INIT=$(gsd-sdk query init.progress)
if [[ "$INIT" == @file:* ]]; then INIT=$(cat "${INIT#@file:}"); fi
Extract from init JSON: project_exists, roadmap_exists, state_exists, phases, current_phase, next_phase, milestone_version, completed_count, phase_count, paused_at, state_path, roadmap_path, project_path, config_path.
DISCUSS_MODE=$(gsd-sdk query config-get workflow.discuss_mode 2>/dev/null || echo "discuss")
If project_exists is false (no .planning/ directory):
No planning structure found.
Run /gsd-new-project to start a new project.
Exit.
If missing STATE.md: suggest /gsd-new-project.
If ROADMAP.md missing but PROJECT.md exists:
This means a milestone was completed and archived. Go to Route F (between milestones).
If missing both ROADMAP.md and PROJECT.md: suggest /gsd-new-project.
Instead of reading full files, use targeted tools to get only the data needed for the report:
ROADMAP=$(gsd-sdk query roadmap.analyze)STATE=$(gsd-sdk query state-snapshot)
This minimizes orchestrator context usage.
ROADMAP=$(gsd-sdk query roadmap.analyze)
This returns structured JSON with:
- All phases with disk status (complete/partial/planned/empty/no_directory)
- Goal and dependencies per phase
- Plan and summary counts per phase
- Aggregated stats: total plans, summaries, progress percent
- Current and next phase identification
Use this instead of manually reading/parsing ROADMAP.md.
- Find the 2-3 most recent SUMMARY.md files
- Use
summary-extractfor efficient parsing:gsd-sdk query summary-extract <path> --fields one_liner - This shows "what we've been working on"
- Use
current_phaseandnext_phasefrom$ROADMAP - Note
paused_atif work was paused (from$STATE) - Count pending todos: use
init todosorlist-todos - Check for active debug sessions:
(ls .planning/debug/*.md 2>/dev/null || true) | grep -v resolved | wc -l
# Get formatted progress bar
PROGRESS_BAR=$(gsd-sdk query progress.bar --raw)

(Only show this section if count > 0)
## What's Next
[Next phase/plan objective from roadmap analyze]
Step 1: Count plans, summaries, and issues in current phase
List files in the current phase directory:
(ls -1 .planning/phases/[current-phase-dir]/*-PLAN.md 2>/dev/null || true) | wc -l
(ls -1 .planning/phases/[current-phase-dir]/*-SUMMARY.md 2>/dev/null || true) | wc -l
(ls -1 .planning/phases/[current-phase-dir]/*-UAT.md 2>/dev/null || true) | wc -l
State: "This phase has {X} plans, {Y} summaries."
Step 1.5: Check for unaddressed UAT gaps
Check for UAT.md files with status "diagnosed" (has gaps needing fixes).
# Check for diagnosed UAT with gaps or partial (incomplete) testing
grep -l "status: diagnosed\|status: partial" .planning/phases/[current-phase-dir]/*-UAT.md 2>/dev/null || true
Track:
uat_with_gaps: UAT.md files with status "diagnosed" (gaps need fixing)uat_partial: UAT.md files with status "partial" (incomplete testing)
Step 1.6: Cross-phase health check
Scan ALL phases in the current milestone for outstanding verification debt using the CLI (which respects milestone boundaries via getMilestonePhaseFilter):
DEBT=$(gsd-sdk query audit-uat --raw 2>/dev/null)
Parse JSON for summary.total_items and summary.total_files.
Track: outstanding_debt — summary.total_items from the audit.
If outstanding_debt > 0: Add a warning section to the progress report output (in the report step), placed between "## What's Next" and the route suggestion:
## Verification Debt ({N} files across prior phases)
| Phase | File | Issue |
|-------|------|-------|
| {phase} | {filename} | {pending_count} pending, {skipped_count} skipped, {blocked_count} blocked |
| {phase} | {filename} | human_needed — {count} items |
Review: `/gsd-audit-uat ${GSD_WS}` — full cross-phase audit
Resume testing: `/gsd-verify-work {phase} ${GSD_WS}` — retest specific phase
This is a WARNING, not a blocker — routing proceeds normally. The debt is visible so the user can make an informed choice.
