 ## Step 4: Verify Artifacts (Three Levels)
 
-For each required artifact, verify three levels:
-
-### Level 1: Existence
-
-```bash
-check_exists() {
-  local path="$1"
-  if [ -f "$path" ]; then
-    echo "EXISTS"
-  elif [ -d "$path" ]; then
-    echo "EXISTS (directory)"
-  else
-    echo "MISSING"
-  fi
-}
-```
-
-If MISSING → artifact fails, record and continue.
-
-### Level 2: Substantive
-
-Check that the file has real implementation, not a stub.
-
-**Line count check:**
-
-```bash
-check_length() {
-  local path="$1"
-  local min_lines="$2"
-  local lines=$(wc -l < "$path" 2>/dev/null || echo 0)
-  [ "$lines" -ge "$min_lines" ] && echo "SUBSTANTIVE ($lines lines)" || echo "THIN ($lines lines)"
-}
-```
-
-Minimum lines by type:
-
-- Component: 15+ lines
-- API route: 10+ lines
-- Hook/util: 10+ lines
-- Schema model: 5+ lines
-
-**Stub pattern check:**
-
-```bash
-check_stubs() {
-  local path="$1"
-
-  # Universal stub patterns
-  local stubs=$(grep -c -E "TODO|FIXME|placeholder|not implemented|coming soon" "$path" 2>/dev/null || echo 0)
-
-  # Empty returns
-  local empty=$(grep -c -E "return null|return undefined|return \{\}|return \[\]" "$path" 2>/dev/null || echo 0)

-
-  local total=$((stubs + empty + placeholder))
-  [ "$total" -gt 0 ] && echo "STUB_PATTERNS ($total found)" || echo "NO_STUBS"

-**Export check (for components/hooks):**
+Use gsd-tools for artifact verification against must_haves in PLAN frontmatter:
 
 ```bash

-  local path="$1"
-  grep -E "^export (default )?(function|const|class)" "$path" && echo "HAS_EXPORTS" || echo "NO_EXPORTS"
-}
+ARTIFACT_RESULT=$(node ~/.config/opencode/get-shit-done/bin/gsd-tools.cjs verify artifacts "$PLAN_PATH")
 ```
 
-**Combine level 2 results:**
+Parse JSON result: `{ all_passed, passed, total, artifacts: [{path, exists, issues, passed}] }`
 
-- SUBSTANTIVE: Adequate length + no stubs + has exports
-- STUB: Too short OR has stub patterns OR no exports
-- PARTIAL: Mixed signals (length OK but has some stubs)
+For each artifact in result:
+- `exists=false` → MISSING
+- `issues` contains "Only N lines" or "Missing pattern" → STUB
+- `passed=true` → VERIFIED
 
-### Level 3: Wired
+**Artifact status mapping:**
 
-Check that the artifact is connected to the system.

+| true   | false        | ✗ STUB      |
+| false  | -            | ✗ MISSING   |

+**For wiring verification (Level 3)**, check imports/usage manually for artifacts that pass Levels 1-2:
 
 ```bash

-  local artifact_name="$1"
