When GSD agents are not installed in .claude/agents/, Task(subagent_type="gsd-*")
silently falls back to general-purpose, losing specialized instructions, structured
outputs, and verification protocols.
What changed:
- Added checkAgentsInstalled() to core.cjs that validates all expected agents exist on disk
- All init commands now include agents_installed and missing_agents in their output
- Health check (validate health) reports W010 when agents are missing or incomplete
- New validate agents subcommand for standalone agent installation diagnostics
Fixes#1371

cmdStateBeginPhase replaced the entire ## Current Position section with only
Phase and Plan lines, destroying Status, Last activity, and Progress fields.
cmdStateAdvancePlan then failed to update these fields since they no longer
existed.
Now begin-phase updates individual lines within Current Position instead of
replacing the whole section. Also adds updateCurrentPositionFields helper so
advance-plan keeps the Current Position body in sync with bold frontmatter
fields.

Add agent_skills config section that maps agent types to skill directory
paths. At spawn time, workflows load configured skills and inject them
as <agent_skills> blocks in Task() prompts, giving subagents access to
project-specific skill files.

When cwd is a git repo inside a GSD workspace, findProjectRoot() walked
up and returned the workspace parent (which also has .planning/) instead
of the cwd itself. This caused all init commands to resolve project_root
to the workspace root, making phase/roadmap lookups fail with "Phase not
found" errors.
The fix adds an early return: if startDir already contains a .planning/
directory, it is the project root — no need to walk up to a parent.
Fixes#1362

The parser hardcoded 4/6/8/10-space indent levels for must_haves
sub-blocks, but standard YAML uses 2-space indentation. This caused
"No must_haves.key_links found in frontmatter" for valid plan files.
The fix dynamically detects the actual indent of must_haves: and its
sub-blocks instead of assuming fixed column positions.

The original PR (#1337) used \Z in a JavaScript regex, which is a
Perl/Python/Ruby anchor — JavaScript interprets it as a literal match
for the character 'Z', silently truncating expected text containing
that letter. Replace with a two-pass approach: try next-key lookahead
first, fall back to greedy match to end-of-string.
Also remove the redundant `to=all:` pattern in sanitizeForDisplay()
since it is a subset of the existing `to=[^:\s]+:` pattern.
Add regression tests proving the Z-truncation bug and verifying
expected blocks at end-of-section parse correctly.

Address 4 root causes of Windows + Claude Code reliability issues:
1. Workflow shell robustness: add || true guards to informational commands
(ls, grep, find, cat) that return non-zero on "no results", preventing
workflow step failures under strict execution models. Guard glob loops
with [ -e "$var" ] || continue to handle empty glob expansion.
2. Hook stdin handling: replace readFileSync('/dev/stdin') with async
process.stdin + timeout in agent templates (gsd-verifier.md). Existing
JS hooks already have timeout guards.
3. project_root detection: fix isInsideGitRepo() to check .git at the
candidate parent level (not just below it), enabling correct detection
when .git and .planning/ are siblings at the same directory level —
the common single-repo case from a subdirectory.
4. @file: handoff: add missing @file: handlers to autonomous.md and
manager.md workflows that call gsd-tools init but lacked the handler
for large output payloads.

The code/package detection in cmdInitNewProject only recognized 7 file
extensions and 5 package files, missing Android (Kotlin + Gradle), Flutter
(Dart + pubspec.yaml), C/C++, C#, Ruby, PHP, Scala, and others. This caused
new-project to treat brownfield projects in those ecosystems as greenfield,
skipping the codebase mapping step.
Added 18 code extensions and 11 package/build files to the detection lists.

`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

resolveWorktreeRoot() unconditionally resolved linked worktrees to the main
repo root. When a linked worktree has its own independent .planning/ directory
(e.g., Conductor workspaces), all GSD commands read/wrote the wrong planning
state. Add an early return that checks for a local .planning/ before falling
through to main repo resolution.
The caller in gsd-tools.cjs already had this guard (added in #1283), but the
function itself should be correct regardless of call site. This is defense-in-
depth for any future callers.

