SalesTeamToolbox c83b69bbb5 feat: workstream namespacing for parallel milestone work
Enable multiple Claude Code instances to work on the same codebase
simultaneously by scoping .planning/ state into workstreams.

Core changes:
- planningDir(cwd, ws?) and planningPaths(cwd, ws?) are now workstream-aware
  via GSD_WORKSTREAM env var (auto-detected from --ws flag or active-workstream file)
- All bin/lib modules use planningDir(cwd) for scoped paths (STATE.md, ROADMAP.md,
  phases/, REQUIREMENTS.md) and planningRoot(cwd) for shared paths (milestones/,
  PROJECT.md, config.json, codebase/)
- New workstream.cjs module: create, list, status, complete, set, get, progress
- gsd-tools.cjs: --ws flag parsing with priority chain
  (--ws > GSD_WORKSTREAM env > active-workstream file > flat mode)
- Collision detection: transition.md checks for other active workstreams before
  suggesting next-milestone continuation (prevents WS A from trampling WS B)
- ${GSD_WS} routing propagation across all 9 workflow files ensures workstream
  scope chains automatically through the workflow lifecycle

New files:
- get-shit-done/bin/lib/workstream.cjs (CRUD + collision detection)
- get-shit-done/commands/gsd/workstreams.md (slash command)
- get-shit-done/references/workstream-flag.md (documentation)
- tests/workstream.test.cjs (20 tests covering CRUD, env var routing, --ws flag)

All 1062 tests passing (1042 existing + 20 new workstream tests).

Manage parallel workstreams — list, create, switch, status, progress, complete, and resume

/gsd:workstreams

Manage parallel workstreams for concurrent milestone work.

Usage

/gsd:workstreams [subcommand] [args]

Subcommands

Command Description
list List all workstreams with status
create <name> Create a new workstream
status <name> Detailed status for one workstream
switch <name> Set active workstream
progress Progress summary across all workstreams
complete <name> Archive a completed workstream
resume <name> Resume work in a workstream

Step 1: Parse Subcommand

Parse the user's input to determine which workstream operation to perform. If no subcommand given, default to list.

Step 2: Execute Operation

list

Run: node "$GSD_TOOLS" workstream list --raw --cwd "$CWD" Display the workstreams in a table format showing name, status, current phase, and progress.

create

Run: node "$GSD_TOOLS" workstream create <name> --raw --cwd "$CWD" After creation, display the new workstream path and suggest next steps:

  • /gsd:new-milestone --ws <name> to set up the milestone

status

Run: node "$GSD_TOOLS" workstream status <name> --raw --cwd "$CWD" Display detailed phase breakdown and state information.

switch

Run: node "$GSD_TOOLS" workstream set <name> --raw --cwd "$CWD" Also set GSD_WORKSTREAM env var for the current session.

progress

Run: node "$GSD_TOOLS" workstream progress --raw --cwd "$CWD" Display a progress overview across all workstreams.

complete

Run: node "$GSD_TOOLS" workstream complete <name> --raw --cwd "$CWD" Archive the workstream to milestones/.

resume

Set the workstream as active and suggest /gsd:resume-work --ws <name>.

Step 3: Display Results

Format the JSON output from gsd-tools into a human-readable display. Include the ${GSD_WS} flag in any routing suggestions.
