Tom Boucher f422a05450 fix(3610): unblock fresh Codex install when leftover bundled hooks present
`npx get-shit-done-cc@latest --codex` aborted with
"installer migration blocked pending user choice" listing 12 hooks/gsd-*
files. Those files are part of the GSD npm distribution
(hooks/gsd-prompt-guard.js, hooks/gsd-context-monitor.js, etc.), not
user-owned content, so asking the user to choose between keep/remove for
them was a UX bug, not a real choice. The installer is about to write
the fresh bundled versions in their place.

Root cause: `classifyPromptUserAction` in
get-shit-done/bin/lib/installer-migration-report.cjs knew two
unambiguous categories (`stale-sdk-build-artifact`, `user-facing-skill`)
but had no rule for the bundled GSD hooks. The first-time-baseline scan
classified them as `stale-gsd-looking` prompt-user blockers, and
`assertInstallerMigrationsUnblocked` threw.

A second gate compounded the bug: the safe-default resolver in
bin/install.js was wrapped in `if (!_migrationIsTty)`, so even with a
correct classification rule, TTY runs (every `npx get-shit-done-cc`
invocation) skipped the resolver and went straight to the hard throw.

Fix:
1) Add `hooks/gsd-<name>.(js|sh|cjs|mjs)` to `classifyPromptUserAction`
   as `bundled-gsd-hook` → `remove`. The regex is anchored at the
   top-level `hooks/` directory so nested paths like
   `hooks/gsd-helpers/index.js` (or any user-owned helper directory) do
   NOT auto-classify.
2) Remove the `!_migrationIsTty` gate from the resolver call in
   bin/install.js. The classifier-based path is unambiguous and must
   apply regardless of TTY; the env-override branch
   (GSD_INSTALLER_MIGRATION_RESOLVE) still applies only when isTty=false
   inside the resolver, preserving the #3541 semantic.

Regression test added
(tests/bug-3610-installer-migration-bundled-hooks-classification.test.cjs):

- Positive: hooks/gsd-*.{js,sh} → category=bundled-gsd-hook, choice=remove.
- Counter-test: hooks/my-custom-hook.js → classifier returns null
  (user files are preserved).
- Boundary: hooks/gsd-helpers/index.js → classifier returns null
  (nested directories don't auto-classify).
- End-to-end: 12 reporter-exact bundled hooks + empty manifest →
  resolver clears every blocker, assertInstallerMigrationsUnblocked
  does not throw.

Test exercises the real installer-migration code path
(`runInstallerMigrations` + `resolveInstallerMigrationPromptsForNonTty`
+ `assertInstallerMigrationsUnblocked`) — no source-grep, no raw text
matching on outputs.

GSD Install


"If you know clearly what you want, this WILL build it for you. No bs."

"I've done SpecKit, OpenSpec and Taskmaster — this has produced the best results for me."

"By far the most powerful addition to my Claude Code. Nothing over-engineered. Literally just gets shit done."


Trusted by engineers at Amazon, Google, Shopify, and Webflow.


Important

Returning to GSD?

Run /gsd-map-codebase to re-index your codebase, then /gsd-new-project to rebuild GSD's planning context. Your code is fine — GSD just needs its context rebuilt. See the CHANGELOG for what's new.


Why I Built This

I'm a solo developer. I don't write code — Claude Code does.

Other spec-driven tools exist, but they're all built for 50-person engineering orgs — sprint ceremonies, story points, stakeholder syncs, Jira workflows. I'm not that. I'm a creative person trying to build great things consistently.

So I built GSD. The complexity is in the system, not in your workflow. Behind the scenes: context engineering, XML prompt formatting, subagent orchestration, state management. What you see: a few commands that just work.

The system gives Claude everything it needs to do the work and verify it. I trust the workflow. It just does a good job.

— TÂCHES


How It Works

The loop is six commands. Each one does exactly one thing.

1. Initialize

/gsd-new-project

Questions → research → requirements → roadmap. You approve it, then you're ready to build.

Already have code? Run /gsd-map-codebase first. It analyzes your stack, architecture, and conventions so /gsd-new-project asks the right questions.

2. Discuss

/gsd-discuss-phase 1

Your roadmap has a sentence per phase. That's not enough to build it the way you imagine it. Discuss captures your decisions before anything gets planned: layouts, API shapes, error handling, data structures — whatever gray areas exist for this specific phase.

The output feeds directly into research and planning. Skip it, get reasonable defaults. Use it, get your vision.

3. Plan

/gsd-plan-phase 1

Research → plan → verify, in a loop until the plans pass. Each plan is small enough to execute in a fresh context window.

4. Execute

/gsd-execute-phase 1

Plans run in parallel waves. Each executor gets a fresh 200k-token context. Each task gets its own atomic commit. Walk away, come back to completed work with a clean git history.

