* feat(#1105): add external-job capability (SLURM scheduler-adapter producer half) The async external-job consumer half (#1165) shipped long ago: the core loop reads .planning/async-jobs/<job>.json manifests and treats a non-terminal one as the legal external_job_waiting half-state. The PRODUCER half (#1164) was the remaining unimplemented piece of #1105. This adds the producer as a default-off capability: - capabilities/external-job/ — capability.json (execute:wave:post -> executor, plan:post -> planner contributions, external_job.* config keys, default-off) + fragments teaching runtime-budget classification and externalization. - src/external-job.cts -> gsd-core/bin/lib/external-job.cjs — pure producer module: SLURM state -> manifest-status map (no guessing), manifest build/validate (versioned stability contract), sbatch/squeue/sacct parsers, and a fail-closed manifest writer (refuses a second non-terminal job for a plan_id already in flight; refuses to clobber a malformed manifest). fs/clock seams for deterministic tests. - scripts/slurm-adapter.cjs — operator CLI (submit/poll/show) wrapping bounded sbatch/squeue/sacct subprocesses; surfaces manifest commands for confirmation and never auto-runs them (trust boundary). - tests/external-job.test.cjs — 23 behavioral + fast-check property tests. - docs/reference/long-running-operations.md + docs/how-to/async-external-jobs.md. - CONTEXT.md glossary entry for the External-job Capability. - Regenerated capability-registry.cjs; pruned the now-stale test-file-count allowlist entry (external-job is at the 2-file cap). * chore(#1105): backfill PR number in changeset * fix(#1105): sync capability artifacts + update registry shape-pin tests gsd-test caught that adding the external-job capability requires its dependent artifacts regenerated and its registry-shape drift absorbed: - sync-manifest-versions: stamp 1.7.0-rc.2 into capability.json (was 1.0.0). - gen-capability-matrix --write: regenerate docs/reference/capability-matrix.md. - gen-inventory-manifest --write: regenerate docs/INVENTORY-MANIFEST.json. - check-gap-analysis-plan-post-e2e: plan:post now has 1 contribution (external-job planner fragment) instead of 0. - execute-wave-post-gate-pipeline-e2e: execute:wave:post now has 2 contributions (mempalace + external-job) instead of 1. * fix(#1105): regenerate capability-registry after version stamp sync-manifest-versions re-stamped external-job/capability.json from 1.0.0 to 1.7.0-rc.2 after the last registry regeneration, leaving the committed capability-registry.cjs stale (CI gen-capability-registry --check failed). gsd-test masked this because its setup runs the full 'npm run build' (which regenerates the registry); CI's 'npm test' pretest only runs build:lib.
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.

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
