# GSD Command Reference

11 commands. Compact surface, full workflow.

## Core Loop

| Command | Purpose |
|---------|---------|
| `$gsd-start` | Initialize project or new milestone |
| `$gsd-plan [phase]` | Plan a phase (research → plan → verify) |
| `$gsd-run [phase]` | Execute work (phase, quick task, or trivial fix) |
| `$gsd-verify [phase]` | Validate built features via UAT |
| `$gsd-ship [phase]` | Push branch, create PR, prepare for merge |

## Support

| Command | Purpose |
|---------|---------|
| `$gsd-debug [issue]` | Systematic debugging with subagent isolation |
| `$gsd-session` | Resume, pause, check progress, or get next step |
| `$gsd-capture <text>` | Capture note, todo, or backlog item |
| `$gsd-settings` | Configure model profile and workflow toggles |
| `$gsd-update` | Refresh runtime bundle and changelog |
| `$gsd-help` | Show this reference |

---

## Typical Flow

```
$gsd-start                    # new project → PROJECT.md + ROADMAP.md
$gsd-plan 1                   # plan phase 1 → PLAN.md
$gsd-run 1                    # execute phase 1
$gsd-verify 1                 # UAT validation
$gsd-ship 1                   # create PR
$gsd-session next             # advance to phase 2
```

## Cost Profiles

| Profile | Use When | Cost Impact |
|---------|----------|-------------|
| `quality` | Critical architecture | Highest |
| `balanced` | Normal development (default) | Medium |
| `budget` | Solo dev, MVPs, high-volume | ~50% lower |
| `inherit` | OpenRouter, Ollama, local models | Zero Anthropic cost |

Set profile: `$gsd-settings --profile budget`
