* feat(roadmap): parse **Mode:** field on phase sections
Adds a 'mode' field to roadmap.get-phase and roadmap.analyze outputs.
Recognizes '**Mode:** mvp' lines in phase sections; lowercased + trimmed.
Forward-compat: unrecognized values preserved verbatim, no enum check.
Foundation for --mvp flag in plan-phase (PRD: vertical-mvp-slice).
* feat(plan-phase): parse --mvp flag and resolve MVP_MODE
Resolution order: CLI flag → ROADMAP **Mode:** field → workflow.mvp_mode
config → false. Walking Skeleton gate fires for new-project Phase 1.
Wires MVP_MODE + WALKING_SKELETON into gsd-planner subagent prompt.
Per PRD vertical-mvp-slice Phase 1 (Q1, Q2, Q4).
* docs(planner): add vertical-slice planning reference
New reference loaded by gsd-planner when MVP_MODE=true. Defines slice
ordering, Walking Skeleton rules, and anti-patterns. Referenced from
plan-phase workflow MVP_MODE wiring.
* docs(planner): add SKELETON.md template
Template emitted by gsd-planner under WALKING_SKELETON=true. Captures
architectural decisions and out-of-scope list for new-project Phase 1.
* chore(inventory): register new planner references
Added planner-mvp-mode.md and skeleton-template.md to INVENTORY.md and
INVENTORY-MANIFEST.json. References now: 53.
* feat(gsd-planner): add MVP Mode Detection section
Mode-switched branch in the existing planner agent (per Q4: single agent).
Vertical-slice decomposition rules, Walking Skeleton handling, and
TDD-mode compatibility. Heavy guidance lives in references/planner-mvp-mode.md.
* test(plan-phase): add --mvp resolution-chain integration cases
Validates roadmap.get-phase --pick mode and confirms workflow.mvp_mode
default is unset in fresh projects.
* docs(changelog): announce --mvp vertical-slice planning (#2826)
* feat(mvp-phase): add /gsd mvp-phase slash command
Standalone command for vertical MVP planning. Frontmatter only;
heavyweight workflow at get-shit-done/workflows/mvp-phase.md follows
in next commit. Mirrors discuss-phase/edit-phase command shape.
* docs(planner): add user-story-template reference
Defines the canonical 'As a / I want to / So that' format and the
ROADMAP.md / PLAN.md emit rules. Used by mvp-phase workflow and
gsd-planner agent under MVP_MODE.
* docs(planner): add SPIDR splitting reference
Defines size signals, the five SPIDR axes (Spike/Paths/Interfaces/Data/Rules),
the interactive workflow, and anti-patterns. Per PRD Q3 decision: full
interactive flow, not lightweight check. Used by mvp-phase workflow.
* fix(mvp-phase): trim description to fit 100-char budget
* feat(mvp-phase): add mvp-phase workflow
Standalone workflow: phase validation -> user story prompts (As a / I want to /
So that) -> SPIDR splitting check -> ROADMAP write (Mode + Goal) -> delegation
to plan-phase. Per PRD Phase 2 (Q3 full SPIDR; Phase-2-A/B/C/D decisions).
Plan-phase auto-detects MVP via Phase 1's resolution chain, so no flags
are needed when delegating.
* feat(gsd-planner): emit user-story header in PLAN.md under MVP mode
Extends the MVP Mode Detection section (added in Phase 1) so the planner
sources the user story from ROADMAP **Goal:** and emits the bolded
**As a** / **I want to** / **so that** form as the first content under
the phase header in PLAN.md. References user-story-template.md.
* test(mvp-phase): integration smoke test for ROADMAP mutation
Validates roadmap.get-phase output after a workflow-spec'd ROADMAP write:
mode=mvp and goal=full user story. Catches schema drift between workflow
emit and parser expectation. Includes a long-story case (>120 chars) to
confirm SPIDR-rejected stories still parse correctly.
* chore(inventory): register mvp-phase command + 2 new references
Adds /gsd mvp-phase to commands list, mvp-phase workflow to workflows list,
and user-story-template.md + spidr-splitting.md to references. References
count: 53 -> 55.
* docs(changelog): announce /gsd mvp-phase command (#2826)
* fix(mvp-phase): add TEXT_MODE plain-text fallback for non-Claude runtimes (#2012)
