* feat(#1243): consume Claude plugin-provided skills via native Skill-tool directive + grant Skill to agent_skills-consumer agents - Relax global skill name validation to accept namespaced form `^[A-Za-z0-9_-]+(:[A-Za-z0-9_-]+)*$` - Namespaced names (containing colon) on claude runtime emit a Skill-tool load directive instead of a @-include line - Namespaced names on non-claude runtimes are skipped with a warning - Bare unresolved names retain existing warn-and-skip behavior (no promotion to directive) - Grant `Skill` tool to all 22 agent_skills consumer agents; 5 generated agents updated via research-profiles.cjs + regen, 17 hand-authored agents edited directly - Add 16 TDD tests in describe('bug #1243') covering happy/mixed/precedence/negative/cross-runtime/regression/grant cases Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com> * docs(#1243): document plugin-provided skills in agent_skills Update the Agent Skills Injection reference in CONFIGURATION.md with the three entry forms (project-relative, global:<name>, global:<plugin>:<skill>), the Claude-only runtime behaviour of the namespaced form and the warn-skip on other runtimes, the plugin pre-install prerequisite, and the consumer-agent Skill tool grant. Add docs/how-to/attach-a-plugin-skill-to-a-gsd-agent.md with a step-by-step guide for installing the plugin, locating the namespaced skill name, wiring it into agent_skills, and verifying injection. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(#1243): align agent_skills docs with emitted block format + mixed-block regression test (code-review) - Replace two-section mixed-block example (bogus "Load these plugin-provided skills using the Skill tool:" header) with the actual single-section inline format in CONFIGURATION.md and docs/how-to/attach-a-plugin-skill-to-a-gsd-agent.md - Fix quoted warning text in how-to doc to exactly match the emitted string: [agent-skills] WARNING: Plugin-namespaced skill "global:<name>" requires a Skill-tool-capable runtime (claude) — skipping on runtime "<runtime>" - Replace phantom agent slugs (gsd-checker, gsd-researcher, gsd-advisor, gsd-synthesizer) in CONFIGURATION.md Supported Agent Types with real agents/gsd-*.md examples (gsd-plan-checker, gsd-phase-researcher, gsd-code-reviewer, gsd-ui-auditor, gsd-research-synthesizer) - Add byte-identical mixed-block regression test: one path-resolvable global skill + one plugin-namespaced skill on claude runtime → asserts r.ir.block === single-section interleaved block, no secondary header Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com> * chore(#1243): regenerate agent-size baseline for the Skill-tool grant The 22 agent_skills-consumer agents each grew +7 bytes from adding `Skill` to their tools list; refresh the committed per-agent size baseline (#1074 guard). * chore(#1243): add Added changeset fragment * fix(#1243): traceable allow-test-rule ref + separator-agnostic byte-identical tests (CI) Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com> --------- Co-authored-by: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
GSD Core documentation
Documentation is organised into four quadrants: tutorials help you learn by doing, how-to guides solve specific tasks, reference states authoritative facts, and explanation explores concepts and design decisions.
Language versions: English · Português (pt-BR) · 日本語 · 简体中文
Tutorials
- Your first project — install to first shipped phase, one guaranteed path
- Onboarding an existing codebase — bring GSD Core to a brownfield repo
How-to guides
- Install on your runtime — runtime-specific install steps for all 16 supported runtimes
- Install a minimal GSD and add skills later — install only the core skills, then grow the surface with profiles and
/gsd:surface - Attach a plugin-provided skill to a GSD agent — use the
global:plugin:skillentry form to load Claude Code plugin skills into agent prompts - Discuss a phase — capture implementation decisions before planning begins
- Resolve edge-coverage findings — turn the spec phase's surfaced domain-boundary edges into covered, dismissed, or backstopped spec decisions
- Resolve prohibition findings — turn the spec phase's surfaced must-NOT constraints into resolved, dismissed, or deferred spec decisions
- Plan a phase — run research, decompose work, and verify plan quality
- Execute a phase — run plans in parallel waves with fresh-context subagents
- Verify and ship — walk through completed work, diagnose failures, and create the PR
- Run phases autonomously — use autonomous mode for unattended phase execution
- Handle quick and fast tasks — use
/gsd-quickand/gsd-fastfor ad-hoc work outside the phase loop - Configure model profiles — switch between quality, balanced, and budget model tiers
- Set up cross-AI review — configure a second AI to review code produced by the primary agent
- Work in parallel with workstreams — run independent lines of work simultaneously using workstreams
- Isolate work with workspaces — use workspaces to sandbox experimental or risky changes
- Debug a failed execution — diagnose and recover from broken or incomplete phase execution
- Spike and sketch — use
/gsd-spikeand/gsd-sketchfor exploratory work before committing to a plan - Design a UI phase — use the UI phase loop for frontend and visual work
- Develop a Capability for GSD 1.5+ — add feature Capabilities, hook fragments, and registry entries
- Turn a capability off (and keep it off) — disable a capability via the surface, or gate individual hooks off without removing the capability
- Drive GSD from a tracker issue — start a phase from a GitHub, Linear, or Jira issue
- Migrate from GSD 2 — upgrade an existing GSD 2 project to GSD Core
- Update GSD — re-run the installer to pick up the latest release
- Clean up get-shit-done-cc — remove leftover old-package artifacts that cause a spurious
⬆ /gsd:updateindicator after migrating to@opengsd/gsd-core - Fix the worktree base-mismatch (exit 42) error — resolve the branch-divergence condition that halts parallel phase execution
- Recover and troubleshoot — fix common problems, rebuild context, and uninstall

Explanation
- Context engineering — how context rot forms and how GSD Core prevents it
- The phase loop — design rationale for the Discuss → Plan → Execute → Verify → Ship cycle
- Multi-agent orchestration — how subagents are spawned, scoped, and coordinated
- Security model — trust boundaries, permissions, and safe automation
- Architecture — system architecture, agent model, and data flow
- Discuss modes — assumptions mode vs interview mode for
/gsd-discuss-phase - Context monitoring — context window monitoring hook architecture
- Issue-driven orchestration — recipe for driving GSD from a tracker issue using existing primitives
