* feat(#3218): the prompt layer asks the CLI for plan counts Seven sites across four workflows counted plans with ls and wc -l instead of asking the CLI. A shell glob is not scanPhasePlans, so every fix that landed on the owner missed all seven: they counted superseded plans as live, reported zero for the nested plans layout, and missed loosely-named files. The 1762 figure of 30 plans and 24 summaries came from here. phase find is extended rather than a verb added - 3218 is an enhancement whose own checklist says it adds no new command, and CONTRIBUTING makes a new verb a feature needing approved-feature. It gains plan_count and summary_count for the live set and plan_count_all for the physical one, additively; the existing arrays are untouched. Both sets are exposed because the sites need different ones. Amendment 1 names two cases; three of these sites ask a third - did the planner write files to disk - and take the physical set, because a superseded plan is still a file the planner wrote. The progress.md dead route is fixed and was worse than the issue said. It read .plans and .summaries arrays that roadmap.analyze has never emitted, so the fallback always fired, both counts were always zero, and Route 0's resume-incomplete-phase check had never fired at all. The ratchet baseline is empty. Its own stale-entry check makes that self-enforcing. Verified on the remote runner. * test(#3218): acknowledge the workflow growth and update the stale guard The emitted-attribution gate named its own remedy, so it was followed rather than pre-guessed: four workflow files grew between 200 and 770 bytes because each replaced a shell glob with a find-phase call plus its jq extraction. plan-phase grew most - two sites, and it takes the physical count for its did-the-planner- write-files question. progress also carries the Route 0 dead-path fix. plan-phase-drift-guard asserted the literal old ls shape. Updated rather than deleted: what it protects is that a filesystem fallback exists and is reachable, and that is intact. It is not a regression - gsd_run is already load-bearing throughout plan-phase.md long before step 9, so the 9a and 11a fallback never existed to survive gsd_run being unavailable; it guards against the planner subagent's return hanging. Three ack sources collided with the new fragment, which the gate treats as a hard error rather than last-wins. Only the three colliding keys were removed, not the 421 spent entries, and two fragments left entryless were deleted per the convention that an empty fragment signals nothing. Verified on the remote runner. * docs(#3218): document the live and physical plan counts docs/CLI-TOOLS.md gains a find-phase counts section covering plan_count and summary_count for the live set against plan_count_all for the physical one, plus the null-not-zero not-found behavior. The live-versus-physical distinction is spelled out because a caller picking the wrong one gets a plausible number, which is the trap Amendment 1 records. Changeset leads with what a user sees: progress and execute-plan stop counting superseded plans as outstanding, a nested plans layout stops reporting zero, and Route 0 resume routing starts working after never having worked. No how-to. Nothing is enabled and nothing is sequenced - the user runs the same command and the number is simply correct. The one new distinction is field semantics, which is what a reference entry is for. * chore(#3218): backfill changeset PR number pr:0 placeholder replaced with the real number now that #3327 exists. --------- Co-authored-by: sim <sim@local>

|
||
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
## State Commands
|
||
|
||
Manage `.planning/STATE.md` — the project's living memory.
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
# Load full project config + state as JSON
|
||
node gsd-tools.cjs state load
|
||
|
||
# Output STATE.md frontmatter as JSON
|
||
node gsd-tools.cjs state json
|
||
|
||
# Update a single field
|
||
node gsd-tools.cjs state update <field> <value>
|
||
|
||
# Get STATE.md content or a specific section
|
||
node gsd-tools.cjs state get [section]
|
||
|
||
# Batch update multiple fields
|
||
node gsd-tools.cjs state patch --field1 val1 --field2 val2
|
||
|
||
# Increment plan counter
|
||
node gsd-tools.cjs state advance-plan
|
||
|
||
# Record execution metrics
|
||
node gsd-tools.cjs state record-metric --phase N --plan M --duration Xmin [--tasks N] [--files N]
|
||
|
||
# Recalculate progress bar
|
||
node gsd-tools.cjs state update-progress
|
||
|
||
# Add a decision
|
||
node gsd-tools.cjs state add-decision --summary "..." [--phase N] [--rationale "..."]
|
||
# Or from files:
|
||
node gsd-tools.cjs state add-decision --summary-file path [--rationale-file path]
|
||
|
||
# Add/resolve blockers
|
||
node gsd-tools.cjs state add-blocker --text "..."
|
||
node gsd-tools.cjs state resolve-blocker --text "..."
|
||
|
||
# Record session continuity
|
||
node gsd-tools.cjs state record-session --stopped-at "..." [--resume-file path]
|
||
|
||
# Phase start — update STATE.md Status/Last activity for a new phase
|
||
node gsd-tools.cjs state begin-phase --phase N --name SLUG --plans COUNT
|
||
|
||
# Agent-discoverable blocker signalling (used by discuss-phase / UI flows)
|
||
node gsd-tools.cjs state signal-waiting --type TYPE --question "..." --options "A|B" --phase P
|
||
node gsd-tools.cjs state signal-resume
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### State Snapshot
|
||
|
||
Structured parse of the full STATE.md:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
node gsd-tools.cjs state-snapshot
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Returns JSON with: current position, phase, plan, status, decisions, blockers, metrics, last activity.
|
||
|
||
### Smart Entry
|
||
|
||
Read-only situation classifier used by `/gsd-next`.
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
node gsd-tools.cjs smart-entry # Human summary + recommended route
|
||
node gsd-tools.cjs smart-entry --json # Machine-readable result for workflows
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
The JSON result contains `situation`, `recommended`, `summary`, `signals`, and ordered `actions[]`. Detection reads `.planning/STATE.md`, `ROADMAP.md`, latest verification/summary artifacts, and git status; it does not write files or dispatch commands.
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
## Phase Commands
|
||
|
||
Manage phases — directories, numbering, and roadmap sync.