* docs(executor): add MVP+TDD gate reference
Defines the runtime gate semantics for execute-phase when both
MVP_MODE and TDD_MODE are true: pre-task verification of failing-test
commit, end-of-phase review escalation from advisory to blocking,
behavior-adding task definition. Loaded conditionally by
execute-phase workflow and gsd-executor agent.
* feat(execute-phase): MVP+TDD runtime gate + blocking review
Resolves MVP_MODE in Step 1 (CLI flag -> roadmap mode -> config -> false).
Adds per-task gate that halts before behavior-adding tasks run if no
failing-test commit exists for the plan. Escalates end-of-phase TDD
review from advisory to blocking when both MVP_MODE and TDD_MODE active.
Also updates INVENTORY-MANIFEST.json to register execute-mvp-tdd.md
(added by Task 1) so manifest-sync tests pass.
Per PRD vertical-mvp-slice Phase 3a (decisions Phase-3-A, Phase-3-Split).
* feat(gsd-executor): add MVP+TDD Gate section
Mirrors the planner's MVP Mode Detection pattern from Phase 1.
Instructs halt-and-report when the runtime gate trips, references
execute-mvp-tdd.md for full semantics. No agent changes outside the
new section.
* test(execute-phase): add MVP+TDD resolution-chain integration cases
Validates roadmap.get-phase --pick mode and confirms workflow.mvp_mode
default is unset in fresh projects. Mirrors the Phase 1 plan-phase
resolution-chain integration test.
* chore(inventory): register execute-mvp-tdd reference
Bumps References count 55 -> 56. Registers execute-mvp-tdd.md.
Adds "init" to PROSE_ALLOWLIST in registry integration test so
bare `gsd-sdk query init` prose examples in plan docs don't
trigger the unregistered-handler guard (real commands are all
init.<subcommand>).
* docs(changelog): announce MVP+TDD runtime gate in execute-phase (#2826)
* docs(verifier): add verify-mvp-mode reference
Defines UAT framing under MVP mode: user-flow walk-through first,
technical checks deferred, coverage check as goal-backward narrowing
to the user story's outcome clause. Loaded conditionally by
verify-work workflow and gsd-verifier agent.
* feat(verify-work): MVP-mode UAT framing — user flow first
Resolves MVP_MODE from phase mode field. Under MVP mode, generates UAT
in three ordered sections: user-flow walk-through (derived from user
story), technical checks (deferred), coverage check (goal-backward).
Falls back to standard UAT generation when mode is null/absent.
User-story-format guard refuses to verify a mode:mvp phase with a
non-user-story goal.
Also updates docs/INVENTORY.md (56 references) and
docs/INVENTORY-MANIFEST.json to register verify-mvp-mode.md added
in Task 1.
Per PRD vertical-mvp-slice Phase 3b (decisions Phase-3-B,
Phase-3-Verify-Structure).
* feat(gsd-verifier): add MVP Mode Verification section
Narrows goal-backward verification to the user-story [outcome] clause
when phase mode is mvp. References verify-mvp-mode.md. Preserves
existing goal-backward methodology for non-MVP phases. User-story-format
guard refuses to verify a mode:mvp phase with a non-user-story goal.
* docs(changelog): announce MVP-mode UAT framing in verify-work (#2826)
* feat(new-project): add Vertical MVP vs Horizontal Layers mode prompt
Asks user at project init how to structure the project. Vertical MVP
emits **Mode:** mvp on every initial roadmap phase (per-phase mode
preserved per PRD Q1). Horizontal Layers falls back to standard
template — no behavioral change for existing flows.
Per PRD vertical-mvp-slice Phase 4 (decision Phase-4-Persistence).
* feat(progress): add MVP-mode user-flow display
When phase has **Mode:** mvp, progress renders user-flow status from
PLAN.md task names alongside standard task progress. Tasks that aren't
user-flow-shaped (technical-sounding) are filtered out of the user-flow
sub-block. Falls back to standard display when mode is null/absent.
Per PRD vertical-mvp-slice Phase 4 (decision Phase-4-Progress).
* feat(stats): add MVP phase count summary
Reads roadmap.analyze (which surfaces mode per phase from Phase 1) and
