fix(#2697): replace retired /gsd: prefix with /gsd- in all user-facing text (#2699)

All workflow, command, reference, template, and tool-output files that
surfaced /gsd:<cmd> as a user-typed slash command have been updated to
use /gsd-<cmd>, matching the Claude Code skill directory name.

Closes #2697

+

-- **Gates taxonomy** — 4 canonical gate types (pre-flight, revision, escalation, abort) wired into plan-checker and verifier agents

-- **Post-merge hunk verification** — `reapply-patches` detects silently dropped hunks after three-way merge
-- **detectConfigDir fix** — Claude Code users no longer see false "update available" warnings when multiple runtimes are installed
-- **3 bug fixes** — Milestone backlog preservation, detectConfigDir priority, and npm package manifest
+- **Spiking & sketching** — `/gsd-spike` runs 2–5 focused experiments with Given/When/Then verdicts; `/gsd-sketch` produces 2–3 interactive HTML mockup variants per design question — both store artifacts in `.planning/` and pair with wrap-up commands to package findings into project-local skills

-- What they expected to happen

-- Error messages they saw
-- When it started / if it ever worked

-
-## 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 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**

+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.
+

+
+<process>
+
+<step name="load_classifications">
+Read every `*.json` in `CLASSIFICATIONS_DIR`. Build an in-memory index keyed by `source_path`. Count by type.

+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

+
+Project root: ${CWD}

+
+## Instructions
+
+1. **Invoke graphify:**
+   Run from the project root:
+   ```
+   graphify . --update
+   ```
+   This builds the knowledge graph with SHA256 incremental caching.
+   Timeout: up to 5 minutes (or as configured via graphify.build_timeout).
+
+2. **Validate output:**
+   Check that graphify-out/graph.json exists and is valid JSON with nodes[] and edges[] arrays.
+   If graphify exited non-zero or graph.json is not parseable, output:
+   ## GRAPHIFY BUILD FAILED
+   Include the stderr output for debugging. Do NOT delete .planning/graphs/ -- prior valid graph remains available.
+
+3. **Copy artifacts to .planning/graphs/:**
+   ```
+   cp graphify-out/graph.json .planning/graphs/graph.json
+   cp graphify-out/graph.html .planning/graphs/graph.html
+   cp graphify-out/GRAPH_REPORT.md .planning/graphs/GRAPH_REPORT.md
+   ```
+   These three files are the build output consumed by query, status, and diff commands.
+
+4. **Write diff snapshot:**
+   ```
+   node \"$HOME/.claude/get-shit-done/bin/gsd-tools.cjs\" graphify build snapshot
+   ```
+   This creates .planning/graphs/.last-build-snapshot.json for future diff comparisons.
+
+5. **Report build summary:**
+   ```
+   node \"$HOME/.claude/get-shit-done/bin/gsd-tools.cjs\" graphify status
+   ```
+   Display the node count, edge count, and hyperedge count from the status output.
+
+When complete, output: ## GRAPHIFY BUILD COMPLETE with the summary counts.
+If something fails at any step, output: ## GRAPHIFY BUILD FAILED with details."
+)
+```
+
+Wait for the agent to complete.
+
+---
+
+## Anti-Patterns
+
+1. DO NOT spawn an agent for query/status/diff operations -- these are inline CLI calls
+2. DO NOT modify graph files directly -- the build agent handles writes
+3. DO NOT skip the config gate check
+4. DO NOT use gsd-tools config get-value for the config gate -- it exits on missing keys

+Cross-AI plan convergence loop — an outer revision gate around gsd-review and gsd-planner.
+Repeatedly: review plans with external AI CLIs → if HIGH concerns found → replan with --reviews feedback → re-review. Stops when no HIGH concerns remain or max cycles reached.
+
+**Flow:** Agent→Skill("gsd-plan-phase") → Agent→Skill("gsd-review") → check HIGHs → Agent→Skill("gsd-plan-phase --reviews") → Agent→Skill("gsd-review") → ... → Converge or escalate
+
+Replaces gsd-plan-phase's internal gsd-plan-checker with external AI reviewers (codex, gemini, etc.). Each step runs inside an isolated Agent that calls the corresponding existing Skill — orchestrator only does loop control.
+
+**Orchestrator role:** Parse arguments, validate phase, spawn Agents for existing Skills, check HIGHs, stall detection, escalation gate.