Step 2: Route based on counts
| Condition | Meaning | Action |
|---|---|---|
| uat_partial > 0 | UAT testing incomplete | Go to Route E.2 |
| uat_with_gaps > 0 | UAT gaps need fix plans | Go to Route E |
| summaries < plans | Unexecuted plans exist | Go to Route A |
| summaries = plans AND plans > 0 | Phase complete | Go to Step 3 |
| plans = 0 | Phase not yet planned | Go to Route B |
Route A: Unexecuted plan exists
Find the first PLAN.md without matching SUMMARY.md.
Read its <objective> section.
---
## ▶ Next Up — [${PROJECT_CODE}] ${PROJECT_TITLE}
**{phase}-{plan}: [Plan Name]** — [objective summary from PLAN.md]
`/clear` then:
`/gsd-execute-phase {phase} ${GSD_WS}`
---
Route B: Phase needs planning
Check if {phase_num}-CONTEXT.md exists in phase directory.
Check if current phase has UI indicators:
PHASE_SECTION=$(gsd-sdk query roadmap.get-phase "${CURRENT_PHASE}" 2>/dev/null)
PHASE_HAS_UI=$(echo "$PHASE_SECTION" | grep -qi "UI hint.*yes" && echo "true" || echo "false")
If CONTEXT.md exists:
---
## ▶ Next Up — [${PROJECT_CODE}] ${PROJECT_TITLE}
**Phase {N}: {Name}** — {Goal from ROADMAP.md}
<sub>✓ Context gathered, ready to plan</sub>
`/clear` then:
`/gsd-plan-phase {phase-number} ${GSD_WS}`
---
If CONTEXT.md does NOT exist AND phase has UI (PHASE_HAS_UI is true):
---
## ▶ Next Up — [${PROJECT_CODE}] ${PROJECT_TITLE}
**Phase {N}: {Name}** — {Goal from ROADMAP.md}
`/clear` then:
`/gsd-discuss-phase {phase}` — gather context and clarify approach

**Also available:**
- `/gsd-ui-phase {phase}` — generate UI design contract (recommended for frontend phases)
- `/gsd-plan-phase {phase}` — skip discussion, plan directly
- `/gsd-list-phase-assumptions {phase}` — see Claude's assumptions
---
If CONTEXT.md does NOT exist AND phase has no UI:
---
## ▶ Next Up — [${PROJECT_CODE}] ${PROJECT_TITLE}
**Phase {N}: {Name}** — {Goal from ROADMAP.md}
`/clear` then:
`/gsd-discuss-phase {phase} ${GSD_WS}` — gather context and clarify approach

- `/gsd-list-phase-assumptions {phase} ${GSD_WS}` — see Claude's assumptions
---
Route E: UAT gaps need fix plans
UAT.md exists with gaps (diagnosed issues). User needs to plan fixes.
---
## ⚠ UAT Gaps Found
**{phase_num}-UAT.md** has {N} gaps requiring fixes.
`/clear` then:
`/gsd-plan-phase {phase} --gaps ${GSD_WS}`
---
**Also available:**
- `/gsd-execute-phase {phase} ${GSD_WS}` — execute phase plans
- `/gsd-verify-work {phase} ${GSD_WS}` — run more UAT testing
---
Route E.2: UAT testing incomplete (partial)
UAT.md exists with status: partial — testing session ended before all items resolved.
---
## Incomplete UAT Testing
**{phase_num}-UAT.md** has {N} unresolved tests (pending, blocked, or skipped).
`/clear` then:
`/gsd-verify-work {phase} ${GSD_WS}` — resume testing from where you left off
---
**Also available:**
- `/gsd-audit-uat ${GSD_WS}` — full cross-phase UAT audit
- `/gsd-execute-phase {phase} ${GSD_WS}` — execute phase plans
---
Step 3: Check milestone status (only when phase complete)
Read ROADMAP.md and identify:
- Current phase number
- All phase numbers in the current milestone section
Count total phases and identify the highest phase number.
