fix(#2544): config-get exits 1 on missing key (was 10, UNIX convention is 1)

Change ErrorClassification for 'Key not found' in configGet from Validation
(exit 10) to Execution (exit 1), matching git config --get. Callers using
`gsd-sdk query config-get k || fallback` need a non-zero exit to trigger the
fallback branch; 10 worked technically but was semantically wrong and noisy.

@@ -7,17 +7,145 @@ Format follows [Keep a Changelog](https://keepachangelog.com/en/1.1.0/).
 ## [Unreleased]
 
 ### Added
-
-- **`@gsd-build/sdk` — Phase 1 typed query foundation** — Registry-based `gsd-sdk query` command, classified errors (`GSDQueryError`), and unit-tested handlers under `sdk/src/query/` (state, roadmap, phase lifecycle, init, config, validation, and related domains). Implements incremental SDK-first migration scope approved in #2083; builds on validated work from #2007 / `feat/sdk-foundation` without migrating workflows or removing `gsd-tools.cjs` in this phase.
-- **Flow diagram directive for phase researcher** — `gsd-phase-researcher` now enforces data-flow architecture diagrams instead of file-listing diagrams. Language-agnostic directive added to agent prompt and research template. (#2139)
+- **`/gsd-ingest-docs` command** — Scan a repo containing mixed ADRs, PRDs, SPECs, and DOCs and bootstrap or merge the full `.planning/` setup from them in a single pass. Parallel classification (`gsd-doc-classifier`), synthesis with precedence rules and cycle detection (`gsd-doc-synthesizer`), three-bucket conflicts report (`INGEST-CONFLICTS.md`: auto-resolved, competing-variants, unresolved-blockers), and hard-block on LOCKED-vs-LOCKED ADR contradictions in both new and merge modes. Supports directory-convention discovery and `--manifest <file>` YAML override with per-doc precedence. v1 caps at 50 docs per invocation; `--resolve interactive` is reserved. Extracts shared conflict-detection contract into `references/doc-conflict-engine.md` which `/gsd-import` now also consumes (#2387)
+- **`/gsd-plan-review-convergence` command** — Cross-AI plan convergence loop that automates `plan-phase → review → replan → re-review` cycles. Spawns isolated agents for `gsd-plan-phase` and `gsd-review`; orchestrator only does loop control, HIGH concern counting, stall detection, and escalation. Supports `--codex`, `--gemini`, `--claude`, `--opencode`, `--all` reviewers and `--max-cycles N` (default 3). Loop exits when no HIGH concerns remain; stall detection warns when count isn't decreasing; escalation gate asks user to proceed or review manually when max cycles reached (#2306)
 
 ### Fixed
+- **`gsd-read-injection-scanner` hook now ships to users** — the scanner was added in 1.37.0 (#2201) but was never added to `scripts/build-hooks.js`' `HOOKS_TO_COPY` allowlist, so it never landed in `hooks/dist/` and `install.js` skipped it with "Skipped read injection scanner hook — gsd-read-injection-scanner.js not found at target". Effectively disabled the read-time prompt-injection scanner for every user on 1.37.0/1.37.1. Added to the build allowlist and regression test. Also dropped a redundant non-absolute `.claude/hooks/` path check that was bypassing the installer's runtime-path templating and leaking `.claude/` references into non-Claude installs (#2406)
+- **SDK `checkAgentsInstalled` is now runtime-aware** — `sdk/src/query/init.ts::checkAgentsInstalled` only knew where Claude Code put agents (`~/.claude/agents`). Users running GSD on Codex, OpenCode, Gemini, Kilo, Copilot, Antigravity, Cursor, Windsurf, Augment, Trae, Qwen, CodeBuddy, or Cline got `agents_installed: false` even with a complete install, which hard-blocked any workflow that gates subagent spawning on that flag. `sdk/src/query/helpers.ts` now resolves the right directory via three-tier detection (`GSD_RUNTIME` env → `config.runtime` → `claude` fallback) and mirrors `bin/install.js::getGlobalDir()` for all 14 runtimes. `GSD_AGENTS_DIR` still short-circuits the chain. `init-runner.ts` stays Claude-only by design (#2402)
+- **`init` query agents-installed check looks at the correct directory** — `checkAgentsInstalled` in `sdk/src/query/init.ts` defaulted to `~/.claude/get-shit-done/agents/`, but the installer writes GSD agents to `~/.claude/agents/`. Every init query therefore reported `agents_installed: false` on clean installs, which made workflows refuse to spawn `gsd-executor` and other parallel subagents. The default now matches `sdk/src/init-runner.ts` and the installer (#2400)
+- **Installer now installs `@gsd-build/sdk` automatically** so `gsd-sdk` lands on PATH. Resolves `command not found: gsd-sdk` errors that affected every `/gsd-*` command after a fresh install or `/gsd-update` to 1.36+. Adds `--no-sdk` to opt out and `--sdk` to force reinstall. Implements the `--sdk` flag that was previously documented in README but never wired up (#2385)
 
-- **SDK query layer (PR review hardening)** — `commit-to-subrepo` uses realpath-aware path containment and sanitized commit messages; `state.planned-phase` uses the STATE.md lockfile; `verifyKeyLinks` mitigates ReDoS on frontmatter patterns; frontmatter handlers resolve paths under the real project root; phase directory names reject `..` and separators; `gsd-sdk` restores strict CLI parsing by stripping `--pick` before `parseArgs`; `QueryRegistry.commands()` for enumeration; `todoComplete` uses static error imports.
+## [1.37.1] - 2026-04-17
+
+### Fixed
+- UI-phase researcher now loads sketch findings skills, preventing re-asking questions already answered during `/gsd-sketch`
+
+## [1.37.0] - 2026-04-17
+
+### Added
+- **`/gsd-spike` and `/gsd-sketch` commands** — First-class GSD commands for rapid feasibility spiking and UI design sketching. Each produces throwaway experiments (spikes) or HTML mockups with multi-variant exploration (sketches), saved to `.planning/spikes/` and `.planning/sketches/` with full GSD integration: banners, checkpoint boxes, `gsd-sdk query` commits, and `--quick` flag to skip intake. Neither requires `/gsd-new-project` — auto-creates `.planning/` subdirs on demand
+- **`/gsd-spike-wrap-up` and `/gsd-sketch-wrap-up` commands** — Package spike/sketch findings into project-local skills at `./.claude/skills/` with a planning summary at `.planning/`. Curates each spike/sketch one-at-a-time, groups by feature/design area, and adds auto-load routing to project CLAUDE.md
+- **Spike/sketch pipeline integration** — `new-project` detects prior spike/sketch work on init, `discuss-phase` loads findings into prior context, `plan-phase` includes findings in planner `<files_to_read>`, `explore` offers spike/sketch as output routes, `next` surfaces pending spike/sketch work as notices, `pause-work` detects active sketch context for handoff, `do` routes spike/sketch intent to new commands
+- **`/gsd-spec-phase` command** — Socratic spec refinement with ambiguity scoring to clarify WHAT a phase delivers before discuss-phase. Produces a SPEC.md with falsifiable requirements locked before implementation decisions begin (#2213)
+- **`/gsd-progress --forensic` flag** — Appends a 6-check integrity audit after the standard progress report (#2231)
+- **`/gsd-discuss-phase --all` flag** — Skip area selection and discuss all gray areas interactively (#2230)
+- **Parallel discuss across independent phases** — Multiple phases without dependencies can be discussed concurrently (#2268)
+- **`gsd-read-injection-scanner` hook** — PostToolUse hook that scans for prompt injection attempts in read file contents (#2201)
+- **SDK Phase 2 caller migration** — Workflows, agents, and commands now use `gsd-sdk query` instead of raw `gsd-tools.cjs` calls (#2179)
+- **Project identity in Next Up blocks** — All Next Up blocks include workspace context for multi-project clarity (#1948)
+- **Agent size-budget enforcement** — New `tests/agent-size-budget.test.cjs` enforces tiered line-count limits on every `gsd-*.md` agent (XL=1600, LARGE=1000, DEFAULT=500). Unbounded agent growth is paid in context on every subagent dispatch; the test prevents regressions and requires a deliberate PR rationale to raise a budget (#2361)
+- **Shared `references/mandatory-initial-read.md`** — Extracts the `<required_reading>` enforcement block that was duplicated across 5 top agents. Agents now include it via a single `@~/.claude/get-shit-done/references/mandatory-initial-read.md` line, using Claude Code's progressive-disclosure `@file` reference mechanism (#2361)
+- **Shared `references/project-skills-discovery.md`** — Extracts the 5-step project skills discovery checklist that was copy-pasted across 5 top agents with slight divergence. Single source of truth with a per-agent "Application" paragraph documenting how planners, executors, researchers, verifiers, and debuggers each apply the rules (#2361)
 
 ### Changed
+- **`gsd-debugger` philosophy extracted to shared reference** — The 76-line `<philosophy>` block containing evergreen debugging disciplines (user-as-reporter framing, meta-debugging, foundation principles, cognitive-bias table, systematic investigation, when-to-restart protocol) is now in `get-shit-done/references/debugger-philosophy.md` and pulled into the agent via a single `@file` include. Same content, lighter per-dispatch context footprint (#2363)
+- **`gsd-planner`, `gsd-executor`, `gsd-debugger`, `gsd-verifier`, `gsd-phase-researcher`** — Migrated to `@file` includes for the mandatory-initial-read and project-skills-discovery boilerplate. Reduces per-dispatch context load without changing behavior (#2361)
+- **Consolidated emphasis-marker density in top 4 agent files** — `gsd-planner.md` (23 → 15), `gsd-phase-researcher.md` (14 → 9), `gsd-doc-writer.md` (11 → 6), and `gsd-executor.md` (10 → 7). Removed `CRITICAL:` prefixes from H2/H3 headings and dropped redundant `CRITICAL:` + `MUST` / `ALWAYS:` + `NEVER:` stacking. RFC-2119 `MUST`/`NEVER` verbs inside normative sentences are preserved. Behavior-preserving; no content removed (#2368)
 
+### Fixed
+- **Broken `@planner-source-audit.md` relative references in `gsd-planner.md`** — Two locations referenced `@planner-source-audit.md` (resolves relative to working directory, almost always missing) instead of the correct absolute `@~/.claude/get-shit-done/references/planner-source-audit.md`. The planner's source audit discipline was silently unenforced (#2361)
+- **Shell hooks falsely flagged as stale** — `.sh` hooks now ship with version headers; installer stamps them; stale-hook detector matches bash comment syntax (#2136)
+- **Worktree cleanup** — Orphaned worktrees pruned in code, not prose; pre-merge deletion guard in quick.md (#2367, #2275)

+### Changed
+- **Planner context-cost sizing** — Replaced time-based reasoning with context-cost sizing and multi-source coverage audit (#2091, #2092, #2114)
+- **`/gsd-next` prior-phase completeness scan** — Replaced consecutive-call counter with completeness scan (#2097)
+- **Inline execution for small plans** — Default to inline execution, skip subagent overhead for small plans (#1979)

