Adds --interactive flag to /gsd:execute-phase that changes execution from
autonomous subagent delegation to sequential inline execution with user
checkpoints between tasks.
Interactive mode:
- Executes plans sequentially inline (no subagent spawning)
- Presents each plan to user: Execute, Review first, Skip, Stop
- Pauses after each task for user intervention
- Dramatically lower token usage (no subagent overhead)
- Maintains full GSD planning/tracking structure
Changes:
- execute-phase.md: new check_interactive_mode step with full interactive flow
- execute-phase command: documented --interactive flag in argument-hint and context
Use cases:
- Small phases (1-3 plans, no complex dependencies)
- Bug fixes and verification gap closure
- Learning GSD workflow
- When user wants to pair-program with Claude under GSD structure
Fixes#963
* fix: hook version tracking, stale hook detection, and stdin timeout increase
- Add gsd-hook-version header to all hook files for version tracking (#1153)
- Install.js now stamps current version into hooks during installation
- gsd-check-update.js detects stale hooks by comparing version headers
- gsd-statusline.js shows warning when stale hooks are detected
- Increase context monitor stdin timeout from 3s to 10s (#1162)
- Set +x permission on hook files during installation (#1162)
Fixes#1153, #1162, #1161
* feat: add /gsd:session-report command for post-session summary generation
Adds a new command that generates SESSION_REPORT.md with:
- Work performed summary (phases touched, commits, files changed)
- Key outcomes and decisions made
- Active blockers and open items
- Estimated resource usage metrics
Reports are written to .planning/reports/ with date-stamped filenames.
Closes#1157
* test: update expected skill count from 39 to 40 for new session-report command
Adds a zero-friction command that detects the current project state and
automatically invokes the next logical workflow step:
- No phases → discuss first phase
- Phase has no context → discuss
- Phase has context but no plans → plan
- Phase has plans but incomplete → execute
- All plans complete → verify and complete phase
- All phases complete → complete milestone
- Paused → resume work
No arguments needed — reads STATE.md, ROADMAP.md, and phase directories
to determine progression. Designed for multi-project workflows.
Closes#927
When the discuss-phase workflow asks 'More questions about [area], or
move to next?', it now also lists the remaining unvisited areas so the
user can see what's still ahead and make an informed decision about
whether to go deeper or move on.
Example: 'More questions about Layout, or move to next?
(Remaining: Loading behavior, Content ordering)'
Fixes#992
Add composable --research flag to /gsd:quick that spawns a focused
gsd-phase-researcher before planning. Investigates implementation
approaches, library options, and pitfalls for the task.
Addresses the middle-ground gap between quick (no quality agents) and
full milestone workflows. All three flags are composable:
--discuss --research --full gives the complete quality pipeline.

* perf: make `/gsd:set-profile`'s implementation more programmatic
* perf: run the set-profile script without Claude needing to invoke it
- inject the script's output as dynamic context into the set-profile skill, so that Claude doesn't
need to invoke it and can simply read + print the output to the user
- reference: https://code.claude.com/docs/en/skills#inject-dynamic-context
* feat: improve output message for case where model profile wasn't changed
* feat: specify haiku model for set-profile command since it's so simple
* fix: remove ' (default)' from previousProfile to avoid false negative for didChange
* chore: add docstring to MODEL_PROFILES with note about the analogous markdown reference table
* chore: delete set-profile workflow file that's no longer needed
Add a new `/gsd:stats` command that displays comprehensive project
statistics including phase progress, plan execution metrics, requirements
completion, git history, and timeline information.
- New command definition: commands/gsd/stats.md
- New workflow: get-shit-done/workflows/stats.md
- CLI handler: `gsd-tools stats [json|table]`
- Stats function in commands.cjs with JSON and table output formats
- 5 new tests covering empty project, phase/plan counting, requirements
counting, last activity, and table format rendering

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.

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.

* fix: enforce VALIDATION.md creation with verification gate and Check 8e
Step 5.5 was narrative markdown that Claude skipped under context pressure.
Now MANDATORY with Write tool requirement and file-existence verification.
Step 7.5 gates planner spawn on VALIDATION.md presence. Check 8e blocks
Dimension 8 if file missing.

* 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
workflow.nyquist_validation is true. Identifies phases missing
VALIDATION.md or with nyquist_compliant: false/partial.
Routes to /gsd:validate-phase for resolution. Updates USER-GUIDE
with retroactive validation documentation.

* refactor: compress Nyquist prompts to match GSD meta-prompt density conventions
Auditor agent: deleted philosophy section (35 lines), compressed execution
flow 60%, removed redundant constraints. Workflow: cut purpose bloat,
collapsed state narrative, compressed auditor spawn template. Command:
removed redundant process section. Plan-phase Steps 5.5/7.5: replaced
hedging language with directives. Audit-milestone Step 5.5: collapsed
sub-steps into inline instructions. Net: -376 lines.

