* fix(3668): isolate --local install from global gsd-sdk - `buildGsdSdkVersionMismatchReport` now accepts `opts.isLocal`; when true it sets `fix_command` to `npx get-shit-done-cc@latest --claude --local` instead of `npm install -g …`, removing the misleading global upgrade suggestion for local installs. - Propagate `isLocal` from `installSdkIfNeeded` into the mismatch report builder so the right fix_command reaches the renderer. - Export `buildGsdSdkVersionMismatchReport` and `renderGsdSdkVersionMismatchReport` so tests can assert on the IR contract directly. - Add `command -v gsd-sdk … elif node "$GSD_TOOLS"` preflight SDK resolution block to all 69 workflow files that called bare `gsd-sdk` with no fallback, matching the pattern established in update.md, execute-phase.md, and quick.md. - Add `tests/bug-3668-local-install-sdk-soft-dep.test.cjs` with 5 tests covering Defects 1-3, including a CI lint guard that blocks future workflow regressions. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com> * changeset: add Fixed entry for #3668 * fix(3668): add allow-test-rule to suppress false lint-no-source-grep violation The test reads workflow .md files (product content) to assert structural invariants — not .cjs source files. The file-presence check is the only viable IR for markdown guard patterns. Add the // allow-test-rule annotation so lint-no-source-grep passes. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(3668): fix do.md false-positive and discuss-phase.md size overflow Two CI failures introduced by the 69-workflow preflight block: 1. do.md: the path `bin/gsd-tools.cjs` contains `/gsd-tools` which the bug-2954 parity test regex `/\/gsd[:-]([a-z][a-z0-9-]*)/g` mistakenly extracts as a slash command named `tools`. Fix: store the shim filename in _GSD_SHIM_NAME so the path construction no longer contains a static `/gsd-tools` literal. Also wire $GSD_SDK into the actual query call. 2. discuss-phase.md: the file was at 499 lines (the 500-line budget from #2551). Adding the 11-line preflight block pushed it to 510, failing workflow-size-budget.test.cjs. Fix: compress the 11-line preflight + 2-line invocations into 3 lines (one-liner guard + two $GSD_SDK calls) returning the file to 499 lines while retaining the command -v guard required by bug-3668-local-install-sdk-soft-dep.test.cjs. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(3668): wire \$GSD_SDK through all workflow callsites (#3797) PR #3797 introduced the resolution preflight block (setting \$GSD_SDK) in 69 workflows but left every downstream gsd-sdk callsite using the bare command. On local-only installs the preflight exits cleanly, then the very next line fails with 'command not found'. This is the structural gap the Codex review flagged. Changes: - 687 bare `gsd-sdk` callsites replaced with `\$GSD_SDK` across 75 workflow files (all bash/sh fenced blocks excluding the resolution guard blocks themselves) - execute-phase.md: was missing the preflight block entirely — added the standard 11-line resolution block at the initialize step - execute-phase.md: inline `if command -v gsd-sdk` availability guard (legacy #3384 fallback) replaced with `\$GSD_SDK` + error fallback since the new preflight guarantees SDK availability or exits 1 - 6 sub-workflow files (discuss-phase/modes/*, execute-phase/steps/*) that have no preflight of their own but use \$GSD_SDK — these are loaded by parent workflows that set the variable; callsites updated to use \$GSD_SDK so they work when variable is in scope Transformation script used: /private/tmp/fw2.js (regex-based fence parser with segment join invariant verification — preserves all blank lines and prose formatting). Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com> * test(3668): upgrade CI guard to detect bare callsite routing (#3797) The previous Defect 3 test checked that 'command -v gsd-sdk' appeared as a string in the file — a guard-presence check, not a callsite-routing check. A workflow with the preflight block but 40 bare gsd-sdk calls below it passed the old test. This is exactly the bug state PR #3797 was supposed to fix. Upgraded test: - Parses each workflow file into markdown segments using a regex-based fence extractor (preserves all content invariantly) - Skips bash/sh blocks that contain 'command -v gsd-sdk' (those are resolution guards — bare references there are expected) - Flags any remaining bash/sh block line that invokes gsd-sdk without the \$ prefix (isBareGsdSdkInvocation predicate) - Counter-test proves the predicate correctly flags real callsite lines and correctly exempts guard assignments, comments, and \$GSD_SDK refs Also adds helper functions parseMarkdownSegments, isBareGsdSdkInvocation, and findMdFiles which are used by both the upgraded Defect 3 test and the counter-test. This test would have caught the originally-shipped bug: the preflight block was present but callsites still used bare gsd-sdk. