+Configuration options for `.planning/` directory behavior.
+
+<config_schema>
+```json
+"planning": {
+  "commit_docs": true,
+  "search_gitignored": false
+},
+"git": {
+  "branching_strategy": "none",
+  "base_branch": null,
+  "phase_branch_template": "gsd/phase-{phase}-{slug}",
+  "milestone_branch_template": "gsd/{milestone}-{slug}",

+},

+  }
+}
+```
+
+| Option | Default | Description |
+|--------|---------|-------------|
+| `commit_docs` | `true` | Whether to commit planning artifacts to git |
+| `search_gitignored` | `false` | Add `--no-ignore` to broad rg searches |
+| `git.branching_strategy` | `"none"` | Git branching approach: `"none"`, `"phase"`, or `"milestone"` |
+| `git.base_branch` | `null` (auto-detect) | Target branch for PRs and merges (e.g. `"master"`, `"develop"`). When `null`, auto-detects from `git symbolic-ref refs/remotes/origin/HEAD`, falling back to `"main"`. |
+| `git.create_tag` | `true` | Create git tags on milestone completion |
+| `git.phase_branch_template` | `"gsd/phase-{phase}-{slug}"` | Branch template for phase strategy |
+| `git.milestone_branch_template` | `"gsd/{milestone}-{slug}"` | Branch template for milestone strategy |
+| `git.quick_branch_template` | `null` | Optional branch template for quick-task runs |
+| `workflow.use_worktrees` | `true` | Whether executor agents run in isolated git worktrees. Set to `false` to disable worktrees — agents execute sequentially on the main working tree instead. Recommended for solo developers or when worktree merges cause issues. |
+| `workflow.subagent_timeout` | `300000` | Timeout in milliseconds for parallel subagent tasks (e.g. codebase mapping). Increase for large codebases or slower models. Default: 300000 (5 minutes). |
+| `workflow.inline_plan_threshold` | `2` | Plans with this many tasks or fewer execute inline (Pattern C) instead of spawning a subagent. Avoids ~14K token spawn overhead for small plans. Set to `0` to always spawn subagents. |
+| `manager.flags.discuss` | `""` | Flags passed to `/gsd:discuss-phase` when dispatched from manager (e.g. `"--auto --analyze"`) |
+| `manager.flags.plan` | `""` | Flags passed to plan workflow when dispatched from manager |
+| `manager.flags.execute` | `""` | Flags passed to execute workflow when dispatched from manager |
+| `response_language` | `null` | Language for user-facing questions and prompts across all phases/subagents (e.g. `"Portuguese"`, `"Japanese"`, `"Spanish"`). When set, all spawned agents include a directive to respond in this language. |
+</config_schema>
+
+<commit_docs_behavior>
+
+**When `commit_docs: true` (default):**
+- Planning files committed normally
+- SUMMARY.md, STATE.md, ROADMAP.md tracked in git
+- Full history of planning decisions preserved
+
+**When `commit_docs: false`:**
+- Skip all `git add`/`git commit` for `.planning/` files
+- User must add `.planning/` to `.gitignore`
+- Useful for: OSS contributions, client projects, keeping planning private
+
+**Using `gsd-sdk query` (preferred):**
+
+```bash
+# Commit with automatic commit_docs + gitignore checks:
+gsd-sdk query commit "docs: update state" --files .planning/STATE.md
+
+# Load config via state load (returns JSON):
+INIT=$(gsd-sdk query state.load)
+if [[ "$INIT" == @file:* ]]; then INIT=$(cat "${INIT#@file:}"); fi
+# commit_docs is available in the JSON output
+
+# Or use init commands which include commit_docs:
+INIT=$(gsd-sdk query init.execute-phase "1")
+if [[ "$INIT" == @file:* ]]; then INIT=$(cat "${INIT#@file:}"); fi
+# commit_docs is included in all init command outputs
+```
+
+**Auto-detection:** If `.planning/` is gitignored, `commit_docs` is automatically `false` regardless of config.json. This prevents git errors when users have `.planning/` in `.gitignore`.
+
+**Commit via CLI (handles checks automatically):**
+
+```bash
+gsd-sdk query commit "docs: update state" --files .planning/STATE.md
+```
+
+The CLI checks `commit_docs` config and gitignore status internally — no manual conditionals needed.
