Claude Code applies SKILL.md effort: as output_config.effort; any change from the session baseline invalidates the prompt cache at BOTH scope boundaries (entry + exit, the latter often machine-fired via subagent-completion notification). The reporter's owned measurement confirms it: /gsd-progress (effort:low) in a medium session → cache_creation 63,404 (entry) + 18,589 (exit), while a no-effort skill shows none. ~76% of invocations paid in full. Fix (trek-e AC#2/AC#4): convertClaudeCommandToClaudeSkill no longer emits effort: into Claude-runtime skill frontmatter (src/runtime-artifact-conversion.cts + duplicated bin/install.js). normalizeClaudeSkillEffort removed (dead). The six declaring skills (plan-phase/execute-phase/autonomous/next/progress/stats) no longer carry effort. Source command files keep effort (input, used elsewhere); the separate agent-effort surface (#3160) is untouched. Tests: install-runtime-artifacts #769 block flipped to assert effort is ABSENT from installed SKILL.md + converter output (the AC#4 behavioral coverage). Co-authored-by: sim <sim@local>

Default flow: Research (if needed) → Plan → Verify → Done
Research-only mode (--research-phase <N>): Spawn gsd-phase-researcher for phase N, write RESEARCH.md, then exit before the planner runs. Useful for cross-phase research, doc review before committing to a planning approach, and correction-without-replanning loops where iterating on research alone is dramatically cheaper than re-spawning the planner. Replaces the deleted research-phase command (#3042).
Research-only modifiers:
- No flag — when
RESEARCH.mdalready exists, auto-uses it: emits a one-line notice and exits cleanly, no prompt. --research— force-refresh: re-spawn the researcher unconditionally, no prompt. Bypasses the existing-RESEARCH.md auto-use path.--view— view-only: print existingRESEARCH.mdto stdout. Does not spawn the researcher. Cheapest mode for the correction-without-replanning loop. If noRESEARCH.mdexists yet, errors with a hint to drop--view.
Orchestrator role: Parse arguments, validate phase, research domain (unless skipped), spawn gsd-planner, verify with gsd-plan-checker, iterate until pass or max iterations, present results.

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. Do not skip questioning steps because AskUserQuestion appears unavailable; use vscode_askquestions instead.

Flags:
--research— Force re-research even if RESEARCH.md exists--skip-research— Skip research, go straight to planning--gaps— Gap closure mode (reads VERIFICATION.md, skips research)--skip-verify— Skip verification loop--prd <file>— Use a PRD/acceptance criteria file instead of discuss-phase. Parses requirements into CONTEXT.md automatically. Skips discuss-phase entirely.--ingest <path-or-glob>— Use one or more ADR files instead of discuss-phase. Parses locked decisions + scope fences into CONTEXT.md automatically. Skips discuss-phase entirely.--ingest-format <auto|nygard|madr|narrative>— Optional ADR parser format override (autodefault).--reviews— Replan incorporating cross-AI review feedback from REVIEWS.md (produced by/gsd-review)--text— Use plain-text numbered lists instead of TUI menus (required for/rcremote sessions)--mvp— MVP enrichment on top of the default tracer-first ordering: frames the phase goal as a user story and, on Phase 1 of a new project, also emitsSKELETON.md(Walking Skeleton). Vertical slicing itself is now the default (see--no-tracer);--mvpno longer turns it on. Can be persisted on a phase via**Mode:** mvpin ROADMAP.md.--no-tracer— Opt out of the default tracer-first decomposition and plan horizontal layers (the legacy default). By default every plan LEADS with one production-quality end-to-endtracerslice that is verified before any expansion task.--no-reversibility-gates— Suppress the human checkpoint that a one-way-door decision normally earns, for runs you intend to leave unattended. By default a decision ratedone-way(undo needs a migration, breaks a published contract, or is impossible) gets acheckpoint:decisionbefore the task implementing it. Ratings are still recorded on tasks andcostlyitems still flagged — the flag changes what stops the run, not what the plan remembers.
Normalize phase input in step 2 before any directory lookups.