emits 'Phases: N total | M MVP | K standard' summary line. Suppressed
when MVP_COUNT == 0 to avoid clutter on non-MVP projects.
Per PRD vertical-mvp-slice Phase 4.
* feat(graphify): add MVP-mode visual differentiation
MVP-mode phases render with #22c55e fill color AND ' (MVP)' label
suffix — two-channel signaling for color-blind and grayscale renders.
Standard phases unchanged.
Per PRD vertical-mvp-slice Phase 4 (PRD Q5: distinct visual treatment).
* docs(changelog): announce Phase 4 discovery & progress (#2826)
* chore(release): bump dev to 1.50.0-canary.0 for first 1.50.0 canary
Sets the base version that .github/workflows/canary.yml derives the canary
tag from (strips suffix → base 1.50.0 → next available v1.50.0-canary.N).
This kicks off the 1.50.0 release train, opened by the MVP/TDD/UAT vertical
slice landed across PRs #2867, #2874, #2878, #2880, #2883.
* docs: add CANARY stream README + v1.50.0-canary.1 release notes
- docs/CANARY.md — explains the dev→@canary stream policy, install/rollback
paths, and when (not) to install canary builds
- docs/RELEASE-v1.50.0-canary.1.md — release notes for the first 1.50.0
canary cut: vertical MVP/TDD/UAT slice (#2867 + #2874 + #2878 + #2880 +
#2883), opening the 1.50.0 train under PRD #2826
- docs/README.md — index entry + quick link for the canary stream
* fix(ci/canary): publish gate checks dev branch, not main
Four publish-step `if:` conditions in .github/workflows/canary.yml were
checking `github.ref == 'refs/heads/main'`. Those steps (Tag and push,
Publish to npm, Publish SDK to npm, Verify publish) therefore always
skipped on every workflow_dispatch invocation since canary runs from dev,
never main.
The workflow's own header comment is unambiguous: `dev → @canary`. The
gate was a copy-paste from release.yml (which correctly targets main for
the @next/@latest streams) that was never corrected for the canary stream.
This is why the 1.50.0-canary.1 publish hadn't materialized despite three
green workflow runs. With the gate corrected, the next dispatch will
actually publish.
* ci(release-sdk): make release-sdk.yml dispatchable from the dev branch
The workflow lives on main only, so the GitHub Actions "Use workflow
from" dropdown doesn't list dev — meaning dev → @dev publishes can't be
triggered from the dev branch directly. Add the file to dev so an
operator can dispatch it with branch=dev and tag=dev.
Per project release-stream policy: dev branch publishes canary (@dev).
This is the stream that needs the file most, since main never publishes
@dev itself (main does @next / @latest).
File is byte-identical to main's release-sdk.yml — straight propagation,
no behavioral change. Tracking issues #2925, #2929.
* docs(mvp): canary-prep concept cleanup — CONTEXT.md, mvp-concepts index, --prd interaction (#3176)
* chore(mvp): concept cleanup + cross-ref index for v1.50.0-canary.2 prep
- CONTEXT.md gains 7 MVP domain terms (MVP Mode, User Story, Walking
Skeleton, Vertical Slice, Behavior-Adding Task, MVP+TDD Gate, SPIDR
Splitting) so the project glossary matches the shipped surface.
- New get-shit-done/references/mvp-concepts.md indexes the six MVP
reference files and concept-to-file map so agents and contributors
can find the right canonical doc without grepping.
- plan-phase.md Walking Skeleton block now documents that --mvp and
--prd compose orthogonally on Phase 1; no precedence needed.
- INVENTORY/INVENTORY-MANIFEST refreshed for the new reference (58 -> 59).
No behavior change. Canary-prep cleanup ahead of v1.50.0-canary.2.
Surfaced for follow-up (not in this PR):
- MVP_MODE resolution shell block duplicated across plan-phase,
execute-phase, verify-work workflows (needs a shared workflow-include
mechanism; structural change).
- Behavior-Adding Task predicate is prose-only; no shared utility.
- User Story regex hardcoded in verify-work; would benefit from a
central definition consumed by the verifier and the mvp-phase command.
* chore(changeset): set PR number for mvp concept cleanup
