Implements ADR-1411 P2 / #1415, closing #1366. Part 1 — config-loader.cts: - Adds `loadConfigResolved(cwd, options) → ConfigResolution { config, source, degraded }` with six tagged branch return paths: A1 ws+wsconfig → source:'workstream', degraded:false A2 no-ws+config → source:'root', degraded:false B ws requested, wsconfig absent → source:'root', degraded:true (intercepts recursive call) C .planning/ exists, no config → source:'builtin-defaults', degraded:false D no .planning/, global defaults readable → source:'global-defaults', degraded:false E no .planning/, no global → source:'builtin-defaults', degraded:false - `loadConfigResolved` calls `findProjectRoot` at entry to anchor resolution to the nearest .planning/ ancestor (cwd-drift fix, heuristic 4 from P1) - `loadConfig` becomes a one-line delegation: `return loadConfigResolved(cwd, options).config` - Exports `loadConfigResolved` in the `export =` block Part 2 — init.cts cmdAgentSkills: - Imports `findProjectRoot` from `./project-root.cjs` - Anchors to project root before loading config (fixes #1366 cwd-drift) - Uses `loadConfigResolved` for provenance; passes projectRoot to buildAgentSkillsBlock - Computes `configured` + `reason` (AgentSkillsReason enum): 'resolved' | 'not_configured' | 'configured_empty' | 'configured_unresolved' - configured_empty and configured_unresolved emit stderr WARNING; not_configured is silent - --json IR gains: configured, reason, source, degraded (in addition to existing agent_type, block, skills_count, warnings) Tests (TDD): - tests/config-loader.test.cjs: 8 new provenance tests (RED before impl, GREEN after) - tests/agent-skills.test.cjs: 7 new diagnostic tests (RED before impl, GREEN after) - All 306 tests across 4 suites pass (config-loader:33, agent-skills:72, init:105, workstream:96) Docs: - CONTEXT.md: Config Loader Module entry updated with loadConfigResolved interface; Resolution Provenance entry notes P2 is now implemented - docs/CLI-TOOLS.md: --json field reference table added for agent-skills Closes #1366 Part of #1411 Co-authored-by: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>
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
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
- 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
- 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