+## 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 |
+|----------|-------|

+| **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
+

+| `XL`      | 1700 — top-level orchestrators (`execute-phase`, `plan-phase`, `new-project`) |

+| `DEFAULT` | 1000 — focused single-purpose workflows (the target tier) |
+
+`workflows/discuss-phase.md` is held to a stricter <500-line ceiling per
+issue #2551. When a workflow grows beyond its tier, extract per-mode bodies
+into `workflows/<workflow>/modes/<mode>.md`, templates into
+`workflows/<workflow>/templates/`, and shared knowledge into
+`get-shit-done/references/`. The parent file becomes a thin dispatcher that
+Reads only the mode and template files needed for the current invocation.
+
+`workflows/discuss-phase/` is the canonical example of this pattern —
+parent dispatches, modes/ holds per-flag behavior (`power.md`, `all.md`,
+`auto.md`, `chain.md`, `text.md`, `batch.md`, `analyze.md`, `default.md`,

 2. **STATE.md file locking** — All `writeStateMd()` calls use lockfile-based mutual exclusion (`STATE.md.lock` with `O_EXCL` atomic creation). This prevents the read-modify-write race condition where two agents read STATE.md, modify different fields, and the last writer overwrites the other's changes. Includes stale lock detection (10s timeout) and spin-wait with jitter.

+### Post-Execute Codebase Drift Gate (#2003)
+
+After the last wave of `/gsd:execute-phase` commits, the workflow runs a
+non-blocking `codebase_drift_gate` step (between `schema_drift_gate` and
+`verify_phase_goal`). It compares the diff `last_mapped_commit..HEAD`
+against `.planning/codebase/STRUCTURE.md` and counts four kinds of
+structural elements:
+
+1. New directories outside mapped paths
+2. New barrel exports at `(packages|apps)/<name>/src/index.*`
+3. New migration files
+4. New route modules under `routes/` or `api/`
+
+If the count meets `workflow.drift_threshold` (default 3), the gate either
+**warns** (default) with the suggested `/gsd:map-codebase --paths …` command,
+or **auto-remaps** (`workflow.drift_action = auto-remap`) by spawning
+`gsd-codebase-mapper` scoped to the affected paths. Any error in detection
+or remap is logged and the phase continues — drift detection cannot fail
+verification.
+
+`last_mapped_commit` lives in YAML frontmatter at the top of each
+`.planning/codebase/*.md` file; `bin/lib/drift.cjs` provides
+`readMappedCommit` and `writeMappedCommit` round-trip helpers.

+## `/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>`.