+- **Non-technical owner adaptation** — `discuss-phase` adapts gray area language for non-technical owners via USER-PROFILE.md (#2125, #2173)
+- **Agent specs standardization** — Standardized `required_reading` patterns across agent specs (#2176)
+- **CI upgrades** — GitHub Actions upgraded to Node 22+ runtimes; release pipeline fixes (#2128, #1956)
+- **Branch cleanup workflow** — Auto-delete on merge + weekly sweep (#2051)
+- **PR #2179 maintainer review (Trek-e)** — Scoped SDK to Phase 2 (#2122): removed `gsd-sdk query` passthrough to `gsd-tools.cjs` and `GSD_TOOLS_PATH` override; argv routing consolidated in `resolveQueryArgv()`. `GSDTools` JSON parsing now reports `@file:` indirection read failures instead of failing opaquely. `execute-plan.md` defers Task Commit Protocol to `agents/gsd-executor.md` (single source of truth). Stale `/gsd:` scan (#1748) skips `.planning/` and root `CLAUDE.md` so local gitignored overlays do not fail CI.
+- **SDK query registry (PR #2179 review)** — Register `summary-extract` as an alias of `summary.extract` so workflows/agents match CJS naming. Correct `audit-fix.md` to call `audit-uat` instead of nonexistent `init.audit-uat`.
+- **`gsd-tools audit-open`** — Use `core.output()` (was undefined `output()`), and pass the artifact object for `--json` so stdout is JSON (not double-stringified).
+- **SDK query layer (PR review hardening)** — `commit-to-subrepo` uses realpath-aware path containment and sanitized commit messages; `state.planned-phase` uses the STATE.md lockfile; `verifyKeyLinks` mitigates ReDoS on frontmatter patterns; frontmatter handlers resolve paths under the real project root; phase directory names reject `..` and separators; `gsd-sdk` restores strict CLI parsing by stripping `--pick` before `parseArgs`; `QueryRegistry.commands()` for enumeration; `todoComplete` uses static error imports.
+- **`gsd-sdk query` routing (Phase 2 scope)** — `resolveQueryArgv()` maps argv to registered handlers (longest-prefix match on dotted and spaced command keys; optional single-token dotted split). Unregistered commands are rejected at the CLI; use `node …/gsd-tools.cjs` for CJS-only subcommands. `resolveGsdToolsPath()` probes the SDK-bundled copy, then project and user `~/.claude/get-shit-done/` installs (no `GSD_TOOLS_PATH` override). Broader “CLI parity” passthrough is explicitly out of scope for #2122 and tracked separately for a future approved issue.
 - **SDK query follow-up (tests, docs, registry)** — Expanded `QUERY_MUTATION_COMMANDS` for event emission; stale lock cleanup uses PID liveness (`process.kill(pid, 0)`) when a lock file exists; `searchJsonEntries` is depth-bounded (`MAX_JSON_SEARCH_DEPTH`); removed unnecessary `readdirSync`/`Dirent` casts across query handlers; added `sdk/src/query/QUERY-HANDLERS.md` (error vs `{ data.error }`, mutations, locks, intel limits); unit tests for intel, profile, uat, skills, summary, websearch, workstream, registry vs `QUERY_MUTATION_COMMANDS`, and frontmatter extract/splice round-trip.
+- **Phase 2 caller migration (#2122)** — Workflows, agents, and commands prefer `gsd-sdk query` for registered handlers; extended migration to additional orchestration call sites (review, plan-phase, execute-plan, ship, extract_learnings, ai-integration-phase, eval-review, next, profile-user, autonomous, thread command) and researcher agents; dual-path and CJS-only exceptions documented in `docs/CLI-TOOLS.md` and `docs/ARCHITECTURE.md`; relaxed `tests/gsd-tools-path-refs.test.cjs` so `commands/gsd/workstreams.md` may document `gsd-sdk query` without `node` + `gsd-tools.cjs`. CJS `gsd-tools.cjs` remains on disk; graphify and other non-registry commands stay on CJS until registered. (#2008)
+- **Phase 2 docs and call sites (follow-up)** — `docs/USER-GUIDE.md` now explains `gsd-sdk query` vs legacy CJS and lists CJS-only commands (`state validate`/`sync`, `audit-open`, `graphify`, `from-gsd2`). Updated `commands/gsd` (`debug`, `quick`, `intel`), `agents/gsd-debug-session-manager.md`, and workflows (`milestone-summary`, `forensics`, `next`, `complete-milestone`, `verify-work`, `discuss-phase`, `progress`, `verify-phase`, `add-phase`/`insert-phase`/`remove-phase`, `transition`, `manager`, `quick`) for `gsd-sdk query` or explicit CJS exceptions (`audit-open`).
+- **Phase 2 orchestration doc pass (#2122)** — Aligned `commands/gsd` (`execute-phase`, `code-review`, `code-review-fix`, `from-gsd2`, `graphify`) and agents (`gsd-verifier`, `gsd-plan-checker`, `gsd-code-fixer`, `gsd-executor`, `gsd-planner`, researchers, debugger) so examples use `init.*` query names, correct `frontmatter.get` positional field, `state.*` positional args, and `commit` with positional file paths (not `--files`, except `commit-to-subrepo` which keeps `--files`).
+- **Phase 2 `commit` example sweep (#2122)** — Normalized `gsd-sdk query commit` usage across `get-shit-done/workflows/**/*.md`, `get-shit-done/references/**/*.md`, and `commands/gsd/**/*.md` so file paths follow the message positionally (SDK `commit` handler); `gsd-sdk query commit-to-subrepo … --files …` unchanged. Updated `get-shit-done/references/git-planning-commit.md` prose; adjusted workflow contract tests (`claude-md`, forensics, milestone-summary, gates taxonomy CRLF-safe `required_reading`, verifier `roadmap.analyze`) for the new examples.

+Only `agents/` at the repo root is tracked by git. The following directories may exist on a developer machine with GSD installed and **must not be edited** — they are install-sync outputs and will be overwritten:
+
+| Path | Gitignored | What it is |
+|------|-----------|------------|
+| `.claude/agents/` | Yes (`.gitignore:9`) | Local Claude Code runtime sync |
+| `.cursor/agents/` | Yes (`.gitignore:12`) | Local Cursor IDE bundle |
+| `.github/agents/gsd-*` | Yes (`.gitignore:37`) | Local CI-surface bundle |
+
+If you find that `.claude/agents/` has drifted from `agents/` (e.g., after a branch change), re-run `bin/install.js` to re-sync from the canonical source. Always edit `agents/` — never the derivative directories.

-## Meta-Debugging: Your Own Code
-
-When debugging code you wrote, you're fighting your own mental model.
-
-**Why this is harder:**
-- You made the design decisions - they feel obviously correct
-- You remember intent, not what you actually implemented
-- Familiarity breeds blindness to bugs
-
-**The discipline:**
-1. **Treat your code as foreign** - Read it as if someone else wrote it
-2. **Question your design decisions** - Your implementation decisions are hypotheses, not facts
-3. **Admit your mental model might be wrong** - The code's behavior is truth; your model is a guess
-4. **Prioritize code you touched** - If you modified 100 lines and something breaks, those are prime suspects
-
-**The hardest admission:** "I implemented this wrong." Not "requirements were unclear" - YOU made an error.
-
-## Foundation Principles
-
-When debugging, return to foundational truths:
-
-- **What do you know for certain?** Observable facts, not assumptions
-- **What are you assuming?** "This library should work this way" - have you verified?
-- **Strip away everything you think you know.** Build understanding from observable facts.
-
-## Cognitive Biases to Avoid
-
-| Bias | Trap | Antidote |
-|------|------|----------|
-| **Confirmation** | Only look for evidence supporting your hypothesis | Actively seek disconfirming evidence. "What would prove me wrong?" |
-| **Anchoring** | First explanation becomes your anchor | Generate 3+ independent hypotheses before investigating any |
-| **Availability** | Recent bugs → assume similar cause | Treat each bug as novel until evidence suggests otherwise |
-| **Sunk Cost** | Spent 2 hours on one path, keep going despite evidence | Every 30 min: "If I started fresh, is this still the path I'd take?" |
-
-## Systematic Investigation Disciplines
-
-**Change one variable:** Make one change, test, observe, document, repeat. Multiple changes = no idea what mattered.
-
-**Complete reading:** Read entire functions, not just "relevant" lines. Read imports, config, tests. Skimming misses crucial details.
-
-**Embrace not knowing:** "I don't know why this fails" = good (now you can investigate). "It must be X" = dangerous (you've stopped thinking).
-
-## When to Restart
-
-Consider starting over when:
-1. **2+ hours with no progress** - You're likely tunnel-visioned
-2. **3+ "fixes" that didn't work** - Your mental model is wrong
-3. **You can't explain the current behavior** - Don't add changes on top of confusion
-4. **You're debugging the debugger** - Something fundamental is wrong
-5. **The fix works but you don't know why** - This isn't fixed, this is luck
-
-**Restart protocol:**
-1. Close all files and terminals
-2. Write down what you know for certain
-3. Write down what you've ruled out
-4. List new hypotheses (different from before)
-5. Begin again from Phase 1: Evidence Gathering

+You are a GSD doc synthesizer. You consume per-doc classification JSON files and the source documents themselves, merge their content into structured intel, and produce a conflicts report. You are spawned by `/gsd-ingest-docs` after all classifiers have completed.
+
+You do NOT prompt the user. You do NOT write PROJECT.md, REQUIREMENTS.md, or ROADMAP.md — those are produced downstream by `gsd-roadmapper` using your output. Your job is synthesis + conflict surfacing.
+
+**CRITICAL: Mandatory Initial Read**

+<why_this_matters>
+You are the precedence-enforcing layer. Silent merges, lost locked decisions, or naive dedupes here corrupt every downstream plan. When in doubt, surface the conflict rather than pick.
+</why_this_matters>
+
+<inputs>
+The prompt provides:
+- `CLASSIFICATIONS_DIR` — directory containing per-doc `*.json` files produced by `gsd-doc-classifier`
+- `INTEL_DIR` — where to write synthesized intel (typically `.planning/intel/`)
+- `CONFLICTS_PATH` — where to write `INGEST-CONFLICTS.md` (typically `.planning/INGEST-CONFLICTS.md`)
+- `MODE` — `new` or `merge`
+- `EXISTING_CONTEXT` (merge mode only) — list of paths to existing `.planning/` files to check against (ROADMAP.md, PROJECT.md, REQUIREMENTS.md, CONTEXT.md files)
+- `PRECEDENCE` — ordered list, default `["ADR", "SPEC", "PRD", "DOC"]`; may be overridden per-doc via the classification's `precedence` field
+</inputs>
+
+<precedence_rules>
+
+**Default ordering:** `ADR > SPEC > PRD > DOC`. Higher-precedence sources win when content contradicts.
+
+**Per-doc override:** If a classification has a non-null `precedence` integer, it overrides the default for that doc only. Lower integer = higher precedence.
+
+**LOCKED decisions:**
+- An ADR with `locked: true` produces decisions that cannot be auto-overridden by any source, including another LOCKED ADR.
+- **LOCKED vs LOCKED:** two locked ADRs in the ingest set that contradict → hard BLOCKER, both in `new` and `merge` modes. Never auto-resolve.
+- **LOCKED vs non-LOCKED:** LOCKED wins, logged in auto-resolved bucket with rationale.
+- **Merge mode, LOCKED in ingest vs existing locked decision in CONTEXT.md:** hard BLOCKER.
+
+**Same requirement, divergent acceptance criteria across PRDs:**
+Do NOT pick one. Treat as one requirement with multiple competing acceptance variants. Write all variants to the `competing-variants` bucket for user resolution.
+
+</precedence_rules>
+
+<process>
+
+<step name="load_classifications">
+Read every `*.json` in `CLASSIFICATIONS_DIR`. Build an in-memory index keyed by `source_path`. Count by type.
+
+If any classification is `UNKNOWN` with `low` confidence, note it — these will surface as unresolved-blockers (user must type-tag via manifest and re-run).
+</step>
+
+<step name="cycle_detection">
+Build a directed graph from `cross_refs`. Run cycle detection (DFS with three-color marking).
+
+If cycles exist:
+- Record each cycle as an unresolved-blocker entry
+- Do NOT proceed with synthesis on the cyclic set — synthesis loops produce garbage
+- Docs outside the cycle may still be synthesized
+
+**Cap:** Max traversal depth 50. If the ref graph exceeds this, abort with a BLOCKER entry directing user to shrink input via `--manifest`.
+</step>
+
+<step name="extract_per_type">
+For each classified doc, read the source and extract per-type content. Write per-type intel files to `INTEL_DIR`:
+
+- **ADRs** → `INTEL_DIR/decisions.md`
+  - One entry per ADR: title, source path, status (locked/proposed), decision statement, scope
+  - Preserve every decision separately; synthesis happens in the next step
+
+- **PRDs** → `INTEL_DIR/requirements.md`
+  - One entry per requirement: ID (derive `REQ-{slug}`), source PRD path, description, acceptance criteria, scope
+  - One PRD usually yields multiple requirements
+
+- **SPECs** → `INTEL_DIR/constraints.md`
+  - One entry per constraint: title, source path, type (api-contract | schema | nfr | protocol), content block

