* fix(#973): add Edit to gsd-planner tools and forbid whole-file Write of ROADMAP.md gsd-planner shipped Write but not Edit — the same writer-agent gap fixed for six agents in #571/#581. Without Edit, an in-place ROADMAP update fell back to a whole-file Write that truncated committed milestone history (292→16 lines in a real incident). Changes: - agents/gsd-planner.md: add Edit to tools: frontmatter (adjacent to Write) - agents/gsd-planner.md: update_roadmap step now directs Edit (scoped), with an explicit blocking prohibition on whole-file Write of ROADMAP.md or any existing curated .planning/ file - agents/gsd-planner.md: Write contract section clarifies Write is authorized only for net-new PLAN.md creation; existing files must use Edit - tests/agent-frontmatter.test.cjs: extend SECTION_WRITER_AGENTS list (#581 test) to cover gsd-planner — fails before fix, passes after - .changeset/973-gsd-planner-edit-tool.md: Fixed changeset, pr:0 Closes #973 Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com> * chore(#973): backfill changeset pr number (989) * fix(#973): trim gsd-planner.md prose under agent size cap (keep Edit + scoped-Edit-for-ROADMAP rule) Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com> --------- Co-authored-by: github-actions[bot] <41898282+github-actions[bot]@users.noreply.github.com> Co-authored-by: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
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
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

- Discuss modes — assumptions mode vs interview mode for
/gsd-discuss-phase - Context monitoring — context window monitoring hook architecture
