What problem does it solve?

Streamlines the initiation of a new project by automating the collection of context, structuring, and planning process.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Project Initialization: Starts a project by guiding the user through deep context gathering and document creation.
  • Automatic Workflow: Supports an auto-mode to proceed with research, requirements, and roadmap creation after configuration.
  • Documentation Generation: Generates comprehensive project documents like PROJECT.md, REQUIREMENTS.md, and ROADMAP.md.
  • Phase-Based Execution: Enables step-by-step execution with the /gsd-plan-phase command for execution control.

Quick Start

To start a new project, initialize with gsd-new-project and provide an optional --auto flag for automated setup.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate project initiation and context gathering for a new roadmap?

You can automate project initiation by using guided interactive questioning to gather context, define requirements, and create a structured roadmap. An auto-mode flag enables fully automated research and document generation after initial configuration.

What is the best way to generate project documentation like requirements and roadmaps?

Generating project documentation is best handled by automating the collection of context to produce comprehensive files. This process creates structured documents including PROJECT.md, REQUIREMENTS.md, and ROADMAP.md to establish a clear project baseline.

Can I execute project planning in phases instead of generating everything at once?

Yes, you can execute project planning in phases using step-by-step execution commands. This phase-based execution allows you to control the workflow and proceed through context gathering, requirements definition, and roadmap creation sequentially.

Do I need manual input for workflow automation during project setup?

Manual input is required for providing initial context and configuration during project setup. However, once configured, workflow automation can proceed automatically through research, requirements, and roadmap creation without further intervention.

What documents are generated during automated project initialization?

Automated project initialization generates comprehensive project documents including PROJECT.md, REQUIREMENTS.md, and ROADMAP.md. These files capture the gathered context, defined requirements, and the structured roadmap for the new project.

How does guided context creation improve project management workflows?

Guided context creation improves project management workflows by streamlining the initiation process through deep interactive questioning. This ensures all necessary project context is gathered and structured before automatically generating foundational planning documents.