+2. **ADR-vs-existing locked CONTEXT.md (merge mode only)** — any ingest decision contradicts a decision in an existing `<decisions>` block marked locked → `unresolved-blockers`
+3. **PRD requirement overlap with different acceptance** — two PRDs define requirements on the same scope with non-identical acceptance criteria → `competing-variants`; preserve all variants

+## Advanced and Specialized Agents
+
+Ten additional agents ship under `agents/gsd-*.md` and are used by specialty workflows (`/gsd-ai-integration-phase`, `/gsd-eval-review`, `/gsd-code-review`, `/gsd-code-review-fix`, `/gsd-debug`, `/gsd-intel`, `/gsd-select-framework`) and by the planner pipeline. Each carries full frontmatter in its agent file; the stubs below are concise by design. The authoritative roster (with spawner and primary-doc status per agent) lives in [`docs/INVENTORY.md`](INVENTORY.md).
+
+### gsd-pattern-mapper
+
+**Role:** Read-only codebase analysis that maps files-to-be-created or modified to their closest existing analogs, producing `PATTERNS.md` for the planner to consume.
+
+| Property | Value |
+|----------|-------|
+| **Spawned by** | `/gsd-plan-phase` (between research and planning) |
+| **Parallelism** | Single instance |
+| **Tools** | Read, Bash, Glob, Grep, Write |
+| **Model (balanced)** | Sonnet |
+| **Color** | Magenta |
+| **Produces** | `PATTERNS.md` in the phase directory |
+
+**Key behaviors:**
+- Extracts file list from CONTEXT.md and RESEARCH.md; classifies each by role (controller, component, service, model, middleware, utility, config, test) and data flow (CRUD, streaming, file I/O, event-driven, request-response)
+- Searches for the closest existing analog per file and extracts concrete code excerpts (imports, auth patterns, core pattern, error handling)
+- Strictly read-only against source; only writes `PATTERNS.md`
+
+---
+
+### gsd-debug-session-manager
+
+**Role:** Runs the full `/gsd-debug` checkpoint-and-continuation loop in an isolated context so the orchestrator's main context stays lean; spawns `gsd-debugger` agents, dispatches specialist skills, and handles user checkpoints via AskUserQuestion.
+
+| Property | Value |
+|----------|-------|
+| **Spawned by** | `/gsd-debug` |
+| **Parallelism** | Single instance (interactive, stateful) |
+| **Tools** | Read, Write, Bash, Grep, Glob, Task, AskUserQuestion |
+| **Model (balanced)** | Sonnet |
+| **Color** | Orange |
+| **Produces** | Compact summary returned to main context; evolves the `.planning/debug/{slug}.md` session file |
+
+**Key behaviors:**
+- Reads the debug session file first; passes file paths (not inlined contents) to spawned agents to respect context budget
+- Treats all user-supplied AskUserQuestion content as data-only, wrapped in DATA_START/DATA_END markers
+- Coordinates TDD gates and reasoning checkpoints introduced in v1.36.0
+
+---
+
+### gsd-code-reviewer
+
+**Role:** Reviews source files for bugs, security vulnerabilities, and code-quality problems; produces a structured `REVIEW.md` with severity-classified findings.
+
+| Property | Value |
+|----------|-------|
+| **Spawned by** | `/gsd-code-review` |
+| **Parallelism** | Typically single instance per review scope |
+| **Tools** | Read, Write, Bash, Grep, Glob |
+| **Model (balanced)** | Sonnet |
+| **Color** | `#F59E0B` (amber) |
+| **Produces** | `REVIEW.md` in the phase directory |
+
+**Key behaviors:**
+- Detects bugs (logic errors, null/undefined checks, off-by-one, type mismatches, unreachable code), security issues (injection, XSS, hardcoded secrets, insecure crypto), and quality issues
+- Honors `CLAUDE.md` project conventions and `.claude/skills/` / `.agents/skills/` rules when present
+- Read-only against implementation source — never modifies code under review
+
+---
+
+### gsd-code-fixer
+
+**Role:** Applies fixes to findings from `REVIEW.md` with intelligent (non-blind) patching and atomic per-fix commits; produces `REVIEW-FIX.md`.
+
+| Property | Value |
+|----------|-------|
+| **Spawned by** | `/gsd-code-review-fix` |
+| **Parallelism** | Single instance |
+| **Tools** | Read, Edit, Write, Bash, Grep, Glob |
+| **Model (balanced)** | Sonnet |
+| **Color** | `#10B981` (emerald) |
+| **Produces** | `REVIEW-FIX.md`; one atomic git commit per applied fix |
+
+**Key behaviors:**
+- Treats `REVIEW.md` suggestions as guidance, not a patch to apply literally
+- Commits each fix atomically so review and rollback stay granular
+- Honors `CLAUDE.md` and project-skill rules during fixes
+
+---
+
+### gsd-ai-researcher
+
+**Role:** Researches a chosen AI/LLM framework's official documentation and distills it into implementation-ready guidance — framework quick reference, patterns, and pitfalls — for the Section 3–4b body of `AI-SPEC.md`.
+
+| Property | Value |
+|----------|-------|
+| **Spawned by** | `/gsd-ai-integration-phase` |
+| **Parallelism** | Single instance (sequential with domain-researcher / eval-planner) |
+| **Tools** | Read, Write, Bash, Grep, Glob, WebFetch, WebSearch, mcp (context7) |
+| **Model (balanced)** | Sonnet |
+| **Color** | `#34D399` (green) |
+| **Produces** | Sections 3–4b of `AI-SPEC.md` (framework quick reference + implementation guidance) |
+
+**Key behaviors:**
+- Uses Context7 MCP when available; falls back to the `ctx7` CLI via Bash when MCP tools are stripped from the agent
+- Anchors guidance to the specific use case, not generic framework overviews
+
+---
+
+### gsd-domain-researcher
+
+**Role:** Surfaces the business-domain and real-world evaluation context for an AI system — expert rubric ingredients, failure modes, regulatory context — before the eval-planner turns it into measurable rubrics. Writes Section 1b of `AI-SPEC.md`.
+
+| Property | Value |
+|----------|-------|
+| **Spawned by** | `/gsd-ai-integration-phase` |
+| **Parallelism** | Single instance |
+| **Tools** | Read, Write, Bash, Grep, Glob, WebSearch, WebFetch, mcp (context7) |
+| **Model (balanced)** | Sonnet |
+| **Color** | `#A78BFA` (violet) |
+| **Produces** | Section 1b of `AI-SPEC.md` |
+
+**Key behaviors:**
+- Researches the domain, not the technical framework — its output feeds the eval-planner downstream
+- Produces rubric ingredients that downstream evaluators can turn into measurable criteria
+
+---
+
+### gsd-eval-planner
+
+**Role:** Designs the structured evaluation strategy for an AI phase — failure modes, eval dimensions with rubrics, tooling, reference dataset, guardrails, production monitoring. Writes Sections 5–7 of `AI-SPEC.md`.
+
+| Property | Value |
+|----------|-------|
+| **Spawned by** | `/gsd-ai-integration-phase` |
+| **Parallelism** | Single instance (sequential after domain-researcher) |
+| **Tools** | Read, Write, Bash, Grep, Glob, AskUserQuestion |
+| **Model (balanced)** | Sonnet |
+| **Color** | `#F59E0B` (amber) |
+| **Produces** | Sections 5–7 of `AI-SPEC.md` (Evaluation Strategy, Guardrails, Production Monitoring) |
+
+**Required reading:** `get-shit-done/references/ai-evals.md` (evaluation framework).
+
+**Key behaviors:**
+- Turns domain-researcher rubric ingredients into measurable, tooled evaluation criteria
+- Does not re-derive domain context — reads Section 1 and 1b of `AI-SPEC.md` as established input
+
+---
+
+### gsd-eval-auditor
+
+**Role:** Retroactive audit of an implemented AI phase's evaluation coverage against its planned `AI-SPEC.md` eval strategy. Scores each eval dimension `COVERED` / `PARTIAL` / `MISSING` and produces `EVAL-REVIEW.md`.
+
+| Property | Value |
+|----------|-------|
+| **Spawned by** | `/gsd-eval-review` |
+| **Parallelism** | Single instance |
+| **Tools** | Read, Write, Bash, Grep, Glob |
+| **Model (balanced)** | Sonnet |
+| **Color** | `#EF4444` (red) |
+| **Produces** | `EVAL-REVIEW.md` with dimension scores, findings, and remediation guidance |
+
+**Required reading:** `get-shit-done/references/ai-evals.md`.
+
+**Key behaviors:**
+- Compares the implemented codebase against the planned eval strategy — never re-plans
+- Reads implementation files incrementally to respect context budget
+
+---
+
+### gsd-framework-selector
+
+**Role:** Interactive decision-matrix agent that runs a ≤6-question interview, scores candidate AI/LLM frameworks, and returns a ranked recommendation with rationale.
+
+| Property | Value |
+|----------|-------|
+| **Spawned by** | `/gsd-ai-integration-phase`, `/gsd-select-framework` |
+| **Parallelism** | Single instance (interactive) |
+| **Tools** | Read, Bash, Grep, Glob, WebSearch, AskUserQuestion |
+| **Model (balanced)** | Sonnet |
+| **Color** | `#38BDF8` (sky blue) |
+| **Produces** | Scored ranked recommendation (structured return to orchestrator) |
+
+**Required reading:** `get-shit-done/references/ai-frameworks.md` (decision matrix).
+
+**Key behaviors:**
+- Scans `package.json`, `pyproject.toml`, `requirements*.txt` for existing AI libraries before the interview to avoid recommending a rejected framework
+- Asks only what the codebase scan and CONTEXT.md have not already answered
+
+---
+
+### gsd-intel-updater
+
+**Role:** Reads project source and writes structured intel (JSON + Markdown) into `.planning/intel/`, building a queryable codebase knowledge base that other agents use instead of performing expensive fresh exploration.
+
+| Property | Value |
+|----------|-------|
+| **Spawned by** | `/gsd-intel` (refresh / update flows) |
+| **Parallelism** | Single instance |
+| **Tools** | Read, Write, Bash, Glob, Grep |
+| **Model (balanced)** | Sonnet |
+| **Color** | Cyan |
+| **Produces** | `.planning/intel/*.json` (and companion Markdown) consumed by `gsd-sdk query intel` |
+
+**Key behaviors:**
+- Writes current state only — no temporal language, every claim references an actual file path
+- Uses Glob / Read / Grep for cross-platform correctness; Bash is reserved for `gsd-sdk query intel` CLI calls
+
+---
+
+### gsd-doc-classifier
+
+**Role:** Classifies a single planning document as ADR, PRD, SPEC, DOC, or UNKNOWN. Extracts title, scope summary, and cross-references. Writes a JSON classification file used by `gsd-doc-synthesizer` to build a consolidated context.
+
+| Property | Value |
+|----------|-------|
+| **Spawned by** | `/gsd-ingest-docs` (parallel fan-out over the doc corpus) |
+| **Parallelism** | One instance per input document |
+| **Tools** | Read, Write, Grep, Glob |
+| **Model (balanced)** | Haiku |
+| **Color** | Yellow |
+| **Produces** | One JSON classification file per input doc (type, title, scope, refs) |
+
+**Key behaviors:**
+- Single-doc scope — never synthesizes or resolves conflicts (that is the synthesizer's job)
+- Heuristic-first classification; returns UNKNOWN when the doc lacks type signals rather than guessing
+
+---
+
+### gsd-doc-synthesizer
+
+**Role:** Synthesizes classified planning docs into a single consolidated context. Applies precedence rules, detects cross-reference cycles, enforces LOCKED-vs-LOCKED hard-blocks, and writes `INGEST-CONFLICTS.md` with three buckets (auto-resolved, competing-variants, unresolved-blockers).
+
+| Property | Value |
+|----------|-------|
+| **Spawned by** | `/gsd-ingest-docs` (after classifier fan-in) |
+| **Parallelism** | Single instance |
+| **Tools** | Read, Write, Grep, Glob, Bash |
+| **Model (balanced)** | Sonnet |
+| **Color** | Orange |
+| **Produces** | Consolidated context for `.planning/` plus `INGEST-CONFLICTS.md` report |
+
+**Key behaviors:**
+- Hard-blocks on LOCKED-vs-LOCKED ADR contradictions instead of silently picking a winner
+- Follows the `references/doc-conflict-engine.md` contract so `/gsd-import` and `/gsd-ingest-docs` produce consistent conflict reports
+

