Tom Boucher b9adedbc86 fix(#3151): stop emitting effort: into skill frontmatter (cache invalidation) (#3425)
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).

<objective>
Create executable phase prompts (PLAN.md files) for a roadmap phase with integrated research and verification.
**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.md` already 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 existing `RESEARCH.md` to stdout. Does not spawn the researcher. Cheapest mode for the correction-without-replanning loop. If no `RESEARCH.md` exists 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.

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

Phase number: $ARGUMENTS (optional — when omitted, the orchestrating workflow reads ROADMAP.md and selects the next unplanned phase; `gsd-tools.cjs` itself has no auto-detect feature and requires an explicit phase number)
**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 (`auto` default).
- `--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 `/rc` remote 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 emits `SKELETON.md` (Walking Skeleton). Vertical slicing itself is now the default (see `--no-tracer`); `--mvp` no longer *turns it on*. Can be persisted on a phase via `**Mode:** mvp` in 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-end `tracer` slice 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 rated `one-way` (undo needs a migration, breaks a published contract, or is impossible) gets a `checkpoint:decision` before the task implementing it. Ratings are still recorded on tasks and `costly` items still flagged — the flag changes what stops the run, not what the plan remembers.
Normalize phase input in step 2 before any directory lookups.
