* enhance(#2529): cover every workflow with response-language directives + CI lint

Every workflow now carries response-language coverage in one of three forms,
and a CI lint keeps it that way.

- 43 workflows load the new shared reference,
  `gsd-core/references/response-language-directive.md`, by eager `@`-import.
- Lazy-loaded modes/steps/templates, which cannot rely on an eager import,
  carry an exact inline directive; 35 such paths are pinned by exact path.
- Fragments dispatched by a covered parent inherit coverage, proven per file
  rather than granted per directory.

The 45 workflows whose directive covered only "questions, prompts, and
explanations" now name inter-tool narration, which is the defect #2529
reports: the running commentary between tool calls stayed English while the
answers around it were translated.

`scripts/lint-response-language-coverage.cjs` enforces it and fails closed on
three independent discovery failures (unreadable catalog, empty catalog,
unfollowed symlink). It resolves which reference a workflow imports and applies
the same four-predicate test to that file, so a weakened shared reference
uncovers its importers instead of passing silently, reported once as a systemic
failure rather than 43 times. The walk follows symlinked subtrees with a
realpath cycle bound. `lint:ci` invokes it by name.

REQ-LANG-03 and REQ-LANG-04 state the contract in docs/FEATURES.md;
REQ-LANG-04 names the two forms that satisfy it ("narration", "between tool
calls") rather than enumerating class members an author cannot use verbatim,
and a test pins that text to what the matcher accepts.

* chore(#2529): register the coverage test in the docs-guard lane

`107eb8c1` (#3787) landed the docs-guard lane on `next` while this PR was
open: a test that reads a `docs/` path must be named in
`scripts/docs-guard-registry.cjs` or carry a `docs-guard-exempt` marker,
so the guards that read a doc run on the PR that changes it.

`tests/response-language-coverage.test.cjs` reads `docs/FEATURES.md` -- it
extracts every form REQ-LANG-04 offers an author and runs each through the
matcher that enforces it. Registration, not exemption, is the correct side
of that gate: a reword of the requirement with no code change is precisely
the diff this test exists to catch, and it is the diff the lane would
otherwise skip.

Registered narrowly (`['docs/FEATURES.md']`) rather than with the `'*'`
sentinel, so an unrelated docs change does not pull this test into the lane.

Verified: lint-docs-guard-registration 0 violations, tests/ci-docs-guard-registry.test.cjs
51/51, lint:ci exit 0.

* chore(#2529): consolidate this PR's emitted-growth acks into its own fragment

This PR ripples emitted bytes across 85 workflow paths. Until now each ripple
was acknowledged by appending to whichever live fragment owned that path,
because two ack sources may never name the same path.

`a84f7563` (#3078) swept all 45 fully-spent fragments off `next`. Forty-two of
the paths this PR grows were owned by swept fragments, so those keys are now
unowned and this PR's own fragment declares them directly -- one path, one
source, and no dependence on a fragment that no longer exists. Each adopted
entry keeps its measurement and records where it came from.

Two paths are handled differently, because the sweep did not free them:

- `review.md` is now owned by `3034-parallel-reviewer-lanes.json`, which
  landed on `next` after the sweep. Its entry is live, so the old route still
  applies: this PR's note is appended to that entry rather than declared a
  second time.
- `plan-review-convergence.md` keeps the arrangement made in round 24.

Result: 3 fragments in the directory, 85 keys in this PR's own,
0 cross-source duplicates. `lint-emitted-drift-ack` exit 0,
`tests/emitted-attribution.test.cjs` green.

* fix(#2529): move REQ-LANG-03/04 into the feature fragment that now generates them

`36375513` (#3845) made docs/FEATURES.md a generated projection of
docs/features/*.md, marked "do not edit by hand". This PR wrote REQ-LANG-03
and REQ-LANG-04 straight into the generated file, so the rebase left the
requirement present in the projection and absent from its source -- the next
regeneration would have deleted both, and `tests/features-index-gate.test.cjs`
was already red on the mismatch.

Both requirements now live in docs/features/response-language-config.md
alongside REQ-LANG-01 and -02. Regenerating produces a docs/FEATURES.md that is
byte-identical to the committed one, so the text this PR shipped is unchanged --
only its source of truth moved to where #3840 put it.

The docs-guard registration is widened to name the fragment as well as the
projection. The requirement's source is the fragment now, and an edit there
that skips regeneration would otherwise reach this guard through neither path.

Verified: features-index-gate 68/68, lint-docs-guard-registration 0 violations,
ci-docs-guard-registry + response-language-coverage 142/142.

* chore(#2529): hand the plan-phase ack back to its new live owner

`c933184b` (#3825) landed `3172-stated-failing-direction.json` on `next` after
fragment had adopted that path when the sweep left it unowned, so the merged
tree named it from two sources -- a hard failure in
`scripts/lint-emitted-drift-ack.cjs`.

The path has a live owner again, so the append route applies: this PR's note
joins that entry, carrying its own measurement, and the key is dropped from
this PR's fragment (84 keys left, the others untouched). The provenance
sentence written for the swept-fragment case is removed rather than reused --
this path was never orphaned, so that account of it would be false.

Same shape as `review.md` and `plan-review-convergence.md`: ownership is a
property of the merged tree, and a fragment landing upstream after a push can
reclaim a key no local check would have flagged.

Verified: lint-emitted-drift-ack exit 0, lint:ci exit 0.

* fix(#2529): state byte figures that are true against the tree

The reference claimed `execute-phase.md` has "2 bytes of headroom under the
ceiling named below". That was true when the sentence was written -- the file
sat at 93398 against the 93400 comfort assert -- and upstream has since shrunk
it to 91493 against a 93600 hard ceiling, so the figure now understates the
headroom by three orders of magnitude. The rationale the sentence supports does
not depend on the number, so the number is gone rather than refreshed: a
restated figure would go stale again on the next upstream edit, and nothing
parses it.

Audited every other numeric claim this PR ships the same way, mechanically
against the merge base: all 82 FILE-delta claims in the ack fragment match the
real per-file delta exactly, and the 1,629-byte reference and 63-byte import
line check out. One class was imprecise: the 41 notes for workflows whose
inline directive was rewritten in place quoted the conversion counterfactual as
"+1,692 bytes more loaded context", which is the reference form's whole weight,
not the increase over the inline directive those files already carry. Each now
names both quantities and the net (+1,605 / +1,609 / +1,584).

* fix(#2529): one rule for pinned vs inherited coverage, and the docs to pick it

Review measured that 14 of the 35 pinned fragments would pass by inheritance
anyway, and that the PR asserted both readings at once: inheritance is real
coverage (so those 14 pins are noise) or it is not (so 30 inheriting fragments
are green-but-uncovered). Only one can be true.

Inheritance is real: the predicate proves it per file -- the parent must
dispatch this exact path from a read/execute context AND be covered itself --
so the parent's directive is in the loaded context by the time the fragment is
read. The 14 pins are therefore removed along with the directive lines they
pinned, and those files inherit like the 30 structurally identical ones. The
rule is now stated where the set is declared, and enforced from the other side
by a test: no member of the pinned set may be one that would have inherited.
That is what decides the form for the next fragment.

- pinned set 35 -> 21; 14 workflow files revert to their base content
- `findViolations` no longer returns early on a pinned path: a file that becomes
  eagerly loaded and takes the shared reference is strictly better off, and the
  gate must not red that. The reference form is admitted because its own wording
  is validated in turn; an arbitrary reworded inline line still fails.
- the reference-directive cache is keyed by size and mtime, not by path alone,
  so a rewritten reference re-asked in one process no longer returns the stale
  verdict
- `carriesInlineDirective` names its negation blindness: four independent hits
  read vocabulary, not polarity
- the real-tree scan asserts each source produced files instead of `> 152`, a
  constant that read as the workflow count and would have passed a scan that
  lost one of its two directories
- the pinned-set size assertion goes the same way: the size follows from the
  rule, so the rule is what the suite asserts

Docs, for the gate that now governs every future workflow:
- `docs/contributing/response-language-coverage.md` -- why the narration class
  is the discriminator, the four coverage forms, the decision order that picks
  one, the pinned line, and what each failure message means
- a row in CONTRIBUTING.md's CI checks table, matching the docs-guard row
- `docs/CONFIGURATION.md` points at it from the `response_language` entry

Also: the changeset said 45 reworded workflows; it is 44 (42 @-reference + 21
pinned + 44 rewritten = 107 touched). That text ships to CHANGELOG.md.

`3707-parse-gap-reporting.json` landed on `next` reclaiming `audit-uat.md` and
`progress.md`; both handed back by the append route, leaving 82 keys here.

* fix(#2529): correct the reference-taker count, 43 -> 42

The ack notes said the import line is byte-identical "in each of the 43
workflows that take the reference" and that the alternative would be "43 inline
copies". The shared reference has 42 importers; the 43rd file in review's table
is `execute-phase.md`, which imports the OTHER reference. Corrected in all 41
notes that carry the sentence, across this PR's fragment and the two it appends
to.

Found by re-running the numeric audit from the previous round after the rebase,
which also re-verified all 84 FILE-delta claims against the new base -- all
exact.

* chore(#2529): migrate the emitted-drift ack from a fragment to commit trailers

ADR-3942 (#3954) landed while this PR was open: the acknowledgment is now a commit
trailer and tests/emitted-drift-acks/ no longer exists. The fragment is deleted and
each key it declared becomes one trailer, reasons unchanged.

The four keys this PR had handed to 3034-*, 3172-* and 3707-* under the one-source
rule come home here. That rule was the whole reason for the hand-backs, and the
trailer model has no shared namespace to collide in -- five of this PR's rounds were
spent on exactly those collisions.

The repo's size gates — the tier hard caps in `tests/workflow-size-budget.test.cjs` and this size ratchet — measure the FILE, not the transitive inline, so they see 63 of those 1,692 bytes; the remaining 1,629 are declared here because no gate reads them. The eager import is accepted on its merits, not hidden: 42 inline copies would be 43 places for the wording to drift, and the reference is the one place it is maintained. Prose only: no step, gate, tool invocation, or subagent dispatch shape changed.

FILE delta and LOADED-CONTEXT delta are both +87 here, and that identity is the point — the directive was deliberately NOT converted to an `@`-reference, because an `@`-import in this repo is EAGER (ADR-1610 Decision point 4; docs/ARCHITECTURE.md: moving prose into a file that is still eagerly `@`-imported "shrinks the measured file without shrinking loaded context"), so the conversion would have bought a smaller measured file at a cost of 1,692 bytes of loaded context per workflow — the 63-byte import line plus the 1,629-byte reference — against the 87 bytes this inline directive costs, a net +1,605. Stated plainly because the gates cannot state it: the repo's size gates — the tier hard caps in `tests/workflow-size-budget.test.cjs` and this size ratchet — measure the FILE, not the transitive inline, so an `@`-reference conversion would have READ as a smaller change to every gate in the repo while costing 1,605 bytes more loaded context per invocation.

Emitted-Drift-Ack-Growth: discuss-phase.md — #2529 round 36: this workflow's inline directive was rewritten in round 10 to name inter-tool narration, but in the compressed form, and that rewrite came to −1 byte against `next` — so it declared no growth and this key was absent from this PR's ack set until now. Round 36 replaces the compressed clause with the same enumeration the other rewordings carry — narration between tool calls, status updates, progress notes, findings, questions, prompts, and explanations — because `discuss-phase.md` started from the identical upstream sentence as `verify-work.md` and `new-milestone.md` and those two took the full list, so the shorthand was an inconsistency rather than a decision. +87 bytes against `next`, prose only: no step, gate, tool invocation, or subagent dispatch shape changed. The directive stays INLINE rather than becoming an `@`-reference, because an `@`-import in this repo is EAGER (ADR-1610 Decision point 4; docs/ARCHITECTURE.md: moving prose into a file that is still eagerly `@`-imported "shrinks the measured file without shrinking loaded context"), so the conversion would have cost 1,692 bytes of loaded context against the 87 this sentence costs. `commands/gsd/discuss-phase.md` dispatches this workflow lazily (`Read and execute ...`) rather than `@`-importing it, so the 87 bytes land in the installed file and are read once the workflow is dispatched, not on every command invocation.

* fix(#2529): read the catalog-relative dispatch spelling, and the plural of "output"

Two false positives in the coverage lint, both surfaced by this round's work
rather than by a red gate finding them for us.

#3552 landed `execute-phase/steps/protected-branch.md` on next while this PR was
open, dispatched from execute-phase.md's `"none"` arm with the path written
RELATIVE to the catalog. `namesFragmentAsEntryPoint` only ever looked for the
`gsd-core/workflows/`-rooted spelling, so it read a live dispatch as no dispatch
and the new fragment as uncovered. It now accepts both spellings and matches the
relative one on a path boundary, so `vendor/<path>` cannot vouch for `<path>`.

Recognizing that spelling makes one pin redundant: execute-phase.md dispatches
executor-isolation-dispatch.md the same way, so the fragment inherits and its
own copy of the sentence comes back out. That is the rule round 29 encoded,
enforced by the test that measures it rather than by hand.

`output` was the one term in USER_OUTPUT_RE without an `s?`, so "translate all
outputs, including narration between tool calls" read as uncovered. The new
property tests caught it on their first run.

Those properties pin the rule the hand-written cases are instances of: four
signals on ONE line accept, dropping any one rejects, spreading them across
lines rejects. The vocabulary is written out in the test rather than read back
from the script's regexes, per CONTRIBUTING.md "Fixture provenance (#2371)" -- a
generator seeded from the matcher can only re-derive what the matcher already
believes, and that independence is what caught the plural. Both new properties
are mutation-verified: dropping the narration predicate reds the necessity
property, and collapsing the document to a single line reds the cross-line one.

* enhance(#2529): spell the narration enumeration out in the last two shorthand directives

discuss-phase.md and plan-phase.md were the only two of this PR's 44
rewordings that abbreviated the inserted clause to "narration between tool
calls included" instead of naming the output classes the way the rest of them
do. Both forms satisfy the lint's four predicates, so nothing was broken --
but the point of #2529 is that an author reading one workflow should not have
to infer what the neighbouring one means by "included".

