync (add missing,
remove superseded, preserve non-gsd files), listSurface token cost.
16 new tests passing.
* docs(readme): document --profile= flag and /gsd:surface command
Brief user-facing mention of install profiles (core/standard/full) and the
/gsd:surface slash command in the Commands table. Points to ADR-0011 for details.
* feat(surface): add /gsd:surface slash command runbook
New skill: gsd:surface — runtime profile/cluster toggle without reinstall.
Sub-commands: list, status, profile <name>, disable/enable <cluster>, reset.
Persists state to .gsd-surface.json (independent of .gsd-profile).
Description 96 chars (≤100 limit). lint:descriptions + lint:skill-deps: 0 violations.
* feat(surface): add changeset fragment for /gsd:surface runtime toggle
* feat(surface): add surface skill stem to utility cluster
surface.md is a new skill; add it to the utility cluster so the
surface-clusters.test.cjs coverage invariant stays satisfied.
* docs(adr): fix ADR references to 0011 and record Phase 2 as shipped
ADR-0010 number was already claimed by the file-operation-engine ADR; this
ADR landed as 0011-skill-surface-budget-module.md. Update inline ADR
references in clusters.cjs, surface.cjs, install-profiles.cjs, and the
Phase 2 changeset to ADR-0011. Update the ADR Status section to record
Phase 2 artifacts as shipped on this branch rather than "in progress".

* docs(research): port skill-surface-budget memo and audit data
ADR-0011 references docs/research/2026-05-12-skill-surface-budget.md and
docs/research/data/2026-05-12-skill-audit.json, which only existed in the
research worktree. Port both onto this branch so the ADR's References
section resolves and reviewers can read the cluster taxonomy (§3.2),
dependency topology (§3.1), and option grading (§4) that justify Phase 1
and Phase 2 decisions.

* fix(registration): register surface/clusters in INVENTORY, COMMANDS, and help.md
- surface.md: convert allowed-tools from inline YAML array to block style
(was parsed as a single tool name "[Read, Write, Bash]" by test harness)
- docs/INVENTORY.md: add CLI module rows for clusters.cjs and surface.cjs;
add Commands row for /gsd-surface; bump CLI Modules count 55→57, Commands 66→67
- docs/INVENTORY-MANIFEST.json: add entries for clusters.cjs, surface.cjs,
and /gsd-surface (filename-based command key)
- docs/COMMANDS.md: add ### `/gsd-surface` heading in Configuration Commands
- get-shit-done/workflows/help.md: add /gsd:surface entry in Configuration section
Fixes registration failures introduced by Phase 2 of #3408.

* fix(surface,docs): scrub .claude leakage and escape hypothetical slash tokens
Two PR regressions introduced earlier on this branch:
1. surface.cjs JSDoc comments contained the canonical paths
(~/.claude/commands/gsd, ~/.claude/agents) as example values, which the
cline-install leak regex (~\/\.claude\/(?:get-shit-done|commands|agents
|hooks)) flagged as install-time path leaks. Reworded the docblocks to
describe runtime-resolved paths without literal ~/.claude tokens.
2. The ported research memo proposed hypothetical Option C dispatchers
using slash syntax (/gsd:milestone, /gsd:research). The
docs-parity-live-registry test enforces that every slash-command token
in docs/ resolves to a real command. Rewrote the Option C sketch
without the slash prefix and added a clarifying note that the
dispatchers are illustrative, not shipped.
Targeted tests now pass: tests/cline-install.test.cjs and
tests/docs-parity-live-registry.test.cjs both green.

