SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Sustained multi-project workflows require manual tracking of phase progress; gsd-next automates advancing to the next logical workflow step by reading project state to reduce cognitive load and ensure consistency across projects.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Reads STATE.md, ROADMAP.md, and phase directories to determine the next logical step in a GSD workflow.
  • Supports a --force flag to bypass safety gates (checkpoint, error state, verification failures) for rapid iteration.
  • Works across multiple projects to coordinate sequential steps and accelerate delivery.

Quick Start

Instruct the AI to run gsd-next to advance to the next step in the current project workflow.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate advancing to the next step in a multi-project workflow?

To automate advancing to the next step in a multi-project workflow, use a tool that reads project state files like STATE.md and ROADMAP.md. This approach determines the next logical phase and executes it end-to-end to reduce manual tracking.

What is phase detection in project management and how does it work?

Phase detection in project management works by scanning project state files and phase directories to determine the current progress. It identifies the next logical step in the workflow by reading ROADMAP.md and STATE.md to maintain consistency across multiple projects.

Can I bypass safety gates like checkpoints and verification failures during state management?

Yes, you can bypass safety gates like checkpoints, error states, and verification failures during state management by using a force flag. This allows you to override safety checks for rapid iteration when advancing workflow steps.

How do I coordinate sequential workflow steps across multiple projects?

To coordinate sequential workflow steps across multiple projects, implement an automated state management system that reads phase directories. This ensures consistent progression and accelerates delivery by executing the next workflow step end-to-end.

Do I need specific file formats to automate progression in a GSD workflow?

Yes, to automate progression in a GSD workflow, your environment needs STATE.md, ROADMAP.md, and phase directories. The automation tool reads these specific files to determine the next logical step and execute it.

Why does manual phase progress tracking fail in multi-project environments?

Manual phase progress tracking fails in multi-project environments due to high cognitive load and inconsistency. Automating the process by reading project state reduces these errors and ensures consistent workflow advancement.