Both abbreviations were size decisions rather than wording ones, and both
reasons have since expired because next shrank the files. discuss-phase.md
sat 25 bytes under the 32,000-byte #717 dispatcher budget and now has 1,825;
plan-phase.md sat 87 bytes under the 94,519-byte ADR-857 capstone ratchet
against a +108 clause and now has 3,180. Neither budget is raised here and no
unrelated prose is trimmed; workflow-size-budget and
phase6-capstone-conformance both pass.

discuss-phase.md started from the identical upstream sentence as verify-work.md
and new-milestone.md ("All user-facing questions, prompts, and explanations in
this workflow"), and those two received the full enumeration; it now matches
them exactly. plan-phase.md keeps its own scope word ("orchestrator output") and
its subagent pass-through instruction, both upstream's, and only trades the
shorthand for the enumeration.

The shorthand now appears nowhere in the catalog. The two remaining variants
(plan-review-convergence.md, spec-phase.md) keep upstream's own verb and scope
and end on "report prose", which is what those workflows actually emit --
rewriting those would change a directive's strength, not its wording.

* fix(#2529): match the workflow extension case-insensitively in coverage discovery

`findMarkdownFilesRecursive` filtered on `entry.name.endsWith('.md')`, so
`SETTINGS.MD` — the same file to Windows and macOS, a different one to Linux —
was skipped on the only platform whose verdict gates the merge. The direction of
that failure is the problem: a workflow the walk declines to see is a workflow
this lint certifies by omission, which is the same vacuous pass `main()` already
refuses when discovery returns nothing at all.

The filter is now an allowlist keyed on the lowercased `path.extname`.
`.mdx` stays out on purpose: admitting an extension states what a workflow IS,
and that claim has a second half — `inheritsParentCoverage` resolves a
fragment's parent as `<workflow>.md`. An `.mdx` entry belongs here next to the
parent resolution it would have to move with, not ahead of it.

Two tests: an uppercase-extension file is discovered AND lands as a violation
rather than an exemption, and every admitted extension is spelled so the
lowercasing match can reach it (an uppercase or dotless entry would be dead
configuration that reads like coverage).

* enhance(#2529): cover the quick-batch workflow that #3676 landed uncovered

`next` gained `quick-batch.md` and nine step fragments in 2f64e6230 (#3676,
PR #4212) with no response-language directive, so the merge result reds this
PR's own lint with 10 violations. The lint is doing exactly what it exists to
do; the coverage is what has to move.

`quick-batch.md` takes the shared @-reference on line 1, the same as the other
42 top-level workflows, and eight of the nine fragments then inherit through
its `read and execute` stubs. The ninth does not:
`quick-batch/steps/plan-checker-loop.md` is dispatched by a SIBLING fragment
(`planner-wave.md:134`) and named in the parent only inside a parenthetical
with no dispatch verb, which is the shape round 29's rule already covers for
`execute-phase/steps/regression-gate-run.md` and
`plan-phase/steps/prd-express-path.md`. It carries the pinned inline directive
and joins `EXACT_INLINE_DIRECTIVE_WORKFLOWS`; the comment above that set now
names four such fragments instead of three. Coverage: 163 workflows.

`FULL_BUDGET` in tests/skill-frontmatter-contract.test.cjs moves 844 -> 846.
The same commit grew `help/modes/full.md` from 834 to 844 lines, landing it
exactly on the ceiling with zero slack, and the two lines this PR adds there
are its pinned directive and the blank separating it. That is a coverage
contract every workflow carries, not the content creep the budget guards.
The #597 ratchet rule holds: actualMax 846, slack 0, well inside LARGE_GRACE.

Emitted-Drift-Ack-Growth: quick-batch.md — #2529: the workflow arrived on `next` in 2f64e6230 (#3676, PR #4212) with no response-language directive, so this PR's lint reds on the merge result; covering it is the PR's whole contract, not an optional extra. It gains the shared directive as a single eager `@`-reference line, the identical form the other 42 top-level workflows take. FILE delta: +62 bytes, as the gate measures it. LOADED-CONTEXT delta: +1,691 bytes — the import line plus the 1,629 bytes of `gsd-core/references/response-language-directive.md`, because an `@`-import in this repo is EAGER (ADR-1610 Decision point 4; docs/ARCHITECTURE.md: moving prose into a file that is still eagerly `@`-imported "shrinks the measured file without shrinking loaded context"). The repo's size gates read the FILE and not the transitive inline, so they see 62 of those 1,691 bytes; the remaining 1,629 are declared here because no gate reads them. Prose only: no step, gate, tool invocation, or subagent dispatch shape changed. Nine `quick-batch/steps/*` fragments are covered without a byte of their own — eight inherit through the parent's dispatch stubs, and the ninth takes the pinned inline sentence, which the emitted surface does not measure.

* fix(#2529): scope row 48 by what a diff says, not by which paths it names

`tests/gsd-quick-batch-quick-regression.test.cjs` treats any branch touching a
`quick-batch` path as #3676 phase work, then forbids it from editing ordinary
`quick.md`. This PR covers EVERY workflow with the shared response-language
directive — quick-batch.md and its fragments included — so the scope check
turned true, and the row read this PR's one-line directive on `quick.md` as a
phase violation.

That is the false positive the row's own #3730 note already scoped away from,
arriving by the other door: not an unrelated branch that misses the surface,
but a catalog-wide sweep that touches all of it. A path now counts as phase
work only when its diff says something other than the coverage contract, and
the two accepted directive forms are read from
`scripts/lint-response-language-coverage.cjs` rather than restated, so a
reworded contract cannot leave the carve-out matching prose the lint no longer
recognizes. A file the branch ADDED still counts — every line is new, which is
what a real #3676-phase branch looks like.

The invariant is unweakened in the direction that matters: a phase branch that
edits `commands/gsd/quick.md`, `gsd-core/workflows/quick.md` or anything under
`quick/steps/` for any reason other than the directive still fails the row.

# GSD Shipped Surface Inventory
> Authoritative roster of every shipped GSD surface: commands, agents, workflows, references, CLI modules, and hooks. Where the broad docs (AGENTS.md, COMMANDS.md, ARCHITECTURE.md, CLI-TOOLS.md) diverge from the filesystem, treat this file and the repository tree itself as the source of truth.
## How To Use This File
- The machine-readable roster lives in `docs/INVENTORY-MANIFEST.json` (regenerated by `scripts/gen-inventory-manifest.cjs --write`). For live counts, run `ls agents/gsd-*.md | wc -l` etc. against the checkout.
- This file enumerates every shipped surface across all six families (agents, commands, workflows, references, CLI modules, hooks). Broad docs may render narrative or curated subsets; when they disagree with the filesystem, this file and the directory listings are authoritative.
- New surfaces should land here first, then propagate to the broad docs. `tests/inventory-manifest-sync.test.cjs` anchors both halves: the manifest against the filesystem, and this file's rows against the manifest (#3762). The second half cannot be regenerated — a role sentence is hand-written by design, so re-running `gen-inventory-manifest.cjs` never clears it.
This is the authoritative roster of every shipped GSD Core surface. See the [docs index](README.md) to navigate by topic.
---
## Agents
Full roster at `agents/gsd-*.md`. The "Primary doc" column flags whether [`docs/AGENTS.md`](AGENTS.md) carries a full role card (*primary*), a short stub in the "Advanced and Specialized Agents" section (*advanced stub*), or no coverage (*inventory only*).

| gsd-phase-researcher | Researches implementation approach for a specific phase before planning. | `/gsd-plan-phase` | primary |
| gsd-ui-researcher | Produces UI design contracts for frontend phases. | `/gsd-ui-phase` | primary |
| gsd-assumptions-analyzer | Produces evidence-backed assumptions for discuss-phase (assumptions mode). | `discuss-phase-assumptions` workflow | primary |

## Commands
Full roster at `commands/gsd/*.md`. The groupings below mirror `docs/COMMANDS.md` section order; each row carries the command name, a one-line role derived from the command's frontmatter `description:`, and a link to the source file. `tests/command-count-sync.test.cjs` locks the count against the filesystem.
### Namespace Meta-Skills
These six routers are descriptor-only entries that the model picks first; the body of each contains a routing table that points at the correct concrete sub-skill. They exist to keep the eager skill-listing token cost low while the full surface remains reachable. See [#2792](https://github.com/open-gsd/gsd-core/issues/2792) for the rationale; the routing tables target the post-[#2790](https://github.com/open-gsd/gsd-core/issues/2790) consolidated surface.

> **Note:** Some workflows have no direct user-facing command (e.g. `execute-plan.md`, `transition.md`, `node-repair.md`, `diagnose-issues.md`) — they are invoked internally by orchestrator workflows. (The former `verify-phase` workflow — goal-backward verification with no loader of its own — was deleted in #1892; its still-live gates moved to `references/verifier-phase-gates.md` behind `gsd-verifier`.)
### Workflow Sub-Files
A workflow may own two kinds of sub-file. Both live under `gsd-core/workflows/<workflow>/` and
neither is separately invocable — the parent workflow reaches them.
| Subdirectory | What it holds | Manifest family | Roster |
|---|---|---|---|
| `<workflow>/steps/*.md` | Gated section bodies extracted by the fragment model (ADR-1671, epic #1671 Phases 6.1–6.3). The parent carries a `section_manifest`-gated stub; `gsd-core/workflows/section-manifest.json` names which step a given invocation reads. | `workflow_steps` | See `docs/INVENTORY-MANIFEST.json` for the authoritative per-file list |
| `<workflow>/modes/*.md` | Progressive-disclosure mode files (#717). The parent dispatches to exactly one; `discuss-phase/modes/` is the canonical example. | `workflow_modes` | `discuss-phase`, `help` |
Both families are keyed by `<workflow>/<subdir>/<file>.md` rather than a bare filename, because two
workflows may each own a step of the same name — `families.workflows` uses bare basenames and
cannot represent these without collision.
**Adding a step or mode file requires no hand-written row here.** Run
`node scripts/gen-inventory-manifest.cjs --write` (after `build:lib`) and the manifest picks it up;
`tests/inventory-manifest-sync.test.cjs` fails if you forget. The per-file roster deliberately lives
in `docs/INVENTORY-MANIFEST.json` rather than being duplicated in this table — 60 rows that must be
hand-maintained in lockstep with a generated artifact is the drift this file exists to catch.

