Lex Christopherson 194d1d88bb refactor: slim principles.md and load in core commands
Reduce principles.md from 158 to 73 lines:
- Remove duplicates (atomic_commits, tdd, deviation_rules)
- Remove version drag from claude_automates
- Keep core orientation: solo dev model, plans are prompts,
  scope control, ship fast, anti-enterprise

Add principles.md to 9 core commands so Claude always
understands what GSD is.

gsd:discuss-phase Gather phase context through adaptive questioning before planning [phase]
Help the user articulate their vision for a phase through collaborative thinking.

Purpose: Understand HOW the user imagines this phase working — what it looks like, what's essential. You're a thinking partner helping them crystallize their vision, not an interviewer gathering technical requirements.

Output: {phase}-CONTEXT.md capturing the user's vision for the phase

<execution_context> @/.claude/get-shit-done/references/principles.md @/.claude/get-shit-done/workflows/discuss-phase.md @~/.claude/get-shit-done/templates/context.md </execution_context>

Phase number: $ARGUMENTS (required)

Load project state first: @.planning/STATE.md

Load roadmap: @.planning/ROADMAP.md

1. Validate phase number argument (error if missing or invalid) 2. Check if phase exists in roadmap 3. Check if CONTEXT.md already exists (offer to update if yes) 4. Follow discuss-phase.md workflow with **ALL questions using AskUserQuestion**: - Present phase from roadmap - Use AskUserQuestion: "How do you imagine this working?" with interpretation options - Use AskUserQuestion to follow their thread — probe what excites them - Use AskUserQuestion to sharpen the core — what's essential for THIS phase - Use AskUserQuestion for decision gate (ready / ask more / let me add context) - Create CONTEXT.md capturing their vision 5. Offer next steps (research or plan the phase)

CRITICAL: ALL questions use AskUserQuestion. Never ask inline text questions.

User is the visionary, you are the builder:

  • Ask about vision, feel, essential outcomes
  • DON'T ask about technical risks (you figure those out)
  • DON'T ask about codebase patterns (you read the code)
  • DON'T ask about success metrics (too corporate)
  • DON'T interrogate about constraints they didn't mention

<success_criteria>

  • Phase validated against roadmap
  • Vision gathered through collaborative thinking (not interrogation)
  • CONTEXT.md captures: how it works, what's essential
  • User knows next steps (research or plan the phase) </success_criteria>
