SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Coordinating multiple project phases across separate terminals and commands fragments attention and makes it hard to see overall milestone status. This Skill centralizes phase management into a single interactive dashboard. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Unified Dashboard: Displays all phases with visual status indicators by reading STATE.md, ROADMAP.md, and phase directories. - Action Recommendations: Suggests optimal next actions based on phase dependencies and current project state. - Parallel Dispatch: Runs discuss inline while plan and execute run as background Task agents, enabling parallel work across phases. - Use Case: While one phase executes in the background, you discuss the next phase's approach inline, then check the refreshed dashboard to confirm progress across the entire milestone. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to open the GSD manager dashboard to view all milestone phases and dispatch the next recommended action.

FAQPage Schema
How do I manage multiple project phases from one terminal?▼

Launch the manager workflow to open a dashboard showing all phases with status indicators. It recommends next actions and lets you dispatch plan or execute work as background agents while discussing other phases inline.

How to run plan and execute phases in parallel?▼

The manager dispatches plan and execute operations as background Task agents, so they run concurrently. You can continue discussing another phase inline while the dashboard refreshes to reflect background progress.

What files are required before using the phase manager?▼

An active milestone with .planning/ROADMAP.md and .planning/STATE.md must exist. Phase directories are read for status, and project context is resolved via gsd-tools.cjs init manager.

Does the manager create or modify project files directly?▼

No, it creates no files directly. It reads STATE.md, ROADMAP.md, and phase directories for status, and dispatches all work to existing GSD commands via Skill() calls and background Task agents.

When should I use the manager instead of individual phase commands?▼

Use it when coordinating several phases of a milestone and wanting parallel execution from one terminal. For focused work on a single phase, invoking the individual discuss, plan, or execute commands directly is simpler.