+## `/gsd-ultraplan-phase` — Ultraplan Integration [BETA]
+
+> **Claude Code only · Requires Claude Code v2.1.91+**
+> Ultraplan is itself a Claude Code research preview — both this command and the underlying feature may change.
+
+### What it does
+
+`/gsd-ultraplan-phase` offloads GSD's plan-phase drafting to [Claude Code's ultraplan](https://code.claude.ai) cloud infrastructure. Instead of planning locally in the terminal, the plan is drafted in a browser-based session with:
+
+- An **outline sidebar** for navigating the plan structure
+- **Inline comments** for annotating and refining tasks
+- A persistent browser tab so your terminal stays free while the plan is being drafted
+
+When you're satisfied with the draft, you save it and import it back into GSD — conflict detection, format validation, and plan-checker verification all run automatically.
+
+### Why use it
+
+| Situation | Recommendation |
+|-----------|---------------|
+| Long, complex phases where you want to read and comment on the plan before it executes | Use `/gsd-ultraplan-phase` |
+| Quick phases, familiar domain, or non-Claude Code runtimes | Use `/gsd-plan-phase` (stable) |
+| You have a plan from another source (teammate, external AI) | Use `/gsd-import` |
+
+### Requirements
+
+- **Runtime:** Claude Code only. The command exits with an error on Gemini CLI, Copilot CLI, and other runtimes.
+- **Version:** Claude Code v2.1.91 or later (the `$CLAUDE_CODE_VERSION` env var must be set).
+- **Cost:** No extra charge for Pro and Max subscribers. Ultraplan is included at no additional cost.
+
+### Usage
+
+```bash
+/gsd-ultraplan-phase         # Ultraplan the next unplanned phase
+/gsd-ultraplan-phase 2       # Ultraplan a specific phase number
+```
+
+| Argument | Required | Description |
+|----------|----------|-------------|
+| `N` | No | Phase number (defaults to next unplanned phase) |
+
+### How it works
+
+1. **Initialization** — GSD runs the standard plan-phase init, resolving which phase to plan and confirming prerequisites.
+
+2. **Context assembly** — GSD reads `ROADMAP.md`, `REQUIREMENTS.md`, and any existing `RESEARCH.md` for the phase. This context is bundled into a structured prompt so ultraplan has everything it needs without you copying anything manually.
+
+3. **Return-path instructions** — Before launching ultraplan, GSD prints the import command to your terminal so it's visible in your scroll-back buffer after the browser session ends:
+   ```
+   When done: /gsd-import --from <path-to-saved-plan>
+   ```
+
+4. **Ultraplan launches** — The `/ultraplan` command hands off to the browser. Use the outline sidebar and inline comments to review and refine the draft.
+
+5. **Save the plan** — When satisfied, click **Cancel** in Claude Code. Claude Code saves the plan to a local file and returns you to the terminal.
+
+6. **Import back into GSD** — Run the import command that was printed in step 3:
+   ```bash
+   /gsd-import --from /path/to/saved-plan.md
+   ```
+   This runs conflict detection against `PROJECT.md`, converts the plan to GSD format, validates it with `gsd-plan-checker`, updates `ROADMAP.md`, and commits — the same path as any external plan import.
+
+### What gets produced
+
+| Step | Output |
+|------|--------|
+| After ultraplan | External plan file (saved by Claude Code) |
+| After `/gsd-import` | `{phase}-{N}-PLAN.md` in `.planning/phases/` |
+
+### What this command does NOT do
+
+- Write `PLAN.md` files directly — all writes go through `/gsd-import`
+- Replace `/gsd-plan-phase` — local planning is unaffected and remains the default
+- Run research agents — if you need `RESEARCH.md` first, run `/gsd-plan-phase --skip-verify` or a research-only pass before using this command
+
+### Troubleshooting
+
+**"ultraplan is not available in this runtime"**
+You're running GSD outside of Claude Code. Switch to a Claude Code terminal session, or use `/gsd-plan-phase` instead.
+
+**Ultraplan browser session never opened**
+Check your Claude Code version: `claude --version`. Requires v2.1.91+. Update with `claude update`.
+
+**`/gsd-import` reports conflicts**
+Ultraplan may have proposed something that contradicts a decision in `PROJECT.md`. The import step will prompt you to resolve each conflict before writing anything.
+
+**Plan checker fails after import**
+The imported plan has structural issues. Review the checker output, edit the saved file to fix them, and re-run `/gsd-import --from <same-file>`.
+
+### Related commands
+
+- [`/gsd-plan-phase`](COMMANDS.md#gsd-plan-phase) — standard local planning (stable, all runtimes)
+- [`/gsd-import`](COMMANDS.md#gsd-import) — import any external plan file into GSD

+**Optional integration — `capture_thought`:** `capture_thought` is a **convention, not a bundled tool**. GSD does not ship one and does not require one. The workflow checks whether any MCP server in the current session exposes a tool named `capture_thought` and, if so, calls it once per extracted learning with the signature below. If no such tool is present, the step is skipped silently and `LEARNINGS.md` remains the primary output.

+
+### 117. Spike Command
+
+**Command:** `/gsd-spike [idea] [--quick]`
+
+**Purpose:** Run 2–5 focused feasibility experiments before committing to an implementation approach. Each experiment uses Given/When/Then framing, produces executable code, and returns a VALIDATED / INVALIDATED / PARTIAL verdict. Companion `/gsd-spike-wrap-up` packages findings into a project-local skill.
+
+**Requirements:**
+- REQ-SPIKE-01: Each experiment MUST produce a Given/When/Then hypothesis before any code is written
+- REQ-SPIKE-02: Each experiment MUST include working code or a minimal reproduction
+- REQ-SPIKE-03: Each experiment MUST return one of: VALIDATED, INVALIDATED, or PARTIAL verdict with evidence
+- REQ-SPIKE-04: Results MUST be stored in `.planning/spikes/NNN-experiment-name/` with a README and MANIFEST.md
+- REQ-SPIKE-05: `--quick` flag skips intake conversation and uses the argument text as the experiment direction
+- REQ-SPIKE-06: `/gsd-spike-wrap-up` MUST package findings into `.claude/skills/spike-findings-[project]/`
+
+**Produces:**
+| Artifact | Description |
+|----------|-------------|
+| `.planning/spikes/NNN-name/README.md` | Hypothesis, experiment code, verdict, and evidence |
+| `.planning/spikes/MANIFEST.md` | Index of all spikes with verdicts |
+| `.claude/skills/spike-findings-[project]/` | Packaged findings (via `/gsd-spike-wrap-up`) |
+
+---
+
+### 118. Sketch Command
+
+**Command:** `/gsd-sketch [idea] [--quick] [--text]`
+
+**Purpose:** Explore design directions through throwaway HTML mockups before committing to implementation. Produces 2–3 interactive variants per design question, all viewable directly in a browser with no build step. Companion `/gsd-sketch-wrap-up` packages winning decisions into a project-local skill.
+
+**Requirements:**
+- REQ-SKETCH-01: Each sketch MUST answer one specific visual design question
+- REQ-SKETCH-02: Each sketch MUST include 2–3 meaningfully different variants in a single `index.html` with tab navigation
+- REQ-SKETCH-03: All interactive elements (hover, click, transitions) MUST be functional
+- REQ-SKETCH-04: Sketches MUST use real-ish content, not lorem ipsum
+- REQ-SKETCH-05: A shared `themes/default.css` MUST provide CSS variables adapted to the agreed aesthetic
+- REQ-SKETCH-06: `--quick` flag skips mood intake; `--text` flag replaces `AskUserQuestion` with numbered lists for non-Claude runtimes
+- REQ-SKETCH-07: The winning variant MUST be marked in the README frontmatter and with a ★ in the HTML tab
+- REQ-SKETCH-08: `/gsd-sketch-wrap-up` MUST package winning decisions into `.claude/skills/sketch-findings-[project]/`
+
+**Produces:**

+
+### 119. Agent Size-Budget Enforcement
+
+**Purpose:** Keep agent prompt files lean with tiered line-count limits enforced in CI. Oversized agents are caught before they bloat context windows in production.
+
+**Requirements:**
+- REQ-BUDGET-01: `agents/gsd-*.md` files are classified into three tiers: XL (≤ 1 600 lines), Large (≤ 1 000 lines), Default (≤ 500 lines)
+- REQ-BUDGET-02: Tier assignment is declared in the file's YAML frontmatter (`size: xl | large | default`)
+- REQ-BUDGET-03: `tests/agent-size-budget.test.cjs` enforces limits and fails CI on violation
+- REQ-BUDGET-04: Files without a `size` frontmatter key default to the Default (500-line) limit
+
+**Test file:** `tests/agent-size-budget.test.cjs`
+
+---
+
+### 120. Shared Boilerplate Extraction
+
+**Purpose:** Reduce duplication across agents by extracting two common boilerplate blocks into shared reference files loaded on demand. Keeps agent files within size budget and makes boilerplate updates a single-file change.
+
+**Requirements:**
+- REQ-BOILER-01: Mandatory-initial-read instructions extracted to `references/mandatory-initial-read.md`
+- REQ-BOILER-02: Project-skills-discovery instructions extracted to `references/project-skills-discovery.md`
+- REQ-BOILER-03: Agents that previously inlined these blocks MUST now reference them via `@` required_reading
+
+**Reference files:** `references/mandatory-initial-read.md`, `references/project-skills-discovery.md`
+
+---
+
+### 121. Knowledge Graph Integration
+
+**Purpose:** Build, query, and inspect a lightweight knowledge graph of the project in `.planning/graphs/`. Opt-in per project. Exposed as the `/gsd-graphify` user-facing command and the `gsd-tools.cjs graphify …` programmatic verb family. Complements `/gsd-intel` (snapshot-oriented) with a graph-oriented view of nodes and edges across commands, agents, workflows, and phases.
+
+**Requirements:**
+- REQ-GRAPH-01: Opt-in via `graphify.enabled: true` in `.planning/config.json`. When disabled, `/gsd-graphify` prints an activation hint and stops without writing.
+- REQ-GRAPH-02: Slash-command `/gsd-graphify` exposes subcommands `build`, `query <term>`, `status`, `diff`. The programmatic CLI `node gsd-tools.cjs graphify …` additionally exposes `snapshot`, which is also invoked automatically as the final step of `graphify build`.
+- REQ-GRAPH-03: Build runs within the configurable `graphify.build_timeout` (seconds); exceeding the timeout aborts cleanly without leaving a partial graph.
+- REQ-GRAPH-04: `graphify.cjs` falls back to `graph.links` when `graph.edges` is absent so older graph artifacts keep rendering.
+- REQ-GRAPH-05: CJS-only surface; `gsd-sdk query` does not yet register graphify handlers.
+
+**Configuration:** `graphify.enabled`, `graphify.build_timeout`
+**Reference files:** `commands/gsd/graphify.md`, `bin/lib/graphify.cjs`

+# GSD Shipped Surface Inventory
+
+> Authoritative roster of every shipped GSD surface: commands, agents, workflows, references, CLI modules, and hooks. Where the broad docs (AGENTS.md, COMMANDS.md, ARCHITECTURE.md, CLI-TOOLS.md) diverge from the filesystem, treat this file and the repository tree itself as the source of truth.
+
+## How To Use This File
+
+- Counts here are derived from the filesystem at the v1.36.0 pin and may drift between releases. For live counts, run `ls commands/gsd/*.md | wc -l`, `ls agents/gsd-*.md | wc -l`, etc. against the checkout.
+- This file enumerates every shipped surface across all six families (agents, commands, workflows, references, CLI modules, hooks). Broad docs may render narrative or curated subsets; when they disagree with the filesystem, this file and the directory listings are authoritative.
+- New surfaces added after v1.36.0 should land here first, then propagate to the broad docs. The drift-control tests in `tests/inventory-counts.test.cjs`, `tests/commands-doc-parity.test.cjs`, `tests/agents-doc-parity.test.cjs`, `tests/cli-modules-doc-parity.test.cjs`, `tests/hooks-doc-parity.test.cjs`, `tests/architecture-counts.test.cjs`, and `tests/command-count-sync.test.cjs` anchor the counts and roster contents against the filesystem.
+
+---
+
+## Agents (33 shipped)
+
+Full roster at `agents/gsd-*.md`. The "Primary doc" column flags whether [`docs/AGENTS.md`](AGENTS.md) carries a full role card (*primary*), a short stub in the "Advanced and Specialized Agents" section (*advanced stub*), or no coverage (*inventory only*).