* feat(mvp): centralize resolution surfaces + fix SDK roadmap mode parity (#3178)
Three new SDK query verbs replace the architectural duplication surfaced by
the v1.50.0-canary.2 review against dev tip 12c4e565:
phase.mvp-mode <N> [--cli-flag]
Single canonical precedence resolver (CLI flag -> ROADMAP **Mode:** mvp
-> workflow.mvp_mode config -> false). Replaces 4-8 lines of bash that
were duplicated across plan-phase.md, execute-phase.md, verify-work.md,
and progress.md. Returns {active, source, roadmap_mode, config_mvp_mode,
cli_flag_present}.
task.is-behavior-adding <plan-file> | --task-content <xml>
Behavior-Adding Task predicate (tdd="true" + <behavior> block + non-test
source files in <files>). Replaces prose-only specification in
references/execute-mvp-tdd.md; gsd-executor agent now invokes the verb
instead of re-inlining the three checks. Returns {is_behavior_adding,
checks, reason}.
user-story.validate <text> | --story <text>
Owns the canonical User Story regex /^As a .+, I want to .+, so that .+\.$/
previously hardcoded in verify-work.md prose. Consumed by gsd-verifier
(phase-goal guard) and /gsd-mvp-phase (interactive-prompt validation).
Returns {valid, slots: {role, capability, outcome}, errors[]}.
Bug fix bundled: sdk/src/query/roadmap.ts searchPhaseInContent now extracts
the mode field from **Mode:**, restoring parity with roadmap.cjs:120-123.
Without this, roadmap.get-phase --pick mode returned null on the native
dispatch path even when the phase had **Mode:** mvp set, causing MVP_MODE
to silently fall through to the config/false branch in every consuming
workflow. The original PRs Phase 1 (#2885) shipped the CJS parser but the
SDK port omitted the field; this fix brings them back to parity.
Workflows + agents updated to call the verbs:
- plan-phase.md, execute-phase.md, verify-work.md, progress.md call
phase.mvp-mode (one line replaces the duplicated bash chains).
- execute-phase.md MVP+TDD gate calls task.is-behavior-adding.
- verify-work.md goal guard calls user-story.validate.
- mvp-phase.md interactive prompt validates via user-story.validate.
- gsd-executor agent references task.is-behavior-adding instead of prose.
- gsd-verifier agent references user-story.validate instead of inlined regex.
Tests: 24 new vitest tests in sdk/src/query/mvp.test.ts cover all three
verbs + the regression. Two existing contract tests (progress, verify)
updated to assert on the new verb shape. All 60 existing MVP contract
tests pass; golden integration suite (38 + 42 tests) passes.
Closes#3177
* fix(canary.2): unblock release gates for v1.50.0-canary.2
Run 25451329660 (Release SDK Bundle on dev, 2026-05-06T17:41) failed at the
test-suite step with 3 deterministic content/structure gate failures, all
attributable to the MVP umbrella integration in #3178 and the docs sweep
in #3180.
Failure 1: /gsd-mvp-phase undocumented in workflows/help.md
- tests/bug-2954-help-md-slash-command-stubs.test.cjs requires every
shipped commands/gsd/<X>.md to have a /gsd-<X> mention in help.md
- PR #3180 updated docs/COMMANDS.md but missed help.md (which the AI
agents load in-product)
- Fix: add a /gsd-mvp-phase entry to help.md right before /gsd-plan-phase
Failures 2 + 3: execute-phase.md (1727) and plan-phase.md (1714) over XL budget (1700)
- PR #3178 added MVP-mode verb calls (phase.mvp-mode, task.is-behavior-adding,
user-story.validate) to both workflow files, pushing them past 1700 lines
- Fix: bump XL_BUDGET 1700 -> 1800 with inline comment pointing at the
structural follow-up (extract MVP bodies to <workflow>/modes/mvp.md per
the discuss-phase/modes/ precedent)
- The structural extract is the right long-term fix but is bigger than
canary unblock scope; will land in a follow-up after canary cycles
Local verification:
$ node --test tests/bug-2954-help-md-slash-command-stubs.test.cjs tests/workflow-size-budget.test.cjs
tests 111 pass 111 fail 0
After this lands, re-trigger Release SDK Bundle on dev for v1.50.0-canary.2.

