+
45
+ ## Why I Built This
46
+
47
+ I'm a solo developer. I don't write code — Claude Code does.
48
+
49
+ Other spec-driven development tools exist; BMAD, Speckit... But they all seem to make things way more complicated than they need to be (sprint ceremonies, story points, stakeholder syncs, retrospectives, Jira workflows) or lack real big picture understanding of what you're building. I'm not a 50-person software company. I don't want to play enterprise theater. I'm just a creative person trying to build great things that work.
50
+
51
+ So I built GSD. The complexity is in the system, not in your workflow. Behind the scenes: context engineering, XML prompt formatting, subagent orchestration, state management. What you see: a few commands that just work.
52
+
53
+ The system gives Claude everything it needs to do the work *and* verify it. I trust the workflow. It just does a good job.
54
+
55
+ That's what this is. No enterprise roleplay bullshit. Just an incredibly effective system for building cool stuff consistently using Claude Code.
56
+
57
+ — **TÂCHES**
58
+
59
+ ---
60
+
61
+ Vibecoding has a bad reputation. You describe what you want, AI generates code, and you get inconsistent garbage that falls apart at scale.
62
+
63
+ GSD fixes that. It's the context engineering layer that makes Claude Code reliable. Describe your idea, let the system extract everything it needs to know, and let Claude Code get to work.
64
+
65
+ ---
66
+
67
+ ## Who This Is For
68
+
69
+ People who want to describe what they want and have it built correctly — without pretending they're running a 50-person engineering org.
70
+
71
+ ---
72
+
73
+ ## Getting Started
74
+
75
+ ```bash
76
+ npx claude-cook
77
+ ```
78
+
79
+ The installer prompts you to choose:
80
+ 1. **Runtime** — Claude Code, OpenCode, Gemini, or all
81
+ 2. **Location** — Global (all projects) or local (current project only)
82
+
83
+ Verify with `/gsd:help` inside your chosen runtime.
84
+
85
+ ### Staying Updated
86
+
87
+ GSD evolves fast. Update periodically:
88
+
89
+ ```bash
90
+ npx claude-cook@latest
91
+ ```
92
+
93
+ <details>
94
+ <summary><strong>Non-interactive Install (Docker, CI, Scripts)</strong></summary>
95
+
96
+ ```bash
97
+ # Claude Code
98
+ npx claude-cook --claude --global # Install to ~/.claude/
99
+ npx claude-cook --claude --local # Install to ./.claude/
100
+
101
+ # OpenCode (open source, free models)
102
+ npx claude-cook --opencode --global # Install to ~/.config/opencode/
103
+
104
+ # Gemini CLI
105
+ npx claude-cook --gemini --global # Install to ~/.gemini/
106
+
107
+ # All runtimes
108
+ npx claude-cook --all --global # Install to all directories
109
+ ```
110
+
111
+ Use `--global` (`-g`) or `--local` (`-l`) to skip the location prompt.
112
+ Use `--claude`, `--opencode`, `--gemini`, or `--all` to skip the runtime prompt.
113
+
114
+ </details>
115
+
116
+ <details>
117
+ <summary><strong>Development Installation</strong></summary>
118
+
119
+ Clone the repository and run the installer locally:
120
+
121
+ ```bash
122
+ git clone https://github.com/glittercowboy/get-shit-done.git
123
+ cd get-shit-done
124
+ node bin/install.js --claude --local
125
+ ```
126
+
127
+ Installs to `./.claude/` for testing modifications before contributing.
128
+
129
+ </details>
130
+
131
+ ### Recommended: Skip Permissions Mode
132
+
133
+ GSD is designed for frictionless automation. Run Claude Code with:
134
+
135
+ ```bash
136
+ claude --dangerously-skip-permissions
137
+ ```
138
+
139
+ > [!TIP]
140
+ > This is how GSD is intended to be used — stopping to approve `date` and `git commit` 50 times defeats the purpose.