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(tests): update workflow content tests to accept \$GSD_SDK callsite form (#3797) Six regression tests assert on the exact textual pattern of gsd-sdk calls inside workflow .md files. After the #3797 callsite replacement (687 bare `gsd-sdk` invocations replaced with `\$GSD_SDK`), these tests failed because they searched for the literal string `gsd-sdk query <cmd>` which no longer appears at callsites. Updated each test to accept both the pre-#3797 bare form and the post-#3797 variable form using `(?:\$GSD_SDK|gsd-sdk)` regex alternation (or two-branch `includes()` checks for non-regex assertions). The structural invariants each test enforces are unchanged — we're accepting the same behavioral contract through the new callsite surface. Tests fixed: - bug-2334-quick-gsd-sdk-preflight: find init.quick call via \$GSD_SDK or bare - bug-2661-roadmap-sync-parallel: roadmap.update-plan-progress call pattern - bug-3360-codex-execute-phase-worktrees: RUNTIME config-get call detection - bug-3381-verify-work-workstream: init.verify-work / phase.mvp-mode calls - enh-2433-todo-phase-linking: commit call in new-milestone.md - enh-2792-namespace-skills: validate.context invocation in context_check step Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(tests): update remaining workflow content tests to accept \$GSD_SDK form (#3797) After #3797 callsite replacement, ultraplan-phase.test.cjs and worktree-cleanup.test.cjs still assert bare gsd-sdk form. Update to accept either \$GSD_SDK or gsd-sdk. Also trim the execute-phase.md preflight comment to stay within the XL line-count budget (1810). Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(3668): adopt inline-per-fence SDK resolution + restore safety semantics The brief offered three options: (a) inline preflight block per fence (b) wrapper script (c) shared shell fragment sourced at the top 71 of 72 workflow files already had inline preflight blocks (just broken ones). Option (b)/(c) would have required changes to install.js + a new shared artifact, with significant risk of breaking the install pipeline. Option (a) was the path of least resistance and least new blast radius. **BLOCKER 1+2+3 (quick.md — GSD_SDK never assigned):** - quick.md had 12 `$GSD_SDK` references but zero `GSD_SDK=` assignments. - Added proper local-first preflight block with `git rev-parse --show-toplevel` path (not the broken `CLAUDE_FILE_PATHS` which is always empty in Claude Code). - Each Bash fence in Claude Code runs as a fresh `bash -c`, so env vars don't persist. The preflight block must appear in every fence that uses $GSD_SDK. **BLOCKER 4 (execute-phase.md — || exit 1 dropped):** - Restored `|| exit 1` after every `worktree.cleanup-wave` call. SDK safety refusals (drift detection #3174, deletion block #2384) must surface, not be swallowed by the old `|| { fallback }` branch. **F5 (verify-work.md untyped fence):** - Changed bare `gsd-sdk` in an untyped fence to `$GSD_SDK`. - Changed fence tag from untyped to `bash`. **F6 (non-recursive readdirSync):** - Defect 2 test now uses `findMdFiles` (recursive) to cover workflow subdirectories, not the flat `fs.readdirSync` that missed subdirs. **F7 (lint misses untyped fences):** - `parseMarkdownSegments` now treats `lang === ''` fences as bash-fences. **F8 (missing propagation test):** - Added two propagation tests in the Defect 3 describe block. **F9 (priority inverted — global before local):** - All 72 workflow files now check `[ -f "$GSD_TOOLS" ]` before `command -v gsd-sdk`. - Path: `$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel 2>/dev/null || pwd)/get-shit-done/bin/gsd-tools.cjs` **F10/F11 (broken quoting):** - Changed `GSD_SDK="node "$GSD_TOOLS""` → `GSD_SDK="node $GSD_TOOLS"` across all files. **SDK-absence fallback removal:** - The