+
+**Coverage note.** `docs/AGENTS.md` gives full role cards for 21 primary agents plus concise stubs for the 12 advanced agents. The Agent Tool Permissions Summary in that file covers only the primary 21 agents; the advanced agents' tool lists are captured in their per-agent frontmatter in `agents/gsd-*.md`.

+---
+
+## Commands (82 shipped)
+
+Full roster at `commands/gsd/*.md`. The groupings below mirror `docs/COMMANDS.md` section order; each row carries the command name, a one-line role derived from the command's frontmatter `description:`, and a link to the source file. `tests/command-count-sync.test.cjs` locks the count against the filesystem.

+## Maintenance

+- When a new command, agent, workflow, reference, CLI module, or hook ships, update the corresponding section here before the release is cut.
+- The drift-guard tests under `tests/` (see "How To Use This File" above) assert that every shipped file is enumerated in this inventory. A new file without a matching row here will fail CI.
+- When the filesystem diverges from `docs/ARCHITECTURE.md` counts or from curated-subset docs (e.g. `docs/AGENTS.md`'s primary roster), this file is the source of truth.

+## Spiking & Sketching
+
+Use `/gsd-spike` to validate technical feasibility before planning, and `/gsd-sketch` to explore visual direction before designing. Both store artifacts in `.planning/` and integrate with the project-skills system via their wrap-up companions.
+
+### When to Spike
+
+Spike when you're uncertain whether a technical approach is feasible or want to compare two implementations before committing a phase to one of them.
+
+```
+/gsd-spike                              # Interactive intake — describes the question, you confirm
+/gsd-spike "can we stream LLM tokens through SSE"
+/gsd-spike --quick "websocket vs SSE latency"
+```
+
+Each spike runs 2–5 experiments. Every experiment has:
+- A **Given / When / Then** hypothesis written before any code
+- **Working code** (not pseudocode)
+- A **VALIDATED / INVALIDATED / PARTIAL** verdict with evidence
+
+Results land in `.planning/spikes/NNN-name/README.md` and are indexed in `.planning/spikes/MANIFEST.md`.
+
+Once you have signal, run `/gsd-spike-wrap-up` to package the findings into `.claude/skills/spike-findings-[project]/` — future sessions will load them automatically via project-skills discovery.
+
+### When to Sketch
+
+Sketch when you need to compare layout structures, interaction models, or visual treatments before writing any real component code.
+
+```
+/gsd-sketch                             # Mood intake — explores feel, references, core action
+/gsd-sketch "dashboard layout"
+/gsd-sketch --quick "sidebar navigation"
+/gsd-sketch --text "onboarding flow"    # For non-Claude runtimes (Codex, Gemini, etc.)
+```
+
+Each sketch answers **one design question** with 2–3 variants in a single `index.html` you open directly in a browser — no build step. Variants use tab navigation and shared CSS variables from `themes/default.css`. All interactive elements (hover, click, transitions) are functional.
+
+After picking a winner, run `/gsd-sketch-wrap-up` to capture the visual decisions into `.claude/skills/sketch-findings-[project]/`.
+
+### Spike → Sketch → Phase Flow
+
+```
+/gsd-spike "SSE vs WebSocket"     # Validate the approach
+/gsd-spike-wrap-up                # Package learnings
+
+/gsd-sketch "real-time feed UI"   # Explore the design
+/gsd-sketch-wrap-up               # Package decisions
+
+/gsd-discuss-phase N              # Lock in preferences (now informed by spike + sketch)
+/gsd-plan-phase N                 # Plan with confidence

-- **quality** -- Opus for all decision-making agents, Sonnet for read-only verification. Use when quota is available and the work is critical.
-- **balanced** -- Opus only for planning (where architecture decisions happen), Sonnet for everything else. The default for good reason.
-- **budget** -- Sonnet for anything that writes code, Haiku for research and verification. Use for high-volume work or less critical phases.
-- **inherit** -- All agents use the current session model. Best when switching models dynamically (e.g. OpenCode or Kilo `/model`), or when using Claude Code with non-Anthropic providers (OpenRouter, local models) to avoid unexpected API costs. For non-Claude runtimes (Codex, OpenCode, Gemini CLI, Kilo), the installer sets `resolve_model_ids: "omit"` automatically -- see [Non-Claude Runtimes](#using-non-claude-runtimes-codex-opencode-gemini-cli-kilo).

+### Executor Subagent Gets "Permission denied" on Bash Commands
+
+GSD's `gsd-executor` subagents need write-capable Bash access to a project's standard tooling — `git commit`, `bin/rails`, `bundle exec`, `npm run`, `uv run`, and similar commands. Claude Code's default `~/.claude/settings.json` only allows a narrow set of read-only git commands, so a fresh install will hit "Permission to use Bash has been denied" the first time an executor tries to make a commit or run a build tool.
+
+**Fix: add the required patterns to `~/.claude/settings.json`.**
+
+The patterns you need depend on your stack. Copy the block for your stack and add it to the `permissions.allow` array.
+
+#### Required for all stacks (git + gh)

+}
+```
+
+**Per-project permissions (scoped to one repo):** If you prefer to allow these patterns for a single project rather than globally, add the same `permissions.allow` block to `.claude/settings.local.json` in your project root instead of `~/.claude/settings.json`. Claude Code checks project-local settings first.

+**Interactive guidance:** When an executor is blocked mid-phase, it will identify the exact pattern needed (e.g. `"Bash(bin/rails:*)"`) so you can add it and re-run `/gsd-execute-phase`.

+# GSD SDK query migration (summary blurb)
+
+Copy-paste friendly for Discord and GitHub comments.
+
+---
+
+**@gsd-build/sdk** replaces the untyped, monolithic `gsd-tools.cjs` subprocess with a typed, tested, registry-based query system and **`gsd-sdk query`**, giving GSD structured results, classified errors (`GSDQueryError`), and golden-verified parity with the old CLI. That gives the framework one stable contract instead of a fragile, very large CLI that every workflow had to spawn and parse by hand.
+
+**What users can expect**
+
+- Same GSD commands and workflows they already use.
+- Snappier runs (less Node startup on chained tool calls).
+- Fewer mysterious mid-workflow failures and safer upgrades, because behavior is covered by tests and a single stable contract.
+- Stronger predictability: outputs and failure modes are consistent and explicit.
+
+**Cost and tokens**
+
+The SDK does not automatically reduce LLM tokens per model call. Savings show up indirectly: fewer ambiguous tool results and fewer retry or recovery loops, which often lowers real-world session cost and wall time.
+
+**Agents then vs now**
+
+Agents always followed workflow instructions. What improved is the surface those steps run on. Before, workflows effectively said to shell out to `gsd-tools.cjs` and interpret stdout or JSON with brittle assumptions. Now they point at **`gsd-sdk query`** and typed handlers that return the shapes prompts expect, with clearer error reasons when something must stop or be fixed, so instruction following holds end to end with less thrash from bad parses or silent output drift.

+Scan these roots relative to the project root:
+
+- `.claude/skills/`
+- `.agents/skills/`
+- `.cursor/skills/`
+- `.github/skills/`
+- `./.codex/skills/`
+
+These roots are used for project-specific skills and for the project `CLAUDE.md` skills section.
+
+### Managed Global Roots
+
+Scan these roots relative to the user home directory:
+
+- `~/.claude/skills/`
+- `~/.codex/skills/`
+
+These roots are used for managed runtime installs and inventory reporting.
+
+### Deprecated Import-Only Root
+
+- `~/.claude/get-shit-done/skills/`
+
+This root is kept for legacy migration only. Inventory code may report it, but new installs should not write here.
+
+### Legacy Claude Commands
+
+- `~/.claude/commands/gsd/`
+
+This is not a skills root. Discovery code only checks whether it exists so inventory can report legacy Claude installs.
+
+## Normalization Rules
+
+- Scan only subdirectories that contain `SKILL.md`.
+- Read `name` and `description` from YAML frontmatter.
+- Use the directory name when `name` is missing.
+- Extract trigger hints from body lines that match `TRIGGER when: ...`.
+- Treat `gsd-*` directories as installed framework skills.
+- Treat `~/.claude/get-shit-done/skills/` entries as deprecated/import-only.
+- Treat `~/.claude/commands/gsd/` as legacy command installation metadata, not skills.
+
+## Scanner Behavior
+
+### `sdk/src/query/skills.ts`
+
+- Returns a de-duplicated list of discovered skill names.
+- Scans project roots plus managed global roots.
+- Does not scan the deprecated import-only root.
+
+### `get-shit-done/bin/lib/profile-output.cjs`
+
+- Builds the project `CLAUDE.md` skills section.
+- Scans project roots only.
+- Skips `gsd-*` directories so the project section stays focused on user/project skills.
+- Adds `.codex/skills/` to the project discovery set.
+
+### `get-shit-done/bin/lib/init.cjs`
+
+- Generates the skill inventory object for `skill-manifest`.
+- Reports `skills`, `roots`, `installation`, and `counts`.
+- Marks `gsd_skills_installed` when any discovered skill name starts with `gsd-`.
+- Marks `legacy_claude_commands_installed` when `~/.claude/commands/gsd/` contains `.md` command files.
+
+## Inventory Shape
+
+`skill-manifest` returns a JSON object with:
+
+- `skills`: normalized skill entries
+- `roots`: the canonical roots that were checked
+- `installation`: summary booleans for installed GSD skills and legacy Claude commands
+- `counts`: small inventory counts for downstream consumers
+
+Each skill entry includes:
+
+- `name`
+- `description`
+- `triggers`
+- `path`
+- `file_path`
+- `root`
+- `scope`
+- `installed`
+- `deprecated`

+# Design: /gsd-ultraplan-phase [BETA]
+
+**Date:** 2026-04-17
+**Status:** Approved — ready for implementation
+**Branch:** Beta feature, isolated from core plan pipeline
+
+---
+
+## Summary
+
+A standalone `/gsd-ultraplan-phase` command that offloads GSD's research+plan phase to Claude Code's ultraplan cloud infrastructure. The plan drafts remotely while the terminal stays free, is reviewed in a rich browser UI with inline comments, then imports back into GSD via the existing `/gsd-import --from` workflow.
+
+This is a **beta of a beta**: ultraplan itself is in research preview, so this command is intentionally isolated from the core `/gsd-plan-phase` pipeline to prevent breakage if ultraplan changes.
+
+---
+
+## Scope
+
+**In scope:**
+- New `commands/gsd/ultraplan-phase.md` command
+- New `get-shit-done/workflows/ultraplan-phase.md` workflow
+- Runtime gate: Claude Code only (checks `$CLAUDE_CODE_VERSION`)
+- Builds structured ultraplan prompt from GSD phase context
+- Return path via existing `/gsd-import --from <file>` (no new import logic)
+
+**Out of scope (future):**
+- Parallel next-phase planning during `/gsd-execute-phase`
+- Auto-detection of ultraplan's saved file path
+- Text mode / non-interactive fallback
+
+---
+
+## Architecture
+
+```text
+/gsd-ultraplan-phase [phase]
+        │
+        ├─ Runtime gate (CLAUDE_CODE_VERSION check)
+        ├─ gsd-sdk query init.plan-phase → phase context
+        ├─ Build ultraplan prompt (phase scope + requirements + research)
+        ├─ Display return-path instructions card