+
+</commit_docs_behavior>
+
+<search_behavior>
+
+**When `search_gitignored: false` (default):**
+- Standard rg behavior (respects .gitignore)
+- Direct path searches work: `rg "pattern" .planning/` finds files
+- Broad searches skip gitignored: `rg "pattern"` skips `.planning/`
+
+**When `search_gitignored: true`:**
+- Add `--no-ignore` to broad rg searches that should include `.planning/`
+- Only needed when searching entire repo and expecting `.planning/` matches
+
+**Note:** Most GSD operations use direct file reads or explicit paths, which work regardless of gitignore status.
+
+</search_behavior>
+
+<setup_uncommitted_mode>
+
+To use uncommitted mode:
+
+1. **Set config:**
+   ```json
+   "planning": {
+     "commit_docs": false,
+     "search_gitignored": true
+   }
+   ```
+
+2. **Add to .gitignore:**
+   ```
+   .planning/
+   ```
+
+3. **Existing tracked files:** If `.planning/` was previously tracked:
+   ```bash
+   git rm -r --cached .planning/
+   git commit -m "chore: stop tracking planning docs"
+   ```
+
+4. **Branch merges:** When using `branching_strategy: phase` or `milestone`, the `complete-milestone` workflow automatically strips `.planning/` files from staging before merge commits when `commit_docs: false`.
+
+</setup_uncommitted_mode>
+
+<branching_strategy_behavior>
+
+**Branching Strategies:**
+
+| Strategy | When branch created | Branch scope | Merge point |
+|----------|---------------------|--------------|-------------|
+| `none` | Never | N/A | N/A |
+| `phase` | At `execute-phase` start | Single phase | User merges after phase |
+| `milestone` | At first `execute-phase` of milestone | Entire milestone | At `complete-milestone` |
+
+**When `git.branching_strategy: "none"` (default):**
+- All work commits to current branch
+- Standard GSD behavior
+
+**When `git.branching_strategy: "phase"`:**
+- `execute-phase` creates/switches to a branch before execution
+- Branch name from `phase_branch_template` (e.g., `gsd/phase-03-authentication`)
+- All plan commits go to that branch
+- User merges branches manually after phase completion
+- `complete-milestone` offers to merge all phase branches
+
+**When `git.branching_strategy: "milestone"`:**
+- First `execute-phase` of milestone creates the milestone branch
+- Branch name from `milestone_branch_template` (e.g., `gsd/v1.0-mvp`)
+- All phases in milestone commit to same branch
+- `complete-milestone` offers to merge milestone branch to main
+
+**Template variables:**
+
+| Variable | Available in | Description |
+|----------|--------------|-------------|
+| `{phase}` | phase_branch_template | Zero-padded phase number (e.g., "03") |
+| `{slug}` | Both | Lowercase, hyphenated name |
+| `{milestone}` | milestone_branch_template | Milestone version (e.g., "v1.0") |
+
+**Checking the config:**
+
+Use `init execute-phase` which returns all config as JSON:
+```bash
+INIT=$(gsd-sdk query init.execute-phase "1")
+if [[ "$INIT" == @file:* ]]; then INIT=$(cat "${INIT#@file:}"); fi
+# JSON output includes: branching_strategy, phase_branch_template, milestone_branch_template
+```
+
+Or use `state load` for the config values:
+```bash
+INIT=$(gsd-sdk query state.load)
+if [[ "$INIT" == @file:* ]]; then INIT=$(cat "${INIT#@file:}"); fi
+# Parse branching_strategy, phase_branch_template, milestone_branch_template from JSON
+```
+
+**Branch creation:**
+
+```bash
+# For phase strategy
+if [ "$BRANCHING_STRATEGY" = "phase" ]; then
+  PHASE_SLUG=$(echo "$PHASE_NAME" | tr '[:upper:]' '[:lower:]' | sed 's/[^a-z0-9]/-/g' | sed 's/--*/-/g' | sed 's/^-//;s/-$//')
+  BRANCH_NAME=$(echo "$PHASE_BRANCH_TEMPLATE" | sed "s/{phase}/$PADDED_PHASE/g" | sed "s/{slug}/$PHASE_SLUG/g")
+  git checkout -b "$BRANCH_NAME" 2>/dev/null || git checkout "$BRANCH_NAME"
+fi
+
+# For milestone strategy
+if [ "$BRANCHING_STRATEGY" = "milestone" ]; then
+  MILESTONE_SLUG=$(echo "$MILESTONE_NAME" | tr '[:upper:]' '[:lower:]' | sed 's/[^a-z0-9]/-/g' | sed 's/--*/-/g' | sed 's/^-//;s/-$//')
+  BRANCH_NAME=$(echo "$MILESTONE_BRANCH_TEMPLATE" | sed "s/{milestone}/$MILESTONE_VERSION/g" | sed "s/{slug}/$MILESTONE_SLUG/g")
+  git checkout -b "$BRANCH_NAME" 2>/dev/null || git checkout "$BRANCH_NAME"
+fi
+```
+
+**Merge options at complete-milestone:**
+
+| Option | Git command | Result |
+|--------|-------------|--------|
+| Squash merge (recommended) | `git merge --squash` | Single clean commit per branch |
+| Merge with history | `git merge --no-ff` | Preserves all individual commits |
+| Delete without merging | `git branch -D` | Discard branch work |
+| Keep branches | (none) | Manual handling later |
+
+Squash merge is recommended — keeps main branch history clean while preserving the full development history in the branch (until deleted).