State: "Current phase is {X}. Milestone has {N} phases (highest: {Y})."
Route based on milestone status:
| Condition | Meaning | Action |
|---|---|---|
| current phase < highest phase | More phases remain | Go to Route C |
| current phase = highest phase | Milestone complete | Go to Route D |
Route C: Phase complete, more phases remain
Read ROADMAP.md to get the next phase's name and goal.
Check if next phase has UI indicators:
NEXT_PHASE_SECTION=$(gsd-sdk query roadmap.get-phase "$((Z+1))" 2>/dev/null)
NEXT_HAS_UI=$(echo "$NEXT_PHASE_SECTION" | grep -qi "UI hint.*yes" && echo "true" || echo "false")
If next phase has UI (NEXT_HAS_UI is true):
---
## ✓ Phase {Z} Complete
## ▶ Next Up — [${PROJECT_CODE}] ${PROJECT_TITLE}
**Phase {Z+1}: {Name}** — {Goal from ROADMAP.md}
`/clear` then:
`/gsd-discuss-phase {Z+1}` — gather context and clarify approach
---
**Also available:**
- `/gsd-ui-phase {Z+1}` — generate UI design contract (recommended for frontend phases)
- `/gsd-plan-phase {Z+1}` — skip discussion, plan directly
- `/gsd-verify-work {Z}` — user acceptance test before continuing
---
If next phase has no UI:
---
## ✓ Phase {Z} Complete
## ▶ Next Up — [${PROJECT_CODE}] ${PROJECT_TITLE}
**Phase {Z+1}: {Name}** — {Goal from ROADMAP.md}
`/clear` then:
`/gsd-discuss-phase {Z+1} ${GSD_WS}` — gather context and clarify approach
---
**Also available:**
- `/gsd-plan-phase {Z+1} ${GSD_WS}` — skip discussion, plan directly
- `/gsd-verify-work {Z} ${GSD_WS}` — user acceptance test before continuing
---
Route D: Milestone complete
---
## 🎉 Milestone Complete
All {N} phases finished!
## ▶ Next Up — [${PROJECT_CODE}] ${PROJECT_TITLE}
**Complete Milestone** — archive and prepare for next
`/clear` then:
`/gsd-complete-milestone ${GSD_WS}`
---
**Also available:**
- `/gsd-verify-work ${GSD_WS}` — user acceptance test before completing milestone
---
Route F: Between milestones (ROADMAP.md missing, PROJECT.md exists)
A milestone was completed and archived. Ready to start the next milestone cycle.
Read MILESTONES.md to find the last completed milestone version.
---
## ✓ Milestone v{X.Y} Complete
Ready to plan the next milestone.
## ▶ Next Up — [${PROJECT_CODE}] ${PROJECT_TITLE}
**Start Next Milestone** — questioning → research → requirements → roadmap
`/clear` then:
`/gsd-new-milestone ${GSD_WS}`
---
- Phase complete but next phase not planned → offer
/gsd-plan-phase [next] ${GSD_WS} - All work complete → offer milestone completion
- Blockers present → highlight before offering to continue
- Handoff file exists → mention it, offer
/gsd-resume-work ${GSD_WS}
If --forensic is NOT present in ARGUMENTS: skip this step entirely. Default progress behavior (standard report + routing) is unchanged.
If --forensic IS present: after the standard report and routing suggestion have been displayed, append the following audit section.
Forensic Integrity Audit
Running 6 deep checks against project state...
Run each check in order. For each check, emit ✓ (pass) or ⚠ (warning) with concrete evidence when a problem is found.