+                │
+                [cloud: user reviews, comments, revises]
+                │
+                [browser: Approve → teleport back to terminal]
+                │
+                [terminal: Cancel → saves to file]
+                │
+                /gsd-import --from <saved file path>
+                        │
+                        ├─ Conflict detection
+                        ├─ GSD format conversion
+                        ├─ gsd-plan-checker validation
+                        ├─ ROADMAP.md update
+                        └─ Commit
+```
+
+---
+
+## Command File (`commands/gsd/ultraplan-phase.md`)
+
+Frontmatter:
+- `name: gsd:ultraplan-phase`
+- `description:` includes `[BETA]` marker
+- `argument-hint: [phase-number]`
+- `allowed-tools:` Read, Bash, Glob, Grep
+- References: `@~/.claude/get-shit-done/workflows/ultraplan-phase.md`, ui-brand
+
+---
+
+## Workflow Steps
+
+### 1. Banner
+Display GSD `► ULTRAPLAN PHASE [BETA]` banner.
+
+### 2. Runtime Gate
+```bash
+echo $CLAUDE_CODE_VERSION
+```
+If unset/empty: print error and exit.
+```text
+⚠ /gsd-ultraplan-phase requires Claude Code.
+  /ultraplan is not available in this runtime.
+  Use /gsd-plan-phase for local planning.
+```
+
+### 3. Initialize
+```bash
+INIT=$(gsd-sdk query init.plan-phase "$PHASE")
+```
+Parse: phase number, phase name, phase slug, phase dir, roadmap path, requirements path, research path.
+
+If no `.planning/` exists: error — run `/gsd-new-project` first.
+
+### 4. Build Ultraplan Prompt
+Construct a prompt that includes:
+- Phase identification: `"Plan phase {N}: {phase name}"`
+- Phase scope block from ROADMAP.md
+- Requirements summary (if REQUIREMENTS.md exists)
+- Research summary (if RESEARCH.md exists — reduces cloud redundancy)
+- Output format instruction: produce a GSD PLAN.md with standard frontmatter fields
+
+### 5. Return-Path Instructions Card
+Display prominently before triggering (visible in terminal scroll-back):
+```text
+When ◆ ultraplan ready:
+  1. Open the session link in your browser
+  2. Review, comment, and revise the plan
+  3. When satisfied: "Approve plan and teleport back to terminal"
+  4. At the terminal dialog: choose Cancel (saves plan to file)
+  5. Run: /gsd-import --from <the file path Claude prints>
+```
+
+### 6. Trigger Ultraplan
+```text
+/ultraplan <constructed prompt>
+```
+
+---
+
+## Return Path
+
+No new code needed. The user runs `/gsd-import --from <path>` after ultraplan saves the file. That workflow handles everything: conflict detection, GSD format conversion, plan-checker, ROADMAP update, commit.
+
+---
+
+## Runtime Detection
+
+`$CLAUDE_CODE_VERSION` is set by Claude Code in the shell environment. If unset, the session is not Claude Code (Gemini CLI, Copilot, etc.) and `/ultraplan` does not exist.
+
+---
+
+## Pricing
+
+Ultraplan runs as a standard Claude Code on the web session. For Pro/Max subscribers this is included in the subscription — no extra usage billing (unlike ultrareview which bills $5–20/run). No cost gate needed.
+
+---
+
+## Beta Markers
+
+- `[BETA]` in command description
+- `⚠ BETA` in workflow banner
+- Comment in workflow noting ultraplan is in research preview
+
+---
+
+## Test Coverage
+
+`tests/ultraplan-phase.test.cjs` — structural assertions covering:
+- File existence (command + workflow)
+- Command frontmatter completeness (name, description with `[BETA]`, argument-hint)
+- Command references workflow
+- Workflow has runtime gate (`CLAUDE_CODE_VERSION`)
+- Workflow has beta warning
+- Workflow has init step (gsd-sdk query)
+- Workflow builds ultraplan prompt with phase context
+- Workflow triggers `/ultraplan`
+- Workflow has return-path instructions (Cancel path, `/gsd-import --from`)
+- Workflow does NOT directly implement plan writing (delegates to `/gsd-import`)

+# Smart Discuss — Autonomous Mode
+
+Smart discuss is the autonomous-optimized variant of `gsd-discuss-phase`. It proposes grey area answers in batch tables — the user accepts or overrides per area — then writes an identical CONTEXT.md to what discuss-phase produces.
+
+**Inputs:** `PHASE_NUM` from execute_phase. Run init to get phase paths:
+
+```bash
+PHASE_STATE=$(gsd-sdk query init.phase-op ${PHASE_NUM})
+```
+
+Parse from JSON: `phase_dir`, `phase_slug`, `padded_phase`, `phase_name`.
+
+---
+
+## Sub-step 1: Load prior context
+
+Read project-level and prior phase context to avoid re-asking decided questions.
+
+**Read project files:**
+
+```bash
+cat .planning/PROJECT.md 2>/dev/null || true
+cat .planning/REQUIREMENTS.md 2>/dev/null || true
+cat .planning/STATE.md 2>/dev/null || true
+```
+
+Extract from these:
+- **PROJECT.md** — Vision, principles, non-negotiables, user preferences
+- **REQUIREMENTS.md** — Acceptance criteria, constraints, must-haves vs nice-to-haves
+- **STATE.md** — Current progress, decisions logged so far
+
+**Read all prior CONTEXT.md files:**
+
+```bash
+(find .planning/phases -name "*-CONTEXT.md" 2>/dev/null || true) | sort
+```
+
+For each CONTEXT.md where phase number < current phase:
+- Read the `<decisions>` section — these are locked preferences
+- Read `<specifics>` — particular references or "I want it like X" moments
+- Note patterns (e.g., "user consistently prefers minimal UI", "user rejected verbose output")
+
+**Build internal prior_decisions context** (do not write to file):
+
+```
+<prior_decisions>
+## Project-Level
+- [Key principle or constraint from PROJECT.md]
+- [Requirement affecting this phase from REQUIREMENTS.md]
+
+## From Prior Phases
+### Phase N: [Name]
+- [Decision relevant to current phase]
+- [Preference that establishes a pattern]
+</prior_decisions>
+```
+
+If no prior context exists, continue without — expected for early phases.
+
+---
+
+## Sub-step 2: Scout Codebase
+
+Lightweight codebase scan to inform grey area identification and proposals. Keep under ~5% context.
+
+**Check for existing codebase maps:**
+
+```bash
+ls .planning/codebase/*.md 2>/dev/null || true
+```
+
+**If codebase maps exist:** Read the most relevant ones (CONVENTIONS.md, STRUCTURE.md, STACK.md based on phase type). Extract reusable components, established patterns, integration points. Skip to building context below.
+
+**If no codebase maps, do targeted grep:**
+
+Extract key terms from the phase goal. Search for related files:
+
+```bash
+grep -rl "{term1}\|{term2}" src/ app/ --include="*.ts" --include="*.tsx" --include="*.js" --include="*.jsx" 2>/dev/null | head -10 || true
+ls src/components/ src/hooks/ src/lib/ src/utils/ 2>/dev/null || true
+```
+
+Read the 3-5 most relevant files to understand existing patterns.
+
+**Build internal codebase_context** (do not write to file):
+- **Reusable assets** — existing components, hooks, utilities usable in this phase
+- **Established patterns** — how the codebase does state management, styling, data fetching
+- **Integration points** — where new code connects (routes, nav, providers)
+
+---
+
+## Sub-step 3: Analyze Phase and Generate Proposals
+
+**Get phase details:**
+
+```bash
+DETAIL=$(gsd-sdk query roadmap.get-phase ${PHASE_NUM})
+```
+
+Extract `goal`, `requirements`, `success_criteria` from the JSON response.
+
+**Infrastructure detection — check FIRST before generating grey areas:**
+
+A phase is pure infrastructure when ALL of these are true:
+1. Goal keywords match: "scaffolding", "plumbing", "setup", "configuration", "migration", "refactor", "rename", "restructure", "upgrade", "infrastructure"
+2. AND success criteria are all technical: "file exists", "test passes", "config valid", "command runs"
+3. AND no user-facing behavior is described (no "users can", "displays", "shows", "presents")
+
+**If infrastructure-only:** Skip Sub-step 4. Jump directly to Sub-step 5 with minimal CONTEXT.md. Display:
+
+```
+Phase ${PHASE_NUM}: Infrastructure phase — skipping discuss, writing minimal context.
+```
+
+Use these defaults for the CONTEXT.md:
+- `<domain>`: Phase boundary from ROADMAP goal
+- `<decisions>`: Single "### Claude's Discretion" subsection — "All implementation choices are at Claude's discretion — pure infrastructure phase"
+- `<code_context>`: Whatever the codebase scout found
+- `<specifics>`: "No specific requirements — infrastructure phase"
+- `<deferred>`: "None"
+
+**If NOT infrastructure — generate grey area proposals:**
+
+Determine domain type from the phase goal:
+- Something users **SEE** → visual: layout, interactions, states, density
+- Something users **CALL** → interface: contracts, responses, errors, auth
+- Something users **RUN** → execution: invocation, output, behavior modes, flags
+- Something users **READ** → content: structure, tone, depth, flow
+- Something being **ORGANIZED** → organization: criteria, grouping, exceptions, naming
+
+Check prior_decisions — skip grey areas already decided in prior phases.
+
+Generate **3-4 grey areas** with **~4 questions each**. For each question:
+- **Pre-select a recommended answer** based on: prior decisions (consistency), codebase patterns (reuse), domain conventions (standard approaches), ROADMAP success criteria
+- Generate **1-2 alternatives** per question
+- **Annotate** with prior decision context ("You decided X in Phase N") and code context ("Component Y exists with Z variants") where relevant
+
+---
+
+## Sub-step 4: Present Proposals Per Area
+
+Present grey areas **one at a time**. For each area (M of N):
+
+Display a table:
+
+```
+### Grey Area {M}/{N}: {Area Name}
+
+| # | Question | ✅ Recommended | Alternative(s) |
+|---|----------|---------------|-----------------|
+| 1 | {question} | {answer} — {rationale} | {alt1}; {alt2} |
+| 2 | {question} | {answer} — {rationale} | {alt1} |
+| 3 | {question} | {answer} — {rationale} | {alt1}; {alt2} |
+| 4 | {question} | {answer} — {rationale} | {alt1} |
+```
+
+Then prompt the user via **AskUserQuestion**:
+- **header:** "Area {M}/{N}"
+- **question:** "Accept these answers for {Area Name}?"
+- **options:** Build dynamically — always "Accept all" first, then "Change Q1" through "Change QN" for each question (up to 4), then "Discuss deeper" last. Cap at 6 explicit options max (AskUserQuestion adds "Other" automatically).
+
+**On "Accept all":** Record all recommended answers for this area. Move to next area.
+
+**On "Change QN":** Use AskUserQuestion with the alternatives for that specific question:
+- **header:** "{Area Name}"
+- **question:** "Q{N}: {question text}"
+- **options:** List the 1-2 alternatives plus "You decide" (maps to Claude's Discretion)
+
+Record the user's choice. Re-display the updated table with the change reflected. Re-present the full acceptance prompt so the user can make additional changes or accept.
+
+**On "Discuss deeper":** Switch to interactive mode for this area only — ask questions one at a time using AskUserQuestion with 2-3 concrete options per question plus "You decide". After 4 questions, prompt:
+- **header:** "{Area Name}"
+- **question:** "More questions about {area name}, or move to next?"
+- **options:** "More questions" / "Next area"
+
+If "More questions", ask 4 more. If "Next area", display final summary table of captured answers for this area and move on.
+
+**On "Other" (free text):** Interpret as either a specific change request or general feedback. Incorporate into the area's decisions, re-display updated table, re-present acceptance prompt.
+
+**Scope creep handling:** If user mentions something outside the phase domain:
+
+```
+"{Feature} sounds like a new capability — that belongs in its own phase.
+I'll note it as a deferred idea.
+
+Back to {current area}: {return to current question}"
+```
+
+Track deferred ideas internally for inclusion in CONTEXT.md.
+
+---
+
+## Sub-step 5: Write CONTEXT.md
+
+After all areas are resolved (or infrastructure skip), write the CONTEXT.md file.
+
+**File path:** `${phase_dir}/${padded_phase}-CONTEXT.md`
+
+Use **exactly** this structure (identical to discuss-phase output):
+
+```markdown
+# Phase {PHASE_NUM}: {Phase Name} - Context
+
+**Gathered:** {date}
+**Status:** Ready for planning
+