### Workflow References
| Reference | Role |
|-----------|------|
| `agent-contracts.md` | Formal interface between orchestrators and agents. |
| `context-budget.md` | Context window budget allocation rules. |
| `execute-phase-context-guard.md` | Context exhaustion guard step for `execute-phase` wave loop — `workflow.context_guard_mode` dispatch table (warn/auto/off) and POOR-tier pause-work trigger (#1452). |
| `execute-phase-requirement-revert.md` | Gap-report step for `execute-phase` — reverts this phase's own shared requirement IDs out of `Complete` in REQUIREMENTS.md before rendering a `gaps_found` report, scoped to `PHASE_REQ_IDS` so other phases' rows are untouched (#2388). |
| `execute-phase-response-language.md` | Response-language directive for `execute-phase` orchestrator output (questions, narration, report-template prose); extracted to keep the workflow under the frozen pre-phase-6 byte ceiling (#2402). |
| `execute-phase-quota-recovery.md` | Step 7.1 detail for `execute-phase` — `quota-exceeded` recovery: the opt-in `dynamic_routing.provider_escalation` ladder (swap provider, honor `Retry-After`, fail loudly when spent) and the default manual wait-for-reset prompt (#2296). |
| `execute-phase-between-wave-reset.md` | Between-wave manifest reset and worktree base refresh for waves 2+, plus the pre-wave cross-plan key-links dependency check (#1369). |
| `execute-phase-wave-guard.md` | Inter-wave worktree base re-check for wave N+1 — the harness caches the fork base, so a fresh worktree would otherwise be cut from the stale pre-wave base (#1369, #2652). |
| `offer-next.md` | The `offer_next` step body extracted from `execute-phase.md` — auto-advance routing and the no-transition check (#2537). |
| `response-language-directive.md` | Shared response-language directive for workflow output, inter-tool narration, and translated report-template prose (#2529). |
| `continuation-format.md` | Session continuation/resume format. |
| `domain-probes.md` | Domain-specific probing questions for discuss-phase. |
| `edge-probe.md` | Spec-phase edge-completeness probe — 8-category edge taxonomy, shape classification, and the `requirements → checks → verifier` resolution model (Step 5.5). |
| `prohibition-probe.md` | Spec-phase prohibition-completeness probe — the two-stage adversarial-recall → precision protocol that surfaces the unwritten *must-NOT* constraints (values/safety/ethics), with status×verification (`test`/`judgment`) tiering and canon-referral breadcrumbs (Step 5.6); second adapter of the `probe-core` resolution model. |
| `ui-consideration-probe.md` | UI-phase state-completeness probe — the closed shape-rooted UI-state taxonomy (empty/loading/error/populated/partial/overflow/zero-one-many/long-text), element-cue relevance filter, and `{explicit, backstop}` tiering; third adapter of the `probe-core` model (ADR-550 D7), run at ui-phase Step 9.5; the MIXED axis routes open UX (real-time/a11y/i18n-RTL) to `domain-probes.md` (#1867). |
| `honest-verifier.md` | Verify-time abstention on non-inferable (`backstop`) truths — the truth-axis mirror of the prohibition judgment-tier disposition (ADR-550 D4): a `backstop` truth the verifier can't confirm with explicit evidence abstains → `human_needed` (reason `insufficient_spec`), never a silent pass (#1154). |
| `gate-prompts.md` | Gate/checkpoint prompt templates. |
| `loop-hook-dispatch.md` | Generic dispatch contract for consuming `gsd_run loop render-hooks <point> --raw` output in any host-loop workflow — envelope shape, per-kind dispatch rules (contribution/step/gate), and liveness banner. |
| `scout-codebase.md` | Phase-type→codebase-map selection table for discuss-phase scout step (extracted via the discuss-phase/modes progressive-disclosure split, #717). |
| `revision-loop.md` | Plan revision iteration patterns. |
| `reviewer-instances.md` | Custom reviewer instances for `/gsd-review` (#1517) — same-adapter multi-model review: config shape, resolution rules, invocation, and the REVIEWS.md contract. Lazily loaded by `review.md` when `review.reviewer_instances` is configured. |
| `universal-anti-patterns.md` | Universal anti-patterns to detect and avoid. |
| `worktree-branch-check.md` | Canonical spawn-time worktree HEAD/base guard (worktree_branch_check): verify-only and fail-closed — per-agent-branch assertion, protected-ref refusal (#2924), and an exact-base assertion that halts with `exit 42` on mismatch so the orchestrator (worktree lifecycle owner) performs recovery (#48). Embedded into worktree sub-agent prompts at dispatch. |
| `runtime-aware-dispatch.md` | Runtime-aware subagent dispatch protocol (#2508 Phase 4 Option A): before any `Agent(subagent_type="gsd-*")` call, resolve the type via `gsd_run query resolve-dispatch-type --requested <name> --raw`. On named-dispatch runtimes (Claude/OpenCode/…) the name is returned unchanged; on built-in-only runtimes (kimi-code) it maps to `coder`/`explore`/`plan` by role-suffix. The persona rides `${AGENT_SKILLS_<ROLE>}` (Phase 3) regardless. Documents why a PreToolUse-remap hook (the epic's original Option B) is infeasible — Kimi Code's hook API supports only allow/deny, not tool_input rewriting. |
| `dispatch-isolation-gate.md` | Canonical gate deciding whether a dispatch site may run an agent isolated (#2584/#2652): resolves `ISOLATION` from the negotiated `dispatch.isolation` capability — never from a runtime id — fails closed to `none`, resolves the host's declared `harnessFlag` instead of hardcoding Claude Code's `isolation="worktree"` literal, and degrades single-agent sites to sequential on `orchestrator-worktree` hosts. Read by `quick.md`, `diagnose-issues.md`, and `execute-plan.md`. |
| `worktree-path-safety.md` | Worktree guard suite: HEAD assertion, cwd-drift sentinel (step 0a, #3097), and absolute-path guard (step 0b, #3099) — loaded into executor spawn prompts via `<execution_context>`. |
| `untrusted-input-boundary.md` | Shared prompt-injection boundary (#1577) `@`-included by the 10 research/doc-ingest agents (`gsd-project-researcher`, `gsd-phase-researcher`, `gsd-ui-researcher`, `gsd-assumptions-analyzer`, `gsd-advisor-researcher`, `gsd-doc-classifier`, `gsd-doc-synthesizer`, `gsd-research-synthesizer`, `gsd-ai-researcher`, `gsd-domain-researcher`): treat fetched/read text as data-not-instructions, self-scan before use (PromptArmor 2507.15219), task-anchor (2504.20472), and fence quoted text with a fresh random delimiter per wrap (PPA 2506.05739). Prompt-level defense-in-depth (2503.00061); the hook scanner is a separate pattern pre-filter. |
| `artifact-types.md` | Planning artifact type definitions. |
| `phase-argument-parsing.md` | Phase argument parsing conventions. |
| `decimal-phase-calculation.md` | Decimal sub-phase numbering rules. |
| `workstream-flag.md` | Workstream active-pointer conventions (`--ws`). |
| `user-profiling.md` | User behavioral profiling detection heuristics. |
| `thinking-partner.md` | Conditional thinking-partner activation at decision points. |
| `autonomous-smart-discuss.md` | Smart-discuss logic for autonomous mode. |
| `autonomous-ui-design-contract.md` | Autonomous-mode step 3a.5 — resolve whether a frontend phase needs a UI-SPEC.md and generate one through active `plan:pre` hooks; always non-blocking. |
| `ios-scaffold.md` | iOS application scaffolding patterns. |
| `ai-evals.md` | AI evaluation design reference for `/gsd-ai-integration-phase`. |
| `api-coverage.md` | API-coverage gate reference (full-coverage-by-default) for the `ai-integration` capability's `verify:pre` blocking gate (#1562) — matrix format, trigger, tuning, detector CLI, and the seal-time outcome table naming every pass/block arm including `scope_unavailable` (#3909). |
| `ai-frameworks.md` | AI framework decision-matrix reference for `gsd-framework-selector`. |
| `executor-examples.md` | Worked examples for the gsd-executor agent. |
| `plan-checker-examples.md` | Worked example for the gsd-plan-checker agent (Scope Exceeded), moved out of the inline `<examples>` block to keep worked examples structurally separate from the agent contract, matching the other agents' reference layout. `@`-inlined at load (eager), so this costs ~0.6 KB of runtime context versus keeping it inline — a readability trade, not a size-cap remedy (#3724). |
| `doc-conflict-engine.md` | Shared conflict-detection contract for ingest/import workflows. |
| `execute-mvp-tdd.md` | Runtime gate semantics for execute-phase under TDD mode — pre-task failing-test verification, end-of-phase blocking review. |
| `mvp-concepts.md` | Cross-reference index for the six MVP-related reference files; maps each file to its purpose and which workflow loads it. |
| `verify-mvp-mode.md` | UAT framing rules for MVP-mode phases — user-flow-first ordering, deferred technical checks, user-story-format guard. |

| `thinking-models-verification.md` | Thinking-model patterns for verification agents. |
### Modular Planner Decomposition
The `gsd-planner` agent is decomposed into a core agent plus reference modules to fit runtime character limits.
| Reference | Role |
|-----------|------|
| `planner-antipatterns.md` | Planner anti-patterns and specificity examples. |
| `planner-chunked.md` | Chunked mode return formats (`## OUTLINE COMPLETE`, `## PLAN COMPLETE`) for Windows stdio hang mitigation. |
| `planner-gap-closure.md` | Gap-closure mode behavior (reads VERIFICATION.md, targeted replanning). |
| `planner-guidance.md` | Expository planner guidance: philosophy, task types/sizing, interface-first ordering, user setup, dependency graph, granularity calibration, and structured-return templates. |
| `planner-quick-batch.md` | Quick-batch mode behavior (#3676, epic #3344, ADR-1239 "Quick-batch binding"): `depends_on`/`files_modified` frontmatter ALWAYS required (never gated on `--validate`), referencing only sibling `quick_id`s from the batch task catalog — reuses the existing frontmatter grammar, no new keys. |
| `planner-reviews.md` | Cross-AI review integration (reads REVIEWS.md from `/gsd-review`). |
| `planner-revision.md` | Plan revision patterns for iterative refinement. |
| `planner-source-audit.md` | Planner source-audit and authority-limit rules. |
| `planner-mvp-mode.md` | Vertical-slice planning rules for MVP mode. |
| `planner-preconditions.md` | Emission rules for the optional `<precondition>` task element (issue #1949, Design by Contract): when to emit, the three cases (user_setup / prior-phase artifact / env-var), format, anti-patterns, and the contract triad mapping. |
| `planner-reversibility.md` | Canonical reversibility taxonomy for the optional `<reversibility>` task element (issue #1951): the three ratings (`reversible` / `costly` / `one-way`), the `checkpoint:decision` insertion rule for one-way doors, the `--no-reversibility-gates` override, and the checkpoint-fatigue anti-patterns. |
| `planner-human-verify-mode.md` | Rules for `workflow.human_verify_mode = end-of-phase`: suppress `checkpoint:human-verify` task emission and route deferred items via `<verify><human-check>`. |
| `planner-graphify-auto-update.md` | How `load_graph_context` surfaces `.last-build-status.json` auto-update state (running / failed / stale head) alongside the existing staleness annotation. Opt-in via `graphify.auto_update` (#3347). |

| `planner-load-graph-context.md` | Planner's load_graph_context step: knowledge-graph freshness + dependency-context query via the gsd_run launcher (extracted from gsd-planner.md). |
| `planner-verify-command-grounding.md` | Verify Command Grounding rules (#2401): inherit `prior_verify_commands` verbatim when the story repeats, prefer `npm --prefix <dir> run <script>` over `cd <dir> && npm run <script>`, and ground every authored path. |
| `planner-coupling.md` | Same-wave shared-mutable-state coupling rules (#3724): when non-file coupling requires `depends_on` or a re-wave, and the `coupling_justified` frontmatter declaration that plan-checker Dimension 3b recognizes for deliberately order-independent pairs. |
| `planner-failing-direction.md` | Stated Failing Direction rules (#3172): every runnable `<automated>` carries a `<fails_when>` sibling naming an observable failure signal, the pairing and placeholder rules, the `MISSING` sentinel exemption, and the authoring test ("if this command were silently doing nothing, what would tell me?"). |
| `skeleton-template.md` | SKELETON.md template emitted for new-project Walking Skeleton (Phase 1 + `--mvp`). |
| `user-story-template.md` | User story format for MVP planning — "As a / I want to / So that" structured fields. |
| `specless-probe-fallback.md` | Spec-less probe fallback protocol — gate (toggle + per-section absence via the shared `spec-section` helper), the deterministic edge probe (mirrors spec-phase 5.5), the in-planner prohibition recall, and the `must_haves` authoring lift; consumed by plan-phase step 7.95 when a phase SPEC omits `## Edge Coverage` / `## Prohibitions` (ADR-857 Phase 6). |
| `spidr-splitting.md` | SPIDR splitting decomposition rules for handling large user stories in MVP mode. |
> **Subdirectory:** `gsd-core/references/few-shot-examples/` contains additional few-shot examples (`plan-checker.md`, `verifier.md`) that are referenced from specific agents. These are not among the top-level references.

