David Sienkowski 4dff9899cc fix(settings): auto-create config.json when missing (#264)
set-profile and settings commands hard-errored when .planning/config.json
did not exist, blocking users from changing model profile before running
new-project. Create config.json with balanced defaults when missing.

name, description, arguments
name description arguments
set-profile Switch model profile for GSD agents (quality/balanced/budget)
name description required
profile Profile name: quality, balanced, or budget true
Switch the model profile used by GSD agents. This controls which Claude model each agent uses, balancing quality vs token spend. | Profile | Description | |---------|-------------| | **quality** | Opus everywhere except read-only verification | | **balanced** | Opus for planning, Sonnet for execution/verification (default) | | **budget** | Sonnet for writing, Haiku for research/verification |

1. Validate argument

if $ARGUMENTS.profile not in ["quality", "balanced", "budget"]:
  Error: Invalid profile "$ARGUMENTS.profile"
  Valid profiles: quality, balanced, budget
  STOP

2. Ensure config exists

ls .planning/config.json 2>/dev/null

If .planning/config.json missing, create it with defaults:

mkdir -p .planning
{
  "model_profile": "balanced",
  "workflow": {
    "research": true,
    "plan_check": true,
    "verifier": true
  }
}

Write this to .planning/config.json, then continue.

3. Update config.json

Read current config:

cat .planning/config.json

Update model_profile field:

{
  "model_profile": "$ARGUMENTS.profile"
}

Write updated config back to .planning/config.json.

4. Confirm

✓ Model profile set to: $ARGUMENTS.profile

Agents will now use:
[Show table from model-profiles.md for selected profile]

Next spawned agents will use the new profile.

Switch to budget mode:

/gsd:set-profile budget

✓ Model profile set to: budget

Agents will now use:
| Agent | Model |
|-------|-------|
| gsd-planner | sonnet |
| gsd-executor | sonnet |
| gsd-verifier | haiku |
| ... | ... |

Switch to quality mode:

/gsd:set-profile quality

✓ Model profile set to: quality

Agents will now use:
| Agent | Model |
|-------|-------|
| gsd-planner | opus |
| gsd-executor | opus |
| gsd-verifier | sonnet |
| ... | ... |