+
+**Use cases:**
+
+| Strategy | Best for |
+|----------|----------|
+| `none` | Solo development, simple projects |
+| `phase` | Code review per phase, granular rollback, team collaboration |
+| `milestone` | Release branches, staging environments, PR per version |

+
+---
+
+## Field Interactions
+
+Several config fields affect each other or trigger special behavior:
+
+1. **`commit_docs` auto-detection** -- When no explicit value is set in config.json and `.planning/` is in `.gitignore`, `commit_docs` automatically resolves to `false`. An explicit `true` or `false` in config always overrides auto-detection.
+
+2. **`branching_strategy` controls branch templates** -- The `phase_branch_template` and `milestone_branch_template` fields are only used when `branching_strategy` is set to `"phase"` or `"milestone"` respectively. When `branching_strategy` is `"none"`, all template fields are ignored.
+
+3. **`context_window` threshold triggers** -- When `context_window >= 500000`, workflows enable adaptive context enrichment: full-body reads of prior phase SUMMARYs, cross-phase context injection in plan-phase, and deeper read depth for anti-pattern references. Below 500000, only frontmatter and summaries are read.
+
+4. **`parallelization` polymorphism** -- Accepts both a simple boolean and an object with an `enabled` field. `loadConfig()` normalizes either form to a boolean. `{ "enabled": true }` is equivalent to `true`.
+
+5. **Search API keys and flags** -- `brave_search`, `firecrawl`, and `exa_search` are auto-set to `true` during project creation if the corresponding API key is detected (environment variable or `~/.gsd/<name>_api_key` file). Setting them to `true` without the API key has no effect.
+
+6. **`planning.*` and top-level equivalence** -- `planning.commit_docs` and `commit_docs` are equivalent; `planning.search_gitignored` and `search_gitignored` are equivalent. If both are set, the top-level value takes precedence.
+
+7. **`depth` to `granularity` migration** -- The deprecated `depth` key (`quick`/`standard`/`comprehensive`) is automatically migrated to `granularity` (`coarse`/`standard`/`fine`) on config load and persisted back to disk.
+
+8. **`sub_repos` auto-sync** -- On every config load, GSD scans for child directories with `.git` and updates the `sub_repos` array if the filesystem has changed. Legacy `multiRepo: true` is automatically migrated to a detected `sub_repos` array.
+

+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.

+
+Project initialization is dream extraction, not requirements gathering. You're helping the user discover and articulate what they want to build. This isn't a contract negotiation — it's collaborative thinking.
+
+<philosophy>
+
+**You are a thinking partner, not an interviewer.**
+
+The user often has a fuzzy idea. Your job is to help them sharpen it. Ask questions that make them think "oh, I hadn't considered that" or "yes, that's exactly what I mean."
+
+Don't interrogate. Collaborate. Don't follow a script. Follow the thread.
+
+</philosophy>
+
+<the_goal>
+
+By the end of questioning, you need enough clarity to write a PROJECT.md that downstream phases can act on:
+
+- **Research** needs: what domain to research, what the user already knows, what unknowns exist
+- **Requirements** needs: clear enough vision to scope v1 features
+- **Roadmap** needs: clear enough vision to decompose into phases, what "done" looks like
+- **plan-phase** needs: specific requirements to break into tasks, context for implementation choices
+- **execute-phase** needs: success criteria to verify against, the "why" behind requirements
+
+A vague PROJECT.md forces every downstream phase to guess. The cost compounds.
+
+</the_goal>
+
+<how_to_question>
+
+**Start open.** Let them dump their mental model. Don't interrupt with structure.
+
+**Follow energy.** Whatever they emphasized, dig into that. What excited them? What problem sparked this?
+
+**Challenge vagueness.** Never accept fuzzy answers. "Good" means what? "Users" means who? "Simple" means how?
+
+**Make the abstract concrete.** "Walk me through using this." "What does that actually look like?"