| `api-coverage.cjs` | API-coverage detector + matrix validator (#1562, #2365) — pure `detectApiIntegration` (fail-closed: same-clause verb+noun signal + `<Service> API/SDK` surface naming a real service; strips fenced code, inline code, and path-shaped tokens; external hosts count, first-party route paths do not) and `validateCoverageMatrix`/`parseCoverageMatrix`/`renderCoverageMatrix` for the COVERAGE.md artifact (incl. the `No external API integration: <reason>` declaration); STDIN CLI (`echo "$SCOPE" \| node .../api-coverage.cjs [--json]`, exit 0=detected/1=none/NO_INPUT=empty-or-whitespace-only stdin/UNAVAILABLE=stdin read failed — registry codes, ADR-3889 Phase 3, #3907); consumed by the `ai-integration` capability's `plan:pre` contribution and blocking `verify:pre` gate (`check api-coverage.verify-pre`) |
| `artifacts.cjs` | Canonical artifact registry — known `.planning/` root file names; used by `gsd-health` W019 lint |
| `assumption-delta.cjs` | Detects identity-model assumption transitions in phase text for discuss-phase assumptions mode (#1561); STDIN CLI (`echo "$PHASE_SECTION" \| node .../assumption-delta.cjs [--json]`, exit 0=detected/1=none/NO_INPUT=empty-or-whitespace-only stdin/UNAVAILABLE=stdin read failed — registry codes, ADR-3889 Phase 3, #3907) |
| `audit-command-router.cjs` | ADR-959 capability command router for `gsd-tools audit-uat` and `gsd-tools audit-open` — extracted from hardcoded cases in `gsd-tools.cjs`; dispatches to `uat.cjs:cmdAuditUat` and `audit.cjs:{auditOpenArtifacts,formatAuditReport}`; phase 4d-impl-3 |
| `audit.cjs` | Audit dispatch, audit open sessions, audit storage helpers |
| `capability-activation.cjs` | Capability activation resolver shared by config validation and capability-state consumers — resolves registry-owned config keys from raw runtime config without re-centralizing migrated settings |
| `capability-command-router.cjs` | ADR-2346 P2 host command router for `gsd-tools capability` — relocated verbatim from the former 706-line `case 'capability':` arm in `gsd-tools.cjs`; dispatched via `HOST_COMMAND_ROUTERS` in `runCommand`'s default case; wires `capability-lifecycle`/`-trust`/`-consent`/`-state`/`-writer`; hand-authored CJS (sibling of `ensure-runtime-build.cjs`) |
| `capability-consent.cjs` | User-owned capability consent store (#1459) — bounded, non-throwing JSON store at `${GSD_HOME\|\|homedir()}/.gsd/consent.json` (NEVER under a repo) keyed by `${realpath(projectRoot)} <id>`; exports `consentStorePath`/`readConsentStore`/`hasProjectConsent` (matches iff integrity AND disclosureSignature both match)/`recordProjectConsent` (atomic+durable write)/`revokeProjectConsent`; the authoritative consent signal that gates PROJECT-scope third-party capability activation so a forged/cloned project ledger no longer activates anything until the user consents on THIS machine |
| `capability-lock.cjs` | Shared cross-process lock primitive (#1459 finding 4) — the SINGLE hardened lockfile protocol used by BOTH capability-lifecycle (`.gsd/capabilities/.lock`) and capability-consent (`.consent.lock`); exports `acquireLock(lockPath, opts?)`/`releaseLock(handle)` with pid + process-start-time liveness identity, a hard deadman, and token+inode owner-safe release — NEVER stale-steals a verified-live same-host holder, reclaims only a provably-dead/unverifiable holder, never deadlocks; `opts.maxAttempts`/`opts.waitForFresh` let the consent store serialize genuinely-contended writers; `_setLockProbes`/`_resetLockProbes` are test seams |
| `capability-ledger.cjs` | Per-runtime install ledger (ADR-1244 D4) — atomic read/write of `.gsd-capabilities.json` recording `{ id, version, source, integrity, files[], sharedEdits[] }` per installed capability; exports `readLedger`/`writeLedger`/`recordInstall`/`removeEntry`/`reconcile` (orphan detection)/`readSmallRegularFile` (utf8) + `readSmallRegularFileBuffer` (raw bytes, the byte-exact consent-hash reader, #1459 finding 1); atomic commit point and reconciliation basis for Phase-4 upgrade/remove |
| `capability-lifecycle.cjs` | Capability lifecycle orchestration (ADR-1244 Phase 4, D5+D6) — composes the source resolver + ledger + trust gate into `installCapability`/`upgradeCapability`/`removeCapability`/`reconcileCapabilities`; ledger write is the commit point; upgrade is atomic stage-then-swap (old set aside, new swapped in, ledger committed, backup dropped) with deterministic crash recovery (`reconcileCapabilities` rolls forward/back to a fully-old-or-fully-new state); remove surgically strips only marker-stamped (`_gsdCapability`) shared-config entries, preserving user hand-edits; never executes capability code |
| `capability-loader.cjs` | Runtime Capability Registry overlay (ADR-1244 D2) — `loadRegistry({ includeInstalled })` composes the frozen first-party registry with a validated installed overlay read from `$GSD_HOME/.gsd/capabilities/<id>/` (global) and `<projectRoot>/.gsd/capabilities/<id>/` (project); first-party-wins on id/skill/agent/config collisions, reserved-namespace rejection, load-time `engines.gsd` re-gate (skip-with-warning), and gate-kind fail-open via `_overlay.blockedGates` — a loud warning (stderr + envelope `warnings`) naming the load failure and `gsd capability remove <id>` remediation; no gate injected (#2009); composes through the canonical `buildRegistry` so derived views never drift |
| `capability-registry.cjs` | Generated central Capability Registry — role-partitioned index of all co-located capability declarations (`capabilities/<id>/capability.json`); emitted by `scripts/gen-capability-registry.cjs --write` (ADR-894 §5) |
| `capability-source.cjs` | Capability source resolver (ADR-1244 D3) — `resolveCapabilitySource(spec, opts)` fetches and stages a capability from local path, git (https/ssh/git transports only), npm pack (no lifecycle scripts), tarball (sha512 integrity verify before extraction), or registry (stub); tar-slip/symlink rejection; atomic staging to `$GSD_HOME/.gsd/capabilities/<id>/`; no capability code executes during install |
| `capability-state.cjs` | Unified capability-state resolver (ADR-857 phase 4b/6) — composes install profile, runtime surface, and config activation into one per-capability view consumed by workflow hook rendering; exports pure `resolveCapabilityState`, reusable `resolveCapabilityRuntimeState`, and I/O handler `cmdCapabilityState`; command surface: `gsd-tools capability state [--config-dir <path>]` emitting `{ runtimeConfigDir, capabilities[] }` |
| `capability-trust.cjs` | Capability trust gate (ADR-1244 Phase 4, D5 + compatibility half of D6) — PURE policy module: `discloseExecutableSurfaces` (hooks/command modules/mcpServers), `evaluateInstallTrust` (compose source policy + reserved-namespace + engines gate + disclosure → allowed/requiresConsent/blockReasons), `evaluateSourceAllowed` (`strict_known_registries`: permissive/lockdown/host-allowlist), `checkEngines` (engines.gsd hard gate + `compatVersions` graceful-downgrade), `executableSetChanged` (auto-update re-consent trigger); no sandbox — see `docs/explanation/capability-trust-model.md` |
| `capability-validator.cjs` | Shared runtime-callable capability validator (ADR-1244 D2) — extracted from `scripts/gen-capability-registry.cjs` so the build-time generator and the runtime overlay loader share ONE validation implementation (generative-parity guarded); exports `validateCapability`/`validateCrossCapability`/`validateVersionEnvelope`/`validateConsumesGlobal`/… plus the closed-vocabulary sets and `SEMVER_RE` |
| `broken-windows.cjs` | Broken-windows ledger library (issue #1950) — typed IR + I/O for `.planning/WINDOWS.md` (cross-phase defect register); pure `parseLedger`/`renderLedger`/`appendWindow`/`markWaived`/`markFixed`/`openCount` + I/O `cmdWindowsStatus`/`cmdWindowsAppend`/`cmdWindowsWaive`/`cmdWindowsMarkFixed`; frozen `REASON` enum for typed-error assertions; CLI surface `gsd-tools windows status\|append\|waive\|fixed`. Generated from `src/broken-windows.cts` |
| `capability-writer.cjs` | Capability State Writer (ADR-1213) — write-side inverse of the resolver; projects desired per-capability enabled/gates onto surface + config substrates, then re-resolves (assert-and-report); exports `setCapabilityState` and I/O handler `cmdCapabilitySet`; command surface: `gsd-tools capability set <id> [--on\|--off] [--gate <key>=<true\|false>]` |
| `check-command-router.cjs` | Thin CJS subcommand router adapter for `gsd-tools check` |
| `tdd-red-evidence.cjs` | TDD RED-evidence classifier (issue #3770, compiled from `src/tdd-red-evidence.cts`, gitignored) — pure `classifyRedEvidence`/`buildRedEvidenceRecord`: only an intentional failure of the TARGET test (distinctly named, TAP-reported assertion failure with nonzero exit) is `RED_EVIDENCE_OK`; zero-test discovery, fixture/load crashes (file-named failures), nonzero exits without a failing test, unrelated failures, unexpected greens, and malformed records are `INVALID_RED` (fail-closed, never throws); CLI surface `gsd_run check tdd-red-evidence <record.json>` validates the persisted record (command, exit code, failing test, expected, actual) |
| `claude-orchestration-command-router.cjs` | ADR-959 capability command router for Claude orchestration — workflow-backend detection and emission (#1143) |
| `claude-orchestration.cjs` | Claude Orchestration capability (#1143) — Workflow-tool backend detection + emitter; `detectWorkflowBackend` fail-closed gate (`{available, backend: 'workflow'\|'inline', reason}`, degrades to today's inline behavior unless every gate opens) and `emitWorkflowScript` (maps GSD's wave/plan model onto Workflow primitives: wave → sequential `parallel()` barriers, plan → `agent(...)` with per-plan worktree isolation mirroring the inline path). Pure, zero external dependencies, never throws; never invokes the Workflow tool itself |
| `cli-exit.cjs` | `ExitError` class and `runMain()` helper — CLI entrypoints throw `ExitError` instead of calling `process.exit()`; `runMain()` translates the outcome into `process.exitCode` so output flushes cleanly |
| `cjs-command-router-adapter.cjs` | Shared compatibility adapter for manifest-backed CJS command-family routers |
| `cli-skew-check.cjs` | Detects version skew when a stale global CLI shadows the project-local install (#1754) |
| `host-integration-adapters/cline-sdk-binding.cjs` | Cline SDK binding — pure AgentPlugin `beforeTool` planning-artifact guard and `createAgentModel` model-override resolution adapters, no `@cline/sdk` import (ADR-1239 Phase D, #2090) |
| `clock.cjs` | Injectable clock seam (now/sleep) for deterministic lock testing |
| `clusters.cjs` | Skill cluster definitions for the runtime surface module (ADR-0011 Phase 2) |
| `code-review-depth.cjs` | Pure resolver for a code review's depth tier (#2554); exports `resolveCodeReviewDepth({ flagDepth, configDepth, overrides, files, repoRoot })` (→ `{ ok, depth, resolvedDepth, source, matchedRule, downgraded, fileCount }` or `{ ok: false, errors }`), the frozen `REASON` enum, `DEPTH_TIERS`, `LARGE_SCOPE_THRESHOLD`, and the matching primitives `normalizeRelPath`/`ruleMatchesFile`; resolves `--depth=` flag → strongest matching `workflow.code_review_depth_overrides` rule (segment-aware path prefix, no globs) → `workflow.code_review_depth` → `standard`, and owns the >50-file `deep`→`standard` downgrade |
| `code-review-flags.cjs` | Typed flag parser for `/gsd-code-review`; exports `parseCodeReviewFlags(argv)` (→ `{ fix, all, auto, depth, files }`) and `resolveCodeReviewWorkflow(flags)` (→ `'code-review.md' \| 'code-review-fix.md'`); canonical dispatch seam for `--fix`/`--all`/`--auto` routing |
| `codex-agent-toml.cjs` | Typed IR (genuine leaf) for `~/.codex/agents/<agent>.toml` — `parseCodexAgentToml`/`renderCodexAgentToml` round-trip byte-identically; `stripModel`/`stripReasoningEffort` remove exactly one targeted line; `scanTomlLines`/`stripBOM`/`findDeveloperInstructionsBlockRange`/`unquoteTomlValue` are the lenient reader primitives moved here from `agent-install-check.cjs` (#3242 Phase 2); consumed by the Codex `.toml` sync (`commands.cjs cmdEffortSyncCodex`, ADR-2313 D7, #3243) |
| `command-aliases.cjs` | Alias/subcommand metadata for manifest-backed family routers |
| `commonjs-marker.cjs` | Ownership-guarded `{"type":"commonjs"}` marker used to pin GSD's staged `.js` scripts to CommonJS; exports `classifyMarker` (absent/gsd-owned/foreign, fail-closed), `ensureCommonJsMarker`, and `removeCommonJsMarker` so install and uninstall share one predicate and never touch a user-authored `package.json` (#2544) |
| `command-arg-projection.cjs` | Strict, `Result`-returning flag and positional argument projection helpers shared across command-family routers — `parseNamedArgs` rejects unrecognized flags and stray positionals instead of silently dropping them (ADR-3473 §8.4, #3884). Generated from `src/command-arg-projection.cts` |
| `command-roster.cjs` | Read-only discovery of canonical `commands/gsd/*.md` command stems for runtime artifact conversion and namespace rewrites |
| `command-routing-hub.cjs` | Pure-result dispatch hub that centralizes mode decision (SDK vs CJS), error taxonomy, and no-throw contract for all command-family routers (#3788) |
| `commands.cjs` | Misc CLI commands (slug, timestamp, todos, scaffolding, stats) |
| `complexity-trigger.cjs` | Pure leaf for the complexity-triggered refactor capability — analyzer, evaluator, and baseline persistence; wrapped by `refactor-trigger-command-router.cjs` (#1953) |
| `config-loader.cjs` | Project config loading — defaults merge, legacy-key migration, workstream overlay, unknown-key/profile-override validation (extracted from `core.cjs`, ADR-857) |
| `config-schema.cjs` | Single source of truth for `VALID_CONFIG_KEYS` and dynamic key patterns; imported by both the validator and the config-schema-docs parity test |
| `config-types.cjs` | TypeScript type definitions for the `model_policy` config block — `ModelPolicyConfig`, `TierEntry`, `RuntimeTiers`; compiled from `src/config-types.cts` at publish time (ADR-457) |
| `health-diagnostic-rules/config-validation.cjs` | Health-diagnostic rules: config.json validation checks (W003, W004, W022, E005, W008, W012-W016), reading only `snapshot.config`, ported behavior-preserving from `cmdValidateHealth` (ADR-3180 §8.2/§8.3/§8.5, Phase 11, #3309) |
| `config.cjs` | `config.json` read/write, section initialization; imports validator from `config-schema.cjs` |
| `configuration.cjs` | Configuration Module — legacy-key normalization, defaults merge, and explicit on-disk migration; pure normalization primitives consumed by `config-loader.cjs` and `config-schema.cjs` (loadConfig extracted to config-loader per ADR-857 #885) |
| `health-diagnostic-rules/consistency.cjs` | Health-diagnostic rules for `validate.consistency` only (C001-C004: gap in disk phase numbering, gap in plan numbering within a phase, orphan SUMMARY with no matching live PLAN, PLAN missing `wave` frontmatter) — a new `C0NN` code namespace parallel to `validate.health`'s `E`/`W`/`I` space, ported behavior-preserving from `cmdValidateConsistency` (ADR-3180 §8.4, Phase 12, #3310) |
| `context-composer.cjs` | Shared budget-composition seam (ADR-1671, #2929) — `composeWithinBudget` trims an ordered fragment list to a measured budget and returns a PLAN of surviving fragments, never rendered text, so one seam serves both the review pipeline and per-runtime emission. Closed strategy set: `verbatim`, `head-shrink`, `proportional-truncate` (with a per-fragment floor), `drop`. The budget unit is injected via `measure(text)` — tokens for `prompt-budget`, bytes for emission — with `charsPerUnit` as its inverse. Also exports `headShrink`/`tailTruncate`. Compiled from `src/context-composer.cts` |
| `context-predicates.cjs` | CONTEXT.md predicate fact-store parser (ADR-1671, #2928) — pure `parsePredicates` (extracts every backtick-wrapped `CLASS.subkey=value` declaration, fence/HTML-comment-aware), `selectPredicates` (class/prefix/contains selectors, ANDed), and `buildIndex` (deterministic, line-free artifact shape); backs both `gsd_run query context-predicates` and `scripts/gen-context-index.cjs`'s docs/CONTEXT-INDEX.json drift guard. Compiled from `src/context-predicates.cts` |
| `context-utilization.cjs` | Pure classifier for `gsd-health --context` — turns (tokensUsed, contextWindow) into a `{ percent, state }` triage result against the 60%/70% fracture-point thresholds (#2792) |
| `core-utils.cjs` | Shared low-level utilities — POSIX path normalization, sub-repo/subdirectory scanning, phase file stats, slug/one-liner/plan-id helpers, time-ago (extracted from `core.cjs`, ADR-857) |
| `core.cjs` | Shared utilities and runtime fallbacks; compatibility re-exports for planning-workspace and I/O (`io.cjs`) helpers |
| `coverage.cjs` | Deterministic SUMMARY `coverage:` block parser/validator/classifier for `gsd-tools uat classify-coverage`; routes deliverables to auto-pass vs human-UAT with a fail-safe default (#1602) |
| `decisions.cjs` | Parses CONTEXT.md `<decisions>` blocks; accepts numeric (D-42) and alphanumeric (D-INFRA-01) IDs; returns `{id, text, category, tags, trackable}` |
| `docs.cjs` | Docs-update workflow init, Markdown scanning, monorepo detection |
| `drift.cjs` | Post-execute codebase structural drift detector (#2003): classifies file changes into new-dir/barrel/migration/route categories and round-trips `last_mapped_commit` frontmatter |
