* fix(#1196): wire discuss loop step for capability hooks discuss was contract-declared (gsd:loop-host marker, in POINT_ORDER and LOOP_HOST_CONTRACT) but structurally unwireable: discuss-phase.md had no `loop render-hooks` dispatch and was absent from the conformance gate's HOST_LOOP_FILES, so capabilities could never wire discuss:pre/discuss:post. - discuss-phase.md: add minimal discuss:pre (before analyze_phase) and discuss:post (after write_context) render-hooks dispatch steps that delegate consumption to a new shared reference (kept under the 32KB #2551 budget; no inline subagent dispatch token). - references/loop-hook-dispatch.md: new canonical, point-agnostic contract for consuming `loop render-hooks --raw` activeHooks (contribution/step/ gate) — single source for hook consumption across host loops. - gen-loop-host-contract.cjs: derive HOST_LOOP_FILES from STEP_WORKFLOWS and export scanWiredPoints()/getWiredLoopPoints() (throws on a missing host file) — one source of truth for the host-loop file + wired-point set. - phase6-capstone-conformance.test.cjs: consume the derived HOST_LOOP_FILES and shared scanWiredPoints (was a hand-maintained duplicate omitting discuss-phase.md + a duplicated regex). - gen-capability-registry.cjs: add validateHooksWired() gen-time guard that rejects a capability hook declared at a valid-but-unwired loop point, with a clear remediation message — failure now surfaces at gen --check/--write time instead of deep in the full conformance suite. - tests (capability-registry.test.cjs): regression + anti-pattern parity guards (every loop-host marker is in STEP_WORKFLOWS/HOST_LOOP_FILES; POINT_ORDER === flattened LOOP_HOST_CONTRACT) so no step can drift into the discuss-class gap again. - docs/INVENTORY*: register the new reference.

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
- Resolve edge-coverage findings — turn the spec phase's surfaced domain-boundary edges into covered, dismissed, or backstopped spec decisions
- 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
- Develop a Capability for GSD 1.5+ — add feature Capabilities, hook fragments, and registry entries
- 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

Explanation
- Context engineering — how context rot forms and how GSD Core prevents it
- The phase loop — design rationale for the Discuss → Plan → Execute → Verify → Ship cycle
- Multi-agent orchestration — how subagents are spawned, scoped, and coordinated
- Security model — trust boundaries, permissions, and safe automation
- Architecture — system architecture, agent model, and data flow
- Discuss modes — assumptions mode vs interview mode for
/gsd-discuss-phase - Context monitoring — context window monitoring hook architecture
- Issue-driven orchestration — recipe for driving GSD from a tracker issue using existing primitives