+
+**Clarify ambiguity.** "When you say Z, do you mean A or B?" "You mentioned X — tell me more."
+
+**Know when to stop.** When you understand what they want, why they want it, who it's for, and what done looks like — offer to proceed.
+
+</how_to_question>
+
+<question_types>
+
+Use these as inspiration, not a checklist. Pick what's relevant to the thread.
+
+**Motivation — why this exists:**
+- "What prompted this?"
+- "What are you doing today that this replaces?"
+- "What would you do if this existed?"
+
+**Concreteness — what it actually is:**
+- "Walk me through using this"
+- "You said X — what does that actually look like?"
+- "Give me an example"
+
+**Clarification — what they mean:**
+- "When you say Z, do you mean A or B?"
+- "You mentioned X — tell me more about that"
+
+**Success — how you'll know it's working:**
+- "How will you know this is working?"
+- "What does done look like?"
+
+</question_types>
+
+<using_askuserquestion>
+
+Use AskUserQuestion to help users think by presenting concrete options to react to.
+
+**Good options:**
+- Interpretations of what they might mean
+- Specific examples to confirm or deny
+- Concrete choices that reveal priorities
+
+**Bad options:**
+- Generic categories ("Technical", "Business", "Other")
+- Leading options that presume an answer
+- Too many options (2-4 is ideal)
+- Headers longer than 12 characters (hard limit — validation will reject them)
+
+**Example — vague answer:**
+User says "it should be fast"
+
+- header: "Fast"
+- question: "Fast how?"
+- options: ["Sub-second response", "Handles large datasets", "Quick to build", "Let me explain"]
+
+**Example — following a thread:**
+User mentions "frustrated with current tools"
+
+- header: "Frustration"
+- question: "What specifically frustrates you?"
+- options: ["Too many clicks", "Missing features", "Unreliable", "Let me explain"]
+
+**Tip for users — modifying an option:**
+Users who want a slightly modified version of an option can select "Other" and reference the option by number: `#1 but for finger joints only` or `#2 with pagination disabled`. This avoids retyping the full option text.
+
+</using_askuserquestion>
+
+<freeform_rule>
+
+**When the user wants to explain freely, STOP using AskUserQuestion.**
+
+If a user selects "Other" and their response signals they want to describe something in their own words (e.g., "let me describe it", "I'll explain", "something else", or any open-ended reply that isn't choosing/modifying an existing option), you MUST:
+
+1. **Ask your follow-up as plain text** — NOT via AskUserQuestion
+2. **Wait for them to type at the normal prompt**
+3. **Resume AskUserQuestion** only after processing their freeform response
+
+The same applies if YOU include a freeform-indicating option (like "Let me explain" or "Describe in detail") and the user selects it.
+
+**Wrong:** User says "let me describe it" → AskUserQuestion("What feature?", ["Feature A", "Feature B", "Describe in detail"])
+**Right:** User says "let me describe it" → "Go ahead — what are you thinking?"
+
+</freeform_rule>
+
+<context_checklist>
+
+Use this as a **background checklist**, not a conversation structure. Check these mentally as you go. If gaps remain, weave questions naturally.
+
+- [ ] What they're building (concrete enough to explain to a stranger)
+- [ ] Why it needs to exist (the problem or desire driving it)
+- [ ] Who it's for (even if just themselves)
+- [ ] What "done" looks like (observable outcomes)
+
+Four things. If they volunteer more, capture it.
+
+</context_checklist>
+
+<decision_gate>
+
+When you could write a clear PROJECT.md, offer to proceed:
+
+- header: "Ready?"
+- question: "I think I understand what you're after. Ready to create PROJECT.md?"
+- options:
+  - "Create PROJECT.md" — Let's move forward
+  - "Keep exploring" — I want to share more / ask me more
+
+If "Keep exploring" — ask what they want to add or identify gaps and probe naturally.
+
+Loop until "Create PROJECT.md" selected.
+
+</decision_gate>
+
+<anti_patterns>
+
+- **Checklist walking** — Going through domains regardless of what they said
+- **Canned questions** — "What's your core value?" "What's out of scope?" regardless of context
+- **Corporate speak** — "What are your success criteria?" "Who are your stakeholders?"
+- **Interrogation** — Firing questions without building on answers
+- **Rushing** — Minimizing questions to get to "the work"
+- **Shallow acceptance** — Taking vague answers without probing
+- **Premature constraints** — Asking about tech stack before understanding the idea
+- **User skills** — NEVER ask about user's technical experience. Claude builds.