| `edge-probe.cjs` | Spec-completeness edge probe (compiled from `src/edge-probe.cts`, gitignored) — the first adapter of the `probe-core` resolution model (ADR-550 Decision 7): shape classification, applicable-category relevance filter, edge proposal, and the `{explicit, backstop}` verification validators; delegates merge/rollup/CLI to `probe-core`; exports `classifyShape`, `applicableCategories`, `proposeEdges`, `analyzeCoverage`, `validateResolution`, `TAXONOMY` (#550) |
| `embedding-adapter.cjs` | Defines the minimal `HostIntegrationInterface` contract every embedding adapter implements (#1680) |
| `eval-command-router.cjs` | Routes the `eval.score` verb (compiled from `src/eval-command-router.cts`, gitignored) — thin dispatcher into the eval scoring module (#1579) |
| `eval.cjs` | Deterministic eval scoring (compiled from `src/eval.cts`, gitignored) — `computeEvalScore` (coverage*0.6 + infra*0.4, bands 80/60/40) + `cmdEvalScore` CLI domain guard; moves the gsd-eval-auditor's weighted arithmetic out of the prompt into code (#10 / #1579) |
| `estimate-cli.cjs` | I/O seam over `phase-estimation.cjs` — the `estimate-check` and `estimate-calibration` query verbs; reads the `workflow.smart_zone_tokens` budget and `.planning/estimation-calibration.json`, both degrading to defaults rather than failing planning (#2630) |
| `exit-code-registry.cjs` | Generated exit-code allocator — one number, one meaning table of registered process exit codes (band rules: `2` hook-adapter only, `64`-`78` generic, `80`-`125` domain); emitted by `scripts/gen-exit-code-registry.cjs --write` (ADR-3889 §1/§2); exports `EXIT_CODES` and the pure, total `exitCodeFor`/`nameForExitCode` |
| `observability/event.cjs` | DispatchEvent shape factory for every Hub dispatch — traceId/parentTraceId/command/result/timestamp record consumed by DispatchLogger (#177, ADR-0174 P1.3/P1.4) |
| `external-descriptor-trust.cjs` | Defense-in-depth path-containment check for third-party plugin descriptors (#1681) |
| `external-job.cjs` | Produces scheduler manifests for asynchronous external jobs; SLURM is the first backend (#1164) |
| `fallow-runner.cjs` | Fallow audit adapter for `/gsd-code-review`: binary resolution (`node_modules/.bin` then `PATH`), actionable missing-binary errors, and structural findings normalization |
| `federated-config.cjs` | Defensive merge of capability-declared config slices into the loadConfig return value — ADR-857 phase 3b; exports `mergeFederatedConfig({ configSchema, isCentralKey, userConfig })` → `{ values, validKeys, warnings }`; live for migrated Capability keys that are atomically removed from the central config schema |
| `file-overlap-partitioner.cjs` | Generic greedy first-fit file-overlap partitioner (#3674) — `partitionByFileOverlap(items: {id, files}[]) → string[][]`, extracted from `claude-orchestration.cjs`'s `partitionStages` behavior-preserving; no `Plan`/`Wave` dependency, no path normalization, no dependency-graph ordering. Compiled from `src/file-overlap-partitioner.cts` |
| `frontmatter.cjs` | YAML frontmatter CRUD operations |
| `gap-checker.cjs` | Post-planning gap analysis (#2493): unified REQUIREMENTS.md + CONTEXT.md decisions vs PLAN.md coverage report (`gsd-tools gap-analysis`) |
| `gate-predicate-evaluator.cjs` | Evaluates capability gate predicates — `command-exit-zero` and `artifact-frontmatter` (#2008) |
| `git-base-branch.cjs` | Single base-branch resolver (`gsd_run query git.base-branch`) with full precedence ladder: effective-config override (`git.base_branch`, resolved through `config-loader.cjs`) → origin/HEAD symref → `git remote show origin` → local branch presence → "main". Eliminates per-workflow duplicated bash detection (#1146). Also hosts the protected-branch predicate `--is-protected <branch>` (#3552), which extends the resolved base branch with the optional `git.protected_branches` list, matches by exact name, fails closed when the base branch is unverified, and reads config with `persist: false` so the query never rewrites `.planning/config.json` |
| `graphify.cjs` | Knowledge-graph build/query/status/diff for `/gsd-graphify` |
| `graphify-command-router.cjs` | ADR-959 capability command router for `gsd-tools graphify` — dispatches build/query/status/diff subcommands; first real capability command cutover (phase 4d-impl-2) |
| `gsd2-import.cjs` | External-plan ingest for `/gsd-import --from-gsd2` |
| `handshake-serialized.cjs` | Serialized handshake for out-of-process host integration; JSON wire-safe (#1683) |
| `health-diagnostic-types.cjs` | Shared, dependency-free `SEVERITY`/`REMEDY_ACTION`/`REMEDY_RISK` enums and `Diagnostic`/`Remedy`/`Rule` types for `validate health` — split out of `health-diagnostic.cjs` so its rule-group files can depend on the enums/types without a CJS circular require back into the evaluator (ADR-3180 §8.2/§8.3/§8.5, Phase 11, #3309) |
| `health-diagnostic.cjs` | Frozen rule-table contract for `validate health` — `SEVERITY`/`REMEDY_ACTION`/`REMEDY_RISK` enums, `Diagnostic`/`Remedy`/`Rule` shapes, the fully-wired `RULES` table (the static concatenation of the 31 rules exported by the eight `health-diagnostic-rules/*.cjs` group files), `evaluateRules` (throws on duplicate rule codes), and `applyRepairs` (the real `--repair`/`--backfill` dispatcher with real per-action handlers — refuses `DESTRUCTIVE`-risk remedies) (ADR-3180 §8.2/§8.3/§8.5, Phase 11, #3309) |
| `hook-bus.cjs` | Abstracts the hook-bus ownership model — engine pub-sub, host-owned, or none (#1680) |
| `host-integration-sdk.cjs` | Versioned public API surface for external host-plugin authors (#1683) |
| `host-integration.cjs` | Host-Integration Interface (ADR-1239 Phase A) — negotiated capability contract over the six host-integration points; `negotiateHostCapabilities` fail-closes on undeclared/unknown/`undocumented` values, typed degradation ladder, host-capability profiles; the 8 `runtime.hostIntegration` axes are validated in `capability-validator.cjs` and sourced per-CLI in `docs/reference/host-integration-capability-matrix.md` |
| `host-runtime-detection.cjs` | Host Runtime Detection Module (ADR-2313 Phase 5, #3245) — the detection rung beneath `GSD_RUNTIME` and `.planning/config.json` `runtime` that lets `init` report `agent_runtime: codex` inside a Codex session instead of the hardcoded `claude` default; `detectHostRuntime` returns the typed `{runtime, source, signal}` from citation-backed Codex signals (`CODEX_SANDBOX`/`CODEX_SANDBOX_NETWORK_DISABLED`, else `CODEX_HOME` + `config.toml`), `resolveReportedRuntime` composes the full ladder. Pure, injectable, never writes, never shells out |
| `host-integration-adapters/imperative-hook-bus.cjs` | Imperative hook-bus adapter — descriptor-driven `hooks.json` binding generalized from the Cursor-specific writer, resolving the negotiated `hookBus` axis against a host's documented `hostBehaviors.managedHookEvents` list; pure, no I/O (ADR-1239 Phase D, #2089) |
| `init-command-router.cjs` | Thin CJS subcommand router adapter for `gsd-tools init` |
| `init.cjs` | Compound context loading for each workflow type |
| `install-effort-resolver.cjs` | Install-time effort resolution — `readGsdEffectiveEffortConfig` (merges `~/.gsd/defaults.json` + project `.planning/config.json`) + `resolveInstallTimeEffort`, extracted from `bin/install.js` (#2071) so `gsd-tools effort sync` can require it from the shipped runtime instead of the never-copied package-root installer; install.js imports them back (single source) |
| `install-engine.cjs` | Runtime-artifact install engine — `installRuntimeArtifacts`/`uninstallRuntimeArtifacts`/`installOpencodeFamilySkills` + their helpers, extracted from `bin/install.js` (ADR-1239 Phase B, #1679); install.js imports them back and injects `getCommitAttribution` |
| `install-fs-adapter.cjs` | Install Fs Adapter — narrow, enumerated fs seam for the `installRuntimeArtifacts` call tree (#2874, epic #2866 Phase 5, ADR-58's never-landed `cleanup` rollout step); a single ambient adapter (real fs in production, an injectable fake in tests) is swapped for the duration of one synchronous install via `withInstallFs`, extending the `deps` bag precedent already established by Runtime Artifact Install Plan Module rather than threading a new parameter through every call site; routes destination IO only — package-source lookups (`findInstallSourceRoot`, `findAgentsSourceRoot`, `readGsdCommandNames`) are deliberately unrouted, by design, not by omission |
| `install-model-override-resolver.cjs` | Install-time per-agent model-override resolution (#2256 / #2794) — `model_overrides[agent]` > `model_profile_overrides.<runtime>.<tier>` > omit, extracted from `bin/install.js`'s inline agent-staging loop (#2875 Part 2 / J8), which duplicated this exact precedence chain across two runtime branches (OpenCode/Kilo); mirrors `install-effort-resolver.cjs`'s existing extraction precedent so the descriptor-driven agents pipeline and `bin/install.js`'s own callers resolve through the SAME single source of truth |
| `install-profiles.cjs` | Install profile allowlist + skill staging for `--minimal` install (#2762); single source of truth for which `gsd-*` skills/agents land in runtime config dirs |
| `install-scope.cjs` | Install Scope Module — `resolveScope({id,runtime,...})` resolves the `'global'\|'local'` install-scope axis into `{id, configHome, settingsFile, consentRequired, hostPrecedenceRank}`, composing `resolveConfigHomeFromDescriptor` (`runtime-homes.cjs`) rather than modifying it (#2870, ADR-2866) |
| `install-shadow-report.cjs` | Cross-Scope Shadow Report Module (#2873, epic #2866 Phase 4a) — read-only projection over `installed-surface-resolver.cjs`'s `resolveInstalledSurfaces`; `buildShadowReport(runtime, opts)` filters `resolveTriggerSurface`'s `shadowedBy` groups down to triggers whose underlying stem genuinely exists in BOTH scopes' own manifests (not merely the union), and `renderShadowReport` projects the typed IR into bounded, sanitized (`sanitizeForRender` strips ANSI/C0-C1/bidi overrides) operator-console lines; consumed by both the installer and the W028 health rule so install-time and `/gsd-health` report identically |
| `health-diagnostic-rules/install-surface-shadowing.cjs` | Health-diagnostic rule: cross-scope trigger shadowing check (W028) — projects `install-shadow-report.cjs`'s `ShadowReport` as a WARNING-severity, ADVISE/`risk:NONE` diagnostic (never auto-fixable), reusing `agent-install.cjs`'s W010 runtime-resolution shape; degrades to `[]` (never throws) when nothing is installable to report (#2873, epic #2866 Phase 4a) |
| `installed-surface-resolver.cjs` | Installed Surface Resolver — `resolveInstalledSurfaces(runtime?, opts?)` probes both install scopes for a runtime (or every registered runtime, sorted, when omitted), reads each scope's manifest, and resolves the trigger surface across only the scopes actually installed on this machine, composing `resolveScope` and `resolveTriggerSurface` rather than re-deriving either (#2872, ADR-2866 Phase 3); local-scope manifest read is `lstat`-guarded and refuses to follow a symlinked config dir or manifest, degrading that scope to `installed: false` rather than following (#2873) |
| `installer-migration-authoring.cjs` | Installer migration authoring guardrails for record metadata, explicit scopes, ownership evidence, and runtime contract citations |
| `installer-migration-report.cjs` | Installer migration report projection and blocked-action guard for install/update integration |
| `installer-migrations.cjs` | Installer migration planning, artifact classification, install-state persistence, journaled apply, and rollback helpers |
| `intel.cjs` | Codebase intel store backing `/gsd-map-codebase --query` and `gsd-intel-updater` |
| `intel-command-router.cjs` | ADR-959 capability command router for `gsd-tools intel` — extracted from the `case 'intel':` arm in `gsd-tools.cjs`; dispatches query/status/diff/snapshot/patch-meta/validate/extract-exports/update/api-surface subcommands; preserves `timeAgo` transform on `status.files[*].updated_at` in non-raw mode; phase 4d-impl-4 (last first-party cutover) |
| `io.cjs` | CLI I/O primitives — `output`/`error` emission, JSON-error mode, and large-payload temp-file spillover (extracted from `core.cjs`, ADR-857) |
| `learnings.cjs` | Cross-phase learnings extraction for `/gsd-extract-learnings` |
| `legacy-cleanup.cjs` | Detect and remove leftover get-shit-done-cc artifacts; exports `planLegacyCleanup` (pure scan) and `applyLegacyCleanup` (thin IO applier) that root out stale files from the old package across every GSD-managed runtime config directory (#607) |
| `observability/logger.cjs` | DispatchLogger interface + default implementation — silent on success, structured stderr JSON on error, opt-in `.gsd-trace.jsonl` audit file (`GSD_AUDIT=1`), args omitted unless `GSD_AUDIT_ARGS=1` (#177, ADR-0174 P1.3) |
| `loop-host-contract.cjs` | Generated Loop Host Contract — 12 loop points, per-step agent roles, and core artifacts for the five-step pipeline (discuss/plan/execute/verify/ship); emitted by `scripts/gen-loop-host-contract.cjs --write` (ADR-894 §3); consumed by `gen-capability-registry.cjs` |
| `loop-resolver.cjs` | Loop Extension Point resolver — ADR-857 phase 3c/6 registry-consuming query; given a canonical loop point, filters `byLoopPoint` by resolved Capability State plus config activation (`when` key traversal with prototype-pollution guard), returns `{ point, activeHooks, rendered }` envelope; `resolveLoopHooks` and `renderLoopHooks` are pure (no I/O); command surface: `gsd-tools loop render-hooks <point> [--config-dir <path>]` |
| `markdown-sectionizer.cjs` | Canonical markdown-structure parsing seam (ADR-1372, epic #1372) — pure, Node built-ins only; exports `stripFencedCode` (CommonMark-correct fence stripper, CRLF-safe), `stripInlineCode` (per-line CommonMark inline-code-span stripper, #2365), `tokenizeHeadings` (ATX headings outside fenced blocks), `collectSections`/`collectSection` (line-by-line section collection with `bodyStart`/`bodyEnd` offsets), `iterateBullets` (dash/checkbox/numbered markers), `extractTaggedBlocks` (inner text of `<tag>…</tag>` blocks, caller decides fence-stripping), `replaceSection` (pure character-offset body splice for read-modify-write callers), and `withSection` (resolve a section by heading/predicate and run an edit callback against ONLY its body, splicing the result back — ADR-2143 §4 bounded mutation); foundation for T0–T7 migration tiers retiring 8+ ad-hoc parsers |
| `markdown-table.cjs` | Canonical GFM table model + `TABLE_SCHEMAS` registry seam (ADR-2143, epic #2143) — pure, Node built-ins only; exports `parseMarkdownTable(sectionText) → Result<MarkdownTable>` (parses the first GFM pipe table, typed parse errors for ragged/malformed rows rather than silent coercion), `MarkdownTable` (`{columns, rows}`, rows addressed by column name), `Result<T>` (`{ok:true,value}\|{ok:false,reason}` — distinct from command-routing-hub's dispatch `Result`), `TABLE_SCHEMAS` (canonical column-header variants for `RoadmapProgress`/`RequirementsTraceability`/`QuickTasks`/`Security` tables), and `matchTableSchema(columns) → {id,label}\|null` (resolves parsed headers back to a canonical schema); consumed by `phase-lifecycle.cts`'s `deriveProgressFromRoadmap` (fixes #2137, the 5-column milestone-grouped Progress table) |
| `mcp-catalog.cjs` | Serves GSD workflows, references, and commands as MCP resources and prompts (#3072) |
| `mcp-server.cjs` | Minimal MCP server exposing the command surface and state IO to any MCP host (#1681) |
| `health-diagnostic-rules/milestone-archive-hygiene.cjs` | Health-diagnostic rules: milestone archive + root hygiene checks (W018, W019), ported behavior-preserving from `cmdValidateHealth` (ADR-3180 §8.2/§8.3/§8.5, Phase 11, #3309) |
| `milestone.cjs` | Milestone archival, requirements marking |
| `model-adapter.cjs` | Abstracts model routing — passive tier-based selection or active host-supplied resolution (#1680) |
| `model-catalog.cjs` | CJS adapter over the shared model catalog JSON; exports canonical runtime tier defaults, agent profile maps, alias maps, and routing metadata for all CLI consumers |
| `model-profiles.cjs` | Backward-compatible profile helpers derived from `model-catalog.cjs`; no longer owns its own model table |
| `model-resolver.cjs` | Model/effort resolution policy — resolves model, tier, granularity, effort, and fast-mode for an agent from config + model profiles/catalog (extracted from `core.cjs`, ADR-857) |
| `onboard-projection.cjs` | Projects the onboarding situation from docs, package, and codebase-map readiness (#1671) |
| `package-identity.cjs` | Generated single source for GSD's published-package coordinates (npm name, bin name, repo slug, changelog URL, manual-install command), derived from package.json; read by the update worker, `check-latest-version`, and installer (#498) |
| `package-legitimacy.cjs` | Registry-API package legitimacy verdicts (OK/SUS/SLOP) from npm/PyPI/crates, slopcheck optional |
| `pattern.cjs` | The pattern-construction seam — `escapeRegex` (delegates to the built-in `RegExp.escape`) and `literalPattern`; sole owner of building a `RegExp` from a runtime value (ADR-3212 §1, epic #3212 Phase 1, #3412) |
