+## Auto-Discuss Mode (Synthetic Stakeholder)
+
+When running in full-auto mode (`auto_mode_scope: milestone`), Discuss is NOT skipped. Instead, it runs as an internal dialogue using the user's decision profile.
+
+### How it works
+
+1. Read `.gsd/PROFILE.md` — this is the user's decision-making profile
+2. For each gray area, simulate a discussion:
+   - **You (Planner):** Ask the question as you would ask the user
+   - **Synthetic Stakeholder (Profile):** Answer based on PROFILE.md — using their instincts, preferences, strong opinions, and red lines
+   - The stakeholder MUST cite which part of the profile drives the decision
+3. Write the results to `.gsd/S{nn}-DISCUSS-AUTO.md` with full transparency:
+
+```markdown
+# S{nn} Auto-Discuss — Synthetic Stakeholder Decisions
+
+> These decisions were made by auto-mode using your decision profile.
+> Review after UNIFY. Update your profile with /gsd-cc-profile if
+> any decision doesn't match how you'd actually decide.
+
+## Decision 1: {topic}
+**Question:** {what was ambiguous}
+**Stakeholder says:** {decision with reasoning}
+**Profile basis:** {which section/quote from PROFILE.md}
+**Confidence:** {high|medium|low — how clearly does the profile cover this?}
+
+## Decision 2: {topic}
+...
+```
+
+### Confidence levels
+
+- **High:** The profile explicitly covers this (e.g., profile says "always REST for MVPs" and the question is REST vs GraphQL for an MVP)
+- **Medium:** The profile gives strong hints but doesn't directly address this (e.g., profile says "simplicity over flexibility" and the question is about a specific pattern choice)
+- **Low:** The profile doesn't clearly address this — the stakeholder is guessing. Mark these clearly so the user knows to review them.
+
+### Rules for the Synthetic Stakeholder
+
+- **Stay in character.** Answer as the user would, not as a senior dev or a textbook.
+- **Use their language.** If the profile quotes them saying "I hate ORMs", the stakeholder says "no ORM" — not "consider avoiding object-relational mapping."
+- **Respect red lines.** If the profile says "NEVER use MongoDB", the stakeholder never recommends MongoDB, even if it's technically optimal.
+- **Be honest about uncertainty.** If the profile doesn't cover a topic, say "the profile doesn't address this, defaulting to {safe choice} — review recommended."
+- **Capture wildcards.** If the profile has unpopular opinions or unconventional preferences, USE them. That's the whole point.
+
+### If no PROFILE.md exists
+
+If auto-mode runs without a profile, warn in the auto-discuss output:
+
+```
+⚠ No decision profile found. Decisions are based on general best practices.
+  Run /gsd-cc-profile to create your profile for better auto-mode decisions.
+```
+
 ## When to Skip Discuss
 
-Discuss is optional. The `/gsd-cc` router may skip it if:
+In MANUAL mode, Discuss is optional. The `/gsd-cc` router may skip it if:
 - The slice description is already very specific
 - The user explicitly says "skip discuss, go straight to planning"
 - The rigor is `tight` and the slice is small
 
-If skipped, the plan phase works without CONTEXT.md — it just has less input.
+In FULL AUTO mode, Discuss is NEVER skipped — it runs as Auto-Discuss.