+
+## SDK and programmatic access
+
+Use this when authoring workflows, not when you only need the command list below.
+
+**1. CLI — `gsd-sdk query <argv…>`**
+
+- Resolves argv with the same **longest-prefix** rules as the typed registry (`resolveQueryArgv` in `sdk/src/query/registry.ts`). Unregistered commands **fail fast** — use `node …/gsd-tools.cjs` only for handlers not in the registry.
+- Full matrix (CJS command → registry key, CLI-only tools, aliases, golden tiers): [sdk/src/query/QUERY-HANDLERS.md](../sdk/src/query/QUERY-HANDLERS.md).
+
+**2. TypeScript — `@gsd-build/sdk` (`GSDTools`, `createRegistry`)**
+
+- `GSDTools` (used by `PhaseRunner`, `InitRunner`, and `GSD.createTools()`) always shells out to `gsd-tools.cjs` via `execFile` — there is no in-process registry path on this class. For typed, in-process dispatch use `createRegistry()` from `sdk/src/query/index.ts`, or invoke `gsd-sdk query` (see [QUERY-HANDLERS.md](../sdk/src/query/QUERY-HANDLERS.md)).
+- Conventions: mutation event wiring, `GSDError` vs `{ data: { error } }`, locks, and stubs — [QUERY-HANDLERS.md](../sdk/src/query/QUERY-HANDLERS.md).
+
+**CJS → SDK examples (same project directory):**
+
+
+| Legacy CJS                               | Preferred `gsd-sdk query` (examples) |
+| ---------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------ |
+| `node gsd-tools.cjs init phase-op 12`    | `gsd-sdk query init phase-op 12`     |
+| `node gsd-tools.cjs phase-plan-index 12` | `gsd-sdk query phase-plan-index 12`  |
+| `node gsd-tools.cjs state json`          | `gsd-sdk query state json`           |
+| `node gsd-tools.cjs roadmap analyze`     | `gsd-sdk query roadmap analyze`      |
+
+
+**SDK state reads:** `gsd-sdk query state json` / `state.json` and `gsd-sdk query state load` / `state.load` currently share one native handler (rebuilt STATE.md frontmatter — CJS `cmdStateJson`). The legacy CJS `state load` payload (`config`, `state_raw`, existence flags) is still **CLI-only** via `node …/gsd-tools.cjs state load` until a separate registry handler exists. Full routing and golden rules: [QUERY-HANDLERS.md](../sdk/src/query/QUERY-HANDLERS.md).
+
+**CLI-only (not in registry):** e.g. **graphify**, **from-gsd2** / **gsd2-import** — call `gsd-tools.cjs` until registered.
+
+**Mutation events (SDK):** `QUERY_MUTATION_COMMANDS` in `sdk/src/query/index.ts` lists commands that may emit structured events after a successful dispatch. Exceptions called out in QUERY-HANDLERS: `state validate` (read-only), `skill-manifest` (writes only with `--write`), `intel update` (stub).
+
+**Golden parity:** Policy and CJS↔SDK test categories are documented under **Golden parity** in [QUERY-HANDLERS.md](../sdk/src/query/QUERY-HANDLERS.md).

+
+```bash
+gsd-sdk query config-set review.models.codex    "codex exec --model gpt-5"
+gsd-sdk query config-set review.models.gemini   "gemini -m gemini-2.5-pro"

+gsd-sdk query config-set review.models.claude   ""   # clear — fall back to session model

+
+Slugs are validated against `[a-zA-Z0-9_-]+`; empty or path-containing slugs are rejected. See [`docs/CONFIGURATION.md`](CONFIGURATION.md#code-review-cli-routing) for the full field reference.
+
+## Secret Handling
+
+API keys configured via `/gsd-settings-integrations` (`brave_search`, `firecrawl`, `exa_search`) are written plaintext to `.planning/config.json` but are masked (`****<last-4>`) in every `config-set` / `config-get` output, confirmation table, and interactive prompt. See `get-shit-done/bin/lib/secrets.cjs` for the masking implementation. The `config.json` file itself is the security boundary — protect it with filesystem permissions and keep it out of git (`.planning/` is gitignored by default).

+Cross-AI plan convergence loop. Runs `plan-phase → review → replan → re-review` cycles until no HIGH concerns remain (max 3 cycles by default). Spawns isolated agents for planning and review; orchestrator handles loop control, HIGH-concern counting, stall detection, and escalation.

+| `--all` | No | Run every configured reviewer in parallel |
+| `--max-cycles N` | No | Override cycle cap (default 3) |
+
+**Exit behavior:** Loop exits when HIGH count hits zero. Stall detection warns when HIGH count is not decreasing across cycles. Escalation gate asks the user to proceed or review manually when `--max-cycles` is hit with HIGH concerns still open.

+**Checkpoint Heartbeats (#2410):**
+
+Background `execute-phase` runs emit `[checkpoint]` markers at every wave and plan
+boundary so the Claude API SSE stream never idles long enough to trigger
+`Stream idle timeout - partial response received` on multi-plan phases. The
+format is:
+
+```
+[checkpoint] phase {N} wave {W}/{M} starting, {count} plan(s), {P}/{Q} plans done
+[checkpoint] phase {N} wave {W}/{M} plan {plan_id} starting ({P}/{Q} plans done)

+[checkpoint] phase {N} wave {W}/{M} complete, {P}/{Q} plans done ({ok}/{count} ok)
+```
+
+If a background phase fails partway through, grep the transcript for `[checkpoint]`
+to see the last confirmed boundary. The manager's background-completion handler
+uses these markers to report partial progress when an agent errors out.

