Workflows were calling init commands to get parsed JSON metadata, then
immediately reading the same files again with cat to pass raw content
to agents. This wastes context tokens.
Changes:
- Add --include flag to init execute-phase, plan-phase, and progress
- Support includes: state, config, roadmap, requirements, context,
research, verification, uat, project
- Update plan-phase.md to use --include (removes 6 cat calls)
- Update execute-phase.md to use --include (removes 2 cat calls)
- Update execute-plan.md to use --include (removes 2 cat calls)
- Update progress.md to use --include (removes 4 cat calls)
- Add 7 tests for --include functionality
Token savings: ~5,000-10,000 tokens per plan-phase execution,
~1,500-3,000 per other workflow executions.

Add three new commands that extract structured data from GSD files,
reducing context usage by returning only parsed fields instead of
raw file content:
- phase-plan-index: Plans grouped by wave with metadata (id, wave,
autonomous, objective, files_modified, task_count, has_summary)
- state-snapshot: Parsed STATE.md fields (current phase, decisions,
blockers, session info)
- summary-extract: Frontmatter extraction with optional --fields filter
Update workflows to use new commands:
- execute-phase: Use phase-plan-index instead of ls + grep loop
- plan-phase: Use state-snapshot for decisions
- research-phase: Use state-snapshot for decisions
- complete-milestone: Use summary-extract for one-liners

Reverts af7a057 "feat: add GSD Memory cross-project knowledge system"
The memory system needs more work before shipping:
- Workflow integration is incomplete (writes but doesn't query)
- UX requires too much manual intervention
- Setup friction exceeds value for most users
Preserved on branch `memory-wip` for continued development.

Executor self-check after SUMMARY.md creation verifies key-files exist
on disk and commit hashes exist in git log. Orchestrator spot-checks
SUMMARY claims before trusting and proceeding to next wave. Segmented
execution (execute-plan.md) gets the same self-check inline.
- Add "Squash merge" as recommended option at complete-milestone
- Keep "Merge with history" (--no-ff) as alternative
- Document merge options in planning-config reference
Improves on #298 based on community feedback from @oojacoboo.

Add configurable git branching with three strategies:
- none (default): commit to current branch
- phase: create branch per phase (gsd/phase-{N}-{slug})
- milestone: create branch per milestone (gsd/{version}-{slug})
Changes:
- planning-config.md: add git.branching_strategy and templates
- execute-phase.md: handle branch creation based on strategy
- settings.md: add branching strategy to settings UI
- complete-milestone.md: handle branch merging at milestone end
Standardize on *-CONTEXT.md glob pattern to match files like
03-CONTEXT.md across all workflows.
Files updated:
- commands/gsd/plan-phase.md
- commands/gsd/research-phase.md
- get-shit-done/workflows/discuss-phase.md
- get-shit-done/workflows/resume-project.md
Closes#219

Trim redundant documentation while preserving actionable instructions.
-173 lines of prose that restated what templates already show.
Kept: size constraints, mandatory fields, security guidance.
Removed: "when to create/read/update" lifecycle prose, section
descriptions that duplicate template structure.

- /gsd:query-intel command
- gsd-intel-index.js, gsd-intel-session.js, gsd-intel-prune.js hooks
- gsd-entity-generator, gsd-indexer agents
- entity.md template
- sql.js dependency
Preserved:
- Model profiles feature

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).
Closes#160

* feat: add uncommitted planning mode
Add config option to keep planning docs local-only (not committed to git).
Useful for OSS contributions, client projects, or keeping planning private.
Config options in .planning/config.json:
- planning.commit_docs: true/false (default: true)
- planning.search_gitignored: true/false (default: false)
When commit_docs=false:
- All git operations for .planning/ files are skipped
- User should add .planning/ to .gitignore
- Planning system works normally, just not tracked
Updated files:
- config.json template: added planning section
- execute-plan.md: conditional git commits
- execute-phase.md: conditional git commits
- create-roadmap.md: conditional git commits
- help.md: documented new config options
- planning-config.md: reference doc for config behavior

* feat: extend commit_docs check to all agents/commands/workflows
Add COMMIT_PLANNING_DOCS config check to all files that commit
.planning/ artifacts, ensuring consistent behavior when
commit_docs=false is set in config.json.
Updated:
- 5 agents (planner, executor, debugger, phase-researcher, synthesizer)
- 8 commands (add-todo, check-todos, execute-phase, new-milestone,
pause-work, plan-milestone-gaps, remove-phase, research-project)
- 7 workflows (complete-milestone, create-milestone, define-requirements,
diagnose-issues, discuss-phase, map-codebase, verify-work)

* fix(progress): use Bash instead of Glob for .planning/ check
Glob respects .gitignore, so projects with gitignored .planning/
directories would fail with "No planning structure found."