When config.runtime === 'codex' or GSD_RUNTIME=codex, override the

Fixes both the CJS (gsd-tools) and SDK (profile-output.ts) paths.
Explicit --output flags are still honoured in both paths.

* fix(plan-phase): remove agent: directive that caused OpenCode subagent dispatch
On OpenCode, any command with `agent: <name>` in its frontmatter is
auto-dispatched to a subagent context where the Agent tool is unavailable.
plan-phase.md and mvp-phase.md both carried `agent: gsd-planner`, causing
them to run inside gsd-planner's subagent context with no ability to spawn
researcher/planner/checker subagents — the orchestrator fell back to inline
execution for all three phases.
Fix: remove `agent: gsd-planner` from both command files so they run in the
main agent context. Also replace the stale `Task` tool in allowed-tools with
`Agent` (the correct dispatcher tool name post-#3168 rename).
Adds a structural regression test that parses YAML frontmatter of every
commands/gsd/*.md file and asserts no command carries an `agent:` directive.

CRITICAL/MANDATORY/ALWAYS/MUST emphasis was systematically removed in

* fix(changeset+test): fix pr field to 3138, wrap readFileSync in try/catch
* fix(#2767): pass paths via --files to gsd-sdk query commit + lint guard
Workflows, agents, commands, and references passed file paths positionally
to `gsd-sdk query commit`, which silently appended them to the commit
subject and triggered the `.planning/` wholesale-stage fallback in
sdk/src/query/commit.ts:136. Regression of #733/#798.
Inserted `--files` before the path list at every site (81 invocations
across 50 files). Added tests/bug-2767-gsd-sdk-commit-files-flag.test.cjs
as a permanent lint that scans every shipped .md file and asserts each
`gsd-sdk query commit[-to-subrepo]` invocation either uses `--files` or
carries no path arguments.
Closes#2767
* test(#2767): replace source-grep with behavioral SDK test
The original test walked every shipped .md file and regex-tokenized
`gsd-sdk query commit` invocations to assert `--files` was present.
CONTRIBUTING.md prohibits this source-grep pattern.
Rewrite as behavioral SDK tests against `sdk/dist/cli.js` over a real
tmp git project (createTempGitProject helper). Cover both the
well-formed (`--files <paths>`) form — clean subject, exactly-staged
files, .planning/ left untouched — and the buggy positional form,
asserting the documented misbehavior (paths leak into subject + the
`.planning/` wholesale-stage fallback at commit.ts:136). Also asserts
`commit-to-subrepo` rejects when `--files` is omitted (commit.ts:258).
The doc-lint is retained as a supplementary defense-in-depth guard
since agent-prompt markdown invocations cannot be exercised end-to-end
— but it is no longer the primary contract.
* docs(#2767): correct contradictory --files guidance in zh-CN/en docs + fix test docstring
* feat(plan-phase): chunked mode + filesystem fallback for Windows stdio hang (#2310)
Addresses the 2026-04-16 Windows incident where gsd-planner wrote all 5
PLAN.md files to disk but Task() never returned, hanging the orchestrator
for 30+ minutes. Two mitigations:
1. Filesystem fallback (steps 9a, 11a): when Task() returns with an
empty/truncated response but PLAN.md files exist on disk, surface a
recoverable prompt (Accept plans / Retry planner / Stop) instead of
silently failing. Directly addresses the post-restart recovery path.
2. Chunked mode (--chunked flag / workflow.plan_chunked config): splits the
single long-lived planner Task into a short outline Task (~2 min) followed
by N short per-plan Tasks (~3-5 min each). Each plan is committed
individually for crash resilience. A hang loses one plan, not all of them.
Resume detection skips plans already on disk on re-run.
RCA confirmed: task state mtime 14:29 vs PLAN.md writes 14:32-14:52 =
subagent completed normally, IPC return was dropped by Windows stdio deadlock.
Neither mitigation fixes the root cause (requires upstream Task() timeout
support); both bound damage and enable recovery.
New reference file planner-chunked.md keeps OUTLINE COMPLETE / PLAN COMPLETE
return formats out of gsd-planner.md (which sits at 46K near its size limit).