+
+Interactive configuration of power-user knobs — plan bounce, subagent timeouts, branch templates, cross-AI delegation, context window, and runtime output. Use after `/gsd-settings` once the common-case toggles are dialed in.
+
+Six sections, each a focused prompt batch:
+
+| Section | Keys |
+|---------|------|
+| Planning Tuning | `workflow.plan_bounce`, `workflow.plan_bounce_passes`, `workflow.plan_bounce_script`, `workflow.subagent_timeout`, `workflow.inline_plan_threshold` |

+| Runtime / Output | `response_language`, `context_window`, `search_gitignored`, `graphify.build_timeout` |
+
+Current values are pre-selected; an empty input keeps the existing value. Numeric fields reject non-numeric input and re-prompt. Null-allowed fields (`plan_bounce_script`, `cross_ai_command`, `response_language`) accept an empty input as a clear. Writes route through `gsd-sdk query config-set`, which preserves every unrelated key.

+
+### `/gsd-settings-integrations`
+
+Interactive configuration of third-party integrations and cross-tool routing.
+Distinct from `/gsd-settings` (workflow toggles) — this command handles
+connectivity: API keys, reviewer CLI routing, and agent-skill injection.
+
+Covers:
+
+- **Search integrations:** `brave_search`, `firecrawl`, `exa_search` API keys,
+  and the `search_gitignored` toggle.
+- **Code-review CLI routing:** `review.models.{claude,codex,gemini,opencode}`
+  — a shell command per reviewer flavor.
+- **Agent-skill injection:** `agent_skills.<agent-type>` — skill names
+  injected into an agent's spawn frontmatter. Agent-type slugs are validated
+  against `[a-zA-Z0-9_-]+` so path separators and shell metacharacters are
+  rejected.
+
+API keys are stored plaintext in `.planning/config.json` but displayed masked
+(`****<last-4>`) in every interactive output, confirmation table, and
+`config-set` stdout/stderr line. Plaintext is never echoed, never logged,

+## Integration Settings
+
+Configured interactively via [`/gsd-settings-integrations`](COMMANDS.md#gsd-settings-integrations). These are *connectivity* settings — API keys and cross-tool routing — and are intentionally kept separate from `/gsd-settings` (workflow toggles).
+
+### Search API keys
+
+API key fields accept a string value (the key itself). They can also be set to the sentinels `true`/`false`/`null` to override auto-detection from env vars / `~/.gsd/*_api_key` files (legacy behavior, see rows above).
+
+| Setting | Type | Default | Description |
+|---------|------|---------|-------------|
+| `brave_search` | string \| boolean \| null | `null` | Brave Search API key used for web research. Displayed as `****<last-4>` in all UI / `config-set` output; never echoed plaintext |
+| `firecrawl` | string \| boolean \| null | `null` | Firecrawl API key for deep-crawl scraping. Masked in display |
+| `exa_search` | string \| boolean \| null | `null` | Exa Search API key for semantic search. Masked in display |
+
+**Masking convention (`get-shit-done/bin/lib/secrets.cjs`):** keys 8+ characters render as `****<last-4>`; shorter keys render as `****`; `null`/empty renders as `(unset)`. Plaintext is written as-is to `.planning/config.json` — that file is the security boundary — but the CLI, confirmation tables, logs, and `AskUserQuestion` descriptions never display the plaintext.

+### Code-review CLI routing
+
+`review.models.<cli>` maps a reviewer flavor to a shell command. The code-review workflow shells out using this command when a matching flavor is requested.
+
+| Setting | Type | Default | Description |

+| `review.models.opencode` | string | `null` | Command for OpenCode review, e.g. `"opencode run --model claude-sonnet-4"` |
+
+The `<cli>` slug is validated against `[a-zA-Z0-9_-]+`. Empty or path-containing slugs are rejected by `config-set`.
+
+### Agent-skill injection (dynamic)
+
+`agent_skills.<agent-type>` extends the `agent_skills` map documented below. Slug is validated against `[a-zA-Z0-9_-]+` — no path separators, no whitespace, no shell metacharacters. Configured interactively via `/gsd-settings-integrations`.

