Convert the planner's soft comment-text guideline into a plan-write-time HARD GATE. When an acceptance criterion negative-greps for a literal (`grep -c 'LIT' file == 0`) and that same literal appears verbatim in an `<action>` body (JSDoc samples, head-comment references, "what NOT to do" snippets), the executor's commit-time verify gate later fails on the comment echo rather than a real regression — wasting cycles and training the executor to distrust the gate. `verify.plan-structure` (the `validate_plan` step) now scans for this: - confidently-extracted (quoted) negative-grep literal echoed in an <action> → error (valid:false), failing plan creation - unquoted/ambiguous grep target → warning (fallback policy) - `<!-- planner-discipline-allow: LIT -->` escape hatch skips a literal - positive-count gates (`== N`) and `!= 0`/`>= 0` are out of scope Adds the `<comment_text_discipline>` block to gsd-planner.md, the full rules + allowlist example to planner-antipatterns.md, and regression fixtures for downstream incidents 12-04, 11-04, 12-02 (plus a boundary case proving positive-count gate 11-02 is not flagged).

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.
Language versions: English · Português (pt-BR) · 日本語 · 简体中文
Tutorials
- Your first project — install to first shipped phase, one guaranteed path
- Onboarding an existing codebase — bring GSD Core to a brownfield repo
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 - Discuss a phase — capture implementation decisions before planning begins
- 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
- 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
