GSD Autonomous

Run project phases autonomously with discussion, planning, and execution steps.

Installation

  1. Make sure Claude is on your device and in your terminal.

    Skills load from ~/.claude/skills/ when Claude Code starts up — so you need it on your machine first. If you don't have it yet, install it once with the command below, then run claude in any terminal to verify.

    One-time setup
    npm i -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code

    Already have it? Skip ahead.

  2. Paste into Claude Code or into your terminal.

    This copies the whole skill folder into ~/.claude/skills/gsd-autonomous-open-gsd/ — the SKILL.md plus any scripts, reference docs, or templates the skill ships with. Safe default: works for every skill.

    Faster alternative (instruction-only skills)

    Skips the clone and grabs only the SKILL.md file. Don't use this if the skill ships Python scripts, reference markdowns, or asset templates — they won't be downloaded and the skill will fail when it tries to load them.

    Quick install (SKILL.md only)
    Sign up to copy
  3. Restart Claude Code.

    Quit and reopen Claude Code (or any other agent that loads from ~/.claude/skills/). New skills are picked up on startup.

  4. Just ask Claude.

    Skills auto-activate when your request matches the skill's description — no slash command needed. Trigger phrases live in the skill's own frontmatter; you can read them in the “What this skill does” section above.

Prefer to read the source first? Open on GitHub.

When Claude uses it

Run all remaining phases autonomously — discuss→plan→execute per phase

What this skill does

<objective> Execute all remaining milestone phases autonomously. For each phase: discuss → plan → execute. Pauses only for user decisions (grey area acceptance, blockers, validation requests).

Uses ROADMAP.md phase discovery and Skill() flat invocations for each phase command. After all phases complete: milestone audit → complete → cleanup.

Creates/Updates:

  • .planning/STATE.md — updated after each phase
  • .planning/ROADMAP.md — progress updated after each phase
  • Phase artifacts — CONTEXT.md, PLANs, SUMMARYs per phase

After: Milestone is complete and cleaned up. </objective>

<execution_context> @/.claude/gsd-core/workflows/autonomous.md @/.claude/gsd-core/references/ui-brand.md </execution_context>

<context> Optional flags: - `--from N` — start from phase N instead of the first incomplete phase. - `--to N` — stop after phase N completes (halt instead of advancing to next phase). - `--only N` — execute only phase N (single-phase mode). - `--interactive` — run discuss inline with questions (not auto-answered), then dispatch plan→execute as background agents. Keeps the main context lean while preserving user input on decisions. - `--converge` — run each phase's planning step through `gsd-plan-review-convergence` instead of plain `gsd-plan-phase`. Requires `workflow.plan_review_convergence=true`. - `--cross-ai` — compatibility alias for `--converge`.

When --converge or --cross-ai is set, reviewer selector flags supported by gsd-plan-review-convergence may be passed through: --codex, --gemini, --claude, --opencode, --ollama, --lm-studio, --llama-cpp, --all, and --max-cycles N.

Project context, phase list, and state are resolved inside the workflow using init commands (gsd-tools query init.milestone-op, gsd-tools query roadmap.analyze). No upfront context loading needed. </context>

<process> Execute end-to-end. Preserve all workflow gates (phase discovery, per-phase execution, blocker handling, progress display). </process>