141
+
142
+ <details>
143
+ <summary><strong>Alternative: Granular Permissions</strong></summary>
144
+
145
+ If you prefer not to use that flag, add this to your project's `.claude/settings.json`:
146
+
147
+ ```json
148
+ {
149
+ "permissions": {
150
+ "allow": [
151
+ "Bash(date:*)",
152
+ "Bash(echo:*)",
153
+ "Bash(cat:*)",
154
+ "Bash(ls:*)",
155
+ "Bash(mkdir:*)",
156
+ "Bash(wc:*)",
157

159
+ "Bash(sort:*)",

163
+ "Bash(git commit:*)",
164
+ "Bash(git status:*)",
165
+ "Bash(git log:*)",
166
+ "Bash(git diff:*)",
167
+ "Bash(git tag:*)"
168
+ ]
169

+ }
171
+ ```

176
+
177
+ ## How It Works
178
+
179
+ > **Already have code?** Run `/gsd:map-codebase` first. It spawns parallel agents to analyze your stack, architecture, conventions, and concerns. Then `/gsd:new-project` knows your codebase — questions focus on what you're adding, and planning automatically loads your patterns.
180
+
181
+ ### 1. Initialize Project
182
+
183
+ ```
184
+ /gsd:new-project
185
+ ```
186
+
187
+ One command, one flow. The system:
188
+
189
+ 1. **Questions** — Asks until it understands your idea completely (goals, constraints, tech preferences, edge cases)
190
+ 2. **Research** — Spawns parallel agents to investigate the domain (optional but recommended)
191
+ 3. **Requirements** — Extracts what's v1, v2, and out of scope
192
+ 4. **Roadmap** — Creates phases mapped to requirements
193
+
194
+ You approve the roadmap. Now you're ready to build.
195
+
196
+ **Creates:** `PROJECT.md`, `REQUIREMENTS.md`, `ROADMAP.md`, `STATE.md`, `.planning/research/`
197
+
198
+ ---
199
+
200
+ ### 2. Discuss Phase
201
+
202
+ ```
203
+ /gsd:discuss-phase 1
204
+ ```
205
+
206
+ **This is where you shape the implementation.**
207
+
208
+ Your roadmap has a sentence or two per phase. That's not enough context to build something the way *you* imagine it. This step captures your preferences before anything gets researched or planned.
209
+
210
+ The system analyzes the phase and identifies gray areas based on what's being built:
211
+
212
+ - **Visual features** → Layout, density, interactions, empty states
213
+ - **APIs/CLIs** → Response format, flags, error handling, verbosity
214
+ - **Content systems** → Structure, tone, depth, flow
215
+ - **Organization tasks** → Grouping criteria, naming, duplicates, exceptions
216
+
217
+ For each area you select, it asks until you're satisfied. The output — `CONTEXT.md` — feeds directly into the next two steps:
218
+
219
+ 1. **Researcher reads it** — Knows what patterns to investigate ("user wants card layout" → research card component libraries)
220
+ 2. **Planner reads it** — Knows what decisions are locked ("infinite scroll decided" → plan includes scroll handling)
221
+
222
+ The deeper you go here, the more the system builds what you actually want. Skip it and you get reasonable defaults. Use it and you get *your* vision.
223
+
224
+ **Creates:** `{phase}-CONTEXT.md`
225
+
226
+ ---
227
+
228
+ ### 3. Plan Phase
229
+
230
+ ```
231
+ /gsd:plan-phase 1
232
+ ```
233
+
234
+ The system:
235
+
236
+ 1. **Researches** — Investigates how to implement this phase, guided by your CONTEXT.md decisions
237
+ 2. **Plans** — Creates 2-3 atomic task plans with XML structure
238
+ 3. **Verifies** — Checks plans against requirements, loops until they pass
239
+
240
+ Each plan is small enough to execute in a fresh context window. No degradation, no "I'll be more concise now."
