* feat(plan-phase): --research-phase flag absorbs deleted /gsd-research-phase + scrub stale refs (#3042, #3044)
#3042 (orphaned research-phase): /gsd-research-phase had a workflow file
but no slash-command stub. Rather than restore the orphan, the research-
only capability is now a flag on /gsd-plan-phase:
/gsd-plan-phase --research-phase <N>
When set, the workflow scopes to phase N, runs the research step (Section
5 of the existing plan-phase workflow), then early-exits before the
planner/plan-checker/verifier chain.
Per RCA against the deleted standalone, the flag adds two modifiers to
fully cover the original surface (Option B from the RCA discussion):
- --view : print existing RESEARCH.md to stdout, no spawn. Cheapest mode
for the correction-without-replanning loop the issue reporter
explicitly called out. Errors with a clear hint if RESEARCH.md is
missing.
- --research : reuse the existing "force re-research" semantics. In
research-only mode this skips the existing-RESEARCH.md prompt and
re-spawns unconditionally.
- Neither flag, RESEARCH.md exists : prompt update/view/skip. Mirrors
the deleted standalone's existing-artifact menu (#3042 RCA).
#3044 (stale slash-command refs): scrubbed five deleted commands from
all user-facing surfaces, including English docs, 4 localized doc sets
(ja-JP, ko-KR, zh-CN, pt-BR), workflows, templates, and references.
/gsd-check-todos → /gsd-capture --list
/gsd-new-workspace → /gsd-workspace --new
/gsd-status → /gsd-progress
/gsd-plan-milestone-gaps → table rows / orphan sections removed
(PR #3038 only scrubbed workflows/agent;
missed the docs surfaces this PR covers)
/gsd-research-phase → /gsd-plan-phase --research-phase
Includes a fix to docs/issue-driven-orchestration.md (PR #3036)
which itself referenced /gsd-new-workspace 4 times — self-correction.
Removed:
- get-shit-done/workflows/research-phase.md (orphan, capability
absorbed into --research-phase flag)
Tests:
- tests/bug-3042-3044-research-flag-and-stale-refs.test.cjs — 46
structural-IR tests across both bugs:
- argument-hint advertises --research-phase + --view
- workflow parses --research-phase, sets RESEARCH_ONLY,
early-exits before planner
- --view prints RESEARCH.md without spawning
- --research forces refresh in research-only mode
- existing-RESEARCH.md prompt path with update/view/skip
- workflows/research-phase.md is removed
- 5 deleted slash-commands absent from 17 English user-facing
surfaces + 16 localized doc surfaces (4 locales × 4 docs each)
- replacement command tokens present where deleted ones lived
6950/6950 full suite pass. Lints clean.

* fix: address all 8 CR findings on PR #3045
Major (3):
- get-shit-done/workflows/plan-phase.md:344 — added explicit early-exit
guard at Section 5.1: "Skip if RESEARCH_ONLY=true". Without it, an LLM
could fall through "use existing, skip to step 6" → planner spawn,
violating the research-only contract. The guard makes the early-exit
unreachable from any non-research-only branch.
- get-shit-done/references/continuation-format.md (3 examples) +
zh-CN/.../continuation-format.md (3 examples) — pointed to
`/gsd-plan-phase --research-phase` but docs/COMMANDS.md didn't
document the flag. Added a full --research-phase + --view + --research
modifier section to the /gsd-plan-phase flag table in COMMANDS.md so
the canonical reference matches the continuation examples.
Minor (5):
- docs/FEATURES.md:1632 — `/gsd-plan-phase --research-phase` →
`/gsd-plan-phase --research-phase <N>` (include required arg).
- get-shit-done/templates/README.md:46 — NN-VALIDATION.md producer
reverted from `/gsd-plan-phase --research-phase` (Nyquist) to plain
`/gsd-plan-phase` (Nyquist). VALIDATION.md is created during normal
Nyquist flow, not research-only mode — the bulk replacement was
wrong for that line.
- get-shit-done/workflows/help.md:89 — signature line was missing
`--research`; added it alongside `--research-phase` and `--view`.
- tests/bug-3042-3044-...:197 — promptHasView/promptHasSkip were
tautological (matched anywhere in 1700-line workflow). Tightened
to a proximity check anchored on "RESEARCH.md already exists" prompt
header within a 600-char window. Updated workflow to emit that
literal phrase.
- tests/feat-2840-...:95 — workspace assertion used `/gsd-workspace`
but the documented replacement is `/gsd-workspace --new`. Tightened
to require both tokens (in 3 places: requiredCommands list, regex
in conceptPairs, error message).
6950/6950 full suite pass. Lint clean.