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
# Find phase directory by number
|
||
node gsd-tools.cjs find-phase <phase>
|
||
|
||
# Calculate next decimal phase number for insertions
|
||
node gsd-tools.cjs phase next-decimal <phase>
|
||
|
||
# Append new phase to roadmap + create directory
|
||
node gsd-tools.cjs phase add <description>
|
||
|
||
# Insert decimal phase after existing
|
||
node gsd-tools.cjs phase insert <after> <description>
|
||
|
||
# Remove phase, renumber subsequent
|
||
node gsd-tools.cjs phase remove <phase> [--force]
|
||
|
||
# Mark phase complete, update state + roadmap
|
||
# Also emits advisory `warnings[]` when a phase SUMMARY references a file that
|
||
# is not on disk — see "Phase SUMMARY artifact check" below.
|
||
node gsd-tools.cjs phase complete <phase>
|
||
|
||
# Evaluate HUMAN-UAT results for a phase (markdown-aware; ignores false-positive contexts)
|
||
# Returns JSON: { passed, uat_files[], verification_files[], checks[], blockers[], policy }
|
||
node gsd-tools.cjs phase uat-passed <phase> [--require-verification]
|
||
|
||
# Index plans with waves and status
|
||
node gsd-tools.cjs phase-plan-index <phase>
|
||
|
||
# List phases with filtering
|
||
node gsd-tools.cjs phases list [--type planned|executed|all] [--phase N] [--include-archived]
|
||
|
||
# Archive (or, with --force, permanently delete) every current phase directory —
|
||
# used by /gsd-new-milestone before roadmapping the next cycle
|
||
node gsd-tools.cjs phases clear [--confirm] [--force] [--archive-version <version>]
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### Milestone-scoped phase listing (`phases list`)
|
||
|
||
The bare `phases list` (no `--phase`, no `--include-archived`) is scoped to the
|
||
current milestone's `ROADMAP.md` window **and** filtered through the canonical
|
||
sentinel predicate: `999.*` backlog directories and `0-*` pre-milestone
|
||
directories are not listed as current-milestone phases. `--phase <N>` (a direct
|
||
lookup) and `--include-archived` (an archive listing) are deliberately **not**
|
||
scoped or sentinel-filtered — they answer "does this phase exist" and "what has
|
||
ever existed here," not "what belongs to this milestone," so they still see
|
||
sentinel and out-of-window directories.
|
||
|
||
### `phases clear` and sentinel directories
|
||
|
||
`phases clear` moves (or, with `--force` and no prior archive, permanently
|
||
deletes) every phase directory under `.planning/phases/` except sentinels. It
|
||
now excludes both `999.*` (backlog) and `0-*` (pre-milestone) directories via
|
||
the same canonical sentinel predicate `phases list` uses — previously its own
|
||
regex excluded `999` but not `0`, so a `0-*` directory could be destroyed on
|
||
this irreversible path.
|
||
|
||
### `find-phase` plan/summary counts (live vs physical)
|
||
|
||
`find-phase`'s JSON carries the existing `plans[]` / `summaries[]` arrays
|
||
**unchanged**, plus three additive scalar fields:
|
||
|
||
| Field | Set | Answers |
|
||
|---|---|---|
|
||
| `plan_count` | live — `status: superseded` plans excluded | "how much outstanding work is left in this phase?" (same set as `plans[]`) |
|
||
| `summary_count` | live | same, for `summaries[]` |
|
||
| `plan_count_all` | physical — every canonically-named plan file on disk, superseded included | "what has the planner actually written to disk?" |
|
||
|
||
Naming mirrors `roadmap analyze`'s existing `plan_count`/`summary_count`, and the
|
||
`_all` suffix echoes the underlying `scanPhasePlans` field it is drawn from.
|
||
**Pick by the question you're asking, not by which number looks bigger:** a
|
||
phase where every plan is `status: superseded` correctly reports `plan_count: 0`
|
||
— that is a real "nothing outstanding" answer, not a bug — while
|
||
`plan_count_all` still reports the physical count, so a check for "did the
|
||
planner produce anything at all" doesn't misread a fully-superseded phase as
|
||
untouched.
|
||
|
||
When the phase can't be resolved, all three fields are `null`, not `0` — a
|
||
fabricated `0` would read identically to a genuinely empty phase.
|
||
|
||
### Phase SUMMARY artifact check
|
||
|
||
A phase `SUMMARY.md` asserts which files the phase created or modified. On
|
||
`phase complete`, each SUMMARY in the phase is scanned for referenced file paths
|
||
and any path that is not on disk is reported in the command's existing
|
||
`warnings[]` array — the case where a summary reports work that never landed.
|
||
|
||
**Advisory only.** Findings never block completion; the completion gate is the
|
||
phase's `VERIFICATION.md` status, which this does not touch. `/gsd-execute-phase`
|
||
surfaces the warnings before advancing.
|
||
|
||
Scope and limits, so the output is not read as more than it is:
|
||
|
||
- Paths are recovered heuristically from the SUMMARY body — backticked paths and
|
||
`Created:`/`Modified:`-style lines. Globs, URLs, bare hostnames, and paths
|
||
resolving outside the project are skipped rather than reported.
|
||
- The `key-files:` frontmatter block is **not** read. Its YAML flow-sequence form
|
||
(`created: [a.ts, b.ts]`) is not matched by the prose scan, so a summary whose
|
||
only file claims live there produces no findings.
|
||
- Commit hashes in the SUMMARY are **not** resolved here. The pattern matches any
|
||
hex-shaped token in prose, which is too loose to surface.
|
||
|
||
Every path the scan does recover is checked — there is no cap. The standalone
|
||
`verify-summary` verb keeps its historical default of checking the first two.
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
## Roadmap Commands
|
||
|
||
Parse and update `ROADMAP.md`.
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
# Extract phase section from ROADMAP.md
|
||
node gsd-tools.cjs roadmap get-phase <phase>
|
||
|
||
# Full roadmap parse with disk status
|
||
node gsd-tools.cjs roadmap analyze
|
||
|
||
# Update progress table row from disk
|
||
node gsd-tools.cjs roadmap update-plan-progress <N>
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### Milestone window scope (`roadmap analyze`)
|
||
|
||
`roadmap analyze` scopes its phase list to the current milestone's section of
|
||
`ROADMAP.md`. Its JSON output carries a `scope` field describing how much of the
|
||
intended input that scoping actually saw:
|
||
|
||
| `scope` | Meaning |
|
||
|---|---|
|
||
| `complete` | The window was computed over the whole intended input. `phase_count: 0` here is a **real** answer — a freshly-declared milestone genuinely has no phases yet. |
|
||
| `truncated` | The milestone's heading was found, but its window closed before reaching the document's phase region — typically because a closed-milestone heading sits between the active milestone and its `### Phase N:` sections. `phase_count: 0` here is a **non**-answer. |
|
||
| `unscoped` | No milestone version could be resolved (or its section is absent) on a ROADMAP that does use versioned milestones, so the result is not milestone-scoped. |
|
||
| `unreadable` | `ROADMAP.md` could not be read. |
|
||
|
||
Before this field existed, all four cases produced the same well-formed
|
||
`phase_count: 0` with no error, so a consumer could not tell a genuinely empty
|
||
milestone from a scoping failure. Branch on `scope`, not on `phase_count` alone.
|
||
|
||
A ROADMAP with no versioned milestone headings at all (the free-form legacy
|
||
shape) reports `complete`: the whole document *is* the milestone there. Note
|
||
this answer is specific to *windowing* — see the next section for why milestone
|
||
*identity* answers the same document differently.