| `phase-command-router.cjs` | Thin CJS subcommand router adapter for `gsd-tools phase` |
| `phase-estimation.cjs` | Pure phase-effort estimation — `estimate`/`actuals` schema parse+render, smart-zone budget classification, and estimate-vs-actual calibration (median ratio, clamped, sample-gated). Confidence is derived from calibration sample count, never self-rated (ADR-2629) |
| `phase-id.cjs` | Pure phase-id parsing/matching helpers — normalize, token match, milestone/phase-dir id parsing, phase-markdown regex builders (extracted from `core.cjs`, ADR-857) |
| `phase-lifecycle.cjs` | Pure-computation phase lifecycle helpers extracted from the phase-lifecycle SDK handler |
| `phase-locator.cjs` | Phase-directory search/location — active + archived phase-dir discovery, phase-id matching against the filesystem (extracted from `core.cjs`, ADR-857) |
| `health-diagnostic-rules/phase-structure.cjs` | Health-diagnostic rules: phase directory structure checks (W005, W023, I001, W009), ported behavior-preserving from `cmdValidateHealth` (ADR-3180 §8.2/§8.3/§8.5, Phase 11, #3309) |
| `phase.cjs` | Phase directory operations, decimal numbering, plan indexing |
| `phases-command-router.cjs` | Thin CJS subcommand router adapter for `gsd-tools phases` |
| `plan-dependency-graph.cjs` | Shared halt-propagation over a plan's `depends_on` DAG — the single topological-order + halt-propagation engine used by both `phase.cjs`'s wave-grouping and `phase-locator.cjs`'s phase-location primitive, so the two can never diverge on which plans a halted plan blocks (#2830) |
| `plan-document.cjs` | Canonical parser for a `*-PLAN.md` document BODY (compiled from `src/plan-document.cts`, gitignored; #2790) — `parsePlanDocument(content, planPath?)` returns `<objective>`, the `<task>` block rows (with the legacy `## Task N` heading fallback), per-task `<files>`/`<acceptance_criteria>`/`<done>`, and the frontmatter scheduling metadata (`wave`, `depends_on`, `autonomous`, `agent_hint`, `files_modified`); frozen `TASK_KIND` (`AUTO`/`CHECKPOINT`) so a `checkpoint:*` block is reported as its own kind rather than a malformed auto task. Extracted from `cmdPhasePlanIndex`'s inline loop so `phase.plan-index` and `planning.inspect` cannot drift; the invariant `taskCount === tasks.length === (xmlTaskCount \|\| mdTaskCount)` is preserved byte-for-behaviour |
| `plan-drift-guard.cjs` | Classifies symbol-verification severity against the ADR-22 authority ladder |
| `plan-scan.cjs` | Canonical phase-plan scanner for detecting plan and summary files in flat and nested layouts (k014) |
| `planning-command-router.cjs` | Thin CJS subcommand router for `gsd-tools planning` (compiled from `src/planning-command-router.cts`, gitignored; #2790) — one subcommand, `inspect`; v1 accepts no arguments, so a stray positional or unknown flag is a fail-loud `ERROR_REASON.USAGE` rather than a silently-ignored one |
| `planning-inspect.cjs` | Read-only schema-v1 canonical planning snapshot (compiled from `src/planning-inspect.cts`, gitignored; #2790) — `buildPlanningInspect(cwd)` / `cmdPlanningInspect`; `PLANNING_INSPECT_SCHEMA_VERSION = 1` is the wire contract consumers must reject other values of. Composed from the ADR-3180 §7 owners plus `parsePlanDocument`/`parseRequirements`/`parseUatItems`, and read through the Markdown Sectionizer + Markdown Table Model seams; deliberately declares its own flat external schema rather than serializing the still-growing `PlanningSnapshot`. Frozen `INSPECT_DIAGNOSTIC`/`TASK_STATUS`/`PROVENANCE`/`AGREEMENT` enums carry every non-answer — unknown or conflicting evidence is reported with a coded diagnostic, never inferred |
| `planning-scope.cjs` | Frozen `SCOPE` discriminator (`COMPLETE`/`TRUNCATED`/`UNSCOPED`/`UNREADABLE`) distinguishing a genuinely-empty derivation from one computed over a truncated or unscoped input, so callers can branch on the difference instead of reading a plausible zero (ADR-3180) |
| `planning-snapshot.cjs` | Parsed projection of `.planning/` composed exclusively from the ADR-3180 §7 owners (milestone identity, phase enumeration, phase completion, plan/summary counting, STATE.md current-phase) — exposes only scope-carrying parsed values, never raw document text, so a diagnostic rule cannot re-derive a field's location (ADR-3180 §8.1) |
| `planning-workspace.cjs` | Planning path/workstream seam (`planningDir`, `planningPaths`, active-workstream routing, `.planning/.lock` orchestration) |
| `project-root.cjs` | Resolves a project root from a starting directory using four heuristics (own `.planning/` guard, `sub_repos` config, `multiRepo` flag, `.git` heuristic) |
| `profile-output.cjs` | Profile rendering, USER-PROFILE.md and dev-preferences.md generation |
| `profile-pipeline-command-router.cjs` | ADR-959 capability command router for the profile-pipeline command family — dispatches scan-sessions, extract-messages, profile-sample (pipeline phase) and write-profile, profile-questionnaire, generate-dev-preferences, generate-claude-profile, generate-claude-md (output phase); phase 6 cutover |
| `profile-pipeline.cjs` | User behavioral profiling data pipeline, session file scanning |
| `prompt-budget.cjs` | Pure token-budget accounting for review prompts — estimates tokens, applies deterministic trim priority (head-shrink PROJECT.md, proportional plan truncation, drop context/research/requirements, hard-fail guard), returns structured metadata for `review.max_prompt_tokens` (#3081) |
| `quick-batch-command-router.cjs` | Thin CJS subcommand router for `gsd-tools quick-batch` (#3676, Phase 4 of epic #3344 / ADR-1239 "Quick-batch binding"; compiled from `src/quick-batch-command-router.cts`, gitignored) — a first-party, always-on command family wired directly into `HOST_COMMAND_ROUTERS` (like `state`/`phase`), NOT the opt-in capability-registry/`activationKey` path `graphify` uses. Verbs: `create`/`update`/`resume`/`complete` (thin wrappers over `quick-batch.cjs`'s durable manifest read/write) and `effective-concurrency`/`merge-eligible`/`spawn-plan`/`verification-routing`/`merge-routing`/`cleanup-entry`/`parse-args` (thin wrappers over `quick-batch-dispatch.cjs`'s pure decision logic). Follows `graphify-command-router.cts`'s `routeHubCommandFamily` shape, which gives the Hub's `makeUnknownCommand` handling for free on an unrecognized subcommand |
| `quick-batch-dispatch.cjs` | Quick-batch dispatch decision core (#3676, Phase 4 of epic #3344 / ADR-1239 "Quick-batch binding"; compiled from `src/quick-batch-dispatch.cts`, gitignored) — PURE decision logic consumed by the `/gsd-quick-batch` workflow markdown: `parseQuickBatchArgs` (rejects `--discuss`/`--full`, validates `--jobs auto\|N`, before any dispatch), `computeEffectiveConcurrency` (`min(taskCount, jobsN, capacity)`, `isolation:'none'` forces a MUTATING wave to concurrency 1, a non-mutating research-only wave is unaffected), `computeMergeOrder` (deterministic wave-order merge prefix — never completion order, an out-of-order finisher waits), `computeSpawnPlan` (backpressure — a refused/capacity-exhausted spawn returns to `pending`, never increases fan-out, never `failed`), `routeVerificationOutcome`/`routeMergeOutcome` (small explicit state-transition functions for `human_needed`/`gaps_found`/`merge_failed`/`scope_violation` routing — a scope violation or merge failure always preserves the worktree), and `buildCleanupManifestEntry` (derives a `worktree.cleanup-wave` entry's `files_modified`/`declared_deletions` FRESH from an item's own PLAN.md via the existing `parsePlanDocument`, never from `BATCH.json`). No `Agent()` dispatch, no `git worktree` I/O — those stay in workflow markdown |
| `quick-batch.cjs` | Quick-batch core primitives (#3675, ADR-1239 "Quick-batch binding") — task-list parsing (inline + path-confined `--file`), collision-safe `YYMMDD-xxx` quick-id preallocation under `withPlanningLock` (checked against both on-disk `.planning/quick/` entries and sibling `.planning/quick-batches/*/BATCH.json` manifests), `BATCH.json` schema/validation/resume (fail-closed on corrupt JSON, schema violations, out-of-batch dependency references, cycles, or a missing worktree path), deterministic wave construction combining dependency-DAG layering with `partitionByFileOverlap` over normalized `planned_files`, and exactly-once STATE.md completion via `hasQuickTaskRow`'s own idempotency check ahead of the unmodified `appendQuickTaskRow`. Also exports `updateBatchItems` (#3676) — the ONE additive post-planning mutator: applies caller-resolved `depends_on`/`planned_files` updates, recomputes `wave` for every item via the existing `computeWaves`, and fails closed WITHOUT persisting on an unknown item, an unknown/self dependency, or an introduced cycle, inside the SAME `withPlanningLock` transaction shape `resumeBatch`/`completeQuickItem` already use — never a second, independent writer against `BATCH.json`. No agent dispatch, no worktree creation, no user-facing command — Phase 4/#3676's job. Compiled from `src/quick-batch.cts` |
| `observability/redaction.cjs` | Arg redaction policy for dispatch events — args omitted from every emitted event by default, opt-in verbatim inclusion via `GSD_AUDIT_ARGS=1`; stateless env read, no module-level caching (#177) |
| `real-home-guard.cjs` | Real-home confinement guard (#3712; renamed from `test-home-guard.cjs` — a source filename matching Node's `test-*` convention is collected and executed as a test by the remote runner) — refuses any of the six writers that resolve a kind `home` — `installRuntimeArtifacts`, `uninstallRuntimeArtifacts`, `applySurface`, `migrateLegacyDevPreferencesToSkill`, plus the descriptor-dependent `installOpencodeFamilySkills` and `installAgentsKindStandalone` when a `node --test` run would resolve a kind's global `home` override (codex skills -> `$HOME/.agents`, ADR-1239/#2088) inside the real passwd home, which silently pruned every `gsd-*` skill there; compares homes by filesystem identity (`st_dev`+`st_ino`) rather than by pathname, since a case-variant, symlinked, or bind-mounted HOME names one directory under two names; fails CLOSED unless both homes identify or one is definitively absent (the pathname-equality shortcut in `sameDirectory` can answer yes without identifying, so the marker branch requires the marker to identify separately before it may allow anything); a destination inside the real home is exempted only when HOME differs from the passwd home, the passwd home is not itself beneath that HOME (`/Users`, `C:\Users` are not sandboxes), and the destination resolves beneath it (Windows puts the temp root inside the home, so containment alone cannot tell a sandbox from the danger); where no passwd entry is readable it falls back to `sandboxHome()`'s path-valued marker, which must identify AND contain every resolved destination — a marker matching HOME attests only that HOME was sandboxed, so on its own it waved through a layout captured before the sandbox that still named the real `~/.agents`; it remains a deliberate weakening rather than a closed door, since nothing there can contradict a marker naming the real home; does not defend against a subordinate bind mount of the real directory into the sandbox (realpath cannot unify bind-mounted spellings) or a cross-process TOCTOU swap; inert for normal installs outside a Node test context |
| `refactor-trigger-command-router.cjs` | ADR-959 capability command router for `gsd-tools refactor` (issue #1953) — dispatches evaluate/status/accept/decline subcommands for the complexity-triggered refactor capability; owns capability-activation gating, git invocation (via the `git-base-branch.cjs` `phaseStartCommit`/`changedFilesSince` adapters), config reads, phase-directory resolution, and the optional broken-windows ledger integration around the pure `complexity-trigger.cjs` leaf |
| `research-provider.cjs` | Research provider waterfall, confidence tiers, and planResearch (cache-hits + fetch plan) |
| `research-store.cjs` | Content-addressed research cache: sha256 keys, per-source TTL staleness, two-tier (user ~/.gsd / project .planning) store |
| `resolution.cjs` | Defines the `Resolution` envelope carried by config-reading verbs, with provenance (#1411) |
| `retired-artifact-cleanup.cjs` | Manifest-safe cleanup for descriptor-declared retired runtime artifact surfaces; shared by install and profile/surface apply so removed layout kinds converge without deleting modified or unknown user files (#2644) |
| `probe-core.cjs` | Generic spec-phase probe resolution model (compiled from `src/probe-core.cts`, gitignored; ADR-550 Decision 7) — the status×verification re-cut (`status: resolved/dismissed/unresolved` × per-probe `verification`), `validateResolution`/`validateRequirement`, `analyzeCoverage(items, resolutions?, validators)` merge/rollup/orphan-reject, the `byVerification` rollup, and the `runProbeCli` I/O scaffold; the shared seam consumed by `edge-probe` (and the prohibition probe #644); exports `VALID_STATUS`, `validateResolution`, `validateRequirement`, `analyzeCoverage`, `runProbeCli` (#550) |
| `prohibition-enforcement.cjs` | Deterministic test-tier prohibition PRODUCER/gate (compiled from `src/prohibition-enforcement.cts`, gitignored; #1259, ADR-550 D5d "heavy half") — locates the wired mechanical check (`node-test` or `lint-rule`), confirms it is fail-first, runs it via an injectable runner, builds typed `enforcementEvidence`, and emits the `dispositionForProhibition` verdict; a passing wired check disposes green, a missing/failing/non-fail-first check hard-gates (flagged, non-green) in both interactive and autonomous modes; exports `runProhibitionEnforcement`, `routeProhibitionEnforcement`; CLI surface `gsd_run check prohibition-enforcement <request.json>` |
| `review-lane-descriptor.cjs` | Declared reviewer-lane contract (compiled from `src/review-lane-descriptor.cts`, gitignored; ADR-2782) — the frozen `REVIEWER_LANES` roster, the lane slug grammar, and two pure parity gates: `checkReviewerLaneParity` (descriptor ↔ roster ↔ registry, plus anti-parity against re-added bespoke workflow legs) and `checkReviewerDocsParity` (declared flags and section titles ↔ `docs/COMMANDS.md`, `docs/FEATURES.md` and their locale mirrors; #2800, closes #2781/#2272); exports `REVIEWER_LANES`, `PARITY_VIOLATION`, `DOCS_PARITY_VIOLATION`, `LANE_SLUG_RE` |
| `review-lane-invocation.cjs` | Pure projection from a declared reviewer lane plus resolved config to a concrete invocation plan (compiled from `src/review-lane-invocation.cts`, gitignored; ADR-2782 Phase 5b) — no filesystem, network or clock; config arrives through a `configGet` seam; exports `resolveLanePlan`, `LANE_UNAVAILABLE` |
| `review-lane-runner.cjs` | Execution of a reviewer-lane invocation plan (compiled from `src/review-lane-runner.cts`, gitignored; ADR-2782 Phase 5b) — probe, spawn or HTTP call, empty-output policy, egress-host check, and dispatch of the three first-party `handler` modules; exports `runLane`, `probeLane`, `checkEgressHost`, `writeReviewOrStub` |
| `review-reviewer-selection.cjs` | Reviewer selection/normalization helpers for `/gsd-review` default reviewer policy and precedence |
| `roadmap-command-router.cjs` | Thin CJS subcommand router adapter for `gsd-tools roadmap` |
| `health-diagnostic-rules/roadmap-disk-consistency.cjs` | Health-diagnostic rules: ROADMAP-vs-disk phase directory consistency checks (W006, W007), both resolved through the shared `matchPhaseDirs` matcher, ported behavior-preserving from `cmdValidateHealth` (ADR-3180 §8.2/§8.3/§8.5, Phase 11, #3309) |
| `roadmap-parser.cjs` | ROADMAP.md parsing — milestone slicing, current-milestone extraction, phase/milestone lookups, milestone-phase filter (extracted from `core.cjs`, ADR-857) |
| `roadmap-upgrade.cjs` | Migration tool for converting legacy `Phase N` entries to milestone-prefixed `Phase M-NN` convention; `computeMigrationPlan` + `applyMigration` with dry-run default and atomic rollback |
| `roadmap.cjs` | ROADMAP.md parsing, phase extraction, plan progress |
| `health-diagnostic-rules/root-existence.cjs` | Health-diagnostic rules: root `.planning/` existence + PROJECT.md checks (E002-E004, W001), ported behavior-preserving from `cmdValidateHealth` (ADR-3180 §8.2/§8.3/§8.5, Phase 11, #3309) |
| `runtime-artifact-conversion.cjs` | Runtime artifact conversion module — projects Claude-authored commands, agents, and skills into runtime-specific artifact bodies while preserving installer compatibility exports |
| `runtime-artifact-install-plan.cjs` | Runtime artifact install plan module — stages pre-resolved layout kinds, applies runtime body rewrites, and returns copy-plan items plus cleanup obligations |
| `runtime-artifact-layout.cjs` | Runtime artifact layout module — resolves the artifact directory shapes (commands, agents, skills) for each supported runtime; single source of truth for per-runtime artifact placement (#3663) |
| `runtime-config-adapter-registry.cjs` | Explicit runtime config adapter registry — resolves per-runtime config-mutation install intent (install surface, shared-settings gate, finish-phase permission writer); see ADR-58. |
| `runtime-hooks-surface.cjs` | Runtime hooks surface module — standalone hook-surface writer functions extracted from bin/install.js (ADR-857 phase 5f-1); owns Cline/Cursor/Copilot/Codex hook artifact generation and reconciliation. |