+  Deep interview to build a decision-making profile. Creates PROFILE.md

+
+# /gsd-cc-profile — Decision Profile
+
+You conduct a deep interview to understand how the user thinks, decides, and builds software. The result is a PROFILE.md that lets a subagent simulate their decision-making in auto-mode discussions.
+
+This is NOT a preferences survey. This is a deep conversation that reveals HOW someone thinks — their instincts, tradeoffs, things they've been burned by, hills they'll die on.
+
+## Language
+
+Check for "GSD-CC language: {lang}" in CLAUDE.md (loaded automatically). All output must use that language. If not found, default to English.
+
+## When to Run
+
+- Before the first full-auto run (router should suggest this)
+- When the user wants to update their profile
+- Anytime via `/gsd-cc-profile`
+
+If `.gsd/PROFILE.md` already exists, ask: "You already have a profile. Update it or start fresh?"
+
+## The Interview
+
+Go deep. This interview should take 15-25 minutes. Don't rush. Ask ONE question at a time. Follow up on interesting answers. The goal is to understand the person, not fill out a form.
+
+### Section 1: Background & Context
+
+- "What's your technical background? Self-taught, bootcamp, CS degree, something else?"
+- "How long have you been building software?"
+- "What's the biggest project you've shipped?"
+- "Do you code full-time or is this a side project / business tool?"
+
+Adapt the rest of the interview based on their level. A senior engineer gets different questions than a first-time vibe coder.
+
+### Section 2: Architecture & Design Philosophy
+
+- "When you start a new project, what do you set up first?"
+- "Monolith or microservices — and why?"
+- "How do you feel about ORMs? Raw SQL? Query builders?"
+- "REST, GraphQL, tRPC, gRPC — what's your instinct and why?"
+- "How much abstraction is too much? When does DRY become harmful?"
+- "Do you prefer convention over configuration (Rails-style) or explicit control (Express-style)?"
+- "What's a popular pattern or tool that you think is overrated?"
+- "What's an unpopular opinion you hold about software architecture?"
+
+### Section 3: Tech Stack Preferences
+
+- "What languages do you reach for? What languages do you avoid?"
+- "Frontend framework preference? Why?"
+- "Database preference? SQL vs NoSQL — when and why?"
+- "How do you feel about TypeScript? Strict mode?"
+- "Testing: TDD, test-after, or 'I'll add tests when it breaks'?"
+- "CSS approach: Tailwind, CSS modules, styled-components, vanilla?"
+- "Package preferences: do you prefer fewer dependencies or best-in-class for each need?"
+
+### Section 4: Quality & Standards
+
+- "What does 'done' mean to you? When is code ready to ship?"
+- "How much error handling is enough? Do you handle every edge case upfront or ship and iterate?"
+- "Logging and observability: how much do you add from the start?"
+- "Performance: optimize early or only when there's a measured problem?"
+- "Security: what do you always do, what do you skip for MVPs?"
+- "Code comments: a lot, a little, or 'the code should speak for itself'?"
+
+### Section 5: Process & Decision-Making
+
+- "When you face two valid approaches, how do you decide? Gut feeling? Research? Ask someone?"
+- "How do you handle scope creep? Are you strict about MVP or do you let features grow?"
+- "When something isn't working, how long do you try before switching approaches?"
+- "What makes you rage-quit a library or tool?"
+- "What's a mistake you've made that changed how you build things?"
+
+### Section 6: Aesthetics & UX (if relevant)
+
+- "How important is UI polish for v1?"
+- "Do you prefer minimal/clean or feature-rich/dense interfaces?"
+- "Mobile-first or desktop-first?"
+- "Dark mode?"
+- "What apps or websites do you think are really well-designed?"
+
+### Section 7: Red Lines & Non-Negotiables
+
+- "What should Claude NEVER do in your projects?"
+- "What patterns or approaches are absolute no-gos for you?"
+- "Any libraries or tools you refuse to use? Why?"
+- "Is there anything where you'd rather have ugly-but-working than clean-but-incomplete?"
+
+### Section 8: Wildcards
+
+- "If you could mass-delete one concept from modern software development, what would it be?"
+- "What do beginners understand better than experts?"
+- "Is there a 'wrong' way of doing things that you secretly think is fine?"
+
+## Generating PROFILE.md
+
+After the interview, synthesize everything into `.gsd/PROFILE.md`:
+
+```markdown
+# Decision Profile
+
+> This profile is used by auto-mode to simulate your decision-making.
+> Update with /gsd-cc-profile. Review anytime.
+

+- Primary languages: {list}
+- Domain expertise: {areas}

+## Architecture Instincts
+{Paragraph capturing their architectural philosophy — not a list of

+## Decision-Making Style
+{How they make decisions when facing tradeoffs. Do they optimize for
+speed, correctness, simplicity? When do they research vs. go with
+gut feeling? How much risk are they comfortable with?}
+
+## Strong Opinions
+{Things they feel strongly about — both positive and negative.
+These are the hills they'll die on. Each with a brief WHY.}
+
+## Red Lines
+{Absolute no-gos. Things the synthetic stakeholder must NEVER choose
+or recommend. Each with context for why.}
+
+## Wildcards & Insights
+{Non-obvious things from the interview — their unpopular opinions,
+things they think beginners understand better, "wrong" approaches
+they secretly like. These are the things that make the synthetic
+stakeholder sound like THEM, not like a generic senior dev.}
+```
+
+## Important Rules
+
+- **Go deep, not wide.** If someone says "I prefer REST", ask WHY. The why is more valuable than the what — it lets the synthetic stakeholder reason about NEW situations.
+- **Capture contradictions.** "I love TypeScript strict mode but I skip it for prototypes" — this nuance is what makes the profile useful.
+- **Don't judge.** If they say "I don't write tests" — don't lecture. Understand why. Maybe they have a good reason. The profile should reflect who they ARE, not who they should be.
+- **Quote them.** When they say something particularly characteristic, use their exact words in the profile. A synthetic stakeholder that sounds like them is more useful than one that sounds like a textbook.
+- **This is not a settings file.** It's a character sheet. The goal is that someone reading the profile would say "yeah, that's exactly how [name] thinks."
