B. User Prompting
When the workflow needs user input, prompt the user conversationally:
- Present options as a numbered list in your response text
- Ask the user to reply with their choice
- For multi-select, ask for comma-separated numbers
C. Tool Usage
Use these Augment tools when executing GSD workflows:
launch-processfor running commands (terminal operations)str-replace-editorfor editing existing filesviewfor reading files and listing directoriessave-filefor creating new filesgrepfor searching code (or use MCP servers for advanced search)web-search,web-fetchfor web queriesadd_tasks,view_tasklist,update_tasksfor task management
D. Subagent Spawning
When the workflow needs to spawn a subagent:
- Use the built-in subagent spawning capability
- Define agent prompts in
.augment/agents/directory
Each mapper agent explores a focus area and writes documents directly to .planning/codebase/. The orchestrator only receives confirmations, keeping context usage minimal.
Output: .planning/codebase/ folder with 7 structured documents about the codebase state.
Parse the first token of {{GSD_ARGS}}:
- If it is
--fast: strip the flag, run the scan workflow (passing remaining args including optional --focus). - If it is
--query: strip the flag, run the intel workflow (passing remaining args as the subcommand). - Otherwise: pass all of {{GSD_ARGS}} as focus area to the map-codebase workflow.
Load project state if exists: Check for .planning/STATE.md - loads context if project already initialized
This command can run:
- Before /gsd-new-project (brownfield codebases) - creates codebase map first
- After /gsd-new-project (greenfield codebases) - updates codebase map as code evolves
- Anytime to refresh codebase understanding
Skip map-codebase for:
- Greenfield projects with no code yet (nothing to map)
- Trivial codebases (<5 files)
