Tom Boucher 29eb8be06d feat(graphify): commit-based staleness from built_at_commit (#3170) (#3171)
* test(graphify): TDD-red design contract for #3170 commit-staleness signal

Captures the proposed extension to graphifyStatus() as 8 failing
assertions across 3 groups (git-aware, non-git, back-compat). Suite is
describe.skip()'d so npm test stays green on the branch — removing
.skip is the green-light moment when the enhancement is approved and
implementation lands.

Verified against safishamsi/graphify v0.7.0 release notes: the field
on graph.json is built_at_commit (full git HEAD), not commit_hash as
originally guessed in #3170. Tests assert against the verified name.

Design highlights captured in the file's docstring:
- Tri-state commit_stale (true/false/null) — null means "we don't
  know" (pre-v0.7 graph or no git), distinct from false ("known fresh")
- Argument-injection fence /^[0-9a-f]{4,40}$/i validates built_at_commit
  before it reaches `git` as an argv element
- Existing graphifyStatus() fields (node_count, edge_count, stale,
  age_hours, etc.) are unchanged — back-compat fenced

Per the issue's enhancement template: no PR will be opened until the
issue is labeled `approved-enhancement`.

* feat(graphify): surface commit-based staleness from graphify v0.7+ built_at_commit

Closes #3170

graphify v0.7+ embeds built_at_commit (full git HEAD) into graph.json at
write time. GSD's existing graphifyStatus() ignored it; staleness was
mtime-only, which is a poor proxy for "does this graph reflect the
current code." A CI-built graph rebuilt minutes ago against an old
checkout reads as FRESH on mtime but is materially stale.

graphifyStatus() now returns four additional fields on the success path:

  built_at_commit   short hash from graph.built_at_commit, or null
  current_commit    short hash of git HEAD, or null when no git
  commits_behind    git rev-list --count <built>..HEAD, or null
  commit_stale      true | false | null

Tri-state on commit_stale is load-bearing. null means "we don't know"
(pre-v0.7 graph, non-git cwd, unreachable commit) — semantically
distinct from false ("known fresh"). Agents reading null should fall
back to mtime; reading false can confidently skip a rebuild.

Security: built_at_commit is on-disk and user-influenceable. Without
validation, a hostile value (e.g. "--upload-pack=evil") would reach git
as an argv element and be interpreted as an option. The
/^[0-9a-f]{4,40}$/i fence rejects anything else as absent. spawnSync's
array args (no shell) is defense in depth, not the boundary.

Skill (commands/gsd/graphify.md) Step 2b renders one conditional line:

  Source commit: abc1234 (5 commits behind HEAD)
  Source commit: abc1234 (current)
  Source commit: abc1234 (freshness unknown)

Pre-v0.7 graphs omit the line entirely — no confusing "Source commit:
unknown" rendered.

Also documents `graphify hook install` in docs/CONFIGURATION.md for
multi-dev teams who would otherwise hit graph.json merge conflicts on
parallel rebuilds (sub-enhancement 2 from #3170).

TDD red→green: tests/enh-3170-graphify-commit-staleness.test.cjs
(8 assertions across git-aware, non-git, back-compat) was committed
describe.skip()'d in c567f23d when the issue was filed; this commit
removes .skip and lands the implementation that makes them green.
Full suite 7503/7503 passes.

"If you know clearly what you want, this WILL build it for you. No bs."

"I've done SpecKit, OpenSpec and Taskmaster — this has produced the best results for me."

"By far the most powerful addition to my Claude Code. Nothing over-engineered. Literally just gets shit done."


Trusted by engineers at Amazon, Google, Shopify, and Webflow.


Important

Returning to GSD?

Run /gsd-map-codebase to re-index your codebase, then /gsd-new-project to rebuild GSD's planning context. Your code is fine — GSD just needs its context rebuilt. See the CHANGELOG for what's new.


Why I Built This

I'm a solo developer. I don't write code — Claude Code does.

Other spec-driven tools exist, but they're all built for 50-person engineering orgs — sprint ceremonies, story points, stakeholder syncs, Jira workflows. I'm not that. I'm a creative person trying to build great things consistently.

So I built GSD. The complexity is in the system, not in your workflow. Behind the scenes: context engineering, XML prompt formatting, subagent orchestration, state management. What you see: a few commands that just work.

The system gives Claude everything it needs to do the work and verify it. I trust the workflow. It just does a good job.

— TÂCHES


How It Works

The loop is six commands. Each one does exactly one thing.

1. Initialize

/gsd-new-project

Questions → research → requirements → roadmap. You approve it, then you're ready to build.