Your main context window stays at 30–40%. The work happens in the subagents.

5. Verify

/gsd-verify-work 1

Walk through what was built. Anything broken gets a diagnosed fix plan — ready for immediate re-execution. You don't debug manually; you just run execute again.

6. Repeat → Ship

/gsd-ship 1
/gsd-complete-milestone
/gsd-new-milestone

Loop discuss → plan → execute → verify → ship until the milestone is done. Then archive, tag, and start the next one fresh.


Getting Started

npx get-shit-done-cc@latest

The installer prompts for your runtime (Claude Code, OpenCode, Gemini CLI, Kilo, Codex, Copilot, Cursor, Windsurf, and more) and whether to install globally or locally.

claude --dangerously-skip-permissions

GSD is built for frictionless automation. Skip-permissions is how it's intended to run.

Install only the skills you need with --profile=core (six core-loop skills), --profile=standard (core + phase management), or the default full install. Profiles compose: --profile=core,audit. --minimal is an alias for --profile=core. See docs/USER-GUIDE.md for the full walkthrough, non-interactive install flags for all 15 runtimes, and permissions configuration. See ADR-0011 for the profile model and runtime surface control.

Current release highlights are in docs/RELEASE-v1.42.1.md: package legitimacy checks, safer installer migrations, runtime surface control, custom ship PR sections, reviewer defaults, fallow structural review, and quota-aware execution recovery.


Commands

The main loop:

Command What it does
/gsd-new-project Questions → research → requirements → roadmap
/gsd-discuss-phase [N] Capture implementation decisions before planning
/gsd-plan-phase [N] Research + plan + verify
/gsd-execute-phase <N> Execute plans in parallel waves
/gsd-verify-work [N] Manual acceptance testing
/gsd-ship [N] Create PR from verified phase work
/gsd-progress --next Auto-detect and run the next step
/gsd-complete-milestone Archive milestone and tag release
/gsd-new-milestone Start next version
/gsd:surface Enable/disable skill clusters at runtime without reinstall

Why It Works

Three things most AI-coding setups get wrong:

1. Context bloat. As a session grows, quality degrades. GSD keeps your main context clean by doing the heavy work in fresh subagent contexts. Researchers, planners, and executors each start fresh with exactly what they need.

2. No shared memory. GSD maintains structured artifacts that survive session boundaries: PROJECT.md (vision), REQUIREMENTS.md (scope), ROADMAP.md (where you're going), STATE.md (current position and decisions), CONTEXT.md (per-phase implementation decisions). Every new session loads these and knows exactly where things stand.

3. No verification. Code that "runs" isn't code that "works." GSD's verify step walks you through what was built, diagnoses failures with dedicated debug agents, and generates fix plans before you declare a phase done.

See docs/ARCHITECTURE.md for how the multi-agent orchestration and context engineering work in detail.


Configuration

Settings live in .planning/config.json. Configure during /gsd-new-project or update with /gsd-settings.

Key dials:

Setting What it controls
mode interactive (confirm each step) or yolo (auto-approve)
Model profiles quality / balanced / budget — controls which model each agent uses
workflow.research / plan_check / verifier Toggle the quality agents that add tokens and time
parallelization.enabled Run independent plans simultaneously

Optional structural review: set code_quality.fallow.enabled to true to add a fallow pre-pass to /gsd-code-review. GSD writes .planning/phases/<phase>/FALLOW.json and surfaces a Structural Findings (fallow) section in REVIEW.md. Install with npm install -D fallow@^2.70.0 (or system-wide via cargo install fallow; note that the Rust binary's JSON schema must match the documented v2.70+ contract — older versions may produce silent zero-finding output).

Package legitimacy checks are built into the research, planning, and execution path: recommended dependencies get audited, unverified packages require a human checkpoint, and failed installs stop instead of trying similarly named alternatives.

Troubleshooting

Commands not showing up? Restart your runtime after install. GSD installs to ~/.claude/skills/gsd-*/ (Claude Code), ~/.codex/skills/gsd-*/ (Codex), or the equivalent for your runtime.

Codex users — minimum supported CLI version is 0.130.0. Codex CLI 0.130.0 (release notes) removed extra-skill-roots discovery via openai/codex#21485; from that version onward Codex discovers skills from standard roots (including ~/.codex/skills/<name>/SKILL.md). GSD installs there directly. Earlier Codex CLI versions may still discover additional roots, which can surface duplicate gsd-* entries (one from extra-roots discovery, one from ~/.codex/skills/); restart Codex after install and either upgrade or accept the duplicate listing.

Something broken? Re-run the installer — it's idempotent:

npx get-shit-done-cc@latest

Containers or Docker? Set CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR before installing to avoid tilde-expansion issues:

CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR=/home/youruser/.claude npx get-shit-done-cc --global