Check 1 — STATE vs artifact consistency
Read STATE.md status / stopped_at fields (from the STATE snapshot already loaded). Compare against the artifact count from the roadmap analysis. If STATE.md claims the current phase is pending/mid-flight but the artifact count shows it as complete (all PLAN.md files have matching SUMMARY.md files), flag inconsistency. Emit:
- ✓
STATE.md consistent with artifact count— if both agree - ⚠
STATE.md claims [status] but artifact count shows phase complete— with the specific values
Check 2 — Orphaned handoff files
Check for existence of:
ls .planning/HANDOFF.json .planning/phases/*/.continue-here.md .planning/phases/*/*HANDOFF*.md 2>/dev/null || true
Also check .planning/continue-here.md.
Emit:
- ✓
No orphaned handoff files— if none found - ⚠
Orphaned handoff files found— list each file path, add:→ Work was paused mid-flight. Read the handoff before continuing.
Check 3 — Deferred scope drift
Search phase artifacts (CONTEXT.md, DISCUSSION-LOG.md, BUG-BRIEF.md, VERIFICATION.md, SUMMARY.md, HANDOFF.md files under .planning/phases/) for patterns:
grep -rl "defer to Phase\|future phase\|out of scope Phase\|deferred to Phase" .planning/phases/ 2>/dev/null || true
For each match, extract the referenced phase number. Cross-reference against ROADMAP.md phase list. If the referenced phase number is NOT in ROADMAP.md, flag as deferred scope not captured.
Emit:
- ✓
All deferred scope captured in ROADMAP— if no mismatches - ⚠
Deferred scope references phase(s) not in ROADMAP— list: file, reference text, missing phase number
Check 4 — Memory-flagged pending work
Check if .planning/MEMORY.md or .planning/memory/ exists:
ls .planning/MEMORY.md .planning/memory/*.md 2>/dev/null || true
If found, grep for entries containing: pending, status, deferred, not yet run, backfill, blocking.
Emit:
- ✓
No memory entries flagging pending work— if none found or no MEMORY.md - ⚠
Memory entries flag pending/deferred work— list the matching lines (max 5, truncated at 80 chars)
Check 5 — Blocking operational todos
Check for pending todos:
ls .planning/todos/pending/*.md 2>/dev/null || true
For files found, scan for keywords indicating operational blockers: script, credential, API key, manual, verification, setup, configure, run .
Emit:
- ✓
No blocking operational todos— if no pending todos or none match operational keywords - ⚠
Blocking operational todos found— list the file names and matching keywords (max 5)
Check 6 — Uncommitted code
git status --porcelain 2>/dev/null | grep -v "^??" | grep -v "^.planning\/" | grep -v "^\.\." | head -10
If output is non-empty (modified/staged files outside .planning/), flag as uncommitted code.
Emit:
- ✓
Working tree clean— if no modified files outside.planning/ - ⚠
Uncommitted changes in source files— list up to 10 file paths
After all 6 checks, display the verdict:
If all 6 checks passed:
### Verdict: CLEAN
The standard progress report is trustworthy — proceed with the routing suggestion above.
If 1 or more checks failed:
### Verdict: N INTEGRITY ISSUE(S) FOUND
The standard progress report may not reflect true project state.
Review the flagged items above before acting on the routing suggestion.
Then for each failed check, add a concrete next action:
- Check 2 (orphaned handoff):
Read the handoff file(s) and resume from where work was paused: /gsd-resume-work ${GSD_WS} - Check 3 (deferred scope):
Add the missing phases to ROADMAP.md or update the deferred references - Check 4 (memory pending):
Review the flagged memory entries and resolve or clear them - Check 5 (blocking todos):
Complete the operational steps in .planning/todos/pending/ before continuing - Check 6 (uncommitted code):
Commit or stash the uncommitted changes before advancing - Check 1 (STATE inconsistency):
Run /gsd-verify-work ${PHASE} ${GSD_WS} to reconcile state
- Rich context provided (recent work, decisions, issues)
- Current position clear with visual progress
- What's next clearly explained
- Smart routing: /gsd-execute-phase if plans exist, /gsd-plan-phase if not
- User confirms before any action
- Seamless handoff to appropriate gsd command