|
||
|
||
### A non-`COMPLETE` scope withholds the percentage entirely (#3217)
|
||
|
||
`roadmap analyze --json`'s `progress_percent`, `stats --raw`'s `percent` /
|
||
`plan_percent`, `query progress --raw`'s `percent`, and `state json --raw`'s
|
||
`progress.percent` are now **nullable** — a Tier-2 contract change. When the
|
||
phase set a percentage would be computed from is not fully trustworthy (any
|
||
scope other than `complete`), these surfaces render **no percentage at all**
|
||
rather than a number computed from a truncated, unscoped, or unreadable set:
|
||
|
||
| Surface | Non-`complete` behavior |
|
||
|---|---|
|
||
| `roadmap analyze --json` | `progress_percent: null` |
|
||
| `stats --raw` | `percent: null`, `plan_percent: null` |
|
||
| `query progress --raw` | `percent: null` |
|
||
| `state json --raw` | `progress.percent` is **omitted** from the `progress` object (not `0`, not present as `null`) |
|
||
| `state update-progress --raw` | `false` — no write; `STATE.md`'s Progress field is left untouched, and a `[gsd-tools] WARNING:` line is written to stderr naming the scope |
|
||
|
||
`0` is a legitimate, real answer under a `complete` scope (e.g. a
|
||
freshly-declared milestone with zero phases, or a phase with zero plan files)
|
||
and is never withheld — only a non-`complete` scope withholds.
|
||
|
||
`roadmap analyze --json` gates `total_plans` / `total_summaries` / `phases` /
|
||
`completed_phases` on the top-level `scope` field described above (heading
|
||
windowing identity), but `progress_percent` is governed by a **separate**
|
||
`progress_scope` field — the scope of the phase-directory set the percentage
|
||
was actually computed from. The two can legitimately disagree (e.g.
|
||
`scope: "complete"` — the ROADMAP heading resolves fine — alongside
|
||
`progress_scope: "unreadable"` when `.planning/phases` itself cannot be read),
|
||
so a consumer must branch on `progress_scope`, not `scope`, to know why
|
||
`progress_percent` is `null`.
|
||
|
||
### Milestone identity (which milestone, and what it is called)
|
||
|
||
Milestone identity — the version and name behind `STATE.md`'s `milestone:`
|
||
field, `roadmap analyze`'s `milestones[]` array, and the milestone shown by
|
||
`query progress`, `stats`, `init manager`, `validate health` and
|
||
`workstream create` — is resolved by one implementation:
|
||
|
||
- `STATE.md`'s `milestone:` field selects the version when present. The ROADMAP
|
||
heuristics are the fallback, not the primary.
|
||
- The heading is located by the same canonical locator that computes the
|
||
milestone window, so a `### Phase N: …` heading is **never** read as the
|
||
milestone heading — even when it mentions a version. Previously a ROADMAP
|
||
whose phase heading preceded its milestone heading could write a wrong
|
||
`milestone:` to disk.
|
||
- The **name** is the heading text after that heading's own version token, with
|
||
one leading delimiter (`—`, `–`, `:`, `-`) and any trailing `✅`/`📋`/`🚧`
|
||
marker removed. Parentheses are ordinary characters: a milestone named
|
||
`v3.3 — Portability (Windows)` keeps its full name rather than being cut at
|
||
the `(`.
|
||
- When identity **cannot** be determined it is reported as absent rather than
|
||
defaulted. A free-form legacy ROADMAP with no version anywhere is `unscoped`
|
||
with no identity — unlike windowing above, there is no version token to
|
||
report, and inventing one would be indistinguishable from a real answer.
|
||
|
||
Two consumers act on that distinction rather than just displaying it:
|
||
`state sync` / `state record-session` write `null` instead of a fabricated
|
||
`milestone:`/name, and `phases clear` falls back to its dated archive label
|
||
(`archived-<YYYYMMDD>`) instead of filing phase history under a fabricated
|
||
`milestones/<version>-phases/` directory.
|
||
|
||
### `milestone complete` refuses an untrustworthy window
|
||
|
||
`milestone complete` archives `ROADMAP.md`/`REQUIREMENTS.md` and **moves phase
|
||
directories** — a one-way door. When the milestone window's `scope` is
|
||
`truncated` — the milestone heading was found but its section closes before
|
||
reaching any phase entries, even though the ROADMAP has phase entries
|
||
elsewhere — phase scoping cannot be trusted, and the command now refuses
|
||
rather than falling back to an over-inclusive filter that would archive every
|
||
phase directory in the project. `unreadable` (no ROADMAP.md at all) and
|
||
`unscoped` (no section for this version) are pre-existing, legitimately
|
||
handled states and are not refused here. Pass `--force` to override, the same
|
||
affordance the unstarted-phase guard uses.
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
## Config Commands
|
||
|
||
Read and write `.planning/config.json`.
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
# Initialize config.json with defaults
|
||
node gsd-tools.cjs config-ensure-section
|
||
|
||
# Set a config value (dot notation)
|
||
node gsd-tools.cjs config-set <key> <value>
|
||
|
||
# Get a config value
|
||
node gsd-tools.cjs config-get <key>
|
||
|
||
# Set model profile
|
||
node gsd-tools.cjs config-set-model-profile <profile>
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
## Capability Commands
|
||
|
||
The capability command family resolves and mutates capability state (ADR-857). One resolved state composes three substrates: the install profile (`.gsd-profile`), the runtime surface (`.gsd-surface.json`), and config gates (`.planning/config.json` `workflow.*`). `enabled = installed && surfaced`; a hook is `active` only when its capability is enabled and its config gate is on.
|
||
|
||
### `capability state`
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
node gsd-tools.cjs capability state [--config-dir <path>] [--raw]
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Resolves and prints every capability's `installed`, `surfaced`, `enabled`, and per-hook `active` state. Read-only. `--config-dir` selects the runtime config directory (defaults to the resolved Claude home). `--raw` emits JSON.
|
||
|
||
### `capability set`
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
node gsd-tools.cjs capability set <id> [--on | --off] [--gate <key>=<true|false>]... [--config-dir <path>] [--runtime <name>] [--scope <global|project>] [--raw]
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Mutates one capability, re-resolves, and reports the result. Two axes:
|
||
|
||
- `--on` / `--off` (aliases `--enable` / `--disable`): the capability on/off switch, applied through the runtime surface. `--off` unsurfaces the capability; the change is reversible and reclaims the surface budget. A capability that owns no skills has no surface footprint — use `--gate` for those.
