model_overrides / models.<phaseType> were silently inert for gsd-assumptions-analyzer,
gsd-code-reviewer, and gsd-code-fixer on Claude Code: resolveModelInternal honors them,
but the workflows spawned these agents with no model= param, so the resolved value
never reached the Agent tool and the agents inherited the session model — no warning.
Fix — thread each agent's resolved model at every spawn site (the established
plan-phase pattern; the architecture-consistent Claude mechanism, since 13 other
agents already thread their model):
- discuss-phase-assumptions.md: `resolve-model gsd-assumptions-analyzer --raw`
→ ANALYZER_MODEL, threaded.
- code-review.md + code-review-fix.md (re-review): `resolve-model gsd-code-reviewer --raw`
→ REVIEWER_MODEL, threaded.
- code-review-fix.md (both fixer spawns): `resolve-model gsd-code-fixer --raw`
→ FIXER_MODEL, threaded (same silently-inert bug, same file — folded in per review).
- quick.md review step: was reusing `{executor_model}` for gsd-code-reviewer (so the
reviewer's own override was ignored); init.quick now resolves `reviewer_model`
(gsd-code-reviewer) and the spawn threads it.
resolve-model --raw returns the bare model string (resolve-execution --raw would
return effort — wrong). The resolver maps these agents to phaseType discuss /
verification / execution, so models.<phaseType> apply too.
Scope: the three agents reachable from the two issue-named workflows + quick.md. The
wider systemic class (other agents in UNTOUCHED workflows with the same pattern) stays
documented on the issue for a maintainer-scoped structural decision (thread-at-source
vs embed-at-install like #2256), not widened here.
Docs: the stale "discuss — reserved, no subagent today" model-profile tables now list
gsd-assumptions-analyzer and the verification row includes gsd-code-reviewer, across
the English docs, the shipped gsd-core/references/model-profiles.md reference, and the
ja-JP / zh-CN / ko-KR / pt-BR locale mirrors.
Tests:
- tests/model-resolver.test.cjs: #2072 acceptance — model_overrides and
models.discuss/verification/execution resolve for all three agents.
- tests/model-routing-spawn-threading.test.cjs: every spawn of the three agents threads
a resolved model (fails pre-fix); a header-precise parity guard fails the suite if a
new un-threaded spawn of any of them regresses.
All 16 golden-install-parity fixtures + the workflow size baseline regenerated for the
changed shipped files (4 workflows + the reference doc); bin/lib is excluded from parity.

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-closed gates
- 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