| `runtime-name-policy.cjs` | Runtime name normalization policy — canonical token sanitization for runtime identifiers used in path construction and display |
| `runtime-homes.cjs` | Canonical runtime → global config/skills directory mapping; first-class support for all 15 runtimes including Hermes nested layout and Cline rules-based exclusion (#3126) |
| `runtime-identity.cjs` | Runtime identity surface (#3146) — exports `classifyIdentityProbe` (pure, total; `(stdout, exitCode, spawnFailed, timedOut)` → `ok`/`identity_mismatch`/`no_identity_verb`/`unparseable`/`probe_failed`), `buildIdentityPayload`, `explainVerdict`, and the launcher gate's vocabulary — frozen `IDENTITY_STATUS` (`ok`/`unverified`), `statusForVerdict`, and the anchored `IDENTITY_RAW_PREFIX`; backs the `runtime-identity` verb, which the launcher preamble probes once before any verb runs (#3841) and which also serves as a manual diagnostic for telling this package's `gsd-tools` apart from the predecessor's colliding binary. The `PATH` route is closed structurally by resolving `gsd_run` rather than `gsd-tools`; the path-based branches are covered by that assertion |
| `runtime-slash.cjs` | Runtime-aware slash-command formatter — single source of truth for emitting `/gsd-<cmd>` (skills-based runtimes) and `$gsd-<cmd>` (codex) in user-facing output and persisted artifacts (#3584) |
| `schema-detect.cjs` | Schema-drift detection for ORM patterns (Prisma, Drizzle, Supabase, TypeORM, Payload); exports `detectSchemaFiles`, `detectSchemaOrm`, `checkSchemaDrift`, `SCHEMA_PATTERNS`, `ORM_INFO` |
| `secrets.cjs` | Secret-config masking convention (`****<last-4>`) for integration keys; exports `SECRET_CONFIG_KEYS`, `isSecretKey`, `maskSecret`, `maskIfSecret` |
| `section-manifest.cjs` | Pure `when=` evaluator over `InvocationFacts` (ADR-1671, epic #1671 Phase 5, #2932) — `selectSections` partitions a document-order list of parsed `gsd:section` sections into `included`/`excluded` id arrays for one concrete invocation, via `WHEN_PREDICATES`, a total lookup (never a parser) over the frozen `WHEN_VOCABULARY` imported unchanged from `workflow-fragments.cjs`; an unrecognized `when=` value fails closed (`REASON.UNKNOWN_WHEN`), and a coordinated-change guard at module load throws if a vocabulary entry has no predicate. Compiled from `src/section-manifest.cts` |
| `semver-compare.cjs` | Shared semver comparison policy helpers (`compareSemverCore`, stable-triplet validation, normalized tuple parsing) consumed by update-check hooks, statusline dev-install detection, and changeset extract range logic (#10) |
| `security.cjs` | Path traversal prevention, prompt injection detection, safe JSON/shell helpers |
| `shell-command-projection.cjs` | Runtime-aware shell command projection for managed hook serialization: decides PowerShell call-operator usage by runtime/platform and normalizes Windows script path tokens |
| `smart-entry.cjs` | Classifies workflow state into the enumerated smart-entry situations and their next actions (ADR-1787) |
| `spec-section.cjs` | SPEC section-status helper (compiled from `src/spec-section.cts`, gitignored) — the single source of truth for the canonical SPEC headings (suffix-tolerant) and markdown-table row counting; `specSectionStatus`/`countSectionDataRows` decide per-section "supplied" for plan-phase's spec-less probe fallback, replacing ad-hoc awk (contract pinned by `tests/spec-section.test.cjs`) |
| `stale-bake-guard.cjs` | Warns when configuration changes after a static-frontmatter runtime bake (#1688) |
| `state-command-router.cjs` | Thin CJS subcommand router adapter for `gsd-tools state` |
| `state-contract.cjs` | Machine-readable state contract v1 published to `.planning/state.json` at every step boundary (compiled from `src/state-contract.cts`, gitignored; #3227) — `buildStateContract(cwd, deps?)` is pure, `publishStateContract(cwd, deps?)` writes and never throws. `contract: "1.0.0"` is the wire version consumers gate on; frozen `PHASE_STATUS` (`complete`/`in_progress`/`pending`) and `PUBLISH_REASON` (`published`/`no_planning_dir`/`write_failed`) are the closed vocabularies. Composed from `locateProgressTable`, `getMilestoneInfo` and `classifyProject` so it can never disagree with GSD's own progress counters or front-door routing; owners are required lazily to avoid the `state → state-contract → smart-entry → state` require cycle. Best-effort by contract: it cannot change the exit code, stdout, or success of the boundary command that triggered it |
| `health-diagnostic-rules/state-consistency.cjs` | Health-diagnostic rules: STATE.md consistency checks (W002, W011, W021, W026) against config/ROADMAP/disk, ported behavior-preserving from `cmdValidateHealth`; W024 (state_head freshness) is a documented gap, deliberately not migrated (ADR-3180 §8.2/§8.3/§8.5, Phase 11, #3309) |
| `state-io.cjs` | Abstracts state IO modes — filesystem, sandboxed storage, or session log (#1680) |
| `state-transition.cjs` | Implements the STATE.md field-classification table and the pure `transitionCore` mutation path (#1769) |
| `state-md-schema.cjs` | The STATE.md field schema (compiled from `src/state-md-schema.cts`, gitignored; ADR-3473 §8.8, #3873) — one frozen, null-prototype `STATE_FIELD_SCHEMA` row per STATE.md key (type, cardinality, source, preservation, guard, mergeStrategy, body source/label, accepted value shapes, emitted-vs-guarded), replacing three previously hand-maintained tables (`FIELD_CLASSIFICATION` / `FRONTMATTER_BODY_SOURCE` in `state-transition.cjs`, `FRONTMATTER_KEY_TO_BODY_LABEL` in `state.cjs`) that now project from it at load time with byte-identical shape/order. Leaf module: imports from neither of its two consumers, avoiding the CJS require-cycle `health-diagnostic-types.cjs` was split out to break |
| `state.cjs` | STATE.md parsing, updating, progression, metrics |
| `state-document.cjs` | Pure STATE.md field extraction, replacement, status normalization, and progress calculation transforms |
| `milestone-lock.cjs` | Milestone lock (compiled from `src/milestone-lock.cts`, gitignored) — advisory (phase, session id) claim over STATE.md's single Current Position slot: `.planning/milestone.lock` claim IO, liveness (TTL + heartbeat), conflict detection, and the shared stderr warning; consumed by `state.begin-phase` / `state.advance-plan` / `phase.complete` so parallel phases in one working tree get a visible conflict instead of silently overwriting each other (#3311) |
| `surface.cjs` | Runtime surface module — manages the runtime enable/disable surface state independently of the install-time profile marker (ADR-0011 Phase 2) |
| `task-command-router.cjs` | Thin CJS subcommand router adapter for `gsd-tools task`; `resolve-content` subcommand resolves a task's `tracker-id` via `task-content-resolution.cjs` (ADR-3646, #3970) |
| `task-content-resolution.cjs` | Resolves a task's `tracker-id` to external-tracker content via a capability-declared `taskContentResolver` and a bounded subprocess call; hard-halts on ambiguous/failed/timeout/malformed resolution (compiled from `src/task-content-resolution.cts`, gitignored) (ADR-3646, #3970) |
| `teams-status.cjs` | Detects agent-teams status from environment and runtime; pure core (#1355) |
| `template.cjs` | Template selection and filling with variable substitution |
| `text-lines.cjs` | Line-terminator handling seam — `splitLines`/`normalizeEol`/`detectEol`/`joinLines`, the sole owner of `\r?\n` splitting and CRLF normalization; closes #3360's split-then-match fix in `frontmatter.cjs` (ADR-3212 §3, epic #3212 Phase 2, #3413) |
| `token-scanner.cjs` | Tokenizer-first seam for stateful grammars — `tokenizeShellLike` (quote-aware shell tokenizer, the primitive `hooks/lib/git-cmd.js` migrated onto) and `indentWidth` (bullet-nesting depth, closes #3169's cross-reference-vs-declaration false positive in `decisions.cts`) (ADR-3212 §4, epic #3212 Phase 3, #3414) |
| `normalize-test-command.cjs` | Normalizes a resolved test command to a one-shot form so a watch-mode runner (vitest/jest) cannot hang a verification gate (#1857); shared by all three live test-command gates (regression, post-merge, audit-fix) |
| `uat.cjs` | UAT file parsing, verification debt tracking, audit-uat support |
| `uat-predicate.cjs` | UAT-passed predicate — markdown-aware evaluation of HUMAN-UAT results; returns pass only when all required checks pass; ignores false-positive contexts (frontmatter, fenced code, blockquotes, HTML comments) |
| `ui-consideration-probe.cjs` | Spec-completeness UI-consideration probe (compiled from `src/ui-consideration-probe.cts`, gitignored) — the third adapter of the `probe-core` resolution model (ADR-550 Decision 7): element-kind classification, applicable-category relevance filter, consideration proposal, `proposeElements`/`autoResolve` (propose-then-confirm + the `--auto` never-dismiss floor), and the `{explicit, backstop}` validators; delegates merge/rollup/CLI to `probe-core`; exports `classifyElement`, `applicableCategories`, `proposeConsiderations`, `proposeElements`, `autoResolve`, `analyzeCoverage`, `UI_TAXONOMY` (#1867) |
| `ui-safety-gate.cjs` | Shell-free word-boundary UI token detector (#3706, #3718); reads phase-section text from stdin, exits 0 (UI found), 1 (no UI — real input, examined), NO_INPUT (empty/whitespace-only stdin) or UNAVAILABLE (stdin read failed) — the latter two are registry codes (ADR-3889 Phase 3, #3907); also deployed to `gsd-core/bin/lib/` so the GSD installer ships it to `$RUNTIME_DIR` (#448) |
| `ui-frontend-evidence.cjs` | Static frontend-evidence detector (compiled from `src/ui-frontend-evidence.cts`, gitignored) — plan-time structural corroboration for `computeUiPlanGate` (#3312): a `package.json` UI-framework dependency or a component-framework file (`*.tsx/*.jsx/*.vue/*.svelte`) in the tree, so a UI-token match on a hyphenated proper noun (e.g. repo `dashboard-financeiro`) cannot block planning in a repo with no frontend; mirrors the post-wave `computeUiSafetyGate` git-diff corroboration |
| `unusable-input.cjs` | Deduplicates stderr diagnostics for corrupt or unreadable configuration (#1879) |
| `update-context.cjs` | Pure install-context resolver for `/gsd-update` — runtime/scope/config-dir/version detection (LOCAL/GLOBAL/UNKNOWN) ported from update.md bash; backs `gsd-tools update-context` (#498) |
| `user-artifact-staging.cjs` | Durable, on-disk staging for `USER_OWNED_ARTIFACTS` across the preserve → wipe → restore window (compiled from `src/user-artifact-staging.cts`, gitignored; #2875, epic #2866 Phase 6, ADR-3574) — closes #1874-F19 (in-memory-only preservation lost on a crash between wipe and restore); `recoverOrphanedUserArtifacts` is wired at the start of `bin/install.js`'s `install()` so an orphaned staged copy from a prior crashed run is recovered before the ordinary preserve step, closing the #1879-F15 inert-fix failure mode; exports `stageUserArtifacts`, `restoreStagedUserArtifacts`, `discardStagedUserArtifacts`, `recoverOrphanedUserArtifacts` |
| `validate-command-router.cjs` | Thin CJS subcommand router adapter for `gsd-tools validate` |
| `validate.cjs` | Pure phase variant normalization helpers (`phaseVariants`, `buildRoadmapPhaseVariants`, `buildNotStartedPhaseVariants`) used by `verify.cjs` for W006/W007 checks; no I/O, no async |
| `verification-command-router.cjs` | Thin CJS subcommand router adapter for `gsd-tools verification` |
| `verification.cjs` | Verification-status routing — consolidates pass/gaps_found/human_needed status from phase verifier-emitted VERIFICATION.md frontmatter (#651) |
| `verify-command-grounding.cjs` | Verify-command path-resolvability probe (#2401) — pure `extractAutomatedCommands` (`<automated>` blocks + owning task, ReDoS-safe), `resolveVerifyCommandTarget` (grounds a leading `cd <literal>` chain or `npm --prefix <literal>` against the project root; three-state `ok`/`broken`/`unresolvable` plus `not_applicable`/`pending_creation`), `probePhaseVerifyCommands` (per-phase report backing `gsd-tools check verify-command-paths`), `harvestPriorVerifyCommands` (nearest prior phase's commands, surfaced to the planner ungated by `context_window`), and the failing-direction probe (#3172) — `extractFailingDirections` (pairs each `<fails_when>` to the nearest preceding `<automated>` in one document-order pass, first-wins), `resolveFailingDirection` (closed 6-atom status `ok`/`missing`/`empty`/`placeholder`/`sentinel`/`orphan`), and `probePhaseFailingDirections` (per-phase report backing `gsd-tools check verify-failure-directions`). Never executes command text — PLAN.md is model-authored — and never prescribes a replacement path or a failure statement. Compiled from `src/verify-command-grounding.cts` |
| `verify-command-router.cjs` | Thin CJS subcommand router adapter for `gsd-tools verify` |
| `verify.cjs` | Plan structure, phase completeness, reference, commit validation |
| `workflow-fragments.cjs` | In-file `<!-- gsd:section id= when= -->` marker parser/composer for GSD workflow markdown (ADR-1671, #2930) — `parseWorkflowSections` (fence/HTML-comment-aware document partition into explicit/gap sections, fail-closed on malformed/unclosed/nested/duplicate markers or an unknown `when=`), `toFragments` (maps sections to `context-composer.cjs` `verbatim` fragments — non-lossy by construction), and `renderFragments`/`composeWorkflow` (compose-within-budget then join, run BEFORE per-runtime converters so a marker attribute never reaches a path-rewrite regex). `WHEN_VOCABULARY` is a frozen 4-atom applicability set (`always`, `flag:--wave`, `state:gap-closure-phase`, `state:has-prior-phases`); widening it is an ADR amendment, not an organic edit. Compiled from `src/workflow-fragments.cts` |
| `workstream-inventory-builder.cjs` | Pure workstream inventory projection builder |
| `workstream-inventory.cjs` | Shared workstream inventory projection: state fields, phase/plan/summary counts, roadmap phase count, and active marker — thin orchestrator that delegates pure projection to `workstream-inventory-builder.cjs` |
| `workstream-name-policy.cjs` | Canonical workstream name validation (`isValidActiveWorkstreamName`, `hasInvalidPathSegment`, `validateWorkstreamName`) and slug normalization (`toWorkstreamSlug`) |
| `workstream.cjs` | Workstream CRUD, migration, session-scoped active pointer |
| `worktree-base-ref.cjs` | Worktree base-ref drift detection and degrade decision (`evaluateWorktreeBaseDegrade`) plus no-clobber `worktree.baseRef` settings management for the `base-check`/`set-baseref` subcommands (#683) |
| `health-diagnostic-rules/worktree-health.cjs` | Health-diagnostic rules: worktree health checks (W020, W017, W027 — the split-off stale-worktree subject), ported behavior-preserving from `cmdValidateHealth` (ADR-3180 §8.2/§8.3/§8.5, Phase 11, #3309) |
| `worktree-safety.cjs` | Worktree-root resolution and non-destructive prune policy decisions; owns W017 health-check logic |
| `vendor/js-yaml.cjs` | **Vendored third-party artifact, not a GSD module.** Verbatim copy of `js-yaml`'s UMD `dist` build (ADR-3473 §8.1, #3881) — the single YAML parser adopted to replace this repo's hand-rolled frontmatter scanner. Vendored because `gsd-core/bin/**` is copied into installed trees that have no `node_modules`, so it may contain no external requires (enforced by `local/no-external-require-in-bin`). Its type twin, `src/vendor/js-yaml.d.cts`, is hand-authored (js-yaml ships no `.d.ts` upstream and `@types/js-yaml` is not installed) and deliberately narrow — only `load`/`dump`/`FAILSAFE_SCHEMA`/`YAMLException` are declared, so anchors/aliases/custom types/`loadAll` are unreachable from typed code. Never hand-edit the `.cjs`; `scripts/lint-vendored-deps.cjs` byte-compares it against the pinned `js-yaml` devDependency in `lint:ci` (the hand-authored twin is excluded from that byte-compare — there is no upstream file to compare against). See `gsd-core/bin/lib/vendor/README.md` |
| `vendor/re2js.cjs` | **Vendored third-party artifact, not a GSD module.** Verbatim copy of `re2js`' CJS build — the RE2 linear-time regex engine used by `pattern.cjs` to evaluate untrusted `key_links` patterns without catastrophic backtracking (#3477). Vendored because `gsd-core/bin/**` is copied into installed trees that have no `node_modules`, so it may contain no external requires (enforced by `local/no-external-require-in-bin`). Never hand-edit; `scripts/lint-vendored-deps.cjs` byte-compares it against the pinned `re2js` devDependency in `lint:ci`. See `gsd-core/bin/lib/vendor/README.md` |
| `write-set.cjs` | Shared fail-loud `Result<T>` (`{ok:true,value}\|{ok:false,reason}`) and per-surface write-set contracts (ADR-2143, epic #2143) — `WriteOutcome` (`{surface,applied}`), `WriteSet` (`WriteOutcome[]`), and `writeSetComplete(ws)` (true only when the set is non-empty AND every surface applied, never an OR-into-one-flag); `markdown-table.cjs` re-exports `Result` from here so existing importers are unaffected; consumed by `milestone.cts`'s `requirements mark-complete` handler to report a structured per-surface (`checkbox`/`traceability`) write-set alongside its existing fields (fixes the structural half of #2140) |
[`docs/CLI-TOOLS.md`](CLI-TOOLS.md) may describe a subset of these modules; when it disagrees with the filesystem, this table and the directory listing are authoritative.

