Clarifies that users can run /gsd:discuss-phase first to specify
UI/UX/behavior decisions before planning. Creates CONTEXT.md that
guides the planner. Optional if defaults are acceptable.

- Collapse 5-step flow into 4 clear phases
- Show /gsd:new-project as single ~10min initialization flow
- Document research → plan → verify loop in plan-phase
- Document parallel waves + verification in execute-phase
- Remove deprecated commands: execute-plan, research-project,
define-requirements, create-roadmap, research-phase,
list-phase-assumptions
- Reorganize commands table with Core Workflow at top
- Simplify brownfield section

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

- Split into separate steps: 1, 1.5 (optional), 2, 3, 4, 5
- Research is recommended for quality, skip only for speed
- Define-requirements is required before create-roadmap

- Add research & scope step to "How It Works" (optional but recommended)
- Update brownfield section with full optional flow
- Add research-project and define-requirements to commands
- Add research/ and REQUIREMENTS.md to context engineering table
- Split commands into 7 grouped tables for easier scanning

- Remove phantom status.md command (background agent model abandoned)
- Remove agent-history.md template (unused)
- Remove _archive/ directory
- Add narration to execute-phase (describe what's being built before/after waves)
- Update new-project to offer define-requirements as fast path
- Make define-requirements work without research (gather through questioning)

Remove the global ISSUES.md deferred enhancement tracking system.
- Delete /gsd:consider-issues command (never used)
- Delete issues.md template (never instantiated)
- Remove Rule 5 from deviation rules (never triggered)
- Remove all ISSUES.md, ISS-XXX, and "deferred issues" references
- Update STATE.md to track pending todos instead
The ISSUES.md system was designed to capture non-critical enhancements
during plan execution via "Rule 5", but it never fired in practice
across 100+ projects. The system added ~350 lines of dead code.
The /gsd:add-todo and /gsd:check-todos system serves the same purpose
and is actually used.
Note: UAT *-ISSUES.md files (per-plan, created by /gsd:verify-work)
are unaffected - those are a separate, active system.

- Fix brownfield example to use execute-phase instead of execute-plan
- Remove /gsd:resume-task command (relies on broken Task resume)
- Checkpoint continuation now uses fresh agents, not resume

execute-phase with parallel agents is the recommended path.
execute-plan is for single-plan or interactive checkpoint handling.

Clarified verification instructions for usage.
I was initially trying to get this to work in my PowerShell terminal, but later realized that the /gsd:help command became available inside Claude Code.
Adds /gsd:add-todo and /gsd:check-todos commands for capturing
ideas during work sessions without losing context.
Features:
- Capture todos from conversation context or explicit description
- Structured frontmatter (created, title, area, files)
- Area inference from file paths for grouping
- Duplicate detection before creating
- Filter todos by area
- Route to appropriate action (work now, add to phase, brainstorm)
- Git commits on capture and when starting work
Closes#48

Remove future phases from roadmap and renumber subsequent phases.
- Validates phase is unstarted (no SUMMARY.md files)
- Deletes phase directory
- Renumbers all subsequent phases (integers and decimals)
- Updates ROADMAP.md and STATE.md
- Git commit preserves historical record

- Each task commits immediately after completion (feat/fix/test/refactor)
- Plan completion commits metadata only (docs: SUMMARY + STATE + ROADMAP)
- Git history becomes primary context source for future Claude sessions
- Better bisect granularity, failure recovery, and revert capabilities
Changes:
- execute-phase.md: Added <task_commit> protocol and per-task commit flow
- execute-plan.md: Updated commit rules and success criteria
- git-integration.md: New task-completion format, strategy rationale
- tdd.md: Aligned TDD commits with standard task commit pattern
- summary.md: Added Task Commits section with commit hashes
- README.md: Rewrote git history section with atomic commit benefits
- scope-estimation.md: Clarified commit counts per plan
- principles.md: Added <atomic_commits> section explaining strategy
Each plan now produces 3-4 commits (2-3 task commits + 1 metadata commit)
instead of single monolithic commit. Optimizes observability for solo
developer + Claude Code workflow.
- Explains map-codebase as starting point
- Lists 7 codebase documents created
- Shows workflow: map → new-project → continue as normal
- Keeps it concise, doesn't repeat greenfield content
