Tom Boucher da4a86d8c1 feat(#1596): ship GSD skills via .claude-plugin/plugin.json
Phase B-provide of epic #1258. Adds a build-generated skills/ dir +
a skills manifest field so plugin-installed GSD exposes gsd-core:<skill>
the native Claude Code way. Closes the gap where plugin-only installs
lacked the skill surface because bin/install.js never ran.

- scripts/gen-plugin-skills.cjs: build step converting commands/gsd/*.md
  to skills/gsd-<stem>/SKILL.md via convertClaudeCommandToClaudeSkill
- .claude-plugin/plugin.json: add "skills": "./skills/"
- package.json: add skills to files, gen:plugin-skills to build chain
- tests/issue-766-plugin-manifest.test.cjs: Section H conformance
  (manifest field + dir + frontmatter + count parity) + C2 skills symlink
- docs/adr/766-*.md: dated amendment adding skills surface row
- .changeset/rapid-bears-hum.md: type Added
- skills/: 69 generated gsd-<stem>/SKILL.md files (build-committed)

Closes #1596

gsd-spec-phase Clarify WHAT a phase delivers with ambiguity scoring; produces a SPEC.md before discuss-phase. <phase> [--auto] [--text]

Bash

AskUserQuestion
Clarify phase requirements through structured Socratic questioning with quantitative ambiguity scoring.

Position in workflow: spec-phase → discuss-phase → plan-phase → execute-phase → verify

How it works:

  1. Load phase context (PROJECT.md, REQUIREMENTS.md, ROADMAP.md, STATE.md)
  2. Scout the codebase — understand current state before asking questions
  3. Run Socratic interview loop (up to 6 rounds, rotating perspectives)
  4. Score ambiguity across 4 weighted dimensions after each round
  5. Gate: ambiguity ≤ 0.20 AND all dimensions meet minimums → write SPEC.md
  6. Commit SPEC.md — discuss-phase picks it up automatically on next run

Output: {phase_dir}/{padded_phase}-SPEC.md — falsifiable requirements that lock "what/why" before discuss-phase handles "how"

<execution_context> @/.claude/gsd-core/workflows/spec-phase.md @/.claude/gsd-core/templates/spec.md </execution_context>

<runtime_note> Copilot (VS Code): Use vscode_askquestions wherever this workflow calls AskUserQuestion. They are equivalent. </runtime_note>

Phase number: $ARGUMENTS (required)

Flags:

  • --auto — Skip interactive questions; Claude selects recommended defaults and writes SPEC.md
  • --text — Use plain-text numbered lists instead of TUI menus (required for /rc remote sessions)

Context files are resolved in-workflow using init phase-op.

Execute end-to-end.

MANDATORY: Read the workflow file BEFORE taking any action. The workflow contains the complete step-by-step process including the Socratic interview loop, ambiguity scoring gate, and SPEC.md generation. Do not improvise from the objective summary above.

<success_criteria>

  • Codebase scouted for current state before questioning begins
  • All 4 ambiguity dimensions scored after each interview round
  • Gate passed: ambiguity ≤ 0.20 AND all dimension minimums met
  • SPEC.md written with falsifiable requirements, explicit boundaries, and acceptance criteria
  • SPEC.md committed atomically
  • User knows they can now run /gsd-discuss-phase which will load SPEC.md automatically </success_criteria>
