+# Decimal Phase Calculation
+
+Calculate the next decimal phase number for urgent insertions.
+
+## Using gsd-tools
+
+```bash
+# Get next decimal phase after phase 6
+node ~/.claude/get-shit-done/bin/gsd-tools.cjs phase next-decimal 6
+```
+
+Output:
+```json
+{
+  "found": true,
+  "base_phase": "06",
+  "next": "06.1",
+  "existing": []
+}
+```
+
+With existing decimals:
+```json

+  "found": true,
+  "base_phase": "06",
+  "next": "06.3",
+  "existing": ["06.1", "06.2"]
+}
+```
+
+## Extract Values
+
+```bash
+DECIMAL_INFO=$(node ~/.claude/get-shit-done/bin/gsd-tools.cjs phase next-decimal "${AFTER_PHASE}")
+DECIMAL_PHASE=$(echo "$DECIMAL_INFO" | jq -r '.next')
+BASE_PHASE=$(echo "$DECIMAL_INFO" | jq -r '.base_phase')

+Or with --raw flag:
+```bash
+DECIMAL_PHASE=$(node ~/.claude/get-shit-done/bin/gsd-tools.cjs phase next-decimal "${AFTER_PHASE}" --raw)
+# Returns just: 06.1
+```

+# Git Planning Commit
+
+Commit planning artifacts using the gsd-tools CLI, which automatically checks `commit_docs` config and gitignore status.
+
+## Commit via CLI
+
+Always use `gsd-tools.cjs commit` for `.planning/` files — it handles `commit_docs` and gitignore checks automatically:
+
+```bash
+node ~/.claude/get-shit-done/bin/gsd-tools.cjs commit "docs({scope}): {description}" --files .planning/STATE.md .planning/ROADMAP.md
+```
+
+The CLI will return `skipped` (with reason) if `commit_docs` is `false` or `.planning/` is gitignored. No manual conditional checks needed.
+
+## Amend previous commit
+
+To fold `.planning/` file changes into the previous commit:
+
+```bash
+node ~/.claude/get-shit-done/bin/gsd-tools.cjs commit "" --files .planning/codebase/*.md --amend
+```
+
+## Commit Message Patterns
+
+| Command | Scope | Example |
+|---------|-------|---------|
+| plan-phase | phase | `docs(phase-03): create authentication plans` |
+| execute-phase | phase | `docs(phase-03): complete authentication phase` |
+| new-milestone | milestone | `docs: start milestone v1.1` |
+| remove-phase | chore | `chore: remove phase 17 (dashboard)` |
+| insert-phase | phase | `docs: insert phase 16.1 (critical fix)` |
+| add-phase | phase | `docs: add phase 07 (settings page)` |
+
+## When to Skip
+
+- `commit_docs: false` in config
+- `.planning/` is gitignored
+- No changes to commit (check with `git status --porcelain .planning/`)

+# Model Profile Resolution

+Resolve model profile once at the start of orchestration, then use it for all Task spawns.

+## Resolution Pattern
+
+```bash
+MODEL_PROFILE=$(cat .planning/config.json 2>/dev/null | grep -o '"model_profile"[[:space:]]*:[[:space:]]*"[^"]*"' | grep -o '"[^"]*"$' | tr -d '"' || echo "balanced")
+```
+
+Default: `balanced` if not set or config missing.
+
+## Lookup Table
+
+@~/.claude/get-shit-done/references/model-profiles.md
+
+Look up the agent in the table for the resolved profile. Pass the model parameter to Task calls:
+
+```
+Task(
+  prompt="...",
+  subagent_type="gsd-planner",
+  model="{resolved_model}"  # "inherit", "sonnet", or "haiku"
+)
+```
+
+**Note:** Opus-tier agents resolve to `"inherit"` (not `"opus"`). This causes the agent to use the parent session's model, avoiding conflicts with organization policies that may block specific opus versions.
+
+## Usage
+
+1. Resolve once at orchestration start
+2. Store the profile value
+3. Look up each agent's model from the table when spawning
+4. Pass model parameter to each Task call (values: `"inherit"`, `"sonnet"`, `"haiku"`)

