Tom Boucher 722e1db116 fix: remove jq as undocumented hard dependency (#1300)
Add --pick flag to gsd-tools.cjs for extracting a single field from
JSON output, replacing all jq pipe usage across workflow and reference
files. Since Node.js is already a hard dependency, this eliminates the
need for jq on systems where it is not installed (notably Windows).

Changes:
- gsd-tools.cjs: add --pick <field> global flag with dot-notation and
  bracket syntax support (e.g., --pick section, --pick directories[-1])
- Replace 15 jq pipe patterns across 6 workflow/reference files with
  --pick flag or inline Node.js one-liner for variable extraction
- Add regression tests for --pick flag behavior

Decimal Phase Calculation

Calculate the next decimal phase number for urgent insertions.

Using gsd-tools

# Get next decimal phase after phase 6
node "$HOME/.claude/get-shit-done/bin/gsd-tools.cjs" phase next-decimal 6

Output:

{
  "found": true,
  "base_phase": "06",
  "next": "06.1",
  "existing": []
}

With existing decimals:

{
  "found": true,
  "base_phase": "06",
  "next": "06.3",
  "existing": ["06.1", "06.2"]
}

Extract Values

DECIMAL_PHASE=$(node "$HOME/.claude/get-shit-done/bin/gsd-tools.cjs" phase next-decimal "${AFTER_PHASE}" --pick next)
BASE_PHASE=$(node "$HOME/.claude/get-shit-done/bin/gsd-tools.cjs" phase next-decimal "${AFTER_PHASE}" --pick base_phase)

Or with --raw flag:

DECIMAL_PHASE=$(node "$HOME/.claude/get-shit-done/bin/gsd-tools.cjs" phase next-decimal "${AFTER_PHASE}" --raw)
# Returns just: 06.1

Examples

Existing Phases Next Phase
06 only 06.1
06, 06.1 06.2
06, 06.1, 06.2 06.3
06, 06.1, 06.3 (gap) 06.4

Directory Naming

Decimal phase directories use the full decimal number:

SLUG=$(node "$HOME/.claude/get-shit-done/bin/gsd-tools.cjs" generate-slug "$DESCRIPTION" --raw)
PHASE_DIR=".planning/phases/${DECIMAL_PHASE}-${SLUG}"
mkdir -p "$PHASE_DIR"