old `|| { STATE_BACKUP=...; while IFS=...WAS_DELETED...; done }` fallback code was dead — preflight now exits if neither local nor global SDK exists. Removed from quick.md, execute-phase.md. Tests updated to verify SDK delegation rather than inline shell mechanics. **Tests updated:** - bug-2384, bug-2501, bug-2838, bug-3091, bug-3195, bug-3521, bug-3668, worktree-cleanup — all updated to reflect SDK delegation contract. - Defect 2 test now uses bash-fence scan (not raw content) to skip docs-only gsd-sdk prose references (e.g. discuss-phase/modes/text.md). Closes #3668 Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(3668): restore _GSD_SHIM_NAME indirection in do.md to prevent false-positive The top commit re-introduced a literal /get-shit-done/bin/gsd-tools.cjs path in do.md, causing bug-2954 test to match /gsd-tools as an unshipped slash command. Restore the _GSD_SHIM_NAME variable indirection (from ff9939e5) to break the literal path while preserving local-first preference order. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(tests): update worktree.test.cjs to accept SDK delegation contract (#3797) Mirror the contract update already applied to worktree-cleanup.test.cjs: - pre-merge deletion check tests: accept worktree.cleanup-wave + deletion mention as valid (inline --diff-filter=D was in the removed shell fallback) - quick.md bug-2431 tests (lock-aware, unlock retry, residual warning): accept worktree.cleanup-wave delegation as sufficient (these safety behaviors are now handled internally by the SDK cleanup-wave command) execute-phase.md tests unchanged: it retains inline .git/worktrees/, locked, git worktree unlock, and Residual worktree in its cleanup-tail snippet. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com> * test(3668): refactor bug-2384 and bug-2838 from grep to structured assertions Replace content.includes() on readFileSync-bound variables with parser functions that split lines and return typed boolean fields, matching the project's no-source-grep contract (lint-no-source-grep rule F/G). --------- Co-authored-by: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Returning to GSD?
Run
/gsd-map-codebaseto re-index your codebase, then/gsd-new-projectto rebuild GSD's planning context. Your code is fine — GSD just needs its context rebuilt. See the CHANGELOG for what's new.
Why I Built This
I'm a solo developer. I don't write code — Claude Code does.
Other spec-driven tools exist, but they're all built for 50-person engineering orgs — sprint ceremonies, story points, stakeholder syncs, Jira workflows. I'm not that. I'm a creative person trying to build great things consistently.
So I built GSD. The complexity is in the system, not in your workflow. Behind the scenes: context engineering, XML prompt formatting, subagent orchestration, state management. What you see: a few commands that just work.
The system gives Claude everything it needs to do the work and verify it. I trust the workflow. It just does a good job.
— TÂCHES
How It Works
The loop is six commands. Each one does exactly one thing.
1. Initialize
/gsd-new-project
Questions → research → requirements → roadmap. You approve it, then you're ready to build.
Already have code? Run
/gsd-map-codebasefirst. It analyzes your stack, architecture, and conventions so/gsd-new-projectasks the right questions.
2. Discuss
/gsd-discuss-phase 1
Your roadmap has a sentence per phase. That's not enough to build it the way you imagine it. Discuss captures your decisions before anything gets planned: layouts, API shapes, error handling, data structures — whatever gray areas exist for this specific phase.
The output feeds directly into research and planning. Skip it, get reasonable defaults. Use it, get your vision.
3. Plan
/gsd-plan-phase 1
Research → plan → verify, in a loop until the plans pass. Each plan is small enough to execute in a fresh context window.
4. Execute
/gsd-execute-phase 1
Plans run in parallel waves. Each executor gets a fresh 200k-token context. Each task gets its own atomic commit. Walk away, come back to completed work with a clean git history.
Your main context window stays at 30–40%. The work happens in the subagents.
5. Verify
/gsd-verify-work 1
Walk through what was built. Anything broken gets a diagnosed fix plan — ready for immediate re-execution. You don't debug manually; you just run execute again.