Replace general-purpose workaround pattern with named subagent types:
- plan-phase: researcher and planner now spawn as gsd-phase-researcher/gsd-planner
- new-project: 4 researcher spawns now use gsd-project-researcher
- research-phase: researcher spawns now use gsd-phase-researcher
- quick: planner revision now uses gsd-planner
- diagnose-issues: debug agents now use gsd-debugger (matches template spec)
Removes 'First, read agent .md file' prompt prefix — named agent types
auto-load their .md file as system prompt, making the workaround redundant.
Preserves intentional general-purpose orchestrator spawns in discuss-phase
and plan-phase (auto-advance) where the agent runs an entire workflow.

Three files had hardcoded `.claude` paths that break OpenCode and
Gemini installations where the config directory is `.config/opencode`,
`.opencode`, or `.gemini` respectively.
Changes:
- hooks/gsd-check-update.js: add detectConfigDir() helper that checks
all runtime directories for get-shit-done/VERSION, falling back to
.claude. Used for cache dir, project VERSION, and global VERSION.
- commands/gsd/reapply-patches.md: detect runtime directory for both
global and local patch directories instead of hardcoding ~/.claude/
and ./.claude/
- workflows/update.md: detect runtime directory for local and global
VERSION/marker files, and clear cache across all runtime directories

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.

Add lightweight codebase scanning before gray area identification:
- New scout_codebase step checks for existing maps or does targeted grep
- Gray areas annotated with code context (existing components, patterns)
- Discussion options informed by what already exists in the codebase
- Context7 integration for library-specific questions
- CONTEXT.md template includes code_context section

DEBUGGER_MODEL and CHECKER_MODEL used uppercase bash convention but the
Task() calls referenced {debugger_model} and {integration_checker_model}
(lowercase). The mismatch caused Claude to skip substitution and fall back
to the parent session model, ignoring the configured GSD profile.

New command that generates unit and E2E tests for completed phases:
- Analyzes implementation files and classifies into TDD/E2E/Skip
- Enforces RED-GREEN gates for both unit and E2E tests
- Uses phase SUMMARY.md, CONTEXT.md, and VERIFICATION.md as test specs
- Presents test plan for user approval before generating
Test classification rules:
- TDD: pure functions where expect(fn(input)).toBe(output) is writable
- E2E: UI behavior verifiable by Playwright (keyboard, navigation, forms)
- Skip: styling, config, glue code, migrations, simple CRUD
Ref: Issue #302
Enables quality guarantees on quick tasks without full milestone ceremony.
--full spawns plan-checker (max 2 iterations) and post-execution verifier,
produces VERIFICATION.md, and adds Status column to STATE.md table.

Add optional phase archival to milestone completion and a standalone
/gsd:cleanup command for retroactive use. Phase dirs move to
.planning/milestones/v{X.Y}-phases/, reducing phases/ clutter after
multiple milestones.
Core changes:
- getArchivedPhaseDirs() and searchPhaseInDir() helpers in gsd-tools
- findPhaseInternal() searches archives when phase not found in current
- cmdPhasesList() accepts --include-archived flag
- cmdHistoryDigest() scans both current and archived phases
- cmdMilestoneComplete() accepts --archive-phases flag
- Workflow globs replaced with find-phase/phases-list CLI calls

Typing /exec matched plan-phase instead of execute-phase because the
plan-phase description contained "execution plan".

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.

Hooks had hardcoded `.claude` paths that broke OpenCode users. The
installer now templates `.js` hooks with runtime-specific config dirs,
same as it already does for `.md` files. Also added `./.claude/`
replacement for local install paths in workflows.

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
01-foundation-target-system-VERIFICATION.md.
Changed all {phase}-*.md references to {phase_num}-*.md to match the
convention used in gsd-tools.js (${padded}-VERIFICATION.md).
Files: VERIFICATION.md, RESEARCH.md, CONTEXT.md, UAT.md patterns.

When users modify GSD workflow files (e.g., adding bug workarounds),
those changes get wiped on every /gsd:update. This adds automatic
backup and guided restore:
**install.js changes:**
- Writes `gsd-file-manifest.json` after install with SHA256 hashes
of every installed GSD file
- Before wiping on update, compares current files against manifest
to detect user modifications
- Backs up modified files to `gsd-local-patches/` directory
- Reports backed-up patches after install completes
**New command: /gsd:reapply-patches**
- LLM-guided merge of backed-up modifications into new version
- Handles cases where upstream also changed the same file
- Reports merge status per file (merged/skipped/conflict)
**update.md changes:**
- Warning text now mentions automatic backup instead of manual
- New step after install to check for and report backed-up patches
Flow: modify GSD file → /gsd:update → modifications auto-backed up →
new version installed → /gsd:reapply-patches → modifications merged back
