- Replaced 665-line workflow with 14-line redirect
- Points to agents/gsd-debugger.md for debugging expertise
- Preserves git history while marking content as moved
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

Phase completion commit now stages VERIFICATION.md alongside ROADMAP.md,
STATE.md, and REQUIREMENTS.md so verification results are tracked.

The ~/.claude/skills/expertise/ system was personal tooling
that doesn't exist for other users. Removed from:
- create-roadmap workflow (detect_domain step)
- plan-phase workflow (domain loading)
- roadmap template (Domain Expertise section)
- phase-prompt template (domain frontmatter)
- plan-format reference (domain field)

Sync execute-plan command and workflow with improved checkpoint display:
- Box header with ╔═══╗ for visual prominence
- Progress indicator at top
- Separator line before unmissable "→ YOUR ACTION:" prompt

- Add verify_phase_goal step to execute-phase workflow
- Verifier outputs structured gaps: YAML for planner consumption
- Add --gaps flag to plan-phase for gap closure mode
- Route by verification status: passed, gaps_found, human_needed
- Gap closure creates sequential plans (04, 05...) from verification gaps
- User stays in control at each decision point

Research now loads concrete requirements (e.g., "AUTH-02: User receives
email verification") to inform research domains, not just high-level
roadmap descriptions.

- 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)
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Subagents can't determine if phase is complete. The orchestrator
(execute-plan and execute-phase commands) runs in main context,
can count plans vs summaries, and updates REQUIREMENTS.md when
phase completes.
- execute-plan: Step 2.5 updates requirements when summaries = plans
- execute-phase: Step 6 updates requirements (phase always complete)
- Removed duplicate from workflow (subagent can't run it anyway)
When all plans in a phase complete:
1. Look up phase's requirements from ROADMAP.md
2. Update REQUIREMENTS.md traceability table (Pending → Complete)
3. Include in metadata commit
Closes the loop on requirement tracking.
Adds /gsd:research-project to research domain ecosystem before creating roadmap.
Spawns parallel agents to investigate stack, features, architecture, and pitfalls.
New files:
- commands/gsd/research-project.md
- get-shit-done/workflows/research-project.md
- get-shit-done/templates/research-project/ (5 templates)
Modified:
- new-project.md: offers research vs direct roadmap options
- create-roadmap.md: loads research if exists
- workflows/create-roadmap.md: uses research to inform phases

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.
Closes#56

- Debug command now orchestrates: gather symptoms in main context, spawn
investigation subagent with fresh 200k context
- Subagent template unified for both /gsd:debug (find_and_fix) and
diagnose-issues (find_root_cause_only) flows via goal flag
- Checkpoint behavior enables subagent to pause for user input
(human-verify, human-action, decision) with continuation agents
- Structured return formats: ROOT CAUSE FOUND, DEBUG COMPLETE,
INVESTIGATION INCONCLUSIVE, CHECKPOINT REACHED
- diagnose-issues updated to match new template placeholders and returns

Diagnosis always produces better fixes and runs in parallel anyway.

After UAT finds issues, spawn parallel debug agents to investigate
root causes before planning fixes. Each agent investigates one issue
with symptoms pre-filled from UAT, finds the root cause, and returns
diagnosis.
New files:
- workflows/diagnose-issues.md: Orchestrator for parallel debug agents
- templates/debug-subagent-prompt.md: Prompt template for debug subagents
Modified:
- workflows/debug.md: Add symptoms_prefilled and diagnose-only modes
- workflows/verify-work.md: Offer diagnosis step after issues found
- templates/UAT.md: Add root_cause and debug_session fields
- commands/gsd/plan-fix.md: Use root causes for targeted fix planning
Flow: UAT → diagnose (parallel) → plan-fix (with root causes) → execute

- One test at a time instead of full checklist upfront
- Plain text responses instead of AskUserQuestion forms
- Severity inferred from description, never asked
- Persistent UAT.md survives /clear (like debug workflow)
- Single file per phase replaces per-plan ISSUES.md
- Updated plan-fix to read from UAT.md

Wave numbers now computed during plan-phase and stored in PLAN.md
frontmatter. Execute-phase reads wave directly instead of deriving
from depends_on at runtime.
- Add assign_waves step to plan-phase workflow
- Add wave field to frontmatter (plan-format, phase-prompt template)
- Simplify execute-phase: remove analyze_dependencies and group_into_waves
- Replace with group_by_wave that just reads frontmatter integers

- 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
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Resume fails when subagents use parallel tool calls due to Claude Code
serialization bug (consecutive assistant entries with same message ID).
Solution: Subagents return structured checkpoint state, orchestrator
spawns fresh agent with continuation-prompt template instead of resuming.
New files:
- templates/checkpoint-return.md: Structured format with completed tasks table
- templates/continuation-prompt.md: Template for spawning continuation agent
Updated:
- templates/subagent-task-prompt.md: Reference checkpoint-return, remove resume language
- workflows/execute-phase.md: Replace Task(resume=id) with fresh agent spawn
- workflows/execute-plan.md: Update checkpoint_return_for_orchestrator step

Scope boundaries are implicit from the roadmap. Asking about them
creates the sensation of scope creep and interrogates the user about
constraints they didn't mention.

Restored context-budget reasoning for why TDD features get dedicated plans:
- TDD requires 2-3 execution cycles consuming 50-60% context
- Test framework setup handled in first TDD plan's RED phase
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- execute-plan.md: Add checkpoint_return_for_orchestrator step
explaining how to return at checkpoints when spawned via Task tool
- subagent-task-prompt.md: Add checkpoint_behavior and completion_format
sections to guide agents on returning for checkpoints
Tested: Task resume works - agent pauses at checkpoint, returns with
details, orchestrator presents to user, resumes with Task(resume=id).
Parallel agents each get unique agent_id for independent resume.

Remove confusing `parallelizable` boolean field. It was redundant -
execute-phase already computes parallelizability from `depends_on`
and file conflicts.
Changes:
- Remove `parallelizable: true|false` from plan frontmatter
- Rename `files_exclusive` to `files_modified` (clearer intent)
- Simplify execute-phase dependency detection logic
- Update phase-prompt template and plan-phase workflow
Parallelization is now fully automatic based on:
- `depends_on: []` (empty = independent)
- `files_modified: [...]` (no overlap = can parallelize)
