Jakub Zych a9a7a328e6 refactor: hard-fork GSD -> MSD (Make Software Done)
Mechanical rename produced by scripts/msd-rename.cjs: gsd/Gsd/GSD -> msd/Msd/MSD
across contents and paths, upstream package/repo coordinates -> @golem15/msd-core
and golem15com/msd-core. Deep links into upstream history, sibling upstream
packages, the GSD-2 import feature, CHANGELOG.md and .changeset/ are kept as-is.

Hand edits on top: MSD block-letter banner and logos, LICENSE copyright line,
package/plugin identity, regenerated lockfile, install-tree fixtures, derived
registries and benchmark baseline; migration checksum baseline re-locked
(MSD keeps its own install state, so no install had applied the old sums);
sort-order and regex-escaped expectations in tests adjusted.

msd:spec-phase Clarify WHAT a phase delivers with ambiguity scoring; produces a SPEC.md before discuss-phase. <phase> [--auto] [--text]

Clarify phase requirements through structured Socratic questioning with quantitative ambiguity scoring.

Position in workflow: spec-phase → discuss-phase → plan-phase → execute-phase → verify

How it works:

  1. Load phase context (PROJECT.md, REQUIREMENTS.md, ROADMAP.md, STATE.md)
  2. Scout the codebase — understand current state before asking questions
  3. Run Socratic interview loop (up to 6 rounds, rotating perspectives)
  4. Score ambiguity across 4 weighted dimensions after each round
  5. Gate: ambiguity ≤ 0.20 AND all dimensions meet minimums → write SPEC.md
  6. Commit SPEC.md — discuss-phase picks it up automatically on next run

Output: {phase_dir}/{padded_phase}-SPEC.md — falsifiable requirements that lock "what/why" before discuss-phase handles "how"

<runtime_note> Copilot (VS Code): Use vscode_askquestions wherever this workflow calls AskUserQuestion. They are equivalent. </runtime_note>

Phase number: $ARGUMENTS (required)

Flags:

  • --auto — Skip interactive questions; Claude selects recommended defaults and writes SPEC.md
  • --text — Use plain-text numbered lists instead of TUI menus (required for /rc remote sessions)

Context files are resolved in-workflow using init phase-op.

Execute end-to-end.

MANDATORY: Read the workflow file BEFORE taking any action. The workflow contains the complete step-by-step process including the Socratic interview loop, ambiguity scoring gate, and SPEC.md generation. Do not improvise from the objective summary above.

<success_criteria>

  • Codebase scouted for current state before questioning begins
  • All 4 ambiguity dimensions scored after each interview round
  • Gate passed: ambiguity ≤ 0.20 AND all dimension minimums met
  • SPEC.md written with falsifiable requirements, explicit boundaries, and acceptance criteria
  • SPEC.md committed atomically
  • User knows they can now run /msd:discuss-phase which will load SPEC.md automatically </success_criteria>
