settings.md was reading and writing .planning/config.json directly while
gsd-tools config-get/config-set route to .planning/workstreams/<slug>/config.json
when GSD_WORKSTREAM is active, causing silent write-read drift (Closes#2282).
- config.cjs: add cmdConfigPath() — emits the planningDir-resolved config path as
plain text (always raw, no JSON wrapping) so shell substitution works correctly
- gsd-tools.cjs: wire config-path subcommand
- settings.md: resolve GSD_CONFIG_PATH via config-path in ensure_and_load_config;
replace hardcoded cat .planning/config.json and Write to .planning/config.json
with $GSD_CONFIG_PATH throughout
- phase.cjs: fix renameDecimalPhases to preserve zero-padded prefix (06.3 → 06.2
not 6.2) — pre-existing test failure on main
- tests/config.test.cjs: add config-path command tests (#2282)

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.
Fixes#2012

* fix(worktree): use hard reset to correct file tree when branch base is wrong (#1981)
The worktree_branch_check mitigation detects when EnterWorktree creates
branches from main instead of the current feature branch, but used
git reset --soft to correct it. This only fixed the commit pointer —
the working tree still contained main's files, causing silent data loss
on merge-back when the agent's commits overwrote feature branch code.
Changed to git reset --hard which safely corrects both pointer and file
tree (the check runs before any agent work, so no changes to lose).
Also removed the broken rebase --onto attempt in execute-phase.md that
could replay main's commits onto the feature branch, and added post-reset
verification that aborts if the correction fails.
Updated documentation from "Windows" to "all platforms" since the
upstream EnterWorktree bug affects macOS, Linux, and Windows alike.
Closes#1981

Add a fourth model profile preset that assigns models by agent role:
opus for planning and debugging (reasoning-critical), sonnet for
execution and research (follows instructions), haiku for mapping and
checking (high volume, structured output).
This gives solo developers on paid API tiers a cost-effective middle
ground — quality where it matters most (planning) without overspending
on mechanical tasks (mapping, checking).
Per-agent overrides via model_overrides continue to take precedence
over any profile preset, including adaptive.
Closes#1713

* 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.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* 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

When EnterWorktree creates a branch from main instead of the current HEAD
(a known issue on Windows), executor agents now detect the mismatch and
reset their branch base to the correct commit before starting work.
- execute-phase: capture EXPECTED_BASE before spawning, inject
<worktree_branch_check> block into executor prompts
- execute-plan: document Pattern A worktree_branch_check requirement
- quick.md: inject worktree_branch_check into executor prompt
- diagnose-issues: inject worktree_branch_check into debugger prompts
- settings: add workflow.use_worktrees option so Windows users can
disable worktree isolation via /gsd:settings without editing files
Closes#1510

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
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
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
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
- Add workflow.text_mode config option (default: false) that replaces
AskUserQuestion TUI menus with plain-text numbered lists
- Document --text flag and config-set workflow.text_mode true as the
fix for /rc remote sessions where the Claude App cannot forward TUI
menu selections
- Update discuss-phase.md with text mode parsing and answer_validation
fallback documentation
- Add text_mode to loadConfig defaults and VALID_CONFIG_KEYS
- Add regression tests for config-set and loadConfig
Adds workflow.research_questions config toggle (default: false) that
enables web research before asking questions during /gsd:new-project
and /gsd:discuss-phase.
When enabled:
- discuss-phase: searches best practices for each gray area before
presenting questions, showing 2-3 bullet points of findings
- new-project: researches the user's described domain before asking
follow-up questions, weaving findings into the conversation
Added to /gsd:settings as a toggle ('Research Qs' section).
Closes#1186
New opt-in PreToolUse hook that warns when Claude edits files outside
a GSD workflow context (no active /gsd: command or subagent).
Soft guard — advises, does not block. The edit proceeds but Claude
sees a reminder to use /gsd:fast or /gsd:quick for state tracking.
Enable: set hooks.workflow_guard: true in .planning/config.json
Default: disabled (false)
Allows without warning:
- .planning/ files (GSD state management)
- Config files (.gitignore, .env, CLAUDE.md, settings.json)
- Subagent contexts (executor, planner, etc.)
Includes 3s stdin timeout guard and silent fail-safe.
Closes#678
Users on OpenRouter or local models get unexpected API costs because
GSD's default 'balanced' profile spawns specific Anthropic models for
subagents. The 'inherit' profile exists but wasn't well-documented for
this use case.
Changes:
- model-profiles.md: add 'Using Non-Anthropic Models' section explaining
when and how to use inherit profile
- model-profiles.md: update inherit description to mention OpenRouter and
local models
- settings.md: update Inherit option description to mention OpenRouter
and local models (was only mentioning OpenCode)
Closes#1036
The settings UI description for the 'balanced' profile said 'Opus for
planning, Sonnet for execution/verification' — omitting that research
also uses Sonnet. Users assumed research was included in 'planning'
and expected Opus for the researcher agent.
Updated to: 'Opus for planning, Sonnet for research/execution/verification'
This matches model-profiles.md and the actual MODEL_PROFILES mapping.
Fixes#680
Add hooks.context_warnings config option (default: true) that allows
users to disable the context monitor hook's advisory messages. When
set to false, the hook exits silently, allowing Claude Code to reach
auto-compact naturally without being interrupted.
This is useful for long unattended runs where users prefer Claude to
auto-compact and continue rather than stopping to warn about context.
Changes:
- hooks/gsd-context-monitor.js: Check config before emitting warnings
- get-shit-done/templates/config.json: Add hooks.context_warnings default
- get-shit-done/workflows/settings.md: Add UI for the new setting
Fixes#976
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
validation), gsd-ui-auditor (6-pillar scored audit + registry re-vetting).
Third-party shadcn registry blocks are machine-vetted at contract time,
verification time, and audit time — three enforcement points, not a checkbox.

