Plugin Verified ActiveGet Shit Done -- a structured workflow plugin for Claude Code that adds planning, execution, and verification commands with MCP-backed project state
This plugin offers a structured and efficient workflow for managing projects within Claude Code, enabling users to plan, execute, and verify tasks with advanced features like MCP-backed state and auto-resume.
Features
- 83 slash commands for project lifecycle management
- 33 agent definitions for specialized workflow roles
- MCP server for queryable project state
- Bundled GSD SDK (no external installs needed)
- Hooks for session context loading and workflow enforcement
- Auto-resume across /compact via PreCompact and SessionStart hooks
Use Cases
- Starting a new project and planning phases
- Executing phases with detailed tasks and verification criteria
- Debugging issues with systematic investigation and state management
- Creating AI-driven documentation for project artifacts
Non-Goals
- Replacing core Claude Code functionality
- Managing external project dependencies outside of the GSD framework
- Providing generic AI capabilities not specific to workflow management

Skill (82)
Add an idea to the backlog parking lot (999.x numbering)
Add phase to end of current milestone in roadmap
Generate tests for a completed phase based on UAT criteria and implementation
Capture idea or task as todo from current conversation context
Generate AI design contract (AI-SPEC.md) for phases that involve building AI systems — framework selection, implementation guidance from official docs, and evaluation strategy
Analyze phase dependencies and suggest Depends on entries for ROADMAP.md
Autonomous audit-to-fix pipeline — find issues, classify, fix, test, commit
Audit milestone completion against original intent before archiving
Cross-phase audit of all outstanding UAT and verification items
Run all remaining phases autonomously — discuss→plan→execute per phase
List pending todos and select one to work on
Archive accumulated phase directories from completed milestones
Review source files changed during a phase for bugs, security issues, and code quality problems
Auto-fix issues found by code review in REVIEW.md. Spawns fixer agent, commits each fix atomically, produces REVIEW-FIX.md summary.
Archive completed milestone and prepare for next version
Systematic debugging with persistent state across context resets
Gather phase context through adaptive questioning before planning. Use --all to skip area selection and discuss all gray areas interactively. Use --auto to skip interactive questions (Claude picks recommended defaults). Use --chain for interactive discuss followed by automatic plan+execute. Use --power for bulk question generation into a file-based UI (answer at your own pace).
Route freeform text to the right GSD command automatically
Generate or update project documentation verified against the codebase
Retroactively audit an executed AI phase's evaluation coverage — scores each eval dimension as COVERED/PARTIAL/MISSING and produces an actionable EVAL-REVIEW.md with remediation plan
Execute all plans in a phase with wave-based parallelization
Socratic ideation and idea routing — think through ideas before committing to plans
Execute a trivial task inline — no subagents, no planning overhead
Post-mortem investigation for failed GSD workflows — analyzes git history, artifacts, and state to diagnose what went wrong
Import a GSD-2 (.gsd/) project back to GSD v1 (.planning/) format
Build, query, and inspect the project knowledge graph in .planning/graphs/
Diagnose planning directory health and optionally repair issues
Show available GSD commands and usage guide
Ingest external plans with conflict detection against project decisions before writing anything.
Triage and review all open GitHub issues and PRs against project templates and contribution guidelines
Scan a repo for mixed ADRs, PRDs, SPECs, and DOCs and bootstrap or merge the full .planning/ setup from them. Classifies each doc in parallel, synthesizes a consolidated context with a conflicts report, and routes to new-project or merge-milestone depending on whether .planning/ already exists.
Insert urgent work as decimal phase (e.g., 72.1) between existing phases
Query, inspect, or refresh codebase intelligence files in .planning/intel/
Join the GSD Discord community
Surface Claude's assumptions about a phase approach before planning
List active GSD workspaces and their status
Interactive command center for managing multiple phases from one terminal
Analyze codebase with parallel mapper agents to produce .planning/codebase/ documents
Generate a comprehensive project summary from milestone artifacts for team onboarding and review
Plan an MVP-mode phase — captures an "As a / I want to / So that" user story, runs SPIDR splitting, then delegates to plan-phase
Start a new milestone cycle — update PROJECT.md and route to requirements
Initialize a new project with deep context gathering and PROJECT.md
Create an isolated workspace with repo copies and independent .planning/
Automatically advance to the next logical step in the GSD workflow
Zero-friction idea capture. Append, list, or promote notes to todos.
Create context handoff when pausing work mid-phase
Create phases to close all gaps identified by milestone audit
Create detailed phase plan (PLAN.md) with verification loop
Capture a forward-looking idea with trigger conditions — surfaces automatically at the right milestone
Create a clean PR branch by filtering out .planning/ commits — ready for code review
Generate developer behavioral profile and create Claude-discoverable artifacts
Check project progress, show context, and route to next action (execute or plan). Use --forensic to append a 6-check integrity audit after the standard report.
Execute a quick task with GSD guarantees (atomic commits, state tracking) but skip optional agents
Reapply local modifications after a GSD update
Remove a future phase from roadmap and renumber subsequent phases
Remove a GSD workspace and clean up worktrees
Research how to implement a phase (standalone - usually use /gsd:plan-phase instead)
Schedule a future resume of work - e.g. '/gsd:resume-at 09:00', '/gsd:resume-at +2h', or '/gsd:resume-at 04:00 --cmd /gsd:execute-phase 9'
Resume work from previous session with full context restoration
Request cross-AI peer review of phase plans from external AI CLIs
Review and promote backlog items to active milestone
Rapid codebase assessment — lightweight alternative to /gsd:map-codebase
Retroactively verify threat mitigations for a completed phase
Generate a session report with token usage estimates, work summary, and outcomes
Switch model profile for GSD agents (quality/balanced/budget/inherit)
Configure GSD workflow toggles and model profile
Create PR, run review, and prepare for merge after verification passes
Sketch UI/design ideas with throwaway HTML mockups, or propose what to sketch next (frontier mode)
Package sketch design findings into a persistent project skill for future build conversations
Socratic spec refinement — clarify WHAT a phase delivers with ambiguity scoring before discuss-phase. Produces a SPEC.md with falsifiable requirements locked before implementation decisions begin.
Spike an idea through experiential exploration, or propose what to spike next (frontier mode)
Package spike findings into a persistent project skill for future build conversations
Display project statistics — phases, plans, requirements, git metrics, and timeline
Manage persistent context threads for cross-session work
Generate UI design contract (UI-SPEC.md) for frontend phases
Retroactive 6-pillar visual audit of implemented frontend code
[BETA] Offload plan phase to Claude Code's ultraplan cloud — drafts remotely while terminal stays free, review in browser with inline comments, import back via /gsd:import. Claude Code only.
Safe git revert. Roll back phase or plan commits using the phase manifest with dependency checks.
Update GSD to latest version with changelog display
Retroactively audit and fill Nyquist validation gaps for a completed phase
Validate built features through conversational UAT
Manage parallel workstreams — list, create, switch, status, progress, complete, and resume