Three non-blocking findings from the adversarial re-review of the
workstream namespacing PR, addressed as a follow-up:
1. setActiveWorkstream now validates names with the same regex used
at CLI entry and cmdWorkstreamSet — defense-in-depth so future
callers can't poison the active-workstream file
2. Replaced tautological test assertion (result.success || !result.success
was always true) with actual validation that cmdWorkstreamSet returns
invalid_name error for path traversal attempts. Added 8 new tests
for setActiveWorkstream's own validation.
3. Updated stale comment in copilot-install.test.cjs (said 31, actual 56)

- core.cjs: add filterPlanFiles, filterSummaryFiles, getPhaseFileStats,
readSubdirectories helpers; use them in searchPhaseInDir and getArchivedPhaseDirs
- gsd-tools.cjs: add parseNamedArgs() helper; replace ~50 repetitive indexOf/ternary
patterns in state record-metric, add-decision, add-blocker, record-session,
begin-phase, signal-waiting, template fill, and frontmatter subcommands
- phase.cjs: decompose 250-line cmdPhaseRemove into renameDecimalPhases(),
renameIntegerPhases(), and updateRoadmapAfterPhaseRemoval(); import readSubdirectories
- workstream.cjs: import stateExtractField from state.cjs and shared helpers from
core.cjs; replace all inline regex state parsing and readdirSync+filter+map patterns
All 1062 tests pass.

Enable multiple Claude Code instances to work on the same codebase
simultaneously by scoping .planning/ state into workstreams.
Core changes:
- planningDir(cwd, ws?) and planningPaths(cwd, ws?) are now workstream-aware
via GSD_WORKSTREAM env var (auto-detected from --ws flag or active-workstream file)
- All bin/lib modules use planningDir(cwd) for scoped paths (STATE.md, ROADMAP.md,
phases/, REQUIREMENTS.md) and planningRoot(cwd) for shared paths (milestones/,
PROJECT.md, config.json, codebase/)
- New workstream.cjs module: create, list, status, complete, set, get, progress
- gsd-tools.cjs: --ws flag parsing with priority chain
(--ws > GSD_WORKSTREAM env > active-workstream file > flat mode)
- Collision detection: transition.md checks for other active workstreams before
suggesting next-milestone continuation (prevents WS A from trampling WS B)
- ${GSD_WS} routing propagation across all 9 workflow files ensures workstream
scope chains automatically through the workflow lifecycle
New files:
- get-shit-done/bin/lib/workstream.cjs (CRUD + collision detection)
- get-shit-done/commands/gsd/workstreams.md (slash command)
- get-shit-done/references/workstream-flag.md (documentation)
- tests/workstream.test.cjs (20 tests covering CRUD, env var routing, --ws flag)
All 1062 tests passing (1042 existing + 20 new workstream tests).

When enabled, /gsd:autonomous chains directly from plan-phase to execute-phase,
skipping smart discuss. A minimal CONTEXT.md is auto-generated from the ROADMAP
phase goal so downstream agents have valid input. Manual /gsd:discuss-phase still
works regardless of the setting.
Changes:
- config.cjs: add workflow.skip_discuss to VALID_CONFIG_KEYS and hardcoded defaults (false)
- autonomous.md: check workflow.skip_discuss before smart_discuss, write minimal CONTEXT.md when skipping
- settings.md: add Skip Discuss toggle to interactive settings UI and global defaults
- config.test.cjs: 6 regression tests for the new config key

Add --pick flag to gsd-tools.cjs for extracting a single field from
JSON output, replacing all jq pipe usage across workflow and reference
files. Since Node.js is already a hard dependency, this eliminates the
need for jq on systems where it is not installed (notably Windows).
Changes:
- gsd-tools.cjs: add --pick <field> global flag with dot-notation and
bracket syntax support (e.g., --pick section, --pick directories[-1])
- Replace 15 jq pipe patterns across 6 workflow/reference files with
--pick flag or inline Node.js one-liner for variable extraction
- Add regression tests for --pick flag behavior

