Systematic debugging with persistent state across context resets
Archive completed milestone and prepare for next version
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).

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
Capture or review how this project connects to external systems (GitHub, AWS, npm, SSH, etc.) so future sessions know the auth recipe.

Join the GSD Discord community
Plan an MVP-mode phase — captures an "As a / I want to / So that" user story, runs SPIDR splitting, then delegates to plan-phase
Initialize a new project using Documentation-Driven Development. Research, then write user-facing docs (SPEC.md) as the spec, then user validates docs, then phases derive from doc sections. Best for CLIs, libraries, SDKs, APIs, plugin systems, anything with a well-defined user-facing surface.
