gsd-run
Execute work — full phase, quick task, or trivial inline fix
Best use case
gsd-run is best used when you need a repeatable AI agent workflow instead of a one-off prompt.
Execute work — full phase, quick task, or trivial inline fix
Teams using gsd-run should expect a more consistent output, faster repeated execution, less prompt rewriting.
When to use this skill
- You want a reusable workflow that can be run more than once with consistent structure.
When not to use this skill
- You only need a quick one-off answer and do not need a reusable workflow.
- You cannot install or maintain the underlying files, dependencies, or repository context.

## A. Skill Invocation
- Invoked by mentioning `$gsd-SLUG`.
- Treat all user text after `$gsd-SLUG` as `{{GSD_ARGS}}`.
## B. AskUserQuestion → request_user_input Mapping
- `header` → `header`, `question` → `question`
- Execute mode fallback: plain-text numbered list, pick reasonable default
## C. Task() → spawn_agent Mapping
- `Task(subagent_type="X", prompt="Y")` → `spawn_agent(agent_type="X", message="Y")`
- `Task(model="...")` → omit
- Parallel: spawn → collect IDs → `wait(ids)` → `close_agent(id)`

<objective>
Three execution modes:
Default (phase number): Execute all plans with wave-based parallelization.
--quick (or task description): Quick task with GSD guarantees. Add --research or --full for extras.
--fast (trivial): Inline edit, no planning, no subagents.
Routing:
1. --fast → fast workflow
2. --quick or task description → quick workflow
3. --review → review workflow
4. --workspace new|list|remove → workspace workflows
5. --milestone audit|complete → milestone workflows
6. --forensics → forensics workflow
7. Phase number → execute-phase workflow
execute-phase flags: --wave N, --gaps-only, --interactive
quick flags: --research, --full, --discuss
ops flags: --review [phase], --workspace new|list|remove, --milestone audit|complete, --forensics "<issue>"