|
||
- `--gate <key>=<true|false>` (repeatable): toggles one of the capability's own config keys (a hook gate) within an enabled capability.
|
||
- `--runtime` / `--scope`: materialise the surface change for that runtime's artifact layout.
|
||
|
||
After writing, the command re-resolves and prints two message classes to stderr: errors (non-zero exit) — unknown capability id, a `--gate` key the capability does not own, a non-boolean gate value, or `--on` for a capability whose skills are not in the install profile; warnings (exit 0) — `--on`/`--off` on a skill-less capability, or a capability left surfaced while every hook is gated off ("present but dead"). Exit status is non-zero only when a requested change could not be applied.
|
||
|
||
**Examples:**
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
# Turn the UI capability off
|
||
node gsd-tools.cjs capability set ui --off --config-dir ~/.claude
|
||
|
||
# Keep the capability on, gate one hook off
|
||
node gsd-tools.cjs capability set code-review --gate workflow.code_review=false
|
||
```
|
||
|
||

|
||
|
||
## Teams Status
|
||
|
||
### `query teams-status`
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
node gsd-tools.cjs query teams-status [--active]
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Read-only detector for claude-code's experimental agent-teams feature (issue #1355). Resolves the runtime via the canonical `GSD_RUNTIME` → `config.runtime` → `'claude'` precedence, then checks `CLAUDE_CODE_EXPERIMENTAL_AGENT_TEAMS`.
|
||
|
||
**Default (no flags):** prints a JSON object and exits 0:
|
||
|
||
```json
|
||
{
|
||
"active": false,
|
||
"runtime": "claude",
|
||
"env_present": false,
|
||
"source": "off: flag absent"
|
||
}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Fields:
|
||
|
||
| Field | Type | Description |
|
||
|---|---|---|
|
||
| `active` | boolean | `true` only when `CLAUDE_CODE_EXPERIMENTAL_AGENT_TEAMS` is strictly truthy (`"1"` or `"true"`, case-insensitive) **and** the resolved runtime is `"claude"` |
|
||
| `runtime` | string | The resolved runtime name (e.g. `"claude"`, `"codex"`) |
|
||
| `env_present` | boolean | `true` when the env flag is set to a strictly-truthy value |
|
||
| `source` | string | One of: `"on: env"`, `"off: flag absent"`, `"off: non-claude"` |
|
||
|
||
**`--active` flag:** exits 0 if `active` is true, exits 1 otherwise. Prints nothing. Useful in bash conditionals:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
if gsd_run query teams-status --active >/dev/null 2>&1; then
|
||
echo "agent-teams is on"
|
||
fi
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
This command is strictly read-only — no config writes, no disk mutation.

### `query eval.score`
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
node gsd-tools.cjs query eval.score --covered <N> --total <N> --infra <tooling>,<dataset>,<cicd>,<guardrails>,<tracing>
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Deterministic scorer for eval-auditor results. Computes coverage, infrastructure, and overall scores from audited inputs. Called by `gsd-eval-auditor` in its `calculate_scores` step — agents must not recompute these values by hand.
|
||
|
||
**Inputs:**
|
||
|
||
| Flag | Type | Description |
|
||
|---|---|---|
|
||
| `--covered` | integer | Number of eval dimensions scored COVERED |
|
||
| `--total` | integer | Total planned eval dimensions |
|
||
| `--infra` | string | Comma-separated list of 5 infra component statuses (order: tooling, dataset, cicd, guardrails, tracing); each value is `ok`, `partial`, or `missing` |
|
||
|
||
**Output JSON:**
|
||
|
||
| Field | Type | Description |
|
||
|---|---|---|
|
||
| `coverage_score` | number | `covered / total × 100` |
|
||
| `infra_score` | number | `(sum of component weights) / 5 × 100` (`ok`=1, `partial`=0.5, `missing`=0) |
|
||
| `overall_score` | number | `(coverage_score × 0.6) + (infra_score × 0.4)` |
|
||
| `verdict` | string | `PRODUCTION READY` (80–100) / `NEEDS WORK` (60–<80) / `SIGNIFICANT GAPS` (40–<60) / `NOT IMPLEMENTED` (0–<40) |
|
||
|
||
**Example:**
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
node gsd-tools.cjs query eval.score --covered 3 --total 5 --infra ok,partial,missing,ok,ok
|
||
# → {"coverage_score":60,"infra_score":70,"overall_score":64,"verdict":"NEEDS WORK"}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
This command is strictly read-only — no config writes, no disk mutation.

|
||
|
||
### `query context-predicates`
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
node gsd-tools.cjs query context-predicates --class <CLASS> | --prefix <dotted.prefix> | --contains <text>
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Selector surface for the `CONTEXT.md` predicate fact-store (ADR-1671, #2928). Parses the repo-root `CONTEXT.md` **live** on every call via the compiled `context-predicates.cjs` — it never reads the committed `docs/CONTEXT-INDEX.json` (that artifact is a CI drift-guard byproduct, not a query source, so it can never go stale relative to the live predicates it answers about).
|
||
|
||
**Selectors** (at least one required; when more than one is given they are ANDed together):
|
||
|
||
| Flag | Type | Description |
|
||
|---|---|---|
|
||
| `--class <CLASS>` | string | Exact match on the predicate's class (the segment before the first `.`) |
|
||
| `--prefix <dotted.prefix>` | string | Match predicate ids starting with this dotted prefix |
|
||
| `--contains <text>` | string | Case-insensitive substring match against `id + ' ' + value` |
|
||
|
||
Each flag also accepts the inline-assignment form (`--contains=<text>`), which is the escape
|
||
hatch for a flag-shaped value the space-separated form cannot express — e.g.
|
||
`--contains=--dry-run` to search for the literal substring `--dry-run`. The space-separated form
|
||
(`--contains --dry-run`) always reads a following `--...` token as a missing value, by design.
|
||
|
||
**Output JSON:**
|
||
|
||
```json
|
||
{
|
||
"matched": 2,
|
||
"predicates": [
|
||
{ "id": "RULESET.EXAMPLE", "klass": "RULESET", "value": "…", "line": 42, "section": "Glossary" }
|
||
]
|
||
}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
| Field | Type | Description |
|
||
|---|---|---|
|
||
| `matched` | number | Count of predicates satisfying all given selectors |
|
||
| `predicates` | array | Each entry is a live `Predicate` — `id`, `klass`, `value`, `line` (1-based source line), `section` (nearest enclosing heading) |
|
||
|
||
This command is strictly read-only — no config writes, no disk mutation. See [ADR-1671](adr/1671-dynamic-context-management-platform.md) and [Architecture — CLI Tools](ARCHITECTURE.md#cli-tools-gsd-corebin).