Already have code? Run /gsd-map-codebase first. It analyzes your stack, architecture, and conventions so /gsd-new-project asks the right questions.

2. Discuss

/gsd-discuss-phase 1

Your roadmap has a sentence per phase. That's not enough to build it the way you imagine it. Discuss captures your decisions before anything gets planned: layouts, API shapes, error handling, data structures — whatever gray areas exist for this specific phase.

The output feeds directly into research and planning. Skip it, get reasonable defaults. Use it, get your vision.

3. Plan

/gsd-plan-phase 1

Research → plan → verify, in a loop until the plans pass. Each plan is small enough to execute in a fresh context window.

4. Execute

/gsd-execute-phase 1

Plans run in parallel waves. Each executor gets a fresh 200k-token context. Each task gets its own atomic commit. Walk away, come back to completed work with a clean git history.

Your main context window stays at 30–40%. The work happens in the subagents.

5. Verify

/gsd-verify-work 1

Walk through what was built. Anything broken gets a diagnosed fix plan — ready for immediate re-execution. You don't debug manually; you just run execute again.

6. Repeat → Ship

/gsd-ship 1
/gsd-complete-milestone
/gsd-new-milestone

Loop discuss → plan → execute → verify → ship until the milestone is done. Then archive, tag, and start the next one fresh.


Getting Started

npx get-shit-done-cc@latest

The installer prompts for your runtime (Claude Code, OpenCode, Gemini CLI, Kilo, Codex, Copilot, Cursor, Windsurf, and more) and whether to install globally or locally.

claude --dangerously-skip-permissions

GSD is built for frictionless automation. Skip-permissions is how it's intended to run.

See docs/USER-GUIDE.md for the full walkthrough, non-interactive install flags for all 15 runtimes, minimal install (--minimal), Docker setup, and permissions configuration.


Commands

The main loop:

Command What it does
/gsd-new-project Questions → research → requirements → roadmap
/gsd-discuss-phase [N] Capture implementation decisions before planning
/gsd-plan-phase [N] Research + plan + verify
/gsd-execute-phase <N> Execute plans in parallel waves
/gsd-verify-work [N] Manual acceptance testing
/gsd-ship [N] Create PR from verified phase work
/gsd-progress --next Auto-detect and run the next step
/gsd-complete-milestone Archive milestone and tag release
/gsd-new-milestone Start next version

Notable extras:

Command What it does
/gsd-quick Ad-hoc tasks with GSD guarantees — skips planning overhead
/gsd-map-codebase Analyze an existing codebase before starting a new project
/gsd-autonomous Drive all remaining phases without stopping
/gsd-forensics Post-mortem a failed or stuck run
/gsd-help Full command reference inside your runtime

For the complete command reference — workstreams, workspaces, phase management, code quality, backlog, session tools — see docs/COMMANDS.md.


Why It Works

Three things most AI-coding setups get wrong:

1. Context bloat. As a session grows, quality degrades. GSD keeps your main context clean by doing the heavy work in fresh subagent contexts. Researchers, planners, and executors each start fresh with exactly what they need.

2. No shared memory. GSD maintains structured artifacts that survive session boundaries: PROJECT.md (vision), REQUIREMENTS.md (scope), ROADMAP.md (where you're going), STATE.md (current position and decisions), CONTEXT.md (per-phase implementation decisions). Every new session loads these and knows exactly where things stand.

3. No verification. Code that "runs" isn't code that "works." GSD's verify step walks you through what was built, diagnoses failures with dedicated debug agents, and generates fix plans before you declare a phase done.

See docs/ARCHITECTURE.md for how the multi-agent orchestration and context engineering work in detail.


Configuration

Settings live in .planning/config.json. Configure during /gsd-new-project or update with /gsd-settings.

Key dials:

Setting What it controls
mode interactive (confirm each step) or yolo (auto-approve)
Model profiles quality / balanced / budget — controls which model each agent uses
workflow.research / plan_check / verifier Toggle the quality agents that add tokens and time
parallelization.enabled Run independent plans simultaneously

For the full configuration reference — all settings, git branching strategies, per-runtime model overrides, workstream config inheritance, agent skills injection — see docs/CONFIGURATION.md.

Troubleshooting

Commands not showing up? Restart your runtime after install. GSD installs to ~/.claude/skills/gsd-*/ (Claude Code), ~/.codex/skills/gsd-*/ (Codex), or the equivalent for your runtime.

Something broken? Re-run the installer — it's idempotent:

npx get-shit-done-cc@latest

Containers or Docker? Set CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR before installing to avoid tilde-expansion issues:

CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR=/home/youruser/.claude npx get-shit-done-cc --global