241
+
242
+ **Creates:** `{phase}-RESEARCH.md`, `{phase}-{N}-PLAN.md`
243
+
244
+ ---
245
+
246
+ ### 4. Execute Phase
247
+
248
+ ```
249
+ /gsd:execute-phase 1
250
+ ```
251
+
252
+ The system:
253
+
254
+ 1. **Runs plans in waves** — Parallel where possible, sequential when dependent
255
+ 2. **Fresh context per plan** — 200k tokens purely for implementation, zero accumulated garbage
256
+ 3. **Commits per task** — Every task gets its own atomic commit
257
+ 4. **Verifies against goals** — Checks the codebase delivers what the phase promised
258
+
259
+ Walk away, come back to completed work with clean git history.
260
+
261
+ **Creates:** `{phase}-{N}-SUMMARY.md`, `{phase}-VERIFICATION.md`
262
+
263
+ ---
264
+
265
+ ### 5. Verify Work
266
+
267
+ ```
268
+ /gsd:verify-work 1
269
+ ```
270
+
271
+ **This is where you confirm it actually works.**
272
+
273
+ Automated verification checks that code exists and tests pass. But does the feature *work* the way you expected? This is your chance to use it.
274
+
275
+ The system:
276
+
277
+ 1. **Extracts testable deliverables** — What you should be able to do now
278
+ 2. **Walks you through one at a time** — "Can you log in with email?" Yes/no, or describe what's wrong
279
+ 3. **Diagnoses failures automatically** — Spawns debug agents to find root causes
280
+ 4. **Creates verified fix plans** — Ready for immediate re-execution
281
+
282
+ If everything passes, you move on. If something's broken, you don't manually debug — you just run `/gsd:execute-phase` again with the fix plans it created.
283
+
284
+ **Creates:** `{phase}-UAT.md`, fix plans if issues found
285
+
286
+ ---
287
+
288
+ ### 6. Repeat → Complete → Next Milestone
289
+
290
+ ```
291
+ /gsd:discuss-phase 2
292
+ /gsd:plan-phase 2
293
+ /gsd:execute-phase 2
294
+ /gsd:verify-work 2
295
+ ...
296
+ /gsd:complete-milestone
297
+ /gsd:new-milestone
298
+ ```
299
+
300
+ Loop **discuss → plan → execute → verify** until milestone complete.
301
+
302
+ Each phase gets your input (discuss), proper research (plan), clean execution (execute), and human verification (verify). Context stays fresh. Quality stays high.
303
+
304
+ When all phases are done, `/gsd:complete-milestone` archives the milestone and tags the release.
305
+
306
+ Then `/gsd:new-milestone` starts the next version — same flow as `new-project` but for your existing codebase. You describe what you want to build next, the system researches the domain, you scope requirements, and it creates a fresh roadmap. Each milestone is a clean cycle: define → build → ship.
307
+
308
+ ---
309
+
310
+ ### Quick Mode
311
+
312
+ ```
313
+ /gsd:quick
314
+ ```
315
+
316
+ **For ad-hoc tasks that don't need full planning.**
317
+
318
+ Quick mode gives you GSD guarantees (atomic commits, state tracking) with a faster path:
319
+
320
+ - **Same agents** — Planner + executor, same quality
321
+ - **Skips optional steps** — No research, no plan checker, no verifier
322
+ - **Separate tracking** — Lives in `.planning/quick/`, not phases
323
+
324
+ Use for: bug fixes, small features, config changes, one-off tasks.
325
+
326
+ ```
327
+ /gsd:quick
328
+ > What do you want to do? "Add dark mode toggle to settings"
329
+ ```
330
+
331
+ **Creates:** `.planning/quick/001-add-dark-mode-toggle/PLAN.md`, `SUMMARY.md`
332
+

334
+
335
+ ## Why It Works
336
+
337
+ ### Context Engineering
338
+
339
+ Claude Code is incredibly powerful *if* you give it the context it needs. Most people don't.