making `mcp__context7__*` declarations in agent frontmatter completely inert.
Implements Fix 2 from issue #1885 (trek-e's chosen approach): replace the
`<mcp_tool_usage>` block in gsd-executor and gsd-planner with a
`<documentation_lookup>` block that checks for MCP availability first, then
falls back to the Context7 CLI via Bash (`npx --yes ctx7@latest`). Adds the
same `<documentation_lookup>` block to the six researcher agents that declare
MCP tools but lacked any fallback instruction.
Agents fixed (8 total):
- gsd-executor (had <mcp_tool_usage>, now <documentation_lookup> with CLI fallback)
- gsd-planner (had <mcp_tool_usage>, now compact <documentation_lookup>; stays under 45K limit)
- gsd-phase-researcher (new <documentation_lookup> block)
- gsd-project-researcher (new <documentation_lookup> block)
- gsd-ui-researcher (new <documentation_lookup> block)
- gsd-advisor-researcher (new <documentation_lookup> block)
- gsd-ai-researcher (new <documentation_lookup> block)
- gsd-domain-researcher (new <documentation_lookup> block)
When the upstream Claude Code bug is fixed, the MCP path in step 1 of the block
will become active automatically — no agent changes needed.

* feat(agents): auto-inject relevant global learnings into planner context
* fix(agents): address review feedback for learnings planner injection
- Add features.global_learnings to VALID_CONFIG_KEYS for explicit validation
- Fix error message in cmdConfigSet to mention features.<feature_name> pattern
- Clarify tag syntax in planner injection step (frontmatter tags or objective keywords)
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
Closes#1722

* 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

* test: add failing tests for planner modular decomposition
- Assert gsd-planner.md is under 45K after extraction (currently ~50K)
- Assert three reference files exist (gap-closure, revision, reviews)
- Assert planner contains reference pointers to each extracted file
- Assert each reference file contains key content from the original mode
* feat(agents): modular decomposition of gsd-planner.md to fix 50K char limit
Extracts three non-standard mode sections from gsd-planner.md into dedicated
reference files loaded on-demand, and calibrates the security scanner to use
a per-file-type threshold (100K for agent source files vs 50K for user input).
Structural changes:
- Extract <gap_closure_mode> → get-shit-done/references/planner-gap-closure.md
- Extract <revision_mode> → get-shit-done/references/planner-revision.md
- Extract <reviews_mode> → get-shit-done/references/planner-reviews.md
- Add <load_mode_context> step in execution_flow (conditional lazy loading)
- gsd-planner.md: 50,112 → 45,352 chars (well under new 45K target)
Security scanner fix:
- Split agent file check: injection patterns (unchanged) + separate 100K size limit
- The 50K strict-mode limit was designed for user-supplied input, not trusted source files
- Agent files still have a size guard to catch accidental bloat
Partially addresses #1495
* fix(tests): normalize CRLF before measuring planner file size
Windows git checkouts add \r per line, inflating String.length by ~1150 chars
for a 1,400-line file. The 45K threshold test failed on windows-latest because
45,352 chars (Linux) became 46,507 chars (Windows). Apply the same CRLF
normalization pattern used in tests/reachability-check.test.cjs.

