Project State

Project Summary

Building: Brownfield support for GSD - /gsd:map-codebase workflow that analyzes existing codebases using parallel Explore agents, producing structured .planning/codebase/ documents.

Core requirements:

  • /gsd:map-codebase produces useful codebase documents from any codebase
  • Documents are focused (<100 lines each) and easy to update incrementally
  • /gsd:new-project detects existing code and offers mapping
  • /gsd:plan-phase loads relevant codebase context automatically
  • Codebase map updates after plan execution

Constraints:

  • Explore agents required for initial mapping
  • Each codebase map file must stay under ~100 lines
  • Only load relevant codebase sections into phase planning
  • Follow existing GSD command/workflow/template patterns

Current Position

Phase: 13 of 14 (Debug Agent) Plan: 1 of 3 in current phase Status: In progress Last activity: 2026-01-15 - Completed 13-01-PLAN.md

Progress: ███████████████████████░░░░ 27/33 plans (~82%)

Performance Metrics

Velocity:

  • Total plans completed: 23
  • Average duration: 3.7 min
  • Total execution time: 85 min

By Phase:

Phase Plans Total Avg/Plan
1 3 9 min 3 min
2 2 5 min 2.5 min
3 1 2 min 2 min
4 2 7 min 3.5 min
5 2 5 min 2.5 min
6 2 4 min 2 min
7 1 4 min 4 min
8 1 1 min 1 min
9 1 3 min 3 min
10 4 33 min 8.3 min
11 4 12 min 3 min
99 3 1 min <1 min (parallel)

Recent Trend:

  • Last 5 plans: 11-02 (2m), 11-03 (3m), 11-04 (3m), 99-01/02/03 (<1m parallel)
  • Trend: Parallel execution dramatically faster

Updated after each plan completion

Accumulated Context

Decisions Made

Phase Decision Rationale
0 Folder with focused files Easier to update incrementally than monolithic file
0 Update after plan execution Fits existing STATE.md update pattern
0 Parallel Explore agents Thoroughness for initial mapping
0 Selective context loading Avoid loading irrelevant sections
6 Frontmatter with dependency graph Enable automatic context assembly via transitive closure
6 Intelligent summary selection Scan frontmatter, build graph, auto-select relevant phases
8 Active milestone details in ROADMAP.md Single source of truth during development, archive only on completion
9 Phase-scoped UAT issues Keep UAT findings tied to specific plan, not global ISSUES.md
10 git mv preserves history Rename workflow while keeping git history intact
10 execute-plan = single, execute-phase = parallel Clear naming for single-plan vs multi-plan execution
10 Agent-history v1.2 schema Extended for parallel tracking, dependencies, resume support
11 Frontmatter parallelization markers parallelizable, depends_on, files_exclusive in plan template
11 Vertical slices over workflow stages Maximize independence when parallelization enabled
11 SUMMARY references only when needed Avoid reflexive sequential chains
13 Consolidated debugging expertise to 990 lines Complete methodology with 59% reduction from source material

Roadmap Evolution

  • Phase 4 added: Plan-phase optimizations (~37% context reduction target)
  • Phase 5 added: TDD instructions for appropriate test-driven development
  • Phase 6 added: Frontmatter and related system upgrade
  • Phase 7 added: Backfill existing summaries with frontmatter
  • Phase 8 added: Improve roadmap system
  • Phase 9 added: Integrate verify-work (community contribution from OracleGreyBeard)
  • Phase 10 added: Parallel phase execution (rename workflow, create /gsd:execute-phase with parallelization)
  • Phase 11 added: Parallel-aware planning (update plan-phase.md to create parallelizable plans when enabled)
  • Phase 12 added: Changelog & update awareness (remote changelog fetch, /gsd:whats-new, publish workflow integration)
  • Phase 13 added: Dedicated debug agent (gsd-debugger with baked-in expertise, thin orchestrator pattern)
  • Phase 14 added: Dedicated researcher agent (gsd-researcher with research methodology, tool strategy, output formats)