+## Decision Coverage Gates (`workflow.context_coverage_gate`)
+
+When `discuss-phase` writes implementation decisions into CONTEXT.md
+`<decisions>`, two gates ensure those decisions survive the trip into
+plans and shipped code (issue #2492).
+
+| Setting | Type | Default | Description |
+|---------|------|---------|-------------|
+| `workflow.context_coverage_gate` | boolean | `true` | Toggle for both decision-coverage gates. When `false`, both the plan-phase translation gate and the verify-phase validation gate skip silently. |
+
+### What the gates do
+
+**Plan-phase translation gate (BLOCKING).** Runs immediately after the
+existing requirements coverage gate, before plans are committed. For each
+trackable decision in `<decisions>`, it checks that the decision id
+(`D-NN`) or its text appears in at least one plan's `must_haves`,
+`truths`, or body. A miss surfaces the missing decision by id and refuses
+to mark the phase planned.
+
+**Verify-phase validation gate (NON-BLOCKING).** Runs alongside the other
+verify steps. Searches every shipped artifact (PLAN.md, SUMMARY.md, files
+modified, recent commit subjects) for each trackable decision. Misses are
+written to VERIFICATION.md as a warning section but do **not** flip the
+overall verification status. The asymmetry is deliberate — by verify time
+the work is done, and a fuzzy substring miss should not fail an otherwise
+green phase.
+
+### How to write decisions the gates accept
+
+The discuss-phase template already produces `D-NN`-numbered decisions.
+The gate is happiest when:
+
+1. Every plan that implements a decision **cites the id** somewhere —
+   `must_haves.truths: ["D-12: bit offsets exposed"]` or a `D-12:` mention
+   in the plan body. Strict id match is the cheapest, deterministic path.
+2. Soft phrase matching is a fallback for paraphrases — if a 6+-word slice
+   of the decision text appears verbatim in a plan/summary, it counts.
+
+### Opt-outs
+
+A decision is **not** subject to the gates when any of the following
+apply:
+
+- It lives under the `### Claude's Discretion` heading inside `<decisions>`.
+- It is tagged `[informational]`, `[folded]`, or `[deferred]` in its
+  bullet (e.g., `- **D-08 [informational]:** Naming style for internal
+  helpers`).
+
+Use these escape hatches when a decision genuinely doesn't need plan
+coverage — implementation discretion, future ideas captured for the
+record, or items already deferred to a later phase.

+`model_overrides` can be set in either `.planning/config.json` (per-project)

+### Runtime-Aware Profiles (#2517)
+
+When `runtime` is set, profile tiers (`opus`/`sonnet`/`haiku`) resolve to runtime-native model IDs instead of Claude aliases. This lets a single shared `.planning/config.json` work cleanly across Claude and Codex.
+
+**Built-in tier maps:**
+
+| Runtime | `opus` | `sonnet` | `haiku` | reasoning_effort |
+|---------|--------|----------|---------|------------------|
+| `claude` | `claude-opus-4-6` | `claude-sonnet-4-6` | `claude-haiku-4-5` | (not used) |
+| `codex` | `gpt-5.4` | `gpt-5.3-codex` | `gpt-5.4-mini` | `xhigh` / `medium` / `medium` |
+
+**Codex example** — one config, tiered models, no large `model_overrides` block:
+
+```json
+{
+  "runtime": "codex",
+  "model_profile": "balanced"
+}
+```
+
+This resolves `gsd-planner` → `gpt-5.4` (xhigh), `gsd-executor` → `gpt-5.3-codex` (medium), `gsd-codebase-mapper` → `gpt-5.4-mini` (medium). The Codex installer embeds `model = "..."` and `model_reasoning_effort = "..."` in each generated agent TOML.
+
+**Claude example** — explicit opt-in resolves to full Claude IDs (no `resolve_model_ids: true` needed):
+
+```json
+{
+  "runtime": "claude",
+  "model_profile": "quality"
+}
+```
+
+**Per-runtime overrides** — replace one or more tier defaults:
+
+```json
+{
+  "runtime": "codex",
+  "model_profile": "quality",
+  "model_profile_overrides": {
+    "codex": {
+      "opus": "gpt-5-pro",
+      "haiku": { "model": "gpt-5-nano", "reasoning_effort": "low" }
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**Precedence (highest to lowest):**
+
+1. `model_overrides[<agent>]` — explicit per-agent ID always wins.
+2. **Runtime-aware tier resolution** (this section) — when `runtime` is set and profile is not `inherit`.
+3. `resolve_model_ids: "omit"` — returns empty string when no `runtime` is set.
+4. Claude-native default — `model_profile` tier as alias (current default).
+5. `inherit` — propagates literal `inherit` for `Task(model="inherit")` semantics.
+
+**Backwards compatibility.** Setups without `runtime` set see zero behavior change — every existing config continues to work identically. Codex installs that auto-set `resolve_model_ids: "omit"` continue to omit the model field unless the user opts in by setting `runtime: "codex"`.
+
+**Unknown runtimes.** If `runtime` is set to a value with no built-in tier map and no `model_profile_overrides[<runtime>]`, GSD falls back to the Claude-alias safe default rather than emit a model ID the runtime cannot accept. To support a new runtime, populate `model_profile_overrides.<runtime>.{opus,sonnet,haiku}` with valid IDs.