|
||
|
||
## Model Resolution
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
# Get model for agent based on current profile
|
||
node gsd-tools.cjs resolve-model <agent-name>
|
||
# Raw output returns the selected model ID/tier.
|
||
# JSON output also includes profile and, when the active runtime supports it,
|
||
# reasoning_effort.
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Agent names: `gsd-planner`, `gsd-executor`, `gsd-phase-researcher`, `gsd-project-researcher`, `gsd-research-synthesizer`, `gsd-verifier`, `gsd-plan-checker`, `gsd-integration-checker`, `gsd-roadmapper`, `gsd-debugger`, `gsd-codebase-mapper`, `gsd-nyquist-auditor`
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
## Verification Commands
|
||
|
||
Validate plans, phases, references, and commits.
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
# Verify SUMMARY.md file
|
||
node gsd-tools.cjs verify-summary <path> [--check-count N]
|
||
|
||
# Check PLAN.md structure + tasks
|
||
node gsd-tools.cjs verify plan-structure <file>
|
||
|
||
# Check all plans have summaries
|
||
node gsd-tools.cjs verify phase-completeness <phase>
|
||
|
||
# Check @-refs + paths resolve
|
||
node gsd-tools.cjs verify references <file>
|
||
|
||
# Batch verify commit hashes
|
||
node gsd-tools.cjs verify commits <hash1> [hash2] ...
|
||
|
||
# Check must_haves.artifacts
|
||
node gsd-tools.cjs verify artifacts <plan-file>
|
||
|
||
# Check must_haves.key_links
|
||
node gsd-tools.cjs verify key-links <plan-file>
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
## Validation Commands
|
||
|
||
Check project integrity.
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
# Check phase numbering, disk/roadmap sync
|
||
node gsd-tools.cjs validate consistency
|
||
|
||
# Check .planning/ integrity, optionally repair
|
||
node gsd-tools.cjs validate health [--repair]
|
||
|
||
# Probe context-window utilization for status-line / hook callers (v1.40.0)
|
||
node gsd-tools.cjs validate context
|
||
|
||
# Context utilization as typed JSON surface (#455)
|
||
node gsd-tools.cjs validate context --json
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
`validate context` emits a structured envelope with `utilization`, `status`
|
||
(`ok` / `warn` / `critical` at the 60 % / 70 % thresholds), and a
|
||
`suggestion` string. The same data backs `/gsd-health --context`.
|
||
Pass `--json` to receive the typed IR directly (useful in scripts and test assertions).
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
## Template Commands
|
||
|
||
Template selection and filling.
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
# Select summary template based on granularity
|
||
node gsd-tools.cjs template select <type>
|
||
|
||
# Fill template with variables
|
||
node gsd-tools.cjs template fill <type> --phase N [--plan M] [--name "..."] [--type execute|tdd] [--wave N] [--fields '{json}']
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Template types for `fill`: `summary`, `plan`, `verification`
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
## Frontmatter Commands
|
||
|
||
YAML frontmatter CRUD operations on any Markdown file.
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
# Extract frontmatter as JSON
|
||
node gsd-tools.cjs frontmatter get <file> [--field key]
|
||
|
||
# Update single field
|
||
node gsd-tools.cjs frontmatter set <file> --field key --value jsonVal
|
||
|
||
# Merge JSON into frontmatter
|
||
node gsd-tools.cjs frontmatter merge <file> --data '{json}'
|
||
|
||
# Validate required fields
|
||
node gsd-tools.cjs frontmatter validate <file> --schema plan|summary|verification
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
## Scaffold Commands
|
||
|
||
Create pre-structured files and directories.
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
# Create CONTEXT.md template
|
||
node gsd-tools.cjs scaffold context --phase N
|
||
|
||
# Create UAT.md template
|
||
node gsd-tools.cjs scaffold uat --phase N
|
||
|
||
# Create VERIFICATION.md template
|
||
node gsd-tools.cjs scaffold verification --phase N
|
||
|
||
# Create phase directory
|
||
node gsd-tools.cjs scaffold phase-dir --phase N --name "phase name"
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
## Init Commands (Compound Context Loading)
|
||
|
||
Load all context needed for a specific workflow in one call. Returns JSON with project info, config, state, and workflow-specific data. `init onboard [--fast] [--text]` reports brownfield signals, planning-doc candidates, codebase-map completeness, fast-map readiness, text-mode routing, partial planning state, and onboarding summary status for `/gsd-onboard`.
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
node gsd-tools.cjs init execute-phase <phase>
|
||
node gsd-tools.cjs init plan-phase <phase>
|
||
node gsd-tools.cjs init new-project
|
||
node gsd-tools.cjs init new-milestone
|
||
node gsd-tools.cjs init onboard [--fast] [--text]
|
||
node gsd-tools.cjs init quick <description>
|
||
node gsd-tools.cjs init resume
|
||
node gsd-tools.cjs init verify-work <phase>
|
||
node gsd-tools.cjs init phase-op <phase>
|
||
node gsd-tools.cjs init code-review <phase> [--fix]
|
||
node gsd-tools.cjs init review <phase>
|
||
node gsd-tools.cjs init discuss-phase-assumptions <phase> [--auto]
|
||
node gsd-tools.cjs init todos [area]
|
||
node gsd-tools.cjs init milestone-op
|
||
node gsd-tools.cjs init map-codebase
|
||
node gsd-tools.cjs init progress
|
||
node gsd-tools.cjs init manager
|
||
node gsd-tools.cjs init complete-milestone
|
||
node gsd-tools.cjs init autonomous [--converge] [--cross-ai]
|
||
node gsd-tools.cjs init docs-update
|
||
node gsd-tools.cjs init update [--next] [--rc]
|
||
node gsd-tools.cjs init transition
|
||
|
||
# Workstream-scoped init (`--ws` flag)
|
||
node gsd-tools.cjs init execute-phase <phase> --ws <name>
|
||
node gsd-tools.cjs init plan-phase <phase> --ws <name>
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
**Large payload handling:** When output exceeds ~50KB, the CLI writes to a temp file and returns `@file:/tmp/gsd-init-XXXXX.json`. Workflows check for the `@file:` prefix and read from disk:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
INIT=$(node gsd-tools.cjs init execute-phase "1")
|
||
if [[ "$INIT" == @file:* ]]; then INIT=$(cat "${INIT#@file:}"); fi
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
## Milestone Commands
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
# Archive milestone
|
||
node gsd-tools.cjs milestone complete <version> [--name <name>] [--no-archive-phases] [--force] [--dry-run]
|
||
|
||
# Mark requirements as complete
|
||
node gsd-tools.cjs requirements mark-complete <ids>
|
||
# Accepts: REQ-01,REQ-02 or REQ-01 REQ-02 or [REQ-01, REQ-02]
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
**`milestone complete` flags**
|
||
|
||
| Flag | Description |
|
||
|------|-------------|
|
||
| `<version>` | Milestone version label to archive (e.g. `v1.0`). |
|
||
| `--name <name>` | Display name for the MILESTONES.md entry. Defaults to `<version>`. |
|
||
| `--no-archive-phases` | Leave phase directories in place instead of moving them into `.planning/milestones/<version>-phases/`. |
|
||
| `--force` | Override the unstarted-phase guard (see below). |
|
||
| `--dry-run` | Print the archive plan (roadmap, requirements, phases to move) without mutating anything. |
|
||
|
||
**Unstarted-phase guard.** Before archiving, the command scans the ROADMAP scoped for `<version>` and refuses if any `### Phase N:` heading in that slice has no matching phase directory on disk (`disk_status: no_directory`). Phase 0 (pre-milestone) and Phase 999 (backlog) sentinels are excluded. The guard runs whenever `--force` is absent, independent of `STATE.md`'s `milestone:` field — if that field is present but does not match `<version>`, a WARNING naming both values is emitted to stderr and the scan still runs (#2946). Pass `--force` to override.
