What it does

Gsd is an agent skill from allgpt-co/QuickVoice. Get Shit Done (GSD) - A comprehensive project management system for solo developers using Claude agents

Its SKILL.md is about 2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files.

It sits in Product & Project Management, covering Project management. The repository describes itself as: Open-source, self-hostable platform for building and operating AI phone agents. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Project management

Example prompts

  • “/gsd”

Workflow steps

7 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Deep questioning - Extract user vision and requirements
  2. Domain research - Discover standard stacks and patterns
  3. Roadmap creation - Break requirements into phases
  4. Phase planning - Create executable plans with verification
  5. Execution - Implement plans with atomic commits
  6. Verification - Ensure goals are achieved, not just tasks done
  7. Debugging - Systematic investigation of issues

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 89fa8ff. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are bash).

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Gsd loads about 2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 27 tokens; SKILL.md has 694 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~27
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Get Shit Done (GSD) - Project Management System

A comprehensive project management system designed for solo developers working with Claude AI agents. GSD provides structured workflows for project initialization, planning, execution, verification, and debugging.

Overview

GSD is a modular agent-based system that transforms project ideas into shipped software through:

  1. Deep questioning - Extract user vision and requirements
  2. Domain research - Discover standard stacks and patterns
  3. Roadmap creation - Break requirements into phases
  4. Phase planning - Create executable plans with verification
  5. Execution - Implement plans with atomic commits
  6. Verification - Ensure goals are achieved, not just tasks done
  7. Debugging - Systematic investigation of issues

Core Philosophy

  • Solo Developer + Claude Workflow - No teams, no stakeholders, no ceremonies
  • Plans are Prompts - PLAN.md files ARE the execution prompts, not documents
  • Goal-Backward Planning - Start from what must be TRUE, derive what to build
  • Atomic Commits - Each task commits independently for clean history
  • Quality Over Speed - Stop before context degrades (~50% usage)
  • Ship Fast - Plan → Execute → Ship → Learn → Repeat

When to Use GSD

Use GSD when you need to:

  • Initialize a new software project
  • Plan and execute development phases
  • Map an existing codebase
  • Debug issues systematically
  • Verify phase completion
  • Track project progress and state

Quick Start Commands

Key Concepts

Goal-Backward Planning

Instead of asking "what should we build?", ask "what must be TRUE for the goal to be achieved?"

Forward: "Build authentication system" → task list Goal-Backward: "Users can securely access accounts" → derive what must exist

Atomic Commits

Each task commits independently with descriptive messages:

bash
feat(01-01): implement user login
fix(01-02): fix password validation
test(01-03): add login tests
Context Budgeting

Plans complete within ~50% context usage to maintain quality:

  • 0-30%: PEAK quality
  • 30-50%: GOOD quality
  • 50-70%: DEGRADING quality
  • 70%+: POOR quality (avoid)
Wave-Based Execution

Plans are grouped into waves for parallel execution:

  • Wave 1: Independent plans (no dependencies)
  • Wave 2: Plans depending only on Wave 1
  • Wave 3: Plans depending on Wave 2, etc.

Anti-Patterns to Avoid

  • Enterprise PM Theater - No RACI matrices, sprint ceremonies, stakeholder management
  • Horizontal Layers - Don't group by "all models, then all APIs" - group by features
  • Vague Success Criteria - "Authentication works" → "User can log in with email/password"
  • Time Estimates - Never estimate in hours/days/weeks
  • Task Completion ≠ Goal Achievement - Verify outcomes, not just task completion

Getting Help

Each agent, command, and workflow has its own SKILL.md with detailed instructions. Use:

  • @skills/gsd/agents/ for agent-specific help
  • @skills/gsd/commands/ for command-specific help
  • @skills/gsd/workflows/ for workflow-specific help
  • @skills/gsd/references/ for reference documentation

Questions about Gsd

What does Gsd do?

Get Shit Done (GSD) - A comprehensive project management system for solo developers using Claude agents. Gsd is an agent skill from allgpt-co/QuickVoice.

When should I use Gsd?

Gsd fits situations like: tasks that involve Project management.

How do I install Gsd in Claude Code?

Run `npx skills add allgpt-co/QuickVoice --skill gsd -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (.claude/skills/gsd in allgpt-co/QuickVoice) into .claude/skills/gsd in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.

How do I install Gsd in Codex?

Run `npx skills add allgpt-co/QuickVoice --skill gsd -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (.claude/skills/gsd in allgpt-co/QuickVoice) into .agents/skills/gsd in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.

Can I use Gsd in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?

Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add allgpt-co/QuickVoice --skill gsd -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/gsd, .gemini/skills/gsd, .github/skills/gsd and .opencode/skills/gsd in your project.

What does Gsd need to run?

SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Gsd is instructions for the agent only.

Does Gsd access the network?

SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.

Is Gsd safe to install?

Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.

What licence does Gsd use?

Gsd is published under the MIT licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.

How many tokens does Gsd use?

About 2k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 7.8k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.

What are the alternatives to Gsd?

Skills that share tags, products or a category with Gsd: CCPM Project Management (automazeio/ccpm, 8.4k stars), Uv (astral-sh/claude-code-plugins, 313 stars), Project Management (kunchenguid/firstmate, 7.8k stars) and Hivemind Goals (activeloopai/hivemind, 1.6k stars).
