Copilot's subagent spawning (Task API) may not properly return completion
signals to the orchestrator, causing it to hang indefinitely waiting for
agents that have already finished their work.
Added <runtime_compatibility> section to execute-phase.md with:
- Runtime-specific subagent spawning guidance (Claude Code, Copilot, others)
- Fallback rule: if agent completes work but orchestrator doesn't get the
signal, treat as success based on spot-checks (SUMMARY.md exists, commits
present)
- Sequential inline execution fallback for runtimes without reliable Task API
Fixes#1128
When GSD hits a blocking decision point (AskUserQuestion, next action prompt),
external watchers have no way to detect it. Users monitoring multiple auto
sessions must visually check each terminal.
Added:
- state signal-waiting: writes .planning/WAITING.json (or .gsd/WAITING.json)
with type, question, options, timestamp, and phase info
- state signal-resume: removes WAITING.json when user answers
Signal file format:
{ status, type, question, options[], since, phase }
External tools can watch for this file via fswatch, polling, or inotify.
Complements the existing remote-questions extension (Slack/Discord).
Fixes#1034
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
GSD executor agents ignore MCP tools (e.g. jCodeMunch) even when CLAUDE.md
explicitly instructs their use. Agents default to Grep/Glob because those
are explicitly referenced in workflow patterns.
Added MCP tool instructions to:
- execute-phase.md: <mcp_tools> section in executor agent prompt telling
agents to prefer MCP tools over Grep/Glob when available
- execute-plan.md: Step 2 in execute section with MCP tool fallback guidance
Agents now:
1. Check if CLAUDE.md references MCP tools
2. Prefer MCP tools for code navigation when accessible
3. Fall back to Grep/Glob if MCP tools are not available
Fixes#973
After /clear, Claude Code sometimes loses awareness of custom agent types
and falls back to 'general-purpose'. This happens because the model doesn't
re-read .claude/agents/ after context reset.
Added <available_agent_types> sections to:
- execute-phase.md: lists all 12 valid GSD agent types with descriptions
- plan-phase.md: lists the 3 agent types used during planning
The explicit listing in workflow instructions ensures the model always has
an unambiguous reference to valid agent types, regardless of whether
.claude/agents/ was re-read after /clear.
Fixes#949
When plan-phase invokes discuss-phase as a nested Skill call,
AskUserQuestion calls auto-resolve with empty answers — the user never
sees the question UI. This is a Claude Code runtime bug with nested
subcontexts.
Made the 'Run discuss-phase first' path explicitly exit the workflow
with a display message instead of risking nested invocation:
- Added explicit warning: do NOT invoke as nested Skill/Task
- Show the command for user to run as top-level
- Exit the plan-phase workflow immediately
Fixes#1009
Claude Code's Task tool sometimes doesn't resolve short aliases (opus,
sonnet, haiku) and passes them directly to the API, causing 404s. Tasks
then inherit the parent session's model instead of the configured one.
Added:
- MODEL_ALIAS_MAP in core.cjs mapping aliases to full model IDs
- resolve_model_ids config option (default: false for backward compat)
- resolveModelInternal() maps aliases when resolve_model_ids is true
Usage:
{ "resolve_model_ids": true }
This causes gsd-tools resolve-model to return 'claude-sonnet-4-5' instead
of 'sonnet', which the Task tool passes to the API without needing alias
resolution on Claude Code's side.
The alias map is maintained per release. Users can also use model_overrides
for full control.
All 755 tests pass.
Fixes#991
stripShippedMilestones() uses a negative heuristic: strip all <details>
blocks, assume what remains is the current milestone. This breaks when
agents accidentally wrap the current milestone in <details> for
collapsibility — all downstream consumers then see an empty milestone.
Observed failure: cmdPhaseComplete() returns is_last_phase: true and
next_phase: null for non-final phases because the current milestone's
phases were stripped along with shipped ones.
