* enhance(#2572): run the verify-summary artifact check against phase SUMMARYs (W025) The artifact<->git check has existed since the beginning but was only ever pointed at .planning/research/SUMMARY.md (new-project.md:1145, new-milestone.md:425). Phase summaries -- the ones that actually claim "I created these files" -- were never checked. - extract verifySummaryCore from cmdVerifySummary: same checks, lifted out of the output() wrapper so callers consume {passed, checks, errors} directly instead of shelling out and re-parsing JSON; cmdVerifySummary is now a thin adapter over it - validate.health gains advisory W025 per phase SUMMARY with missing files Advisory only: appends to warnings[], never touches status escalation beyond the channel's own warning semantics, the repair set, or readVerificationStatus. Resolves both open questions from triage: (a) commits_exist is deliberately NOT surfaced -- its hash pattern matches any hex-shaped token in prose, too loose to show a user; (b) a phase carries N per-plan summaries plus a legacy bare SUMMARY.md, so all of them are checked via the repo-wide filter. * chore(#2572): add changeset fragment * feat(#2572): move the SUMMARY artifact check to phase completion Responds to the #2685 review. Three substantive changes. Seam (Blocker 2). The check now runs in cmdPhaseComplete, the seam the issue body cited (src/phase.cts:~1745), not validate.health. That channel does exist: cmdPhaseComplete declares warnings[], populates it from the UAT/VERIFICATION pre-scan, and emits it. The cycle objection raised against the earlier deviation holds for state.cts only -- verify.cts has no transitive import path to phase.cts, so phase.cts -> verify.cjs adds no cycle (verified over every src/*.cts). Moving it also retires the retroactive firing across all historical phases: this fires once, at completion, for the phase being completed. Extraction (Blocker 1). Pattern 2 now excludes [ and ] from its path class. The SUMMARY templates prescribe a YAML flow sequence (key-files.created: [a.ts, b.ts]) and the label matches case-insensitively, so the class previously captured the literal [ and produced a candidate that can never exist on disk -- firing on healthy projects built from the templates GSD itself ships. Stripping frontmatter was the other offered remedy; measured across all three shipped templates it is a no-op on top of the exclusion, so it is not carried. Consequence named in-code: the key-files block still is not read, which needs a real frontmatter parse. Also narrowed to the noise classes confirmed in review -- globs, bare hostnames, and paths resolving outside the project are skipped rather than reported, and the containment guard the old comment claimed now actually exists. Budget (Majors 1 and 3). verifySummaryCore takes a checkCommits option; phase completion passes false, so the discarded git cat-file probes are not spawned at all. It also passes Infinity, so every referenced file is reported instead of the first two -- a summary listing twelve files of which nine are missing now says nine, not zero. The verb keeps its historical 2-file default. Tests (Major 2). The vacuous fixtures are gone with the health block. The replacements use /-bearing paths that genuinely extract, and each fix was mutation-checked: un-anchoring pattern 2, dropping the glob, hostname or containment filter, forcing commit checking on, and re-capping at 2 each fail at least one test. * docs(#2572): describe the phase-completion SUMMARY artifact check The W025 text under /gsd-health is withdrawn with the health seam; the check is documented where it now runs, under `phase complete` in docs/CLI-TOOLS.md. Both the docs and the changeset previously overclaimed: they said a referenced file not on disk is warned about, while at most two candidates per SUMMARY were ever examined. The cap is gone at this seam, so the claim now holds -- and the text states the limits that remain, rather than leaving them to be discovered: the key-files frontmatter block is not read, commit hashes are not resolved, and globs, URLs, bare hostnames and out-of-project paths are skipped rather than reported. --------- Co-authored-by: CI Rebase Check <ci@gsd-redux>
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

Explanation

- 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