The discuss-phase command file contained a 93-line detailed <process>
block that competed with the actual workflow file. The agent treated
this summary as complete instructions and never read the execution_context
files (discuss-phase.md, discuss-phase-assumptions.md, context.md template).
Root cause: Unlike execute-phase and plan-phase commands (which have short
2-line process blocks deferring to the workflow file), discuss-phase had
inline step-by-step instructions detailed enough to act on without reading
the referenced workflow files.
Changes:
- Replace discuss-phase command's <process> block with a short directive
that forces reading the workflow file, matching execute-phase/plan-phase
pattern
- Add MANDATORY instruction that execution_context files ARE the
instructions, not optional reading
- Register workflow.research_before_questions and workflow.discuss_mode
as valid config keys (were missing from VALID_CONFIG_KEYS)
- Fix config key mismatch: workflows referenced "research_questions"
but documented key is "workflow.research_before_questions"
- Move research_before_questions from hooks section to workflow section
in settings workflow
- Add research_before_questions default to config template and builder
- Add suggestion mapping for deprecated hooks.research_questions key
- Add 6 regression tests covering config keys and process block guard

Fixes from trek-e's review on PR #1282:
1. Add missing withProjectRoot() wrapper on output — all other cmdInit*
functions include project_root in JSON, manager was the only one without it.
2. Add getMilestonePhaseFilter() to directory scan — prevents stale phase
directories from prior milestones appearing as phantom dashboard entries.
3. Replace hardcoded .planning/ paths with planningPaths(cwd) — forward
compatibility with workstream scoping (#1268).
4. Add 3 new tests:
- Conflict filter blocks dependent phase execution when dep is active
- Conflict filter allows independent phase execution in parallel
- Output includes project_root field

When running GSD from a monorepo subdirectory inside a git worktree,
resolveWorktreeRoot() resolved to the worktree root, discarding the
subdirectory where .planning/ lives. All commands failed with
"No ROADMAP.md found" even though the planning structure existed.
Now check if CWD already contains .planning/ before worktree
resolution. If it does, the CWD is already the correct project root
and worktree resolution is skipped.

Add /gsd:manager — a single-terminal dashboard for managing milestones.
Shows all phases with visual status indicators (D/P/E columns), computes
recommended next actions, and dispatches discuss inline while plan/execute
run as background agents.
Key behaviors:
- Recommendation engine prioritizes execute > plan > discuss
- Filters parallel execute/plan when phases share dependency chains
- Independent phases (no direct or transitive dep relationship) CAN
run in parallel — dependent phases are serialized
- Dashboard shows compact Deps column for at-a-glance dependency view
- Sliding window limits discuss to one phase at a time
- Activity detection via file mtime (5-min window) for is_active flag
New files:
- commands/gsd/manager.md — skill definition
- get-shit-done/workflows/manager.md — full workflow spec
- get-shit-done/bin/lib/init.cjs — cmdInitManager() with phase parsing,
dependency graph traversal, and recommendation filtering
- get-shit-done/bin/gsd-tools.cjs — route 'init manager' to new command
- tests/init-manager.test.cjs — 16 tests covering status detection,
deps, sliding window, recommendations, and edge cases

When branching_strategy is "phase" or "milestone", the branch was only
created during execute-phase — but discuss-phase, plan-phase, and
new-milestone all commit artifacts before that, landing them on main.
Move branch creation into cmdCommit() so the strategy branch is created
at the first commit point in any workflow. execute-phase's existing
handle_branching step becomes a harmless no-op (checkout existing branch).