### Hook Library (`hooks/lib/`)
Shared modules a hook `require()`s relative to its own `__dirname`; not separately invoked and not part of the auto-checked `hooks` manifest family (`scripts/gen-inventory-manifest.cjs` walks `hooks/` non-recursively). New entries below are #3911's; the directory holds other pre-existing helpers (`cursor-workspace.js`, `git-cmd.js`, `injection-patterns.js`, `isolation-deny-reason.js`, `isolation-sentinel.js`, `gsd-graphify-rebuild.sh`) not enumerated here.
| Module | Purpose |
|--------|---------|
| `hook-exit.js` | Hand-written hook-facing exit vocabulary layered over `cli-exit.js`'s `terminateNow`: `allow(payload)` (exit 0), `deny(payload, stderrPayload?)` (exit 2), `crash(onCrash, payload)` dispatching per a REQUIRED `HOOK_ON_CRASH` policy — no default, so a hook cannot fail open by omission (ADR-3889 Phase 7, #3911) |
| `cli-exit.js` | Generated, git-tracked copy of `src/cli-exit.cts`'s `ExitError`/`runMain`/`terminateNow` seam, so a shipped hook can terminate without depending on `gsd-core/bin/lib/` tsc output. Regenerated by `scripts/gen-hooks-cli-exit.cjs --write`; byte-compared by `npm run lint:generated-sync` (#3911) |
| `exit-code-registry.js` | Generated, git-tracked copy of the exit-code registry (`gsd-core/bin/shared/exit-codes.json`) — `exitCodeFor`/`nameForExitCode`, pure and total over the closed table. Regenerated by `scripts/gen-exit-code-registry.cjs --write`; byte-compared by `npm run lint:generated-sync` (#3905/#3906/#3911, ADR-3889) |

## Maintenance
- When a new command, agent, workflow, reference, CLI module, or hook ships, update the corresponding section here before the release is cut.
- The drift-guard tests under `tests/` (see "How To Use This File" above) assert that every shipped file in the six flat families — agents, commands, workflows, references, CLI modules, hooks — is enumerated in this inventory. A new file in one of those without a matching row here will fail CI. Workflow `steps/` and `modes/` sub-files are the deliberate exception; see "Workflow Sub-Files" above.
- When the filesystem diverges from `docs/ARCHITECTURE.md` counts or from curated-subset docs (e.g. `docs/AGENTS.md`'s primary roster), this file is the source of truth.
