A. Skill Invocation
- This skill is invoked by mentioning
$gsd-from-gsd2.
- Treat all user text after
$gsd-from-gsd2 as {{GSD_ARGS}}.
- If no arguments are present, treat
{{GSD_ARGS}} as empty.
B. AskUserQuestion → request_user_input Mapping
GSD workflows use AskUserQuestion (Claude Code syntax). Translate to Codex request_user_input:
Parameter mapping:
header → header
question → question
- Options formatted as
"Label" — description → {label: "Label", description: "description"}
- Generate
id from header: lowercase, replace spaces with underscores
Batched calls:
AskUserQuestion([q1, q2]) → single request_user_input with multiple entries in questions[]
Multi-select workaround:
- Codex has no
multiSelect. Use sequential single-selects, or present a numbered freeform list asking the user to enter comma-separated numbers.
Execute mode fallback:
- When
request_user_input is rejected (Execute mode), present a plain-text numbered list and pick a reasonable default.
C. Task() → spawn_agent Mapping
GSD workflows use Task(...) (Claude Code syntax). Translate to Codex collaboration tools:
Direct mapping:
Task(subagent_type="X", prompt="Y") → spawn_agent(agent_type="X", message="Y")
Task(model="...") → omit. spawn_agent has no inline model parameter;
GSD embeds the resolved per-agent model directly into each agent's .toml
at install time so model_overrides from .planning/config.json and
~/.gsd/defaults.json are honored automatically by Codex's agent router.
fork_context: false by default — GSD agents load their own context via <files_to_read> blocks
Spawn restriction:
- Codex restricts
spawn_agent to cases where the user has explicitly
requested sub-agents. When automatic spawning is not permitted, do the
work inline in the current agent rather than attempting to force a spawn.
Parallel fan-out:
- Spawn multiple agents → collect agent IDs →
wait(ids) for all to complete
Result parsing:
- Look for structured markers in agent output:
CHECKPOINT, PLAN COMPLETE, SUMMARY, etc.
close_agent(id) after collecting results from each agent

Reverse-migrate a GSD-2 project (`.gsd/` directory) back to GSD v1 (`.planning/`) format.
Maps the GSD-2 hierarchy (Milestone → Slice → Task) to the GSD v1 hierarchy (Milestone sections in ROADMAP.md → Phase → Plan), preserving completion state, research files, and summaries.
CJS-only: from-gsd2 is not on the gsd-sdk query registry; call gsd-tools.cjs as shown below (see docs/CLI-TOOLS.md).
-
Locate the .gsd/ directory — check the current working directory (or --path argument):
node "/Users/andreas/Library/Mobile Documents/com~apple~CloudDocs/Code/gsd-test/.codex/get-shit-done/bin/gsd-tools.cjs" from-gsd2 --dry-run
If no .gsd/ is found, report the error and stop.
-
Show the dry-run preview — present the full file list and migration statistics to the user. Ask for confirmation before writing anything.
-
Run the migration after confirmation:
node "/Users/andreas/Library/Mobile Documents/com~apple~CloudDocs/Code/gsd-test/.codex/get-shit-done/bin/gsd-tools.cjs" from-gsd2
Use --force if .planning/ already exists and the user has confirmed overwrite.
-
Report the result — show the filesWritten count, planningDir path, and the preview summary.
- The migration is non-destructive: `.gsd/` is never modified or removed.
- Pass `--path ` to migrate a project at a different path than the current directory.
- Slices are numbered sequentially across all milestones (M001/S01 → phase 01, M001/S02 → phase 02, M002/S01 → phase 03, etc.).
- Tasks within each slice become plans (T01 → plan 01, T02 → plan 02, etc.).
- Completed slices and tasks carry their done state into ROADMAP.md checkboxes and SUMMARY.md files.
- GSD-2 cost/token ledger, database state, and VS Code extension state cannot be migrated.