|
||
|
||
**Sentinel directories are never archived.** The phase-directory move performed when `--no-archive-phases` is absent is now filtered through the same canonical sentinel predicate as `phases list` and `phases clear`: `999.*` (backlog) and `0-*` (pre-milestone) directories are left in place rather than moved into `.planning/milestones/<version>-phases/`. Previously this path was scoped only by the milestone window, with no sentinel filter, so a sentinel directory sitting inside the window could be archived along with the milestone's real phases.
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
## Agent Skills
|
||
|
||
Emit the skill block for a given agent type.
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
# Emit raw XML skill block (default — safe for shell expansion)
|
||
node gsd-tools.cjs agent-skills <agent-type>
|
||
|
||
# Emit typed JSON surface (#455) — { agent_type, block, skills_count, warnings, configured, reason, source, degraded }
|
||
node gsd-tools.cjs agent-skills <agent-type> --json
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
The `--json` flag returns a typed IR object suitable for structured consumption and test assertions, while the default (no flag) preserves the raw XML output that workflow shell expansions rely on.
|
||
|
||
**`--json` field reference** (as of #1415, Resolution Provenance P2):
|
||
|
||
| Field | Type | Description |
|
||
|---|---|---|
|
||
| `agent_type` | `string` | The agent type that was queried. |
|
||
| `block` | `string` | The `<agent_skills>` XML block, or `""` when empty. |
|
||
| `skills_count` | `number` | Number of skill paths configured for this agent type. |
|
||
| `warnings` | `string[]` | Per-path warnings for skills that were skipped (missing `SKILL.md`, unsafe path, etc.). Empty when all configured paths resolved. |
|
||
| `configured` | `boolean` | `true` when the agent type appears in `agent_skills` in the config; `false` when the key is absent entirely. |
|
||
| `reason` | `string` | Resolution reason: `"resolved"` (block non-empty), `"not_configured"` (agent not in `agent_skills` — silent), `"configured_empty"` (configured but paths list is empty — emits stderr WARNING), `"configured_unresolved"` (configured with paths but all failed to resolve — emits stderr WARNING). |
|
||
| `source` | `string` | Config provenance: `"root"` (`.planning/config.json`), `"workstream"` (workstream-scoped config), `"global-defaults"` (`~/.gsd/defaults.json`), `"builtin-defaults"` (no project config). |
|
||
| `degraded` | `boolean` | `true` when a workstream was requested but its config.json was absent and the command fell back to root config; `false` otherwise. |
|
||
|
||
The command anchors to the project root via `findProjectRoot` before loading config, so invoking it from a descendant subdirectory resolves the same config as the project root.
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
## Skill Manifest
|
||
|
||
Pre-compute and cache skill discovery for faster command loading.
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
# Generate skill manifest (writes to .claude/skill-manifest.json)
|
||
node gsd-tools.cjs skill-manifest
|
||
|
||
# Generate with custom output path
|
||
node gsd-tools.cjs skill-manifest --output <path>
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Returns JSON mapping of all available GSD skills with their metadata (name, description, file path, argument hints). Used by the installer and session-start hooks to avoid repeated filesystem scans.
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
## Utility Commands
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
# Convert text to URL-safe slug
|
||
node gsd-tools.cjs generate-slug "Some Text Here"
|
||
# → some-text-here
|
||
|
||
# Get timestamp
|
||
node gsd-tools.cjs current-timestamp [full|date|filename]
|
||
|
||
# Count and list pending todos
|
||
node gsd-tools.cjs list-todos [area]
|
||
|
||
# List captured seeds (optionally filter by status: dormant|active|triggered)
|
||
node gsd-tools.cjs list-seeds [status]
|
||
|
||
# Check file/directory existence
|
||
node gsd-tools.cjs verify-path-exists <path>
|
||
|
||
# Append a row to STATE.md's "Quick Tasks Completed" table (schema-backed; #2133)
|
||
node gsd-tools.cjs quick-tasks-append --task "<description>"
|
||
|
||
# Aggregate all SUMMARY.md data
|
||
node gsd-tools.cjs history-digest
|
||
|
||
# Extract structured data from SUMMARY.md
|
||
node gsd-tools.cjs summary-extract <path> [--fields field1,field2]
|
||
|
||
# Project statistics
|
||
node gsd-tools.cjs stats [json|table]
|
||
|
||
# Progress rendering (human-readable)
|
||
node gsd-tools.cjs progress [json|table|bar]
|
||
|
||
# Progress as typed JSON surface (#455)
|
||
node gsd-tools.cjs progress --json
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Both `stats` and `progress` are scoped to the current milestone's `ROADMAP.md`
|
||
window and sentinel-filtered: `999.*` backlog directories and `0-*`
|
||
pre-milestone directories are not counted as current-milestone phases, and the
|
||
aggregate completion percentage no longer reads `100` while phases from the
|
||
active window are still outstanding.
