SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Adds a new phase to an existing project roadmap by following a deterministic preparation flow and aligning with the current roadmap structure.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Load current roadmap and requirements to determine the next phase number.
  • Create a new phase block in ROADMAP.md with title, description, plans, dependencies, and effort.
  • Update internal STATE to reflect the new phase as planned and timestamp the modification.
  • Use case: when scope grows or a new feature requires a dedicated phase.

Quick Start

After adding a new phase, run /gsd-plan-phase N to detail its plans.

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I add a new phase to an existing project roadmap?▼

A new roadmap phase is added by reading ROADMAP.md and REQUIREMENTS.md to determine the next phase number, then creating a structured phase block with title, plans, dependencies, and effort, and updating STATE to reflect the newly planned phase.

When do I need to create a new phase in project management?▼

You create a new project phase when a live project's scope grows or a new feature requires a dedicated phase. This structured planning workflow applies a deterministic preparation flow to integrate the new phase into the existing roadmap.

What is the best way to structure dependencies and effort for a new roadmap phase?▼

The best way to structure dependencies and effort for a new roadmap phase is using a deterministic workflow that reads existing requirements and generates a phase block within ROADMAP.md containing the title, description, plans, dependencies, and effort level.

Do I need specific files to plan a new project phase?▼

Yes, you need ROADMAP.md and REQUIREMENTS.md files to plan a new project phase. The workflow reads these files to determine the next phase number and align the new phase with the current roadmap structure before updating the internal STATE.

How do I detail plans after adding a new phase to the roadmap?▼

After adding a new phase to the roadmap, you detail its plans by running the /gsd-plan-phase N command. This step follows the phase creation workflow to expand the newly added phase block with specific planning details.