Extend resolve_model_ids to accept "omit" value: returns empty string
so non-Claude runtimes (OpenCode, Codex, Gemini, etc.) use their
configured default model instead of unresolvable Claude aliases.
- resolve_model_ids: "omit" short-circuits before alias resolution
- model_overrides still respected (checked first) for explicit IDs
- Installer sets resolve_model_ids: "omit" in ~/.gsd/defaults.json
for non-Claude runtimes during install
- 4 new tests covering omit behavior and override passthrough
- Fix websearch test mocks for fs.writeSync output change (#1276)

process.stdout.write() is async when stdout is a pipe. The
immediate process.exit(0) tears down the process before the
downstream reader (jq, python3, etc) consumes the buffer,
producing truncated JSON.
Replace with fs.writeSync(1, data) which blocks until the
kernel pipe buffer accepts the bytes, and drop process.exit(0)
on the success path so the event loop drains naturally.

Three new commands for managing isolated GSD workspaces:
- /gsd:new-workspace — create workspace with repo worktrees/clones
- /gsd:list-workspaces — scan ~/gsd-workspaces/ for active workspaces
- /gsd:remove-workspace — clean up workspace and git worktrees
Supports both multi-repo orchestration (subset of repos from a parent
directory) and feature branch isolation (worktree of current repo with
independent .planning/).
Includes init functions, command routing, workflows, 24 tests, and
user documentation.

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.

core.cjs output() created gsd-*.json files in /tmp for large payloads
but never cleaned them up, causing unbounded disk usage (800+ GB
reported in #1251). Similarly, profile-pipeline.cjs created
gsd-pipeline-* and gsd-profile-* temp directories without cleanup.
Adds reapStaleTempFiles() that removes gsd-prefixed temp files/dirs
older than 5 minutes. Called opportunistically before each new temp
file/dir creation. Non-critical — cleanup failures never break output.

syncStateFrontmatter() rebuilds YAML frontmatter from the body on every
writeStateMd() call. If an agent removes or omits the Status: field from
the body, buildStateFrontmatter() defaults to 'unknown', overwriting a
previously valid status (e.g., 'executing').
Fix: read existing frontmatter before stripping, and preserve its status
value when the body-derived status would be 'unknown'. This makes
frontmatter self-healing — once a status is set, it persists even if the
body loses the field.

ensureConfigFile(): keep our refactored version that delegates to
buildNewProjectConfig({}) instead of upstream's duplicated logic.
buildNewProjectConfig(): add firecrawl and exa_search API key
detection alongside existing brave_search, matching upstream's
new integrations.
loadConfig() defaulted commit_docs to true regardless of whether
.planning/ was gitignored. The documented auto-detection only existed
inside cmdCommit, so init commands returned commit_docs: true even
when .planning/ was in .gitignore. This caused LLM executors to
bypass the cmdCommit gate and re-commit planning files with raw git.
Now loadConfig() checks isGitIgnored(cwd, '.planning/') when no
explicit commit_docs value is set in config.json. If .planning/ is
gitignored, commit_docs defaults to false. An explicit commit_docs
value in config.json is always respected.
Added 5 regression tests covering auto-detection, explicit overrides,
and the no-config-file edge case.
cmdInitPlanPhase, cmdInitExecutePhase, and cmdInitVerifyWork returned
phase_found: false when the phase existed in ROADMAP.md but no phase
directory had been created yet. This caused workflows to fail silently
after /gsd:new-project, producing directories named null-null.
cmdInitPhaseOp (used by discuss-phase) already had a ROADMAP fallback.
Applied the same pattern to the three missing commands: when
findPhaseInternal returns null, fall back to getRoadmapPhaseInternal
and construct phaseInfo from the ROADMAP entry.
Added 5 regression tests covering:
- plan-phase ROADMAP fallback
- execute-phase ROADMAP fallback
- verify-work ROADMAP fallback
- phase_found false when neither directory nor ROADMAP entry exists
- disk directory preferred over ROADMAP fallback
