open-gsd/gsd-path

Inspect .project/STATE.md, report GSD Path progress, and run the next valid phase. Use only when the user explicitly invokes $gsd-path. The status argument reports state without advancing; config views or edits settings without advancing. Do not infer this skill from generic project, next-step, or resume requests.

Execute or resume an approved GSD Path plan with isolated task worktrees, deterministic commits, and independent wave review. Use only when the user explicitly invokes $gsd-path-build or an active $gsd-path router explicitly routes to this phase.

Decide implementation direction from approved intent and complete research evidence, recording settled choices in SYNTHESIS.md. Use only when the user explicitly invokes $gsd-path-decide or an active $gsd-path router explicitly routes to this phase.

Define and approve project or milestone intent through an interview or milestone confirmation, writing .project/CHARTER.md or .project/intent/INTENT.md. Use only when the user explicitly invokes $gsd-path-define or an active $gsd-path router explicitly routes to this phase.

Hold an explicit, evidence-grounded discussion about an active GSD Path milestone from any phase, preserve the verbatim dialogue and answer records under .project/discuss/, use local code and existing artifacts before focused research, challenge unsupported assumptions, and identify the phase owner for follow-up. Use only when the user explicitly invokes $gsd-path-discuss to ask questions, explore a decision, request a progress explanation, or close a discussion without advancing the pipeline.

Verify Markdown claims against the actual code, commands, and GSD Path artifacts. Use only when the user explicitly invokes $gsd-path-docs-audit or an active $gsd-path router explicitly routes to this phase.

Use only when the user explicitly invokes $gsd-path-forensics. Read-only diagnosis of a stuck GSD Path pipeline. Runs existing helpers and names the exact retry command; never mutates state, git, or artifacts.

Inspect an existing codebase and its documentation to establish brownfield ground truth before intent is defined. Use only when the user explicitly invokes $gsd-path-inspect or an active $gsd-path router explicitly routes to this phase.

Use only when the user explicitly invokes $gsd-path-loop. Runs one bounded loop pass from a LOOP.md spec — gate checks, independent verification, one fix worker, telemetry. Autonomy lives in the external scheduler that invokes this skill; the skill never schedules itself.

Preserve GSD Core project context and unfinished work for intake through GSD Path gates, and review coexistence on Claude Code and Codex. Use only when the user explicitly invokes $gsd-path-migrate.

Create and validate dependency-ordered GSD Path build waves and complete task contracts. Use only when the user explicitly invokes $gsd-path-plan or an active $gsd-path router explicitly routes to this phase.

Dispatch parallel researchers and collect cited GSD Path evidence about domain, stack, pitfalls, and comparable products. Use only when the user explicitly invokes $gsd-path-research or an active $gsd-path router explicitly routes to this phase.

Slice an approved GSD Path program charter into a dependency-ordered roadmap of independently shippable milestones. Use only when the user explicitly invokes $gsd-path-roadmap or an active $gsd-path router explicitly routes to this phase.

Verify a completed GSD Path milestone, manage evidence-backed patch decisions, request final shipping approval, and archive the validated result. Use only when the user explicitly invokes $gsd-path-ship or an active $gsd-path router or build orchestrator explicitly routes to this phase.

Use only when the user explicitly invokes $gsd-path-undo. Preview and apply helper-owned undo of an unpublished checkpoint, last task landing, uncommitted ship archive, or untracked lookahead track. Never invent git reset, revert, or force-push.

Inspect .project/STATE.md, report GSD Path progress, and run the next valid phase. Use only when the user explicitly invokes $path or $gsd-path. The status argument reports state without advancing; config views or edits settings without advancing. Do not infer this skill from generic project, next-step, or resume requests.
