* feat(#2162): opt-in compact GSD-state format for the statusline New statusline.state_format config, enum full|compact (default full — existing rendering untouched). "compact" renders the state segment as "<version> · P<phase>/<total> · <status>", e.g. "v1.12 · P7/12 · executing" — dropping the milestone name and progress bar (the two biggest width costs) and collapsing narrative statuses to a single keyword. Per the #2162 approval conditions, the keyword set is the canonical vocabulary from normalizeStateStatus() in state-document.cjs (discussing/planning/executing/verifying/completed/paused) — no parallel hand-rolled list, so the vocabularies can't drift — and the canonical stuck state "paused" renders uppercase as PAUSED (no new "blocked" lifecycle state). Statuses the normalizer passes through unrecognized fall back to their first word capped at 16 chars. Lifecycle scenes preserved: active_phase wins over the body phase number, milestone completion renders "complete", idle-with-next-action renders "next <action> <phases>". Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01Hme55Pvq6BhpgwBcyC5HAg * docs(#2162): changeset fragment for PR #2175 * fix(#2162): review fixes — ENUM_KEYS coverage, cap boundary tests, changeset format - register statusline.state_format in the fix-1628 coercion-bypass matrix - 15/16/17-char boundary tests for the shortGsdStatus fallback cap - changeset body ends with the (#2162) citation per house convention Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01Hme55Pvq6BhpgwBcyC5HAg * fix(#2162): round-2 review fixes — scene exclusivity, direct config-set coverage - compact renderer gates the milestone-complete scene behind the absence of an in-flight phase id, mirroring formatGsdState's if/else precedence (Scene 1 beats Scene 3); regression test covers the non-atomic active_phase + percent=100 STATE.md shape - direct config-set accept/reject test for statusline.state_format plain strings (ENUM_KEYS matrix covers only the JSON coercion shapes) Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01Hme55Pvq6BhpgwBcyC5HAg * test: regenerate golden-install-parity fixtures for the statusline hook change Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01Hme55Pvq6BhpgwBcyC5HAg * fix(#2162): complete-scene gate matches formatGsdState exactly (+property tests) Re-review Major: gating done on !phaseId held completion back for the legacy phaseNum shape — formatGsdState reaches Scene 3 on percent=100 regardless of phaseNum, so compact must too. Gate is now !s.activePhase. The phaseNum-only test now expects 'complete' and cross-checks the full renderer; a parity test feeds identical inputs to both renderers. Re-review Minor: shortGsdStatus gets fast-check property coverage (totality, canonical fixed points, separator safety, fallback shape). Golden fixtures regenerated for the hook byte change.

GSD Core documentation
Documentation is organised into four quadrants: tutorials help you learn by doing, how-to guides solve specific tasks, reference states authoritative facts, and explanation explores concepts and design decisions.
Language versions: English · Português (pt-BR) · 日本語 · 简体中文
Tutorials
- Your first project — install to first shipped phase, one guaranteed path
- Onboarding an existing codebase — bring GSD Core to a brownfield repo
- Build your first capability — author a tiny declarative capability and watch it act in the loop
- Install your first capability — install a third-party capability end-to-end: consent, verify, check for updates, remove
How-to guides
- Install on your runtime — runtime-specific install steps for all 16 supported runtimes
- Install a minimal GSD and add skills later — install only the core skills, then grow the surface with profiles and
/gsd:surface - Attach a plugin-provided skill to a GSD agent — use the
global:plugin:skillentry form to load Claude Code plugin skills into agent prompts - Discuss a phase — capture implementation decisions before planning begins
- Resolve edge-coverage findings — turn the spec phase's surfaced domain-boundary edges into covered, dismissed, or backstopped spec decisions
- Resolve prohibition findings — turn the spec phase's surfaced must-NOT constraints into resolved, dismissed, or deferred spec decisions
- Plan a phase — run research, decompose work, and verify plan quality
- Execute a phase — run plans in parallel waves with fresh-context subagents
- Verify and ship — walk through completed work, diagnose failures, and create the PR
- Run phases autonomously — use autonomous mode for unattended phase execution
- Handle quick and fast tasks — use
/gsd-quickand/gsd-fastfor ad-hoc work outside the phase loop - Configure model profiles — switch between quality, balanced, and budget model tiers
- Set up cross-AI review — configure a second AI to review code produced by the primary agent
- Work in parallel with workstreams — run independent lines of work simultaneously using workstreams
- Isolate work with workspaces — use workspaces to sandbox experimental or risky changes
- Debug a failed execution — diagnose and recover from broken or incomplete phase execution
- Spike and sketch — use
/gsd-spikeand/gsd-sketchfor exploratory work before committing to a plan - Design a UI phase — use the UI phase loop for frontend and visual work
- Develop a Capability for GSD 1.5+ — add feature Capabilities, hook fragments, and registry entries
- Add or update a host's integration — set a host's documentation-sourced
runtime.hostIntegrationaxes (ADR-1239 Phase A), with theundocumentedsentinel rule - Turn a capability off (and keep it off) — disable a capability via the surface, or gate individual hooks off without removing the capability
- Drive GSD from a tracker issue — start a phase from a GitHub, Linear, or Jira issue
- Migrate from GSD 2 — upgrade an existing GSD 2 project to GSD Core
- Update GSD — re-run the installer to pick up the latest release
- Clean up get-shit-done-cc — remove leftover old-package artifacts that cause a spurious
⬆ /gsd:updateindicator after migrating to@opengsd/gsd-core - Fix the worktree base-mismatch (exit 42) error — resolve the branch-divergence condition that halts parallel phase execution
- Recover and troubleshoot — fix common problems, rebuild context, and uninstall

Explanation
- Context engineering — how context rot forms and how GSD Core prevents it
- The phase loop — design rationale for the Discuss → Plan → Execute → Verify → Ship cycle
- Multi-agent orchestration — how subagents are spawned, scoped, and coordinated
- Security model — trust boundaries, permissions, and safe automation
- The capability trust model — why third-party capabilities are gated by consent + integrity + reversibility, not a sandbox
- How overlay capabilities compose — why first-party always wins and how the loader resolves precedence, conflicts, and fail-open load-failure warnings
- Architecture — system architecture, agent model, and data flow
- Discuss modes — assumptions mode vs interview mode for
/gsd-discuss-phase - Context monitoring — context window monitoring hook architecture
- Issue-driven orchestration — recipe for driving GSD from a tracker issue using existing primitives
