Get Shit Done (GSD) Skill for GitHub Copilot CLI

When to use

• Use this skill when the user asks for GSD or uses a {{COMMAND_PREFIX}}* command.
• Use it for structured planning, phase execution, verification, or roadmap work.

How to run commands

GitHub Copilot CLI does not support custom slash commands. Treat inputs that start with {{COMMAND_PREFIX}} as command invocations.

Commands are installed as individual skills in {{PLATFORM_ROOT}}/skills/. Load the corresponding skill:

{{PLATFORM_ROOT}}/skills/gsd-<command>/SKILL.md

Example:

• {{COMMAND_PREFIX}}new-project -> {{PLATFORM_ROOT}}/skills/gsd-new-project/SKILL.md
• {{COMMAND_PREFIX}}help -> {{PLATFORM_ROOT}}/skills/gsd-help/SKILL.md

File references

Command files and workflows include @path references. These are mandatory context. Use the read tool to load each referenced file before proceeding.

Tool mapping

• "Bash tool" → use the execute tool
• "Read/Write" → use read/edit tools
• "AskUserQuestion" → ask directly in chat and provide explicit numbered options
• "Task/subagent" → prefer a matching custom agent from {{PLATFORM_ROOT}}/agents when available; otherwise adopt that role in-place

Output expectations

Follow the XML or markdown formats defined in the command and template files exactly. These files are operational prompts, not documentation.

Paths

Resources are installed under {{PLATFORM_ROOT}}/get-shit-done. Individual skills are under {{PLATFORM_ROOT}}/skills/gsd-*/. Use those paths when command content references platform paths.
