* 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.

* 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
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

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

AskUserQuestion is a Claude Code-only tool. When running GSD on OpenAI Codex,
Gemini CLI, or other non-Claude runtimes, the model renders the tool call as a
markdown code block instead of executing it, so the interactive TUI never
appears and the session stalls without collecting user input.
The workflow.text_mode / --text flag mechanism already handles this in 5 of
the 37 affected workflows. This commit adds the same TEXT_MODE fallback
instruction to all remaining 32 workflows so that, when text_mode is enabled,
every AskUserQuestion call is replaced with a plain-text numbered list that
any runtime can handle.

* 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

The CLI (commands.cjs, init.cjs) uses `todos/completed/` but three
workflow files and three FEATURES.md docs referenced `todos/done/`.
This caused completed todos to land in different directories depending
on whether the CLI command or the workflow instructions were followed.
Closes#1438

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.
Fixes#1343

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.

Claude Code subagents sometimes rewrite ~/. paths to relative paths,
causing MODULE_NOT_FOUND when CWD is the project directory. $HOME is a
shell variable resolved at runtime, immune to model path rewriting.

Projects with "type": "module" in package.json cause Node to treat
gsd-tools.js as ESM, crashing on require(). The .cjs extension forces
CommonJS regardless of the host project's module configuration.