+**Incremental remap — `--paths` (#2003):** The mapper accepts an optional
+`--paths <p1,p2,...>` scope hint. When provided, it restricts exploration
+to the listed repo-relative prefixes instead of scanning the whole tree.
+This is the pathway used by the post-execute codebase-drift gate to refresh
+only the subtrees the phase actually changed. Each produced document carries
+`last_mapped_commit` in its YAML frontmatter so drift can be measured
+against the mapping point, not HEAD.
+
+### 27a. Post-Execute Codebase Drift Detection
+
+**Introduced by:** #2003
+**Trigger:** Runs automatically at the end of every `/gsd:execute-phase`
+**Configuration:**
+- `workflow.drift_threshold` (integer, default `3`) — minimum new
+  structural elements before the gate acts.
+- `workflow.drift_action` (`warn` | `auto-remap`, default `warn`) —
+  warn-only or spawn `gsd-codebase-mapper` with `--paths` scoped to
+  affected subtrees.
+
+**What counts as drift:**
+- New directory outside mapped paths
+- New barrel export at `(packages|apps)/*/src/index.*`
+- New migration file (supabase/prisma/drizzle/src/migrations/…)
+- New route module under `routes/` or `api/`
+
+**Non-blocking guarantee:** any internal failure (missing STRUCTURE.md,
+git errors, mapper spawn failure) logs a single line and the phase
+continues. Drift detection cannot fail verification.
+
+**Requirements:**
+- REQ-DRIFT-01: System MUST detect the four drift categories from `git diff
+  --name-status last_mapped_commit..HEAD`
+- REQ-DRIFT-02: Action fires only when element count ≥ `workflow.drift_threshold`
+- REQ-DRIFT-03: `warn` action MUST NOT spawn any agent
+- REQ-DRIFT-04: `auto-remap` action MUST pass sanitized `--paths` to the mapper
+- REQ-DRIFT-05: Detection/remap failure MUST be non-blocking for `/gsd:execute-phase`
+- REQ-DRIFT-06: `last_mapped_commit` round-trip through YAML frontmatter
+  on each `.planning/codebase/*.md` file

 **Produces:** `{phase}-LEARNINGS.md` with YAML frontmatter (phase, project, counts per category, missing_artifacts)
 
+**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.
+
+Expected tool signature:
+```javascript
+capture_thought({
+  category: "decision" | "lesson" | "pattern" | "surprise",
+  phase: <phase_number>,
+  content: <learning_text>,
+  source: <artifact_name>
+})
+```
+
+Users who run a memory / knowledge-base MCP server (for example, ExoCortex-style servers, `claude-mem`, or `mem0`-style servers) can implement this tool name to have learnings routed into their knowledge base automatically with `project`, `phase`, and `source` metadata. Everyone else can use `/gsd-extract-learnings` without any extra setup — the `LEARNINGS.md` artifact is the feature.

