Tom Boucher 81f9534b5a feat(adr-0002): command contract validation module + prose @-ref cleanup + workflow extraction
ADR-0002: commands/gsd/*.md contract now enforced at two layers:

LINT (scripts/lint-command-contract.cjs — new CI step):
- name: present, starts with gsd: or gsd-
- description: non-empty
- allowed-tools: non-empty, all entries canonical
- execution_context @-refs: resolve on disk, no trailing prose on same line
- handles both @~/ and $HOME/ path prefixes

TEST (tests/command-contract.test.cjs — 361 assertions):
- Behavioral contract for all 65 command files
- Replaces scattered coverage in enh-2790 + bug-3135
- Per-command per-rule test — one failure names the exact file + rule

CI (.github/workflows/test.yml):
- 'Lint — command contract (ADR-0002)' step added to lint-tests job

PROSE @-REF CLEANUP (39 command files, ~900 tokens/invocation recovered):
- Removed redundant @~/.claude/get-shit-done/... paths from <process> prose
- execution_context block is now the single authoritative load declaration
- Routing commands (sketch, spike, update, pause-work, etc.) keep routing
  instructions; only the inert path token is stripped

WORKFLOW EXTRACTION (debug.md + thread.md, ~15,000 chars / ~3,750 tokens):
- get-shit-done/workflows/debug.md: full process extracted from commands/gsd/debug.md
- get-shit-done/workflows/thread.md: full process extracted from commands/gsd/thread.md
- Command files reduced to frontmatter + objective + execution_context + context
- debug.md: 9,603 → 1,703 chars; thread.md: 7,868 → 585 chars

RENAME:
- get-shit-done/workflows/extract_learnings.md → extract-learnings.md
  (aligns with hyphen convention of all other workflow files)

DOCS:
- docs/INVENTORY.md: count 85→87, new rows, rename row, fix add-todo --backlog attribution
- docs/INVENTORY-MANIFEST.json: +debug.md +thread.md +extract-learnings.md -extract_learnings.md

Closes ADR-0002 implementation.

gsd:spec-phase Clarify WHAT a phase delivers with ambiguity scoring; produces a SPEC.md before discuss-phase. <phase> [--auto] [--text]

Bash

AskUserQuestion
Clarify phase requirements through structured Socratic questioning with quantitative ambiguity scoring.

Position in workflow: spec-phase → discuss-phase → plan-phase → execute-phase → verify

How it works:

  1. Load phase context (PROJECT.md, REQUIREMENTS.md, ROADMAP.md, STATE.md)
  2. Scout the codebase — understand current state before asking questions
  3. Run Socratic interview loop (up to 6 rounds, rotating perspectives)
  4. Score ambiguity across 4 weighted dimensions after each round
  5. Gate: ambiguity ≤ 0.20 AND all dimensions meet minimums → write SPEC.md
  6. Commit SPEC.md — discuss-phase picks it up automatically on next run

Output: {phase_dir}/{padded_phase}-SPEC.md — falsifiable requirements that lock "what/why" before discuss-phase handles "how"

<execution_context> @/.claude/get-shit-done/workflows/spec-phase.md @/.claude/get-shit-done/templates/spec.md </execution_context>

<runtime_note> Copilot (VS Code): Use vscode_askquestions wherever this workflow calls AskUserQuestion. They are equivalent. </runtime_note>

Phase number: $ARGUMENTS (required)

Flags:

  • --auto — Skip interactive questions; Claude selects recommended defaults and writes SPEC.md
  • --text — Use plain-text numbered lists instead of TUI menus (required for /rc remote sessions)

Context files are resolved in-workflow using init phase-op.

Execute end-to-end.

MANDATORY: Read the workflow file BEFORE taking any action. The workflow contains the complete step-by-step process including the Socratic interview loop, ambiguity scoring gate, and SPEC.md generation. Do not improvise from the objective summary above.

<success_criteria>

  • Codebase scouted for current state before questioning begins
  • All 4 ambiguity dimensions scored after each interview round
  • Gate passed: ambiguity ≤ 0.20 AND all dimension minimums met
  • SPEC.md written with falsifiable requirements, explicit boundaries, and acceptance criteria
  • SPEC.md committed atomically
  • User knows they can now run /gsd-discuss-phase which will load SPEC.md automatically </success_criteria>
