Lex Christopherson cffb3f24cd feat(settings): add /gsd:settings command for workflow toggles
Adds interactive settings command to toggle workflow agents:
- Plan Researcher (workflow.research)
- Plan Checker (workflow.plan_check)
- Execution Verifier (workflow.verifier)

Updates plan-phase.md and execute-phase.md to check config before
spawning these agents. Flags still override config per-invocation.

AskUserQuestion
Allow users to toggle workflow agents on/off via interactive settings.

Updates .planning/config.json with workflow preferences that control whether research, plan checking, and verification agents are spawned.

1. Validate Environment

ls .planning/config.json 2>/dev/null

If not found: Error - run /gsd:new-project first.

2. Read Current Config

cat .planning/config.json

Parse current values (default to true if not present):

  • workflow.research — spawn researcher during plan-phase
  • workflow.plan_check — spawn plan checker during plan-phase
  • workflow.verifier — spawn verifier during execute-phase

3. Present Settings

Use AskUserQuestion with current values shown:

AskUserQuestion([
  {
    question: "Spawn Plan Researcher? (researches domain before planning)",
    header: "Research",
    multiSelect: false,
    options: [
      { label: "Yes", description: "Research phase goals before planning" },
      { label: "No", description: "Skip research, plan directly" }
    ]
  },
  {
    question: "Spawn Plan Checker? (verifies plans before execution)",
    header: "Plan Check",
    multiSelect: false,
    options: [
      { label: "Yes", description: "Verify plans meet phase goals" },
      { label: "No", description: "Skip plan verification" }
    ]
  },
  {
    question: "Spawn Execution Verifier? (verifies phase completion)",
    header: "Verifier",
    multiSelect: false,
    options: [
      { label: "Yes", description: "Verify must-haves after execution" },
      { label: "No", description: "Skip post-execution verification" }
    ]
  }
])

Pre-select based on current config values.

4. Update Config

Merge new workflow settings into existing config.json:

{
  ...existing_config,
  "workflow": {
    "research": true/false,
    "plan_check": true/false,
    "verifier": true/false
  }
}

Write updated config to .planning/config.json.

5. Confirm Changes

Display:

| Setting              | Value |
|----------------------|-------|
| Plan Researcher      | {On/Off} |
| Plan Checker         | {On/Off} |
| Execution Verifier   | {On/Off} |

These settings apply to future /gsd:plan-phase and /gsd:execute-phase runs.

Override per-invocation with flags:
- /gsd:plan-phase --research (force research)
- /gsd:plan-phase --skip-research (skip research)
- /gsd:plan-phase --skip-verify (skip plan check)
