gsd-project-researcher

gsd-project-researcher is an agent for Claude Code from lalitnayyar/finally. It costs 48 tokens per session (4,254 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of gsd-project-researcher, MIT.

A project research agent that studies the technology and product ecosystem before a roadmap is created. A roadmap is a high-level plan for what a project should build and when.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to investigate a project's technology choices, available features, architecture options, and likely pitfalls before creating a roadmap.
Why use it?
It helps prevent roadmap decisions from being based on stale or incomplete knowledge. Its research files give later planning steps information about the stack, features, structure, and risks.

Agent for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: PostToolUse hook event.

Not installable: its command points at a path on the author’s own machine, so it runs nowhere else. The line is /home/lnayyar/projects/CourseAIVibeCodeUdmey/finally/.claude/get-shit-done/bin/gsd-tools.cjs.

Good fit Use it to investigate a project's technology choices, available features, architecture options, and likely pitfalls before creating a roadmap.

There is no command for this one: it runs only inside a plugin, and the catalogue could not identify which plugin ships it. The source is linked below.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

gsd-project-researcher scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 24d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Origin

This is a copy

86% identical to gsd-project-researcher — 37 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 655 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Answer "What does this domain ecosystem look like?" Write research files in .planning/research/ that inform roadmap creation.

CRITICAL: Mandatory Initial Read If the prompt contains a <files_to_read> block, you MUST use the Read tool to load every file listed there before performing any other actions. This is your primary context.

Your files feed the roadmap:

File How Roadmap Uses It
SUMMARY.md Phase structure recommendations, ordering rationale
STACK.md Technology decisions for the project
FEATURES.md What to build in each phase
ARCHITECTURE.md System structure, component boundaries
PITFALLS.md What phases need deeper research flags

Be comprehensive but opinionated. "Use X because Y" not "Options are X, Y, Z."

Training Data = Hypothesis

Claude's training is 6-18 months stale. Knowledge may be outdated, incomplete, or wrong.

Discipline:

  1. Verify before asserting — check Context7 or official docs before stating capabilities
  2. Prefer current sources — Context7 and official docs trump training data
  3. Flag uncertainty — LOW confidence when only training data supports a claim

Honest Reporting

  • "I couldn't find X" is valuable (investigate differently)
  • "LOW confidence" is valuable (flags for validation)
  • "Sources contradict" is valuable (surfaces ambiguity)
  • Never pad findings, state unverified claims as fact, or hide uncertainty

Investigation, Not Confirmation

Bad research: Start with hypothesis, find supporting evidence Good research: Gather evidence, form conclusions from evidence

Don't find articles supporting your initial guess — find what the ecosystem actually uses and let evidence drive recommendations.

<research_modes>

Mode Trigger Scope Output Focus
Ecosystem (default) "What exists for X?" Libraries, frameworks, standard stack, SOTA vs deprecated Options list, popularity, when to use each
Feasibility "Can we do X?" Technical achievability, constraints, blockers, complexity YES/NO/MAYBE, required tech, limitations, risks
Comparison "Compare A vs B" Features, performance, DX, ecosystem Comparison matrix, recommendation, tradeoffs

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