340
+
341
+ GSD handles it for you:
342
+
343
+ | File | What it does |
344
+ |------|--------------|
345
+ | `PROJECT.md` | Project vision, always loaded |
346
+ | `research/` | Ecosystem knowledge (stack, features, architecture, pitfalls) |
347
+ | `REQUIREMENTS.md` | Scoped v1/v2 requirements with phase traceability |
348
+ | `ROADMAP.md` | Where you're going, what's done |
349
+ | `STATE.md` | Decisions, blockers, position — memory across sessions |
350
+ | `PLAN.md` | Atomic task with XML structure, verification steps |
351
+ | `SUMMARY.md` | What happened, what changed, committed to history |
352
+ | `todos/` | Captured ideas and tasks for later work |
353
+
354
+ Size limits based on where Claude's quality degrades. Stay under, get consistent excellence.
355
+
356
+ ### XML Prompt Formatting
357
+
358
+ Every plan is structured XML optimized for Claude:
359
+
360
+ ```xml
361
+ <task type="auto">
362
+ <name>Create login endpoint</name>
363
+ <files>src/app/api/auth/login/route.ts</files>
364
+ <action>
365
+ Use jose for JWT (not jsonwebtoken - CommonJS issues).
366
+ Validate credentials against users table.
367
+ Return httpOnly cookie on success.
368
+ </action>
369
+ <verify>curl -X POST localhost:3000/api/auth/login returns 200 + Set-Cookie</verify>
370
+ <done>Valid credentials return cookie, invalid return 401</done>
371
+ </task>
372
+ ```
373
+
374
+ Precise instructions. No guessing. Verification built in.
375
+
376
+ ### Multi-Agent Orchestration
377
+
378
+ Every stage uses the same pattern: a thin orchestrator spawns specialized agents, collects results, and routes to the next step.
379
+
380
+ | Stage | Orchestrator does | Agents do |
381
+ |-------|------------------|-----------|
382
+ | Research | Coordinates, presents findings | 4 parallel researchers investigate stack, features, architecture, pitfalls |
383
+ | Planning | Validates, manages iteration | Planner creates plans, checker verifies, loop until pass |
384
+ | Execution | Groups into waves, tracks progress | Executors implement in parallel, each with fresh 200k context |
385
+ | Verification | Presents results, routes next | Verifier checks codebase against goals, debuggers diagnose failures |
386
+
387
+ The orchestrator never does heavy lifting. It spawns agents, waits, integrates results.
388
+
389
+ **The result:** You can run an entire phase — deep research, multiple plans created and verified, thousands of lines of code written across parallel executors, automated verification against goals — and your main context window stays at 30-40%. The work happens in fresh subagent contexts. Your session stays fast and responsive.
390
+
391
+ ### Atomic Git Commits
392
+
393
+ Each task gets its own commit immediately after completion:
394
+
395
+ ```bash
396
+ abc123f docs(08-02): complete user registration plan
397
+ def456g feat(08-02): add email confirmation flow
398
+ hij789k feat(08-02): implement password hashing
399
+ lmn012o feat(08-02): create registration endpoint
400
+ ```
401
+
402
+ > [!NOTE]
403
+ > **Benefits:** Git bisect finds exact failing task. Each task independently revertable. Clear history for Claude in future sessions. Better observability in AI-automated workflow.
404
+
405
+ Every commit is surgical, traceable, and meaningful.
406
+
407
+ ### Modular by Design
408
+
409
+ - Add phases to current milestone
410
+ - Insert urgent work between phases
411
+ - Complete milestones and start fresh
412
+ - Adjust plans without rebuilding everything
413
+
414
+ You're never locked in. The system adapts.

479
+
480
+ ## Configuration
481
+
482
+ GSD stores project settings in `.planning/config.json`. Configure during `/gsd:new-project` or update later with `/gsd:settings`.