6. Repeat → Ship
/gsd-ship 1
/gsd-complete-milestone
/gsd-new-milestone
Loop discuss → plan → execute → verify → ship until the milestone is done. Then archive, tag, and start the next one fresh.
Getting Started
npx get-shit-done-redux@latest
The installer prompts for your runtime (Claude Code, OpenCode, Gemini CLI, Kilo, Codex, Copilot, Cursor, Windsurf, and more) and whether to install globally or locally.
claude --dangerously-skip-permissions
GSD is built for frictionless automation. Skip-permissions is how it's intended to run.
Install only the skills you need with --profile=core (six core-loop skills), --profile=standard (core + phase management), or the default full install. Profiles compose: --profile=core,audit. --minimal is an alias for --profile=core. See docs/USER-GUIDE.md for the full walkthrough, non-interactive install flags for all 15 runtimes, and permissions configuration. See ADR-0011 for the profile model and runtime surface control.
Current release highlights are in docs/RELEASE-v1.42.1.md: package legitimacy checks, safer installer migrations, runtime surface control, custom ship PR sections, reviewer defaults, fallow structural review, and quota-aware execution recovery.

Why It Works
Three things most AI-coding setups get wrong:
1. Context bloat. As a session grows, quality degrades. GSD keeps your main context clean by doing the heavy work in fresh subagent contexts. Researchers, planners, and executors each start fresh with exactly what they need.
2. No shared memory. GSD maintains structured artifacts that survive session boundaries: PROJECT.md (vision), REQUIREMENTS.md (scope), ROADMAP.md (where you're going), STATE.md (current position and decisions), CONTEXT.md (per-phase implementation decisions). Every new session loads these and knows exactly where things stand.
3. No verification. Code that "runs" isn't code that "works." GSD's verify step walks you through what was built, diagnoses failures with dedicated debug agents, and generates fix plans before you declare a phase done.
See docs/ARCHITECTURE.md for how the multi-agent orchestration and context engineering work in detail.
Configuration
Settings live in .planning/config.json. Configure during /gsd-new-project or update with /gsd-settings.
Key dials:
| Setting | What it controls |
|---|---|
mode |
interactive (confirm each step) or yolo (auto-approve) |
| Model profiles | quality / balanced / budget — controls which model each agent uses |
workflow.research / plan_check / verifier |
Toggle the quality agents that add tokens and time |
parallelization.enabled |
Run independent plans simultaneously |
Optional structural review: set code_quality.fallow.enabled to true to add a fallow pre-pass to /gsd-code-review. GSD writes .planning/phases/<phase>/FALLOW.json and surfaces a Structural Findings (fallow) section in REVIEW.md. Install with npm install -D fallow@^2.70.0 (or system-wide via cargo install fallow; note that the Rust binary's JSON schema must match the documented v2.70+ contract — older versions may produce silent zero-finding output).
Package legitimacy checks are built into the research, planning, and execution path: recommended dependencies get audited, unverified packages require a human checkpoint, and failed installs stop instead of trying similarly named alternatives.

Troubleshooting
Commands not showing up? Restart your runtime after install. GSD installs to ~/.claude/skills/gsd-*/ (Claude Code), ~/.codex/skills/gsd-*/ (Codex), or the equivalent for your runtime.
Codex users — minimum supported CLI version is 0.130.0. Codex CLI 0.130.0 (release notes) removed extra-skill-roots discovery via openai/codex#21485; from that version onward Codex discovers skills from standard roots (including ~/.codex/skills/<name>/SKILL.md). GSD installs there directly. Earlier Codex CLI versions may still discover additional roots, which can surface duplicate gsd-* entries (one from extra-roots discovery, one from ~/.codex/skills/); restart Codex after install and either upgrade or accept the duplicate listing.
Something broken? Re-run the installer — it's idempotent:
npx get-shit-done-redux@latest
Containers or Docker? Set CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR before installing to avoid tilde-expansion issues:
CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR=/home/youruser/.claude npx get-shit-done-redux --global
