Gsd Progress

Provides situational awareness before continuing work.

If 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.

• Read .planning/STATE.md for living memory (position, decisions, issues)
• Read .planning/ROADMAP.md for phase structure and objectives
• Read .planning/PROJECT.md for current state (What This Is, Core Value, Requirements)

• Find the 2-3 most recent SUMMARY.md files
• Extract from each: what was accomplished, key decisions, any issues logged
• This shows "what we've been working on"

• From STATE.md: current phase, plan number, status
• Calculate: total plans, completed plans, remaining plans
• Note any blockers or concerns
• Check for CONTEXT.md: For phases without PLAN.md files, check if {phase}-CONTEXT.md exists in phase directory
• Count pending todos: ls .planning/todos/pending/*.md 2>/dev/null | wc -l
• Check for active debug sessions: ls .planning/debug/*.md 2>/dev/null | grep -v resolved | wc -l

# [Project Name]

**Progress:** [████████░░] 8/10 plans complete

## Recent Work
- [Phase X, Plan Y]: [what was accomplished - 1 line]
- [Phase X, Plan Z]: [what was accomplished - 1 line]

## Current Position
Phase [N] of [total]: [phase-name]
Plan [M] of [phase-total]: [status]
CONTEXT: [✓ if CONTEXT.md exists | - if not]

## Key Decisions Made
- [decision 1 from STATE.md]
- [decision 2]

## Blockers/Concerns
- [any blockers or concerns from STATE.md]

## Pending Todos
- [count] pending — $gsd-check-todos to review

## Active Debug Sessions
- [count] active — $gsd-debug to continue
(Only show this section if count > 0)

## What's Next
[Next phase/plan objective from ROADMAP]

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 | wc -l
ls -1 .planning/phases/[current-phase-dir]/*-SUMMARY.md 2>/dev/null | wc -l
ls -1 .planning/phases/[current-phase-dir]/*-UAT.md 2>/dev/null | 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
grep -l "status: diagnosed" .planning/phases/[current-phase-dir]/*-UAT.md 2>/dev/null

Track:

• uat_with_gaps: UAT.md files with status "diagnosed" (gaps need fixing)

Step 2: Route based on counts

Route A: Unexecuted plan exists

Find the first PLAN.md without matching SUMMARY.md. Read its <objective> section.

---

## ▶ Next Up

**{phase}-{plan}: [Plan Name]** — [objective summary from PLAN.md]

`$gsd-execute-phase {phase}`

<sub>`/clear` first → fresh context window</sub>

---

Route B: Phase needs planning

Check if {phase}-CONTEXT.md exists in phase directory.

If CONTEXT.md exists:

---

## ▶ Next Up

**Phase {N}: {Name}** — {Goal from ROADMAP.md}
<sub>✓ Context gathered, ready to plan</sub>

`$gsd-plan-phase {phase-number}`

<sub>`/clear` first → fresh context window</sub>

---

If CONTEXT.md does NOT exist:

---

## ▶ Next Up

**Phase {N}: {Name}** — {Goal from ROADMAP.md}

`$gsd-discuss-phase {phase}` — gather context and clarify approach

<sub>`/clear` first → fresh context window</sub>

---

**Also available:**
- `$gsd-plan-phase {phase}` — skip discussion, plan directly
- `$gsd-list-phase-assumptions {phase}` — 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}-UAT.md** has {N} gaps requiring fixes.

`$gsd-plan-phase {phase} --gaps`

<sub>`/clear` first → fresh context window</sub>

---

**Also available:**
- `$gsd-execute-phase {phase}` — execute phase plans
- `$gsd-verify-work {phase}` — run more UAT testing

---

Step 3: Check milestone status (only when phase complete)

Read ROADMAP.md and identify:

1. Current phase number
2. 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:

Route C: Phase complete, more phases remain

Read ROADMAP.md to get the next phase's name and goal.

---

## ✓ Phase {Z} Complete

## ▶ Next Up

**Phase {Z+1}: {Name}** — {Goal from ROADMAP.md}

`$gsd-discuss-phase {Z+1}` — gather context and clarify approach

<sub>`/clear` first → fresh context window</sub>

---

**Also available:**
- `$gsd-plan-phase {Z+1}` — skip discussion, plan directly
- `$gsd-verify-work {Z}` — user acceptance test before continuing

---

Route D: Milestone complete

---

## 🎉 Milestone Complete

All {N} phases finished!

## ▶ Next Up

**Complete Milestone** — archive and prepare for next

`$gsd-complete-milestone`

<sub>`/clear` first → fresh context window</sub>

---

**Also available:**
- `$gsd-verify-work` — 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

**Start Next Milestone** — questioning → research → requirements → roadmap

`$gsd-new-milestone`

<sub>`/clear` first → fresh context window</sub>

---

• Phase complete but next phase not planned → offer $gsd-plan-phase [next]
• All work complete → offer milestone completion
• Blockers present → highlight before offering to continue
• Handoff file exists → mention it, offer $gsd-resume-work

• 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
