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.

Spike an idea through experiential exploration — build focused experiments to feel the pieces of a future app, validate feasibility, and produce verified knowledge for the real build. Spikes live in `.planning/spikes/` and integrate with MSD commit patterns, state tracking, and handoff workflows.

Two modes:

  • Idea mode (default) — describe an idea to spike
  • Frontier mode (no argument or "frontier") — analyzes existing spike landscape and proposes integration and frontier spikes

Does not require prior new-project setup — auto-creates .planning/spikes/ if needed.

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

Idea: $ARGUMENTS

Available flags:

  • --quick — Skip decomposition/alignment, jump straight to building. Use when you already know what to spike.
  • --text — Use plain-text numbered lists instead of AskUserQuestion (for non-Claude runtimes).
  • --wrap-up — Package spike findings into a persistent project skill for future build conversations. Runs the spike-wrap-up workflow.
Parse the first token of $ARGUMENTS: - If it is `--wrap-up`: strip the flag, execute the spike-wrap-up workflow - Otherwise: pass all of $ARGUMENTS as the idea to the spike workflow end-to-end.

Preserve all workflow gates (prior spike check, decomposition, research, risk ordering, observability assessment, verification, MANIFEST updates, commit patterns).
