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.

* fix(#2636): surface gsd-sdk query failures and add workflow↔handler parity check
Root cause: workflows invoked `gsd-sdk query agent-skills <slug>` with a
trailing `2>/dev/null`, swallowing stderr and exit code. When the installed
`@gsd-build/sdk` npm was stale (pre-query), the call resolved to an empty
string and `agent_skills.<slug>` config was never injected into spawn
prompts — silently. The handler exists on main (sdk/src/query/skills.ts),
so this is a publish-drift + silent-fallback bug, not a missing handler.
Fix:
- Remove bare `2>/dev/null` from every `gsd-sdk query agent-skills …`
invocation in workflows so SDK failures surface to stderr.
- Apply the same rule to other no-fallback calls (audit-open, write-profile,
generate-* profile handlers, frontmatter.get in commands). Best-effort
cleanup calls (config-set workflow._auto_chain_active false) keep
exit-code forgiveness via `|| true` but no longer suppress stderr.
Parity tests:
- New: tests/bug-2636-gsd-sdk-query-silent-swallow.test.cjs — fails if any
`gsd-sdk query agent-skills … 2>/dev/null` is reintroduced.
- Existing: tests/gsd-sdk-query-registry-integration.test.cjs already
asserts every workflow noun resolves to a registered handler; confirmed
passing post-change.
Note: npm republish of @gsd-build/sdk is a separate release concern and is
not included in this PR.
* fix(#2636): address review — restore broken markdown fences and shell syntax
The previous commit's mass removal of '2>/dev/null' suffixes also
collapsed adjacent closing code fences and 'fi' tokens onto the
command line, producing malformed markdown blocks and 'truefi' /
'true fi' shell syntax errors in the workflows.
Repaired sites:
- commands/gsd/quick.md, thread.md (frontmatter.get fences)
- workflows/complete-milestone.md (audit-open fence)
- workflows/profile-user.md (write-profile + generate-* fences)
- workflows/verify-work.md (audit-open --json fence)
- workflows/execute-phase.md (truefi -> true / fi)
- workflows/plan-phase.md, discuss-phase-assumptions.md,
discuss-phase/modes/chain.md (true fi -> true / fi)
All 5450 tests pass.
* fix(workflows): agent-skills query keys must match subagent_type
Eight workflow files called `gsd-sdk query agent-skills <KEY>` with
a key that did not match any `subagent_type` Task() spawns in the
same workflow (or any existing `agents/<KEY>.md`):
- research-phase.md:45 — gsd-researcher → gsd-phase-researcher
- plan-phase.md:36 — gsd-researcher → gsd-phase-researcher
- plan-phase.md:38 — gsd-checker → gsd-plan-checker
- quick.md:145 — gsd-checker → gsd-plan-checker
- verify-work.md:36 — gsd-checker → gsd-plan-checker
- new-milestone.md:207 — gsd-synthesizer → gsd-research-synthesizer
- new-project.md:63 — gsd-synthesizer → gsd-research-synthesizer
- ui-review.md:21 — gsd-ui-reviewer → gsd-ui-auditor
- discuss-phase.md:114 — gsd-advisor → gsd-advisor-researcher
Effect before this fix: users configuring `agent_skills.<correct-type>`
in .planning/config.json got no injection on these paths because the
workflow asked the SDK for a different (non-existent) key. The SDK
correctly returned "" for the unknown key, which then interpolated as
an empty string into the Task() prompt. Silent no-op.
The discuss-phase advisor case is a subtle variant — the spawn site
uses `subagent_type="general-purpose"` and loads the agent role via
`Read(~/.claude/agents/gsd-advisor-researcher.md)`. The injection key
must follow the agent identity (gsd-advisor-researcher), not the
technical spawn type.
This is a follow-up to #2555 — the SDK-side fix in that PR (#2587)
only becomes fully effective once the call sites use the right keys.
Adds `sdk/src/workflow-agent-skills-consistency.test.ts` as a
contract test: every `agent-skills <slug>` invocation in
`get-shit-done/workflows/**/*.md` must reference an existing
`agents/<slug>.md`. Fails loudly on future key typos.
Closes#2615
* test: harden workflow agent-skills regex per review feedback
Review (#2616): CodeRabbit flagged the `agent-skills <slug>` pattern
as too permissive (can match prose mentions of the string) and the
per-line scan as brittle (misses commands wrapped across lines).
- Require full `gsd-sdk query agent-skills` prefix before capture
+ `\b` around the pattern so prose references no longer match.
- Scan each file's full content (not line-by-line) so `\s+` can span
newlines; resolve 1-based line number from match index.
- Add JSDoc on helpers and on QUERY_KEY_PATTERN.
Verified: RED against base (`f30da83`) produces the same 9 violations
as before; GREEN on fixed tree.

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.

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.

After complete_session in verify-work.md, when final_status==complete and
issues==0, the workflow now executes transition.md inline (mirroring the
execute-phase pattern) to mark the phase complete in ROADMAP.md and STATE.md.
Security gate still gates the transition: if enforcement is enabled and no
SECURITY.md exists, the workflow suggests /gsd-secure-phase instead.

* 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).

* fix: migrate remaining /gsd: format to /gsd- in hooks, workflows, and sdk
Addresses remaining user-facing occurrences missed in the initial migration:

- 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

PR #1139 added <available_agent_types> sections to execute-phase.md and
plan-phase.md to prevent /clear from causing silent fallback to
general-purpose. However, 14 other workflows and 2 commands that also
spawn named GSD agents were missed, leaving them vulnerable to the same
regression after /clear.
Added <available_agent_types> listing to: research-phase, quick,
audit-milestone, diagnose-issues, discuss-phase-assumptions,
execute-plan, map-codebase, new-milestone, new-project, ui-phase,
ui-review, validate-phase, verify-work (workflows) and debug,
research-phase (commands).
Added regression test that enforces every workflow/command spawning
named subagent_type must have a matching <available_agent_types>
section listing all spawned types.

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.

Add pre-planning design contract generation and post-execution visual audit
for frontend phases. Closes the gap where execute-phase runs without a visual
contract, producing inconsistent spacing, color, and typography across components.
New agents: gsd-ui-researcher (UI-SPEC.md), gsd-ui-checker (6-dimension

Third-party shadcn registry blocks are machine-vetted at contract time,
verification time, and audit time — three enforcement points, not a checkbox.

The verifier agent interpreted {phase} as the full directory slug
(e.g., 01-foundation-target-system) instead of just the padded phase
number (01), producing wrong filenames like

Changed all {phase}-*.md references to {phase_num}-*.md to match the
convention used in gsd-tools.js (${padded}-VERIFICATION.md).

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

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).

* 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
