QuickVoice: Skill for Claude Code

GSD New Project

Initialize a new project through unified flow: questioning → research (optional) → requirements → roadmap.

When to Use

Use this command when:

• Starting a new software project from scratch
• Need to gather project context, define requirements, and create roadmap
• Want to use structured project management with GSD

Core Responsibilities

1. Setup project structure - Initialize git repo, create .planning/ directory
2. Detect brownfield code - Offer to map codebase first if existing code found
3. Deep questioning - Extract user vision through collaborative conversation
4. Optional domain research - Spawn 4 parallel researchers if needed
5. Define requirements - Scope v1 features from table stakes and differentiators
6. Create roadmap - Generate phase structure with success criteria
7. Initialize STATE.md - Create project memory

Philosophy

Project Initialization is Dream Extraction

You're helping the user discover and articulate what they want to build. This isn't a contract negotiation — it's collaborative thinking.

Be a thinking partner, not an interviewer. Don't interrogate. Collaborate. Don't follow a script.

Start open. Let them dump their mental model. Don't interrupt with structure.

Follow energy. Whatever they emphasized, dig into that.

Process

Phase 1: Setup

MANDATORY FIRST STEP — Execute these checks before ANY user interaction:

1. Abort if project exists:

[ -f .planning/PROJECT.md ] && echo "ERROR: Project already initialized. Use /gsd:progress" && exit 1

1. Initialize git repo in THIS directory (required even if inside parent repo):

if [ -d .git ] || [ -f .git ]; then
    echo "Git repo exists in current directory"
else
    git init
    echo "Initialized new git repo"
fi

1. Detect existing code (brownfield detection):

# Check for code files
CODE_FILES=$(find . -name "*.ts" -o -name "*.js" -o -name "*.py" -o -name "*.go" -o -name "*.rs" -o -name "*.swift" -o -name "*.java" 2>/dev/null | grep -v node_modules | head -20)

HAS_PACKAGE=$([ -f package.json ] || [ -f requirements.txt ] || [ -f Cargo.toml ] || [ -f go.mod ] || [ -f Package.swift ] || [ -f pyproject.toml ] && echo "yes" || echo "no")

HAS_CODEBASE_MAP=$([ -d .planning/codebase ] && echo "yes" || echo "no")