* fix(new-milestone): integrate full research/requirements/roadmap flow
Previously routed to non-existent /gsd:research-project and
/gsd:define-requirements commands. Now handles the full flow inline
like new-project does:
- Phase 7: Research Decision (spawns 4 milestone-aware researchers)
- Phase 8: Define Requirements (scopes features, creates REQUIREMENTS.md)
- Phase 9: Create Roadmap (continues phase numbering from previous milestone)
- Phase 10: Done
Key adaptations for milestones:
- Research focuses on NEW features only
- Requirements add to existing, don't start fresh
- Phase numbering continues from previous milestone

Remove mentions of non-existent gsd-researcher agent from
discovery-phase.md and fix step numbering.
The agent was removed/renamed but the workflow still referenced
its "verification protocols".
Add proper @-references to three reference files that existed
but were never loaded:
- git-integration.md -> execute-plan.md
- continuation-format.md -> resume-project.md
- verification-patterns.md -> verify-phase.md
After verify-work diagnoses issues and creates fix plans, the next
command now explicitly signals intent with --gaps-only. This eliminates
redundant state discovery where execute-phase had to figure out why it
was being asked to run on an already-complete phase.

Commands with <offer_next> sections were outputting backticks literally
instead of rendering them as inline code. Removed code block wrappers
and added explicit 'Output this markdown directly' instruction.
Affected: plan-phase, execute-phase, audit-milestone
Updated routing in:
- new-project.md
- create-roadmap.md (command and workflow)
- progress.md (routes B and C)

- Remove useless "None — you decide" skip option
- Generate phase-specific gray areas based on domain analysis
(UI features, CLI tools, APIs, organization tasks, etc.)
- Increase probing depth: 4 questions per area before check
- Make context.md categories flexible (emerge from discussion)
- Add CLI and organization examples to context template

Research decisions made at roadmap creation time are:
- Premature: Can't know if research is needed before discuss-phase
- Redundant: --skip-research flag exists for explicit control
- Counterproductive: Gives Claude an excuse to skip research entirely
Removed:
- Research: Likely/Unlikely fields from roadmap template
- detect_research_needs step from create-roadmap workflow
- "If roadmap flagged Research: Likely" checks from gsd-planner
Research now always runs during plan-phase unless:
- RESEARCH.md already exists (silent reuse)
- --skip-research flag passed
- --gaps flag passed (gap closure mode)

- Analyze phase to identify gray areas by category (UI, UX, Behavior, etc.)
- Present multi-select for user to choose which areas to discuss
- Deep-dive each selected area with focused questioning loop
- Explicit scope guardrail: clarify HOW, never expand WHAT
- Capture deferred ideas without acting on them
- Downstream awareness: CONTEXT.md feeds researcher and planner agents
- Template restructured for decisions (domain, decisions, discretion, deferred)

- Replaced 868-line workflow with deprecation notice
- Points to agents/gsd-planner.md for methodology
- Documents historical content for reference
- Kept file for git history
Reduces context exhaustion during /gsd:map-codebase by having agents
write documents directly instead of returning findings to orchestrator.
- Create gsd-codebase-mapper agent with embedded templates
- Agent understands downstream consumers (plan-phase, execute-plan)
- Parameterized by focus: tech, arch, quality, concerns
- Each focus writes specific documents directly to .planning/codebase/
- Orchestrator receives only confirmation + line counts
Context savings: ~40 lines returned vs potentially thousands of lines
of exploration findings previously transferred back to orchestrator.

- Replaced 665-line workflow with 14-line redirect
- Points to agents/gsd-debugger.md for debugging expertise
- Preserves git history while marking content as moved
Unify gap handling - whether discovered by code verification or user
testing, gaps feed into the same plan-phase --gaps workflow.
Changes:
- Delete commands/gsd/plan-fix.md (redundant)
- Update verify-work to route to plan-phase --gaps
- Update progress Route E to detect UAT gaps
- Change UAT.md "Issues" section to "Gaps" with YAML format
- Extend plan-phase --gaps to read from both VERIFICATION.md and UAT.md
- Update diagnose-issues to output gaps in YAML format
- Update all references (debug, templates, workflows)
One path: gap discovered → diagnosed → plan-phase --gaps → fixed

- plan-phase workflow (domain loading)
- roadmap template (Domain Expertise section)
- phase-prompt template (domain frontmatter)
- plan-format reference (domain field)