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
# Complete a todo
|
||
node gsd-tools.cjs todo complete <filename>
|
||
|
||
# UAT audit — scan all phases for unresolved items
|
||
node gsd-tools.cjs audit-uat
|
||
|
||
# Cross-artifact audit queue — scan `.planning/` for unresolved audit items
|
||
node gsd-tools.cjs audit-open [--json]
|
||
|
||
# Reverse-migrate a GSD-2 project into the current structure (backs `/gsd-import --from-gsd2`)
|
||
node gsd-tools.cjs from-gsd2 [--path <dir>] [--force] [--dry-run]
|
||
|
||
# Git commit with config checks
|
||
node gsd-tools.cjs commit <message> [--files f1 f2] [--amend] [--no-verify] [--respect-staged]
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
> `--no-verify`: Skips pre-commit hooks. Used by parallel executor agents during wave-based execution to avoid build lock contention (e.g., cargo lock fights in Rust projects). The orchestrator runs hooks once after each wave completes. Do not use `--no-verify` during sequential execution — let hooks run normally.
|
||
> `--files <paths>` **staging behaviour**: by default, `--files` runs `git add -- <path>` for each named file before committing. This overwrites any per-hunk staging set up via `git add -p`. Pass `--respect-staged` to skip the `git add` step and commit only what is already in the index within the requested pathspec. If nothing is staged within that scope, the command returns `{ committed: false, reason: 'nothing staged' }` without error. The trailing `-- <paths>` pathspec on the commit is applied under both modes, so files staged outside the `--files` scope are never included (#3061 invariant).
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
# Web search (requires Brave API key)
|
||
node gsd-tools.cjs websearch <query> [--limit N] [--freshness day|week|month]
|
||
```

||
|
||
## Update Backup and Restore
|
||
|
||
The two halves of `/gsd-update`'s user-added-file protection. `detect-custom-files`
|
||
lists files that exist inside GSD-managed directories but are absent from
|
||
`gsd-file-manifest.json` — the update workflow copies those into
|
||
`gsd-user-files-backup/` before the clean-install wipe. `restore-custom-files`
|
||
puts them back afterwards.
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
# List user-added files the installer would destroy (JSON)
|
||
node gsd-tools.cjs detect-custom-files --config-dir <config-dir>
|
||
|
||
# Plan a restore — reports what would be restored, writes nothing
|
||
node gsd-tools.cjs restore-custom-files --config-dir <config-dir>
|
||
|
||
# Restore the eligible entries
|
||
node gsd-tools.cjs restore-custom-files --config-dir <config-dir> --apply
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
`restore-custom-files` emits one entry per backed-up file:
|
||
|
||
| Field | Meaning |
|
||
|---|---|
|
||
| `path` | Path relative to the config dir — where the file came from and goes back to |
|
||
| `outcome` | `eligible` (plan mode) · `restored` · `skipped_destination_managed` · `skipped_destination_exists` · `skipped_copy_failed` · `skipped_unsafe_path` |
|
||
| `warnings` | Advisory `{code, detail}` findings from the compatibility pass; never blocks a restore |

Warning codes: `destination_managed`, `destination_exists`,

`missing_referenced_path`, `missing_referenced_command`,
|
||
`frontmatter_missing_field`, `write_failed`.
|
||
|
||
The compatibility pass runs against the **newly installed** release, so it
|
||
catches a backed-up skill that `@`-references a workflow the new version
|
||
retired, invokes a `/gsd:` command that no longer exists, or is missing the
|
||
`name` / `description` frontmatter its runtime needs.
|
||
|
||
Three things the restore never does: it never deletes the backup, it never
|
||
overwrites a path the new release ships (`skipped_destination_managed`), and it
|
||
never overwrites a different file already on disk
|
||
(`skipped_destination_exists`). Symlinked backup entries are skipped outright
|
||
rather than followed (`skipped_unsafe_path`). A single unwritable entry is
|
||
reported and the remaining entries still restore.

## Worktree Commands
|
||
|
||
Diagnose and configure the worktree fork base used by Claude Code's `isolation="worktree"` executor dispatch. These commands address the branch-divergence condition described in [Fix the worktree base-mismatch (exit 42) error](how-to/fix-worktree-base-mismatch.md).
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
# Check whether the current HEAD has diverged from the worktree fork base.
|
||
# Returns JSON: { shouldDegrade, reason, message, headSha, forkRef, forkSha }
|
||
node gsd-tools.cjs worktree base-check
|
||
|
||
# Write worktree.baseRef:"head" into .claude/settings.local.json (no-clobber).
|
||
# Returns JSON: { changed, skipped, previous, baseRef, file }
|
||
node gsd-tools.cjs worktree set-baseref
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
**`worktree base-check`** reads `worktree.baseRef` from a three-layer cascade — `.claude/settings.local.json`, then `.claude/settings.json`, then the user/global `settings.json` under `CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR` (or `~/.claude`) — and compares the current `HEAD` SHA against `origin/HEAD`. Project-level settings take precedence over the user/global layer, so a machine-wide `worktree.baseRef:"head"` set via `/config` is honored when no project override exists. The `shouldDegrade` field is `true` when the execute-phase orchestrator will fall back to sequential execution. Possible `reason` values:
|
||
|
||
| `reason` | `shouldDegrade` | Meaning |
|
||
|---|---|---|
|
||
| `baseref-head` | `false` | `worktree.baseRef:"head"` is set; no mismatch possible |
|
||
| `head-matches-fork` | `false` | HEAD and `origin/HEAD` are the same commit |
|
||
| `head-diverged-from-fork` | `true` | Branch is ahead of or diverged from `origin/HEAD` |
|
||
| `fork-ref-unknown` | `true` | `origin/HEAD` could not be resolved |
|
||
| `no-head` | `false` | Not in a git repo (no `HEAD`) — `git rev-parse HEAD` exited 128 (definitive), or exited 0 with empty stdout |
|
||
| `head-unresolvable` | `true` | `git rev-parse HEAD` did not return a definitive answer (timed out, `git` missing, or any other non-128 failure) — fails closed rather than being treated as `no-head` |
|
||
|
||
**`worktree set-baseref`** applies a no-clobber write of `worktree.baseRef:"head"` to `.claude/settings.local.json`. If the file already contains an explicit `baseRef` value other than `"head"`, the existing value is preserved and `skipped:"explicit-other"` is returned. Malformed JSON causes an error rather than a silent overwrite. Both fresh installs and upgrades of GSD Core run this automatically when `workflow.use_worktrees` is enabled (the default); the command is also available for manual use — for example, to apply the setting when worktrees were toggled on after installation, or to re-apply it after a settings change.