+# Model Profiles
+
+Model profiles control which Claude model each GSD agent uses. This allows balancing quality vs token spend.
+
+## Profile Definitions
+
+| Agent | `quality` | `balanced` | `budget` |
+|-------|-----------|------------|----------|
+| gsd-planner | opus | opus | sonnet |
+| gsd-roadmapper | opus | sonnet | sonnet |
+| gsd-executor | opus | sonnet | sonnet |
+| gsd-phase-researcher | opus | sonnet | haiku |
+| gsd-project-researcher | opus | sonnet | haiku |
+| gsd-research-synthesizer | sonnet | sonnet | haiku |
+| gsd-debugger | opus | sonnet | sonnet |
+| gsd-codebase-mapper | sonnet | haiku | haiku |
+| gsd-verifier | sonnet | sonnet | haiku |
+| gsd-plan-checker | sonnet | sonnet | haiku |
+| gsd-integration-checker | sonnet | sonnet | haiku |
+
+## Profile Philosophy
+
+**quality** - Maximum reasoning power
+- Opus for all decision-making agents
+- Sonnet for read-only verification
+- Use when: quota available, critical architecture work
+
+**balanced** (default) - Smart allocation
+- Opus only for planning (where architecture decisions happen)
+- Sonnet for execution and research (follows explicit instructions)
+- Sonnet for verification (needs reasoning, not just pattern matching)
+- Use when: normal development, good balance of quality and cost
+
+**budget** - Minimal Opus usage
+- Sonnet for anything that writes code
+- Haiku for research and verification
+- Use when: conserving quota, high-volume work, less critical phases
+
+## Resolution Logic
+
+Orchestrators resolve model before spawning:
+
+```
+1. Read .planning/config.json
+2. Check model_overrides for agent-specific override
+3. If no override, look up agent in profile table
+4. Pass model parameter to Task call
+```
+
+## Per-Agent Overrides
+
+Override specific agents without changing the entire profile:
+
+```json
+{
+  "model_profile": "balanced",
+  "model_overrides": {
+    "gsd-executor": "opus",
+    "gsd-planner": "haiku"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Overrides take precedence over the profile. Valid values: `opus`, `sonnet`, `haiku`.
+
+## Switching Profiles
+
+Runtime: `/gsd:set-profile <profile>`
+
+Per-project default: Set in `.planning/config.json`:
+```json
+{
+  "model_profile": "balanced"
+}
+```
+
+## Design Rationale
+
+**Why Opus for gsd-planner?**
+Planning involves architecture decisions, goal decomposition, and task design. This is where model quality has the highest impact.
+
+**Why Sonnet for gsd-executor?**
+Executors follow explicit PLAN.md instructions. The plan already contains the reasoning; execution is implementation.
+
+**Why Sonnet (not Haiku) for verifiers in balanced?**
+Verification requires goal-backward reasoning - checking if code *delivers* what the phase promised, not just pattern matching. Sonnet handles this well; Haiku may miss subtle gaps.
+
+**Why Haiku for gsd-codebase-mapper?**
+Read-only exploration and pattern extraction. No reasoning required, just structured output from file contents.
+
+**Why `inherit` instead of passing `opus` directly?**
+Claude Code's `"opus"` alias maps to a specific model version. Organizations may block older opus versions while allowing newer ones. GSD returns `"inherit"` for opus-tier agents, causing them to use whatever opus version the user has configured in their session. This avoids version conflicts and silent fallbacks to Sonnet.

+# Phase Argument Parsing
+
+Parse and normalize phase arguments for commands that operate on phases.
+
+## Extraction
+
+From `$ARGUMENTS`:
+- Extract phase number (first numeric argument)
+- Extract flags (prefixed with `--`)
+- Remaining text is description (for insert/add commands)
+
+## Using gsd-tools
+
+The `find-phase` command handles normalization and validation in one step:
+
+```bash
+PHASE_INFO=$(node ~/.claude/get-shit-done/bin/gsd-tools.cjs find-phase "${PHASE}")
+```
+
+Returns JSON with:
+- `found`: true/false
+- `directory`: Full path to phase directory
+- `phase_number`: Normalized number (e.g., "06", "06.1")
+- `phase_name`: Name portion (e.g., "foundation")
+- `plans`: Array of PLAN.md files
+- `summaries`: Array of SUMMARY.md files
+
+## Manual Normalization (Legacy)
+
+Zero-pad integer phases to 2 digits. Preserve decimal suffixes.
+
+```bash
+# Normalize phase number
+if [[ "$PHASE" =~ ^[0-9]+$ ]]; then
+  # Integer: 8 → 08
+  PHASE=$(printf "%02d" "$PHASE")
+elif [[ "$PHASE" =~ ^([0-9]+)\.([0-9]+)$ ]]; then
+  # Decimal: 2.1 → 02.1
+  PHASE=$(printf "%02d.%s" "${BASH_REMATCH[1]}" "${BASH_REMATCH[2]}")
+fi
+```
+
+## Validation
+
+Use `roadmap get-phase` to validate phase exists:
+
+```bash
+PHASE_CHECK=$(node ~/.claude/get-shit-done/bin/gsd-tools.cjs roadmap get-phase "${PHASE}")
+if [ "$(echo "$PHASE_CHECK" | jq -r '.found')" = "false" ]; then
+  echo "ERROR: Phase ${PHASE} not found in roadmap"
+  exit 1
+fi
+```
+
+## Directory Lookup
+
+Use `find-phase` for directory lookup:
+
+```bash
+PHASE_DIR=$(node ~/.claude/get-shit-done/bin/gsd-tools.cjs find-phase "${PHASE}" --raw)
+```

+</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-tools.cjs (preferred):**
+
+```bash
+# Commit with automatic commit_docs + gitignore checks:
+node ~/.claude/get-shit-done/bin/gsd-tools.cjs commit "docs: update state" --files .planning/STATE.md
+
+# Load config via state load (returns JSON):
+INIT=$(node ~/.claude/get-shit-done/bin/gsd-tools.cjs state load)

+# 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
+node ~/.claude/get-shit-done/bin/gsd-tools.cjs commit "docs: update state" --files .planning/STATE.md

+**When `search_gitignored: true`:**
+- Add `--no-ignore` to broad rg searches that should include `.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=$(node ~/.claude/get-shit-done/bin/gsd-tools.cjs init execute-phase "1")
+# JSON output includes: branching_strategy, phase_branch_template, milestone_branch_template
+```
+
+Or use `state load` for the config values:
+```bash
+INIT=$(node ~/.claude/get-shit-done/bin/gsd-tools.cjs state load)
+# 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 "$MILESTONE_NAME" | tr '[:upper:]' '[:lower:]' | sed 's/[^a-z0-9]/-/g' | sed 's/--*/-/g' | sed 's/^-//;s/-$//')

+  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 |