+## v1.37.0 Features
+
+### 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:**
+| Artifact | Description |
+|----------|-------------|
+| `.planning/sketches/NNN-name/index.html` | 2–3 interactive HTML variants |
+| `.planning/sketches/NNN-name/README.md` | Design question, variants, winner, what to look for |
+| `.planning/sketches/themes/default.css` | Shared CSS theme variables |
+| `.planning/sketches/MANIFEST.md` | Index of all sketches with winners |
+| `.claude/skills/sketch-findings-[project]/` | Packaged decisions (via `/gsd-sketch-wrap-up`) |

+
+### 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`

+- 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.

 **Enable:** Set `workflow.discuss_mode` to `'assumptions'` via `/gsd-settings`.
 
 **How it works:**
+
 1. Reads PROJECT.md, codebase mapping, and existing conventions
 2. Generates a structured list of assumptions (tech choices, patterns, file locations)
 3. Presents assumptions for you to confirm, correct, or expand
 4. Writes CONTEXT.md from confirmed assumptions
 
 **When to use:**
+
 - Experienced developers who already know their codebase well
 - Rapid iteration where open-ended questions slow you down
 - Projects where patterns are well-established and predictable
 
 See [docs/workflow-discuss-mode.md](workflow-discuss-mode.md) for the full discuss-mode reference.
 
+### Decision Coverage Gates
+
+The discuss-phase captures implementation decisions in CONTEXT.md under a
+`<decisions>` block as numbered bullets (`- **D-01:** …`). Two gates — added
+for issue #2492 — ensure those decisions survive into plans and shipped
+code.
+
+**Plan-phase translation gate (blocking).** After planning, GSD refuses to
+mark the phase planned until every trackable decision appears in at least
+one plan's `must_haves`, `truths`, or body. The gate names each missed
+decision by id (`D-07: …`) so you know exactly what to add, move, or
+reclassify.
+
+**Verify-phase validation gate (non-blocking).** During verification, GSD
+searches plans, SUMMARY.md, modified files, and recent commit messages for
+each trackable decision. Misses are logged to VERIFICATION.md as a warning
+section; verification status is unchanged. The asymmetry is deliberate —
+the blocking gate is cheap at plan time but hostile at verify time.
+
+**Writing decisions the gate can match.** Two match modes:
+
+1. **Strict id match (recommended).** Cite the decision id anywhere in a
+   plan that implements it — `must_haves.truths: ["D-12: bit offsets
+   exposed"]`, a bullet in the plan body, a frontmatter comment. This is
+   deterministic and unambiguous.
+2. **Soft phrase match (fallback).** If a 6+-word slice of the decision
+   text appears verbatim in any plan or shipped artifact, it counts. This
+   forgives paraphrasing but is less reliable.
+
+**Opting a decision out.** If a decision genuinely should not be tracked —
+an implementation-discretion note, an informational capture, a decision
+already deferred — mark it one of these ways:
+
+- Move it under the `### Claude's Discretion` heading inside `<decisions>`.
+- Tag it in its bullet: `- **D-08 [informational]:** …`,
+  `- **D-09 [folded]:** …`, `- **D-10 [deferred]:** …`.
+
+**Disabling the gates.** Set
+`workflow.context_coverage_gate: false` in `.planning/config.json` (or via
+`/gsd-settings`) to skip both gates silently. Default is `true`.

+## 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

-**Profile philosophy:**
-- **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).

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`.

 ### Subagent Appears to Fail but Work Was Done
 
 A known workaround exists for a Claude Code classification bug. GSD's orchestrators (execute-phase, quick) spot-check actual output before reporting failure. If you see a failure message but commits were made, check `git log` -- the work may have succeeded.

+# 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 (`GSDError` with `ErrorClassification`), 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.

+# Skill Discovery Contract
+
+> Canonical rules for scanning, inventorying, and rendering GSD skills.
+
+## Root Categories
+
+### Project Roots
+
+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
+
+---
+

+Frontmatter:
+- `name: gsd:ultraplan-phase`
+- `description:` includes `[BETA]` marker

+

+
+## 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`)