+
+</code_context>
+
+<specifics>
+## Specific Ideas
+
+{Any specific references or "I want it like X" from discussion}
+{If none: "No specific requirements — open to standard approaches"}
+
+</specifics>
+
+<deferred>
+## Deferred Ideas
+
+{Ideas captured but out of scope for this phase}
+{If none: "None — discussion stayed within phase scope"}
+
+</deferred>
+```
+
+Write the file.
+
+**Commit:**
+
+```bash
+gsd-sdk query commit "docs(${PADDED_PHASE}): smart discuss context" "${phase_dir}/${padded_phase}-CONTEXT.md"
+```
+
+Display confirmation:
+
+```
+Created: {path}
+Decisions captured: {count} across {area_count} areas
+```

+# Debugger Philosophy
+
+Evergreen debugging disciplines — applies across every bug, every language, every system. Loaded by `gsd-debugger` via `@file` include.
+
+## User = Reporter, Claude = Investigator
+
+The user knows:
+- What they expected to happen
+- What actually happened
+- Error messages they saw
+- When it started / if it ever worked
+
+The user does NOT know (don't ask):
+- What's causing the bug
+- Which file has the problem
+- What the fix should be
+
+Ask about experience. Investigate the cause yourself.
+
+## Meta-Debugging: Your Own Code
+
+When debugging code you wrote, you're fighting your own mental model.
+
+**Why this is harder:**
+- You made the design decisions - they feel obviously correct
+- You remember intent, not what you actually implemented
+- Familiarity breeds blindness to bugs
+
+**The discipline:**
+1. **Treat your code as foreign** - Read it as if someone else wrote it
+2. **Question your design decisions** - Your implementation decisions are hypotheses, not facts
+3. **Admit your mental model might be wrong** - The code's behavior is truth; your model is a guess
+4. **Prioritize code you touched** - If you modified 100 lines and something breaks, those are prime suspects
+
+**The hardest admission:** "I implemented this wrong." Not "requirements were unclear" - YOU made an error.
+
+## Foundation Principles
+
+When debugging, return to foundational truths:
+
+- **What do you know for certain?** Observable facts, not assumptions
+- **What are you assuming?** "This library should work this way" - have you verified?
+- **Strip away everything you think you know.** Build understanding from observable facts.
+
+## Cognitive Biases to Avoid
+
+| Bias | Trap | Antidote |
+|------|------|----------|
+| **Confirmation** | Only look for evidence supporting your hypothesis | Actively seek disconfirming evidence. "What would prove me wrong?" |
+| **Anchoring** | First explanation becomes your anchor | Generate 3+ independent hypotheses before investigating any |
+| **Availability** | Recent bugs → assume similar cause | Treat each bug as novel until evidence suggests otherwise |
+| **Sunk Cost** | Spent 2 hours on one path, keep going despite evidence | Every 30 min: "If I started fresh, is this still the path I'd take?" |
+
+## Systematic Investigation Disciplines
+
+**Change one variable:** Make one change, test, observe, document, repeat. Multiple changes = no idea what mattered.
+
+**Complete reading:** Read entire functions, not just "relevant" lines. Read imports, config, tests. Skimming misses crucial details.
+
+**Embrace not knowing:** "I don't know why this fails" = good (now you can investigate). "It must be X" = dangerous (you've stopped thinking).
+
+## When to Restart
+
+Consider starting over when:
+1. **2+ hours with no progress** - You're likely tunnel-visioned
+2. **3+ "fixes" that didn't work** - Your mental model is wrong
+3. **You can't explain the current behavior** - Don't add changes on top of confusion
+4. **You're debugging the debugger** - Something fundamental is wrong
+5. **The fix works but you don't know why** - This isn't fixed, this is luck
+
+**Restart protocol:**
+1. Close all files and terminals
+2. Write down what you know for certain
+3. Write down what you've ruled out
+4. List new hypotheses (different from before)
+5. Begin again from Phase 1: Evidence Gathering

+# Doc Conflict Engine
+
+Shared conflict-detection contract for workflows that ingest external content into `.planning/` (e.g., `/gsd-import`, `/gsd-ingest-docs`). Defines the report format, severity semantics, and safety-gate behavior. The specific checks that populate each severity bucket are workflow-specific and defined by the calling workflow.
+
+---
+
+## Severity Semantics
+
+- **[BLOCKER]** — Unsafe to proceed. The workflow MUST exit without writing any destination files. Used for contradictions of locked decisions, missing prerequisites, and impossible targets.
+- **[WARNING]** — Ambiguous or partially overlapping. The workflow MUST surface the warning and obtain explicit user approval before writing. Never auto-approve.
+- **[INFO]** — Informational only. No gate; no user prompt required. Included in the report for transparency.
+
+---
+
+## Report Format
+
+Plain-text, never markdown tables (no `|---|`). The report is rendered to the user verbatim.
+
+```
+## Conflict Detection Report
+
+### BLOCKERS ({N})
+
+[BLOCKER] {Short title}
+  Found: {what the incoming content says}
+  Expected: {what existing project context requires}
+  → {Specific action to resolve}
+
+### WARNINGS ({N})
+
+[WARNING] {Short title}
+  Found: {what was detected}
+  Impact: {what could go wrong}
+  → {Suggested action}
+
+### INFO ({N})
+
+[INFO] {Short title}
+  Note: {relevant information}
+```
+
+Every entry requires `Found:` plus one of `Expected:`/`Impact:`/`Note:` plus (for BLOCKER/WARNING) a `→` remediation line.
+
+---
+
+## Safety Gate
+
+**If any [BLOCKER] exists:**
+
+Display:
+```
+GSD > BLOCKED: {N} blockers must be resolved before {operation} can proceed.
+```
+
+Exit WITHOUT writing any destination files. The gate must hold regardless of WARNING/INFO counts.
+
+**If only WARNINGS and/or INFO (no blockers):**
+
+Render the full report, then prompt for approval via the `approve-revise-abort` or `yes-no` pattern from `references/gate-prompts.md`. Respect text mode (see the workflow's own text-mode handling). If the user aborts, exit cleanly with a cancellation message.
+
+**If the report is empty (no entries in any bucket):**
+
+Proceed silently or display `GSD > No conflicts detected.` Either is acceptable; workflows choose based on verbosity context.
+
+---
+
+## Workflow Responsibilities
+
+Each workflow that consumes this contract must define:
+
+1. **Its own check list per bucket** — which conditions are BLOCKER vs WARNING vs INFO. These are domain-specific (plan ingestion checks are not doc ingestion checks).
+2. **The loaded context** — what it reads (ROADMAP.md, PROJECT.md, REQUIREMENTS.md, CONTEXT.md, intel files) before running checks.
+3. **The operation noun** — substituted into the BLOCKED banner (`import`, `ingest`, etc.).
+
+The workflow MUST NOT:
+
+- Introduce new severity levels beyond BLOCKER/WARNING/INFO
+- Render the report as a markdown table
+- Write any destination file when BLOCKERs exist
+- Auto-approve past WARNINGs without user input
+
+---
+
+## Anti-Patterns
+
+Do NOT:
+
+- Use markdown tables (`|---|`) in the conflict report — use plain-text labels as shown above
+- Bypass the safety gate when BLOCKERs exist — no exceptions for "minor" blockers
+- Fold WARNINGs into INFO to skip the approval prompt — if user input is needed, it is a WARNING
+- Re-invent severity labels per workflow — the three-level taxonomy is fixed

+# Project Skills Discovery
+
+Before execution, check for project-defined skills and apply their rules.
+
+**Discovery steps (shared across all GSD agents):**
+1. Check `.claude/skills/` or `.agents/skills/` directory — if neither exists, skip.
+2. List available skills (subdirectories).
+3. Read `SKILL.md` for each skill (lightweight index, typically ~130 lines).
+4. Load specific `rules/*.md` files only as needed during the current task.
+5. Do NOT load full `AGENTS.md` files — they are large (100KB+) and cost significant context.
+
+**Application** — how to apply the loaded rules depends on the calling agent:
+- Planners account for project skill patterns and conventions in the plan.
+- Executors follow skill rules relevant to the task being implemented.
+- Researchers ensure research output accounts for project skill patterns.
+- Verifiers apply skill rules when scanning for anti-patterns and verifying quality.
+- Debuggers follow skill rules relevant to the bug being investigated and the fix being applied.
+
+The caller's agent file should specify which application applies.

+# Making Sketches Feel Alive
+
+Static mockups are barely better than screenshots. Every interactive element in a sketch must respond to interaction.
+
+## Required Interactivity
+
+| Element | Must Have |
+|---------|-----------|
+| Buttons | Click handler with visible feedback (state change, animation, toast) |
+| Forms | Input validation on blur, submit handler that shows success state |
+| Lists | Add/remove items, empty state, populated state |
+| Toggles/switches | Working toggle with visible state change |
+| Tabs/nav | Click to switch content |
+| Modals/drawers | Open/close with transition |
+| Hover states | Every clickable element needs a hover effect |
+| Dropdowns | Open/close, item selection |
+
+## Transitions
+
+Add `transition: all 0.15s ease` as a baseline to interactive elements. Subtle motion makes the sketch feel real and helps judge whether the interaction pattern works.
+
+## Fake the Backend
+
+If the sketch shows a "Save" button, clicking it should show a brief loading state then a success message. If it shows a search bar, typing should filter hardcoded results. The goal is to feel the full interaction loop, not just see the resting state.
+
+## State Cycling
+
+If the sketch has multiple states (empty, loading, populated, error), include buttons to cycle through them. Label each state clearly. This lets the user experience how the design handles different data conditions.
+
+## Implementation
+
+Use vanilla JS in inline `<script>` tags. No frameworks, no build step. Keep it simple:
+
+```html
+<script>
+  // Toggle a panel
+  document.querySelector('.panel-toggle').addEventListener('click', (e) => {
+    e.target.closest('.panel').classList.toggle('collapsed');

+# Shared Theme System
+
+All sketches share a CSS variable theme so design decisions compound across sketches.
+
+## Setup
+
+On the first sketch, create `.planning/sketches/themes/` with a default theme:
+
+```
+.planning/sketches/
+  themes/
+    default.css         <- all sketches link to this
+  001-dashboard-layout/
+    index.html          <- links to ../themes/default.css
+```
+
+## Theme File Structure
+
+Each theme defines CSS custom properties only — no component styles, no layout rules. Just the visual vocabulary:
+
+```css
+:root {
+  /* Colors */
+  --color-bg: #fafafa;
+  --color-surface: #ffffff;
+  --color-border: #e5e5e5;

+  --shadow-lg: 0 10px 15px rgba(0,0,0,0.1);
+}
+```
+
+Adapt the default theme to match the mood/direction established during intake. The values above are a starting point — change colors, fonts, spacing, and shapes to match the agreed aesthetic.
+
+## Linking
+
+Every sketch links to the theme:
+
+```html
+<link rel="stylesheet" href="../themes/default.css">
+```
+
+## Creating New Themes
+
+When a sketch reveals an aesthetic fork ("should this feel clinical or warm?"), create both as theme files rather than arguing about it. The user can switch and feel the difference.
+
+Name themes descriptively: `midnight.css`, `warm-minimal.css`, `brutalist.css`.
+
+## Theme Switcher
+
+Include in every sketch (part of the sketch toolbar):
+
+```html
+<select id="theme-switcher" onchange="document.querySelector('link[href*=themes]').href='../themes/'+this.value+'.css'">
+  <option value="default">Default</option>
+</select>
+```
+
+Dynamically populate options by listing available theme files, or hardcode the known themes.

