Project State

Project Summary

Building: Brownfield support for GSD - /gsd:map-codebase workflow that analyzes existing codebases using parallel Explore agents, producing structured .planning/codebase/ documents.

Core requirements:

  • /gsd:map-codebase produces useful codebase documents from any codebase
  • Documents are focused (<100 lines each) and easy to update incrementally
  • /gsd:new-project detects existing code and offers mapping
  • /gsd:plan-phase loads relevant codebase context automatically
  • Codebase map updates after plan execution

Constraints:

  • Explore agents required for initial mapping
  • Each codebase map file must stay under ~100 lines
  • Only load relevant codebase sections into phase planning
  • Follow existing GSD command/workflow/template patterns

Current Position

Phase: 11 of 11 (Parallel-Aware Planning) Plan: 4 of 4 in current phase Status: Phase complete Last activity: 2026-01-12 - Completed 11-04-PLAN.md

Progress: ██████████████ 100% (23 of 23 plans)

Performance Metrics

Velocity:

  • Total plans completed: 23
  • Average duration: 3.7 min
  • Total execution time: 85 min

By Phase:

Phase Plans Total Avg/Plan
1 3 9 min 3 min
2 2 5 min 2.5 min
3 1 2 min 2 min
4 2 7 min 3.5 min
5 2 5 min 2.5 min
6 2 4 min 2 min
7 1 4 min 4 min
8 1 1 min 1 min
9 1 3 min 3 min
10 4 33 min 8.3 min
11 4 12 min 3 min

Recent Trend:

  • Last 5 plans: 11-01 (4m), 11-02 (2m), 11-03 (3m), 11-04 (3m)
  • Trend: Workflow updates fast (avg 3m)

Updated after each plan completion

Accumulated Context

Decisions Made

Phase Decision Rationale
0 Folder with focused files Easier to update incrementally than monolithic file
0 Update after plan execution Fits existing STATE.md update pattern
0 Parallel Explore agents Thoroughness for initial mapping
0 Selective context loading Avoid loading irrelevant sections
6 Frontmatter with dependency graph Enable automatic context assembly via transitive closure
6 Intelligent summary selection Scan frontmatter, build graph, auto-select relevant phases
8 Active milestone details in ROADMAP.md Single source of truth during development, archive only on completion
9 Phase-scoped UAT issues Keep UAT findings tied to specific plan, not global ISSUES.md
10 git mv preserves history Rename workflow while keeping git history intact
10 execute-plan = single, execute-phase = parallel Clear naming for single-plan vs multi-plan execution
10 Agent-history v1.2 schema Extended for parallel tracking, dependencies, resume support
11 Frontmatter parallelization markers parallelizable, depends_on, files_exclusive in plan template
11 Vertical slices over workflow stages Maximize independence when parallelization enabled
11 SUMMARY references only when needed Avoid reflexive sequential chains

Roadmap Evolution

  • Phase 4 added: Plan-phase optimizations (~37% context reduction target)
  • Phase 5 added: TDD instructions for appropriate test-driven development
  • Phase 6 added: Frontmatter and related system upgrade
  • Phase 7 added: Backfill existing summaries with frontmatter
  • Phase 8 added: Improve roadmap system
  • Phase 9 added: Integrate verify-work (community contribution from OracleGreyBeard)
  • Phase 10 added: Parallel phase execution (rename workflow, create /gsd:execute-phase with parallelization)
  • Phase 11 added: Parallel-aware planning (update plan-phase.md to create parallelizable plans when enabled)
