A. Skill Invocation

• This skill is invoked by mentioning $gsd-manager.
• Treat all user text after $gsd-manager 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 </codex_skill_adapter>

Single-terminal command center for managing a milestone. Shows a dashboard of all phases with visual status indicators, recommends optimal next actions, and dispatches work — discuss runs inline, plan/execute run as background agents.

Designed for power users who want to parallelize work across phases from one terminal: discuss a phase while another plans or executes in the background.

Creates/Updates:

• No files created directly — dispatches to existing GSD commands via Skill() and background Task agents.
• Reads .planning/STATE.md, .planning/ROADMAP.md, phase directories for status.

After: User exits when done managing, or all phases complete and milestone lifecycle is suggested.

<execution_context> @/Users/andreas/Library/Mobile Documents/comappleCloudDocs/Code/gsd-test/.codex/get-shit-done/workflows/manager.md @/Users/andreas/Library/Mobile Documents/comappleCloudDocs/Code/gsd-test/.codex/get-shit-done/references/ui-brand.md </execution_context>

No arguments required. Requires an active milestone with ROADMAP.md and STATE.md.

Project context, phase list, dependencies, and recommendations are resolved inside the workflow using gsd-sdk query init.manager. No upfront context loading needed.

Execute the manager workflow from @/Users/andreas/Library/Mobile Documents/com~apple~CloudDocs/Code/gsd-test/.codex/get-shit-done/workflows/manager.md end-to-end. Maintain the dashboard refresh loop until the user exits or all phases complete.