* chore(#2828): add canary release workflow (dev builds on push to main)
Publishes get-shit-done-cc@canary and @gsd-build/sdk@canary on every
push to main. Version format: {base}-canary.{N} where base strips any
pre-release suffix from package.json (1.39.0-rc.4 → 1.39.0-canary.1).
Sequential canary number is auto-detected from existing git tags so
reruns never collide. Concurrency group cancels stale in-flight canary
runs when commits land quickly.
Mirrors the structure and steps of release.yml: same checkout pins,
Node 24, npm-publish environment, build:sdk, tarball verification,
dry-run publish gate, and publish verification with sleep 10.
Closes#2828
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix(#2828): address CodeRabbit review findings on canary.yml
- cancel-in-progress: false — was true, allowing a newer push to cancel a
run mid-publish (after tag push but before SDK publish), leaving a partial
release state that's unrecoverable since npm versions are immutable
- Guard tag/publish/verify steps with github.ref == 'refs/heads/main' so
a manual workflow_dispatch from a feature branch (dry_run defaults false)
cannot accidentally publish unmerged code under the shared canary dist-tag
- Replace fixed sleep 10 with exponential backoff retry loop (delays: 5 10
20 30 45s); fixed sleep is flaky against normal npm CDN replication lag
and a false failure forces a new canary number since the tag already exists

* feat(plan-phase): expose --mvp flag in command frontmatter
Adds --mvp to argument-hint and Flags doc. Workflow handler in next commit.
* chore(#2828): remove push:main trigger from canary workflow
Submission rate to main is too high to auto-publish a canary on every
merge. Restrict the workflow to manual workflow_dispatch only.

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.

* 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

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)

`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

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.

Add opt-in mechanism to chain discuss → plan → execute automatically
via Task() subagents, eliminating manual /clear + paste overhead.
- Add `--auto` flag to discuss-phase and plan-phase commands
- Add `workflow.auto_advance` config toggle (default: false)
- Add auto_advance step to discuss-phase workflow (spawns plan-phase)
- Add step 14 to plan-phase workflow (spawns execute-phase)
- Add auto_advance toggle to /gsd:settings
Chain stops gracefully on INCONCLUSIVE, CHECKPOINT, or verification
failures. No work lost — artifacts persist at each step.

Custom subagents cannot access MCP tools due to Claude Code bug #13898.
This affects gsd-phase-researcher, gsd-project-researcher, and gsd-planner
which need Context7 for documentation lookups.
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.

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).

Split gsd-researcher into two specialized agents:
- gsd-phase-researcher: tailored for phase research before planning
- gsd-project-researcher: tailored for ecosystem research before roadmap
Updated /gsd:plan-phase to auto-research before planning:
- Research runs if no RESEARCH.md exists (silent use if exists)
- --research flag forces re-research
- --skip-research flag bypasses research entirely
- Researchers commit their output
This enables single-command workflow: /gsd:plan-phase does
research → plan → verify in one orchestrated flow.

Adds context: fork and agent: general-purpose to plan-phase command.
This isolates the heavy discovery/synthesis work in a fresh 200k context
window, keeping the main conversation clean.
Removes AskUserQuestion from allowed-tools (workflow doesn't use it).
- Add verify_phase_goal step to execute-phase workflow
- Verifier outputs structured gaps: YAML for planner consumption
- Add --gaps flag to plan-phase for gap closure mode
- Route by verification status: passed, gaps_found, human_needed
- Gap closure creates sequential plans (04, 05...) from verification gaps
- User stays in control at each decision point

- Roadmap template now includes Requirements: field for each phase
- plan-phase loads REQUIREMENTS.md and extracts phase-specific requirements
- define-requirements shows full list inline before commit (not just counts)
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