483
+
484
+ ### Core Settings
485
+
486
+ | Setting | Options | Default | What it controls |
487
+ |---------|---------|---------|------------------|
488
+ | `mode` | `yolo`, `interactive` | `interactive` | Auto-approve vs confirm at each step |
489
+ | `depth` | `quick`, `standard`, `comprehensive` | `standard` | Planning thoroughness (phases × plans) |
490
+
491
+ ### Model Profiles
492
+
493
+ Control which Claude model each agent uses. Balance quality vs token spend.
494
+
495
+ | Profile | Planning | Execution | Verification |
496
+ |---------|----------|-----------|--------------|
497
+ | `quality` | Opus | Opus | Sonnet |
498
+ | `balanced` (default) | Opus | Sonnet | Sonnet |
499
+ | `budget` | Sonnet | Sonnet | Haiku |
500
+
501
+ Switch profiles:
502
+ ```
503
+ /gsd:set-profile budget
504
+ ```
505
+
506
+ Or configure via `/gsd:settings`.
507
+
508
+ ### Workflow Agents
509
+
510
+ These spawn additional agents during planning/execution. They improve quality but add tokens and time.
511
+
512
+ | Setting | Default | What it does |
513
+ |---------|---------|--------------|
514
+ | `workflow.research` | `true` | Researches domain before planning each phase |
515
+ | `workflow.plan_check` | `true` | Verifies plans achieve phase goals before execution |
516
+ | `workflow.verifier` | `true` | Confirms must-haves were delivered after execution |
517
+
518
+ Use `/gsd:settings` to toggle these, or override per-invocation:
519
+ - `/gsd:plan-phase --skip-research`
520
+ - `/gsd:plan-phase --skip-verify`
521
+
522
+ ### Execution
523
+
524
+ | Setting | Default | What it controls |
525
+ |---------|---------|------------------|
526
+ | `parallelization.enabled` | `true` | Run independent plans simultaneously |
527
+ | `planning.commit_docs` | `true` | Track `.planning/` in git |
528
+

530
+
531
+ ## Troubleshooting
532
+
533
+ **Commands not found after install?**
534
+ - Restart Claude Code to reload slash commands
535
+ - Verify files exist in `~/.claude/commands/gsd/` (global) or `./.claude/commands/gsd/` (local)
536
+
537
+ **Commands not working as expected?**
538
+ - Run `/gsd:help` to verify installation
539
+ - Re-run `npx claude-cook` to reinstall
540
+
541
+ **Updating to the latest version?**
542
+ ```bash
543
+ npx claude-cook@latest
544
+ ```
545
+
546
+ **Using Docker or containerized environments?**
547
+
548
+ If file reads fail with tilde paths (`~/.claude/...`), set `CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR` before installing:
549
+ ```bash
550
+ CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR=/home/youruser/.claude npx claude-cook --global
551
+ ```
552
+ This ensures absolute paths are used instead of `~` which may not expand correctly in containers.
553
+
554
+ ### Uninstalling
555
+
556
+ To remove GSD completely:
557
+
558
+ ```bash
559
+ # Global installs
560
+ npx claude-cook --claude --global --uninstall
561
+ npx claude-cook --opencode --global --uninstall
562
+
563
+ # Local installs (current project)
564
+ npx claude-cook --claude --local --uninstall
565
+ npx claude-cook --opencode --local --uninstall
566
+ ```
567
+
568
+ This removes all GSD commands, agents, hooks, and settings while preserving your other configurations.
569
+

571
+
572
+ ## Community Ports
573
+
574
+ OpenCode and Gemini CLI are now natively supported via `npx claude-cook`.
575
+
576
+ These community ports pioneered multi-runtime support:
577
+
578
+ | Project | Platform | Description |
579
+ |---------|----------|-------------|
580
+ | [gsd-opencode](https://github.com/rokicool/gsd-opencode) | OpenCode | Original OpenCode adaptation |
581
+ | [gsd-gemini](https://github.com/uberfuzzy/gsd-gemini) | Gemini CLI | Original Gemini adaptation |