+# Sketch Toolbar
+
+Include a small floating toolbar in every sketch. It provides utilities without competing with the actual design.
+
+## Implementation
+
+A small `<div>` fixed to the bottom-right, semi-transparent, expands on hover:
+
+```html
+<div id="sketch-tools" style="position:fixed;bottom:12px;right:12px;z-index:9999;font-family:system-ui;font-size:12px;background:rgba(0,0,0,0.7);color:white;padding:8px 12px;border-radius:8px;opacity:0.4;transition:opacity 0.2s;" onmouseenter="this.style.opacity='1'" onmouseleave="this.style.opacity='0.4'">
+  <!-- Theme switcher -->
+  <!-- Viewport buttons -->
+  <!-- Annotation toggle -->
+</div>
+```
+
+## Components
+
+### Theme Switcher
+
+A dropdown that swaps the theme CSS file at runtime:
+
+```html
+<select onchange="document.querySelector('link[href*=themes]').href='../themes/'+this.value+'.css'">
+  <option value="default">Default</option>
+</select>
+```
+
+### Viewport Preview
+
+Three buttons that constrain the sketch content area to standard widths:
+
+- Phone: 375px
+- Tablet: 768px
+- Desktop: 1280px (or full width)
+
+Implemented by wrapping sketch content in a container and adjusting its `max-width`.
+
+### Annotation Mode
+
+A toggle that overlays spacing values, color hex codes, and font sizes on hover. Implemented as a JS snippet that reads computed styles and shows them in a tooltip. Helps understand visual decisions without opening dev tools.
+
+## Styling
+
+The toolbar should be unobtrusive — small, dark, semi-transparent. It should never compete with the sketch visually. Style it independently of the theme (hardcoded dark background, white text).

+## Marking the Winner
+
+After the user picks a direction, add a visual indicator to the winning tab:
+

+<button class="variant-tab active">A: Sidebar Layout ★ Selected</button>
+```
+
+Keep all variants visible and navigable — the winner is highlighted, not the only option.
+
+## Side-by-Side (for small variants)
+
+When comparing small elements (button styles, card layouts, icon treatments), render them next to each other with labels rather than using tabs:
+
+```html
+<div style="display:grid;grid-template-columns:repeat(3,1fr);gap:24px;padding:24px;">
+  <div>
+    <h3>A: Rounded</h3>
+    <!-- variant content -->
+  </div>
+  <div>
+    <h3>B: Sharp</h3>
+    <!-- variant content -->
+  </div>
+  <div>
+    <h3>C: Pill</h3>
+    <!-- variant content -->
+  </div>
+</div>
+```
+
+## Variant Count
+
+- **First round (dramatic):** 2-3 meaningfully different approaches
+- **Refinement rounds:** 2-3 subtle variations within the chosen direction
+- **Never more than 4** — more than that overwhelms. If there are 5+ options, narrow before showing.
+
+## Synthesis Variants
+
+When the user cherry-picks elements across variants, create a new variant tab labeled descriptively:
+
+```html
+<button class="variant-tab" onclick="showVariant('synth1')">Synthesis: A's layout + C's palette</button>
+```

+# Phase Spec Template
+
+Template for `.planning/phases/XX-name/{phase_num}-SPEC.md` — locks requirements before discuss-phase.
+
+**Purpose:** Capture WHAT a phase delivers and WHY, with enough precision that requirements are falsifiable. discuss-phase reads this file and focuses on HOW to implement (skipping "what/why" questions already answered here).
+
+**Key principle:** Every requirement must be falsifiable — you can write a test or check that proves it was met or not. Vague requirements like "improve performance" are not allowed.
+
+**Downstream consumers:**
+- `discuss-phase` — reads SPEC.md at startup; treats Requirements, Boundaries, and Acceptance Criteria as locked; skips "what/why" questions
+- `gsd-planner` — reads locked requirements to constrain plan scope
+- `gsd-verifier` — uses acceptance criteria as explicit pass/fail checks

+
+**Example 1: Feature addition (Post Feed)**
+
+```markdown
+# Phase 3: Post Feed — Specification
+
+**Created:** 2025-01-20
+**Ambiguity score:** 0.12
+**Requirements:** 4 locked
+
+## Goal
+
+Users can scroll through posts from accounts they follow, with new posts available after pull-to-refresh.
+
+## Background
+
+The database has a `posts` table and `follows` table. No feed query or feed UI exists today. The home screen shows a placeholder "Your feed will appear here." This phase builds the feed query, API endpoint, and the feed list component.
+
+## Requirements
+
+1. **Feed query**: Returns posts from followed accounts ordered by creation time, descending.
+   - Current: No feed query exists — `posts` table is queried directly only from profile pages
+   - Target: `GET /api/feed` returns paginated posts from followed accounts, newest first, max 20 per page
+   - Acceptance: Query returns correct posts for a user who follows 3 accounts with known post counts; cursor-based pagination advances correctly
+
+2. **Feed display**: Posts display in a scrollable card list.
+   - Current: Home screen shows static placeholder text
+   - Target: Home screen renders feed cards with author, timestamp, post content, and reaction count
+   - Acceptance: Feed renders without error for 0 posts (empty state shown), 1 post, and 20+ posts
+
+3. **Pull-to-refresh**: User can refresh the feed manually.
+   - Current: No refresh mechanism exists
+   - Target: Pull-down gesture triggers refetch; new posts appear at top of list
+   - Acceptance: After a new post is created in test, pull-to-refresh shows the new post without full app restart
+
+4. **New posts indicator**: When new posts arrive, a banner appears instead of auto-scrolling.
+   - Current: No such mechanism
+   - Target: "3 new posts" banner appears when refetch returns posts newer than the oldest visible post; tapping banner scrolls to top and shows new posts
+   - Acceptance: Banner appears for ≥1 new post, does not appear when no new posts, tap navigates to top
+
+## Boundaries
+
+**In scope:**
+- Feed query (backend) — posts from followed accounts, paginated
+- Feed list UI (frontend) — post cards with author, timestamp, content, reaction counts
+- Pull-to-refresh gesture
+- New posts indicator banner
+- Empty state when user follows no one or no posts exist
+
+**Out of scope:**
+- Creating posts — that is Phase 4
+- Reacting to posts — that is Phase 5
+- Following/unfollowing accounts — that is Phase 2 (already done)
+- Push notifications for new posts — separate backlog item
+
+## Constraints
+
+- Feed query must use cursor-based pagination (not offset) — the database has 500K+ posts and offset pagination is unacceptably slow beyond page 3
+- The feed card component must reuse the existing `<AvatarImage>` component from Phase 2
+
+## Acceptance Criteria
+
+- [ ] `GET /api/feed` returns posts only from followed accounts (not all posts)
+- [ ] `GET /api/feed` supports `cursor` parameter for pagination
+- [ ] Feed renders correctly at 0, 1, and 20+ posts
+- [ ] Pull-to-refresh triggers refetch
+- [ ] New posts indicator appears when posts newer than current view exist
+- [ ] Empty state renders when user follows no one

+**Example 2: CLI tool (Database backup)**
+
+```markdown
+# Phase 2: Backup Command — Specification
+
+**Created:** 2025-01-20
+**Ambiguity score:** 0.15
+**Requirements:** 3 locked
+
+## Goal
+
+A `gsd backup` CLI command creates a reproducible database snapshot that can be restored by `gsd restore` (a separate phase).
+
+## Background
+
+No backup tooling exists. The project uses PostgreSQL. Developers currently use `pg_dump` manually — there is no standardized process, no output naming convention, and no CI integration. Three incidents in the last quarter involved restoring from wrong or corrupt dumps.
+
+## Requirements
+
+1. **Backup creation**: CLI command executes a full database backup.
+   - Current: No `backup` subcommand exists in the CLI
+   - Target: `gsd backup` connects to the database (via `DATABASE_URL` env or `--db` flag), runs pg_dump, writes output to `./backups/YYYY-MM-DD_HH-MM-SS.dump`
+   - Acceptance: Running `gsd backup` on a test database creates a `.dump` file; running `pg_restore` on that file recreates the database without error
+
+2. **Network retry**: Transient network failures are retried automatically.
+   - Current: pg_dump fails immediately on network error
+   - Target: Backup retries up to 3 times with 5-second delay; 4th failure exits with code 1 and a message to stderr
+   - Acceptance: Simulating 2 sequential network failures causes 2 retries then success; simulating 4 failures causes exit code 1 and stderr message
+
+3. **Partial cleanup**: Failed backups do not leave corrupt files.
+   - Current: Manual pg_dump leaves partial files on failure
+   - Target: If backup fails after starting, the partial `.dump` file is deleted before exit
+   - Acceptance: After a simulated failure mid-dump, no `.dump` file exists in `./backups/`
+
+## Boundaries
+
+**In scope:**
+- `gsd backup` subcommand (full dump only)
+- Output to `./backups/` directory (created if missing)
+- Network retry (3 attempts)
+- Partial file cleanup on failure
+
+**Out of scope:**
+- `gsd restore` — that is Phase 3
+- Incremental backups — separate backlog item (full dump only for now)
+- S3 or remote storage — separate backlog item
+- Encryption — separate backlog item
+- Scheduled/cron backups — separate backlog item
+
+## Constraints
+
+- Must use `pg_dump` (not a custom query) — ensures compatibility with standard `pg_restore`
+- `--no-retry` flag must be available for CI use (fail fast, no retries)
+
+## Acceptance Criteria
+
+- [ ] `gsd backup` creates a `.dump` file in `./backups/YYYY-MM-DD_HH-MM-SS.dump` format
+- [ ] `gsd backup` uses `DATABASE_URL` env var or `--db` flag for connection
+- [ ] 3 retries on network failure, then exit code 1 with stderr message
+- [ ] `--no-retry` flag skips retries and fails immediately on first error
+- [ ] No partial `.dump` file left after a failed backup

+<guidelines>
+**Every requirement needs all three fields:**
+- Current: grounds the requirement in reality — what exists today?
+- Target: the concrete change — not "improve X" but "X becomes Y"
+- Acceptance: the falsifiable check — how does a verifier confirm this?
+
+**Ambiguity Report must reflect the actual interview.** If a dimension is below minimum, mark it ⚠ — the planner knows to treat it as an assumption rather than a locked requirement.
+
+**Interview Log is evidence of rigor.** Don't skip it. It shows that requirements came from discovery, not assumption.
+
+**Boundaries protect the phase from scope creep.** The out-of-scope list with reasoning is as important as the in-scope list. Future phases that touch adjacent areas can point to this SPEC.md to understand what was intentionally excluded.
+
+**SPEC.md is a one-way door for requirements.** discuss-phase will treat these as locked. If requirements change after SPEC.md is written, the user should update SPEC.md first, then re-run discuss-phase.
+
+**SPEC.md does NOT replace CONTEXT.md.** They serve different purposes:
+- SPEC.md: what the phase delivers (requirements, boundaries, acceptance criteria)
+- CONTEXT.md: how the phase will be implemented (decisions, patterns, tradeoffs)
+
+discuss-phase generates CONTEXT.md after reading SPEC.md.