* fix: plan-phase Nyquist validation when research is disabled (#980)
plan-phase step 5.5 required Nyquist artifacts even when research was
disabled, creating an impossible state: no RESEARCH.md to extract
Validation Architecture from. Step 7.5 then told Claude to "disable
Nyquist in config" without specifying the exact key, causing Claude to
guess wrong keys that config-set silently accepted.
Three fixes:
- plan-phase step 5.5: skip when research_enabled is false
- plan-phase step 7.5: specify exact config-set command for disabling
- config-set: reject unknown keys with whitelist validation
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* test: update config-set tests for key whitelist validation
Tests that used arbitrary keys (some_number, some_string, a.b.c) now
use valid config keys to test the same coercion and nesting behavior.
Adds new test asserting unknown keys are rejected with error.

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.

* fix: change nyquist_validation default to true and harden absent-key skip conditions
new-project.md never wrote the key, so agents reading config directly
treated absent as falsy. Changed all agent skip conditions from "is false"
to "explicitly set to false; absent = enabled". Default changed from false
to true in core.cjs, config.cjs, and templates/config.json.

* feat: add W008/W009 health checks and addNyquistKey repair for Nyquist drift detection
W008 warns when workflow.nyquist_validation key is absent from config.json
(agents may skip validation). W009 warns when RESEARCH.md has Validation
Architecture section but no VALIDATION.md file exists. addNyquistKey repair
adds the missing key with default true value.

* feat: add /gsd:validate-phase command and gsd-nyquist-auditor agent
Retroactively applies Nyquist validation to already-executed phases.
Works mid-milestone and post-milestone. Detects existing test coverage,
maps gaps to phase requirements, writes missing tests, debugs failing
ones, and produces {phase}-VALIDATION.md from existing artifacts.
Handles three states: VALIDATION.md exists (audit + update), no
VALIDATION.md (reconstruct from PLAN.md + SUMMARY.md), phase not yet
executed (exit cleanly with guidance).

* feat: audit-milestone reports Nyquist compliance gaps across phases
Adds Nyquist coverage table to audit-milestone output when

with retroactive validation documentation.

hedging language with directives. Audit-milestone Step 5.5: collapsed
sub-steps into inline instructions. Net: -376 lines.

The "depth" setting with values quick/standard/comprehensive implied
investigation thoroughness, but it only controls phase count. Renamed to
"granularity" with values coarse/standard/fine to accurately reflect what
it controls: how finely scope is sliced into phases.

that auto-renames depth→granularity with value mapping in both
.planning/config.json and ~/.gsd/defaults.json.

Add opt-in mechanism to chain discuss → plan → execute automatically
via Task() subagents, eliminating manual /clear + paste overhead.
- Add `--auto` flag to discuss-phase and plan-phase commands
- Add `workflow.auto_advance` config toggle (default: false)
- Add auto_advance step to discuss-phase workflow (spawns plan-phase)
- Add step 14 to plan-phase workflow (spawns execute-phase)
- Add auto_advance toggle to /gsd:settings
Chain stops gracefully on INCONCLUSIVE, CHECKPOINT, or verification
failures. No work lost — artifacts persist at each step.
