gsd-workstreams

Managing parallel workstreams involves listing, creating, and switching named workstreams via command-line tooling to track status and coordinate milestone tasks. It parses JSON output into readable tables and sets the active workstream in the session environment for quick focus switching.

Tracking project management status across workstreams is done by running a list command that displays all active workstreams with their current phase and progress. This provides quick visibility into concurrent milestones without losing context.

Creating and switching named workstreams uses CLI commands that set the GSD_WORKSTREAM environment variable for the active session. This ensures the correct workstream context is maintained when moving focus between different concurrent tasks.

Archiving completed workstreams is handled automatically by moving them to a milestones directory upon completion. This keeps the active workstream list clean while preserving the history and context of finished project tasks.

You need command-line tools that invoke gsd-tools node commands to coordinate workstream tasks effectively. The Skill executes these invocations, parses the JSON output into human-readable tables, and suggests next routing steps for product managers and engineering leads.

Parsing JSON output into tables is required because CLI tools return raw structured data that is difficult to read quickly. Converting this output into human-readable tables provides immediate visibility into workstream status, phase, and progress for team coordination.
