* feat(#2789): trim skill description anti-patterns; enforce 100-char budget

- Trim descriptions in all commands/gsd/*.md files over 100 chars
- Remove flag documentation from descriptions (belongs in argument-hint)
- Remove Triggers: keyword stuffing
- Add scripts/lint-descriptions.cjs — fails on descriptions > 100 chars
- Add npm script: lint:descriptions
- Add tests/enh-2789-description-budget.test.cjs

Closes #2789

Extract implementation decisions that downstream agents need — researcher and planner will use CONTEXT.md to know what to investigate and what choices are locked.

How it works:

  1. Load prior context (PROJECT.md, REQUIREMENTS.md, STATE.md, prior CONTEXT.md files)
  2. Scout codebase for reusable assets and patterns
  3. Analyze phase — skip gray areas already decided in prior phases
  4. Present remaining gray areas — user selects which to discuss
  5. Deep-dive each selected area until satisfied
  6. Create CONTEXT.md with decisions that guide research and planning

Output: {phase_num}-CONTEXT.md — decisions clear enough that downstream agents can act without asking the user again

<execution_context> Workflow files are loaded on-demand in the section below — not upfront. Do not pre-load any workflow files before reading the mode routing instructions. </execution_context>

<runtime_note> Copilot (VS Code): Use vscode_askquestions wherever this workflow calls AskUserQuestion. They are equivalent — vscode_askquestions is the VS Code Copilot implementation of the same interactive question API. </runtime_note>

Phase number: $ARGUMENTS (required)

Context files are resolved in-workflow using init phase-op and roadmap/state tool calls.

**Mode routing:** ```bash DISCUSS_MODE=$(gsd-sdk query config-get workflow.discuss_mode 2>/dev/null || echo "discuss") ```

If DISCUSS_MODE is "assumptions": Read and execute ~/.claude/get-shit-done/workflows/discuss-phase-assumptions.md end-to-end.

If DISCUSS_MODE is "discuss" (or unset, or any other value): Read and execute ~/.claude/get-shit-done/workflows/discuss-phase.md end-to-end.

MANDATORY: Read the appropriate workflow file BEFORE taking any action. The objective and success_criteria sections in this command file are summaries — the workflow file contains the complete step-by-step process with all required behaviors, config checks, and interaction patterns. Do not improvise from the summary.

Lazy loading: templates/context.md is loaded inside the write_context step of the active workflow. discuss-phase-power.md is loaded inside discuss-phase.md when --power is detected. Do not load either here.

<success_criteria>

  • Prior context loaded and applied (no re-asking decided questions)
  • Gray areas identified through intelligent analysis
  • User chose which areas to discuss
  • Each selected area explored until satisfied
  • Scope creep redirected to deferred ideas
  • CONTEXT.md captures decisions, not vague vision
  • User knows next steps </success_criteria>