Added extractCurrentMilestone(content, cwd) — a positive lookup that:
1. Reads the current milestone version from STATE.md frontmatter
2. Falls back to 🚧 in-progress marker in ROADMAP.md
3. Finds the section heading matching that version
4. Returns only that section's content
5. Falls back to stripShippedMilestones() if version can't be determined
Updated 12 call sites across 6 files to use extractCurrentMilestone:
- core.cjs: getRoadmapPhaseInternal(), getMilestonePhaseFilter()
- phase.cjs: cmdPhaseAdd(), cmdPhaseInsert(), cmdPhaseComplete() (2 sites)
- roadmap.cjs: cmdRoadmapGetPhase(), cmdRoadmapAnalyze()
- commands.cjs: stats/progress display
- verify.cjs: phase verification (2 sites)
- init.cjs: project initialization
Kept stripShippedMilestones() for:
- getMilestoneInfo() — determines the version itself, can't use positive lookup
- replaceInCurrentMilestone() — write operations, conservative boundary
- extractCurrentMilestone() fallback — when no version available
All 755 tests pass.
Fixes#1145
* 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
MSYS curl on Windows has SSL/TLS failures and path mangling issues.
Replaced curl references in checkpoint and phase-prompt templates with
Node.js fetch() which works cross-platform.
Changes:
- checkpoints.md: server readiness check uses fetch() instead of curl
- checkpoints.md: added cross-platform note about curl vs fetch
- checkpoints.md: verify tags use fetch instead of curl
- phase-prompt.md: verify tags use fetch instead of curl
Partially addresses #899 (patch 1 of 6)
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
Runtimes like Antigravity don't have a Task tool for spawning subagents.
When the agent encounters Task() calls, it falls back to browser_subagent
which is meant for web browsing, not code analysis — causing
gsd-map-codebase to fail.
This adds:
1. A detect_runtime_capabilities step before spawn_agents
2. An explicit warning to NEVER use browser_subagent for code analysis
3. A sequential_mapping fallback step that performs all 4 mapping passes
inline using file system tools when Task is unavailable
Closes#1174
The version detection script in update.md used a space-separated string
for RUNTIME_DIRS and iterated with `for entry in $RUNTIME_DIRS`. This
relies on word-splitting which works in bash but fails in zsh (zsh does
not word-split unquoted variables by default), causing the entire string
to be treated as one entry and detection to fall through to UNKNOWN.
Fix: convert RUNTIME_DIRS and ORDERED_RUNTIME_DIRS from space-separated
strings to proper arrays, and iterate with ${array[@]} syntax which
works correctly in both bash and zsh.
Closes#1173
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 offer_next step in execute-phase.md suggests /gsd:transition to users
when auto-advance is disabled. This command does not exist as a registered
skill — transition.md is an internal workflow only invoked inline during
auto-advance chains (line 456).
Replace with /gsd:discuss-phase and /gsd:plan-phase which are the actual
user-facing equivalents for transitioning between phases.
No impact on auto-advance path — that invokes transition.md by file path,
not as a slash command.

- fix(frontmatter): handle CRLF line endings in extractFrontmatter,
spliceFrontmatter, and parseMustHavesBlock — fixes wave parsing on
Windows where all plans reported as wave 1 (#1085)
- fix(hooks): remove duplicate const cwd declaration in
gsd-context-monitor.js that caused SyntaxError on every PostToolUse
invocation (#1091, #1092, #1094)
- feat(state): add 'state begin-phase' command that updates STATUS,
Last Activity, Current focus, Current Position, and plan counts
when a new phase starts executing (#1102, #1103, #1104)
- docs(workflow): add state begin-phase call to execute-phase workflow
validate_phase step so STATE.md is current from the start
Previously, calling `mark-complete` on already-completed requirements
reported them as `not_found`, since the regex only matched unchecked
`[ ]` checkboxes and `Pending` table cells.
Now detects `[x]` checkboxes and `Complete` table cells and returns
them in a new `already_complete` array instead of `not_found`.

Three additive quality improvements to the execution pipeline:
1. Pre-wave dependency check (execute-phase): Before spawning wave N+1,
verify key-links from prior wave artifacts. Catches cross-plan wiring
gaps before they cascade into downstream failures.
