* 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)
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* 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".
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* 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.

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)

All workflow, command, reference, template, and tool-output files that
surfaced /gsd:<cmd> as a user-typed slash command have been updated to
use /gsd-<cmd>, matching the Claude Code skill directory name.
Closes#2697
Co-authored-by: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Commands are now installed as commands/gsd/<name>.md and invoked as
/gsd:<name> in Claude Code. The old hyphen form /gsd-<name> was still
hardcoded in hundreds of places across workflows, references, templates,
lib modules, and command files — causing "Unknown command" errors
whenever GSD suggested a command to the user.
Replace all /gsd-<cmd> occurrences where <cmd> is a known command name
(derived at runtime from commands/gsd/*.md) using a targeted Node.js
script. Agent names, tool names (gsd-sdk, gsd-tools), directory names,
and path fragments are not touched.
Adds regression test tests/bug-2543-gsd-slash-namespace.test.cjs that
enforces zero legacy occurrences going forward. Removes inverted
tests/stale-colon-refs.test.cjs (bug #1748) which enforced the now-obsolete
hyphen form; the new bug-2543 test supersedes it. Updates 5 assertion
tests that hardcoded the old hyphen form to accept the new colon form.
Closes#2543

* 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:
- hooks/: fix 4 user-facing messages (pause-work, update, fast, quick)
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: remove <sub>/clear</sub> pattern and duplicate old-format command in discuss-phase.md

Custom subagents cannot access MCP tools due to Claude Code bug #13898.
This affects gsd-phase-researcher, gsd-project-researcher, and gsd-planner

Fix: Switch to general-purpose agent (which has MCP access) and have it
read the agent instruction file as its first action. The specialized
behavior comes from the prompt, not the agent definition.

End-of-command workflows now show explicit instructions to run /clear
and paste the next command, rather than offering numbered options that
invoke SlashCommand directly. This prevents users from accidentally
exhausting context by continuing work in the same session.
- Updated 16 files (commands and workflows)
- YOLO mode auto-continues preserved (user explicitly chose automation)
- In-workflow decisions like consider-issues preserved