* fix: trim gsd-planner.md below 50000-char limit after rebase
The reachability_check addition pushed the file to 50,275 chars when

* fix(security): normalize CRLF before prompt-stuffing length check
On Windows, git checks out files with CRLF line endings. JavaScript's
String.length counts \r characters, so a 49,859-byte file measures as
51,126 chars on Windows — falsely tripping the 50,000-char security
scanner. Normalize CRLF → LF before measuring in security.cjs and in
the reachability-check test.

* fix(agents): explicitly instruct agents to use available MCP tools
GSD executor and planner agents were not mentioning available MCP servers
in their task instructions, causing subagents to skip Context7 and other
configured MCP tools even when available.
Closes#1388
* fix(tests): make copilot executor tool assertion dynamic
Hardcoded tools: ['read', 'edit', 'execute', 'search'] assertion broke
when mcp__context7__* was added to gsd-executor.md frontmatter. Replace
with per-tool presence checks so adding new tools never breaks the test.

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.

gsd-tools detects plan files by matching the glob `*-PLAN.md`
(e.g. 01-01-PLAN.md). When the planner generates files using a
different convention — wave-based names, wrong prefix order, or
lowercase — the tool returns plan_count: 0 and execution cannot
proceed.
Root cause: the write_phase_prompt step only said
"Write to .../XX-name/{phase}-{NN}-PLAN.md" — ambiguous enough
for the agent to produce PLAN-01-auth.md, 01-PLAN-01.md, etc.
Observed across real usage (306 sessions analyzed):
- Phases 2, 3, 4: plan files used wave-based names instead of the
numeric format gsd-tools expects; required manual detection and
adaptation before execution could proceed each time
- gsd-tools roadmap get-phase failed on Phase 3 due to format
mismatch; Claude fell back to parsing ROADMAP.md manually
- Naming mismatch caused friction in at least 4 separate sessions,
each requiring a manual workaround
Fix: add a CRITICAL naming block in write_phase_prompt with the
exact required pattern, component definitions, correct/incorrect
examples, and explicit ❌ markers for variants that break detection.

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.

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

When gsd-tools init output exceeds 50KB, core.cjs writes to a temp file
and outputs @file:<path>. No workflow handled this prefix, causing agents
to hallucinate /tmp paths that fail on Windows (C:\tmp doesn't exist).
Add @file: resolution line after every INIT=$(node ...) call across all
32 workflow, agent, and reference files.

The "depth" setting with values quick/standard/comprehensive implied
investigation thoroughness, but it only controls phase count. Renamed to
"granularity" with values coarse/standard/fine to accurately reflect what
it controls: how finely scope is sliced into phases.
Includes backward-compatible migration in loadConfig and config-ensure
that auto-renames depth→granularity with value mapping in both
.planning/config.json and ~/.gsd/defaults.json.

Gap closure plans hardcode wave: 1 and depends_on: [], bypassing the
standard wave assignment logic. When multiple gap closure plans have
dependencies between them, they all land in wave 1 and execute in
parallel — ignoring dependency ordering. Add an explicit wave
computation step using the same assign_waves algorithm as standard
planning.

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.

Claude Code subagents sometimes rewrite ~/. paths to relative paths,

- 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)
and `~/.claude/skills/` (user-level). The `.agents/skills/` path is the
universal/IDE-agnostic convention that Claude Code does not resolve, causing
project skills to be silently ignored by all affected agents and workflows.

Tighten all requirements references to use MUST/REQUIRED/CRITICAL language
instead of passive suggestions. Close the verification loop by extracting
phase requirement IDs from ROADMAP and passing them through the full chain:
researcher receives IDs → planner writes to PLAN frontmatter → executor

orphan detection.