2. Cross-Plan Data Contracts dimension (plan-checker): New Dimension 9
checks that plans sharing data pipelines have compatible transformations.
Flags when one plan strips data another plan needs in original form.
3. Export-level spot check (verify-phase): After Level 3 wiring passes,
spot-check individual exports for actual usage. Catches dead stores
that exist in wired files but are never called.
Three bugs preventing /gsd:profile-user from generating complete profiles:
1. Template path resolves to bin/templates/ (doesn't exist) instead of
templates/ — __dirname is bin/lib/, needs two levels up not one
2. write-profile reads analysis.projects_list and analysis.message_count
but the profiler agent outputs projects_analyzed and messages_analyzed
3. Evidence block checks dim.evidence but profiler outputs evidence_quotes
Fixes all three with fallback patterns (accepts both old and new field
names) so existing and future analysis formats both work.

Instead of silently skipping research based on the config toggle,
plan-phase now asks the user whether to research before planning
(when no explicit --research or --skip-research flag is provided).
The prompt includes a contextual recommendation:
- 'Research first (Recommended)' for new features, integrations, etc.
- 'Skip research' for bug fixes, refactors, well-understood tasks
The --research and --skip-research flags still work as silent overrides
for automation. Auto mode (--auto) respects the config toggle silently.
Fixes#846
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
Two fixes to verify.cjs:
1. Add CWD guard to cmdValidateHealth — detects when CWD is the home
directory (likely accidental) and returns error E010 before running
checks that would read the wrong .planning/ directory.
2. Import and apply stripShippedMilestones to both cmdValidateConsistency
and cmdValidateHealth (Check 8) — prevents false warnings when
archived milestones reuse phase numbers.
This PR subsumes #1071 (strip archived milestones) to avoid merge
conflicts on the same import line.
Addresses patch 2 from #899, fixes#1060
After committing task changes, the executor now checks for untracked
files (git status --short | grep '^??') and handles them: commit if
intentional, add to .gitignore if generated/runtime output.
This prevents generated artifacts (build outputs, .env files, cache
files) from being silently left untracked in the working tree.
Changes:
- execute-plan.md: Add step 6 to task commit protocol
- gsd-executor.md: Add step 6 to task commit protocol
Fixes#957
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
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
resolveModelInternal() was converting 'opus' to 'inherit', assuming
the parent process runs on Opus. When the orchestrator runs on Sonnet
(the default), 'inherit' resolves to Sonnet — silently downgrading
quality profile subagents.
Remove the opus→inherit conversion so the resolved model name is
passed through directly. Claude Code's Task tool now supports model
aliases like 'opus', 'sonnet', 'haiku'.
Fixes#695
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
Phase numbers reset per milestone (v1.0 Phase 1-26, v1.1 Phase 1-6,
v1.2 Phase 1-6). Functions that searched ROADMAP.md for phase headings
or checkboxes would match archived milestone entries inside <details>
blocks before reaching the current milestone's entries.
This caused:
- roadmap_complete: true for phases that aren't complete (checkbox
regex matched the archived [x] Phase N from a previous milestone)
- phase-complete marking the wrong checkbox (archived instead of current)
- phase-add computing wrong maxPhase from archived headings
- progress not showing phases defined in ROADMAP but not yet on disk
Two bugs caused workflow.research to silently reset to false:
1. new-milestone.md unconditionally overwrote workflow.research via
config-set after asking about research — coupling a per-milestone
decision to a persistent user preference. Now the research question
is per-invocation only; persistent config changes via /gsd:settings.
2. verify.cjs health repair (createConfig/resetConfig) used flat keys
(research, plan_checker, verifier) instead of the canonical nested
workflow object from config.cjs, also missing branch templates,
nyquist_validation, and brave_search fields.

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 ROADMAP.md marks a phase as [x] complete, trust that over the
disk file structure. Phases completed before GSD tracking started
(or via external tools) may lack PLAN/SUMMARY pairs but are still
done — the roadmap checkbox is the higher-authority signal.
Without this fix, completed phases show as "discussed" or "planned"
in /gsd:progress, causing incorrect routing and progress percentages.
