gsd-discuss-phase

gsd-discuss-phase is a command for Claude Code from mrmyothet/zach-hair-studio. It costs 15 tokens per session (1,158 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A discussion workflow for clarifying one phase of a software project before that phase is planned. It reviews earlier project context, examines the codebase, asks about unresolved choices, and records the answers.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to investigate a project phase, choose which unclear areas need discussion, and create a context document that guides the implementation plan.
Why use it?
It prevents later planning work from depending on decisions that were never made. It also avoids reopening choices that earlier phases already settled.

Written for Claude Code: allowed-tools in frontmatter. Also seen: names the AskUserQuestion tool.

Not installable: its command points at a path on the author’s own machine, so it runs nowhere else. The line is /home/myothet/repos/vct/zach-hair-studio/landing-page/.claude/gsd-core/bin/${_GSD_SHIM_NAME}.

Good fit Use it to investigate a project phase, choose which unclear areas need discussion, and create a context document that guides the implementation plan.

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-discuss-phase 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 12d 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.

What it actually says

How it works:

  1. Load prior context (PROJECT.md, REQUIREMENTS.md, STATE.md, prior CONTEXT.md files)
  2. Scout codebase for reusable assets and patterns
  3. Analyze phase — skip gray areas already decided in prior phases
  4. Present remaining gray areas — user selects which to discuss
  5. Deep-dive each selected area until satisfied
  6. Create CONTEXT.md with decisions that guide research and planning

Output: {phase_num}-CONTEXT.md — decisions clear enough that downstream agents can act without asking the user again

<execution_context> Workflow files are loaded on-demand in the section below — not upfront. Do not pre-load any workflow files before reading the mode routing instructions. </execution_context>

<runtime_note> Copilot (VS Code): Use vscode_askquestions wherever this workflow calls AskUserQuestion. They are equivalent — vscode_askquestions is the VS Code Copilot implementation of the same interactive question API. </runtime_note>

Context files are resolved in-workflow using init phase-op and roadmap/state tool calls.

If --assumptions is in $ARGUMENTS: Read and execute /home/myothet/repos/vct/zach-hair-studio/landing-page/.claude/gsd-core/workflows/list-phase-assumptions.md end-to-end. Stop here.

Otherwise, if DISCUSS_MODE is "assumptions": Read and execute /home/myothet/repos/vct/zach-hair-studio/landing-page/.claude/gsd-core/workflows/discuss-phase-assumptions.md end-to-end.

Otherwise ("discuss" / unset / any other value): Read and execute /home/myothet/repos/vct/zach-hair-studio/landing-page/.claude/gsd-core/workflows/discuss-phase.md end-to-end.

MANDATORY: Read the appropriate workflow file BEFORE taking any action. The objective and success_criteria sections in this command file are summaries — the workflow file contains the complete step-by-step process with all required behaviors, config checks, and interaction patterns. Do not improvise from the summary.

Lazy loading: templates/context.md is loaded inside the write_context step of the active workflow. discuss-phase-power.md is loaded inside discuss-phase.md when --power is detected. Do not load either here.

<success_criteria>

  • Prior context loaded and applied (no re-asking decided questions)
  • Gray areas identified through intelligent analysis
  • User chose which areas to discuss
  • Each selected area explored until satisfied
  • Scope creep redirected to deferred ideas
  • CONTEXT.md captures decisions, not vague vision
  • User knows next steps </success_criteria>

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.