Fixes#3168
The Claude Code subagent dispatcher tool is named `Agent` (with `subagent_type`
parameter). The `Task*` namespace (TaskCreate, TaskList, TaskGet, TaskUpdate,
TaskOutput, TaskStop) is the separate task-tracker. GSD's commands, workflows,
and agents were partially migrated and still referenced `- Task` / `Task(` in
55 files, causing orchestrators to silently fall back to inline execution when
no `Task` tool appeared on their tool surface.
Changes:
- `commands/gsd/*.md` allowed-tools: replaced `- Task` with `- Agent` in 24
files; removed duplicate `- Task` from autonomous.md (already had `- Agent`)
- `get-shit-done/workflows/*.md`: replaced dispatcher `Task(` → `Agent(` in
29 workflow files (~133 call sites); TaskCreate/List/Get/Update/Output/Stop
left untouched
- `agents/gsd-debug-session-manager.md`: replaced `Task` → `Agent` in tools
frontmatter (the only remaining agent with the wrong name)

Copilot agents use vscode_askquestions as the equivalent of AskUserQuestion.
Without explicit guidance they sometimes omit questioning steps that depend
on AskUserQuestion, causing extra billing and incomplete workflows.
- Add <runtime_note> to plan-phase, discuss-phase, execute-phase, and
new-project commands mapping vscode_askquestions to AskUserQuestion
- Add AskUserQuestion to plan-phase allowed-tools (was missing, causing
the planner orchestrator to skip user questions in some runtimes)

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
Executor self-check after SUMMARY.md creation verifies key-files exist
on disk and commit hashes exist in git log. Orchestrator spot-checks
SUMMARY claims before trusting and proceeding to next wave. Segmented
execution (execute-plan.md) gets the same self-check inline.
Adds switchable model profiles (quality/balanced/budget) to control
which Claude model each agent uses, balancing quality vs token spend.
New files:
- get-shit-done/references/model-profiles.md - profile lookup table
- commands/gsd/set-profile.md - runtime profile switching
Updated orchestrators to resolve model before spawning agents:
- new-project, new-milestone (7 calls each)
- plan-phase (4 calls)
- execute-phase (3 calls)
- audit-milestone, debug, research-phase, quick (1-2 calls each)
- workflows: execute-phase, execute-plan, verify-work, map-codebase
Profile stored in .planning/config.json as model_profile.
Default: "balanced" (Opus for planning, Sonnet for execution).

Adds interactive settings command to toggle workflow agents:
- Plan Researcher (workflow.research)
- Plan Checker (workflow.plan_check)
- Execution Verifier (workflow.verifier)

* 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

- 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(new-milestone): integrate full research/requirements/roadmap flow
Previously routed to non-existent /gsd:research-project and

- 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

Commands with <offer_next> sections were outputting backticks literally

ROADMAP.md, STATE.md, and REQUIREMENTS.md updates now commit

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Subagents can't determine if phase is complete. The orchestrator
(execute-plan and execute-phase commands) runs in main context,
can count plans vs summaries, and updates REQUIREMENTS.md when
phase completes.
- execute-plan: Step 2.5 updates requirements when summaries = plans
- execute-phase: Step 6 updates requirements (phase always complete)
- Removed duplicate from workflow (subagent can't run it anyway)
Reduce principles.md from 158 to 73 lines:
- Remove duplicates (atomic_commits, tdd, deviation_rules)
- Remove version drag from claude_automates
- Keep core orientation: solo dev model, plans are prompts,
scope control, ship fast, anti-enterprise
Add principles.md to 9 core commands so Claude always
understands what GSD is.

The orchestrator pattern conversion (8ed6a8f) removed workflow context
loading for context efficiency but inadvertently removed the offer_next
step that presents copy/paste-ready next commands after plan/phase
completion.
Added explicit <offer_next> sections to both commands:
- execute-plan.md: routes to next plan, next phase, or milestone complete
- execute-phase.md: routes to next phase or milestone complete
Both include /clear hints and copy/paste-ready command paths.

Remove the global ISSUES.md deferred enhancement tracking system.
- Delete /gsd:consider-issues command (never used)
- Delete issues.md template (never instantiated)
- Remove Rule 5 from deviation rules (never triggered)
- Remove all ISSUES.md, ISS-XXX, and "deferred issues" references
- Update STATE.md to track pending todos instead
The ISSUES.md system was designed to capture non-critical enhancements
during plan execution via "Rule 5", but it never fired in practice
across 100+ projects. The system added ~350 lines of dead code.
The /gsd:add-todo and /gsd:check-todos system serves the same purpose
and is actually used.
Note: UAT *-ISSUES.md files (per-plan, created by /gsd:verify-work)
are unaffected - those are a separate, active system.