|
||
|
||
### Worktree creation
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
# Create an agent worktree and atomically record it in the wave cleanup manifest.
|
||
# Returns JSON: { ok, reason, entry, manifest_path } (exit 0), or
|
||
# { ok:false, reason, hint } with a non-zero exit on a rejected/failed create.
|
||
node gsd-tools.cjs worktree create \
|
||
--manifest <path> --agent-id <id> --path <worktree> --branch <branch> --base <sha> --root <dir> \
|
||
[--files "<space-separated declared paths>"]
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
**`worktree create`** validates and records the manifest entry BEFORE running any git command, then runs `git worktree add` for the validated `{path, branch, base}`, and only on success finalizes the manifest write — a rejected entry or a failed `git worktree add` never leaves a partially-recorded manifest or an unmanifested worktree on disk. `--root` is **mandatory** (#3050): the fail-closed root-confinement check resolves `--path` and `--root` and rejects (`reason:"path_outside_root"`) unless `--path` resolves strictly inside `--root` — this closes a prior gap where an unconfined `--path` (no `--root` check at all) could point a spawned executor's worktree anywhere on the filesystem. Omitting `--root` fails closed with `reason:"root_required"` rather than silently skipping confinement. All other flags share `worktree record-agent`'s validation rules above (`--branch` namespace, non-empty/non-whitespace `--path`/`--branch`/`--base`, `--agent-id` required). It also accepts the same optional `--files` as `record-agent` (#2596).
|
||
|
||
### Wave-manifest recording
|
||
|
||
The execute-phase orchestrator records each spawned executor's worktree identity into a wave cleanup manifest so the matching `cleanup-wave` reader can later merge and remove exactly those worktrees.
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
# Append a validated per-agent entry to the wave cleanup manifest.
|
||
# Returns JSON: { ok, reason, entry, manifest_path } (exit 0), or
|
||
# { ok:false, reason, hint } with a non-zero exit on a rejected entry.
|
||
node gsd-tools.cjs worktree record-agent \
|
||
--manifest <path> --agent-id <id> --path <worktree> --branch <branch> --base <sha> \
|
||
[--files "<space-separated declared paths>"]
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
**`worktree record-agent`** appends one `{agent_id, worktree_path, branch, expected_base}` entry to an already-initialized manifest, validating every field **at write time using the same rules the `cleanup-wave` reader enforces** — `--branch` must match the disposable `^(worktree-)?agent-[A-Za-z0-9._/-]+$` namespace (accepts both `agent-<id>` and legacy `worktree-agent-<id>`), and `--path`/`--branch`/`--base` must be non-empty. `--agent-id` is required (write-strict), even though the reader treats it as optional. A missing or garbled field — or a duplicate `(worktree_path, branch)` the reader would dedup away — fails loudly with a recovery hint and a non-zero exit **without** writing, instead of appending an under-populated or silently-dropped entry. Whitespace-only `--path`/`--base` are rejected (values are trimmed). The on-disk manifest shape is unchanged unless `--files` is supplied (see below); the reader still re-derives `allowed_bases`, and the orchestrator still initializes the empty `{orchestrator_root, worktrees: []}` shell inline before any agent is recorded.
|
||
|
||
`--files` is optional (#2596). When supplied it records the plan's declared `files_modified` — the same whitespace-separated `PLAN_FILES` list the per-plan worktree gate already builds — as an extra `files_modified` array on the entry, and `cleanup-wave` then reports any path the branch committed outside it. A blank or omitted `--files` writes no field at all, leaving the 4-field on-disk shape untouched, and the scope check is simply skipped for that entry: an unrecorded scope means *unknown*, never *declares nothing*. Values are compared against a diff, never opened as paths and never passed to a shell.
|
||
|
||
**Scope conformance at merge (advisory, #2596)**
|
||
|
||
When a manifest entry carries a declared `files_modified`, `cleanup-wave` compares the branch's actual committed diff (`HEAD...<branch>`) against it and appends one entry to the result's `warnings` array for every path outside the declared scope, with `code: "scope_out_of_declared"` and the offending `path`. If the diff itself cannot be computed the entry gets a single `code: "scope_check_unavailable"` warning instead, so an unknown result is never mistaken for a clean one. Warnings are also aggregated on the top-level `warnings` array, each tagged with its `branch`.
|
||
|
||
This is advisory: it does not change `ok`, `reason`, the per-entry `status`, or the exit code, and the merge proceeds either way. Promotion to a hard gate would be a separate, disclosed change.
|
||
|
||
Two deliberate limits keep it from crying wolf. `.planning/**/*SUMMARY.md` paths are always exempt — the executor writes a SUMMARY by orchestration contract and no plan declares it. Glob patterns are matched by their literal prefix only, so `src/**/*.ts` covers everything under `src/`, and a pattern with no literal prefix (`*.md`) suppresses warnings for that entry rather than reporting every file.

## Graphify
|
||
|
||
Build, query, and inspect the project knowledge graph in `.planning/graphs/`. Requires `graphify.enabled: true` in `config.json` (see [Configuration Reference](CONFIGURATION.md#graphify-settings)).
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
# Build or rebuild the knowledge graph
|
||
node gsd-tools.cjs graphify build
|
||
|
||
# Search the graph for a term
|
||
node gsd-tools.cjs graphify query <term>
|
||
|
||
# Show graph freshness and statistics
|
||
node gsd-tools.cjs graphify status
|
||
|
||
# Show changes since the last build
|
||
node gsd-tools.cjs graphify diff
|
||
|
||
# Write a named snapshot of the current graph
|
||
node gsd-tools.cjs graphify snapshot [name]
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
User-facing entry point: `/gsd-graphify` (see [Command Reference](COMMANDS.md#gsd-graphify)).

## Reviewer CLI Routing
|
||
|
||
`review.models.<cli>` maps a reviewer flavor to a bare model id injected into the CLI's `--model` (or `-m`) flag by the code-review workflow. Set via [`/gsd-config --integrations`](COMMANDS.md#gsd-config) or directly:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
node gsd-tools.cjs config-set review.models.codex "gpt-5"
|
||
node gsd-tools.cjs config-set review.models.gemini "gemini-2.5-pro"
|
||
node gsd-tools.cjs config-set review.models.opencode "claude-sonnet-4"
|
||
node gsd-tools.cjs config-set review.models.claude "" # clear — fall back to session model
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Slugs are validated against `[a-zA-Z0-9_-]+`; empty or path-containing slugs are rejected. See [`docs/CONFIGURATION.md`](CONFIGURATION.md#code-review-cli-routing) for the full field reference.
|
||
|
||
## Secret Handling
|
||
|
||
API keys configured via `/gsd-settings` (`brave_search`, `firecrawl`, `exa_search`) are written plaintext to `.planning/config.json` but are masked (`****<last-4>`) in every `config-set` / `config-get` output, confirmation table, and interactive prompt. See `gsd-core/bin/lib/secrets.cjs` for the masking implementation. The `config.json` file itself is the security boundary — protect it with filesystem permissions and keep it out of git (`.planning/` is gitignored by default).
