Gsd Mvp Phase

What it does

When your agent uses it

• Tasks that involve User stories

Example prompts

• “/gsd-mvp-phase”

Requirements

• Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Write, Bash, Glob, Grep, Agent, AskUserQuestion

Workflow steps

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

1. 1Prompts for an "As a / I want to / So that" user story (three structured questions)
2. 2Runs SPIDR splitting check — if the story is too large, walks through Spike/Paths/Interfaces/Data/Rules and offers to split into multiple…
3. 3Writes Mode: mvp and the reformatted Goal: to the phase's ROADMAP.md section
4. 4Delegates to /gsd-plan-phase which auto-detects MVP mode via the roadmap field

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 5d987cc. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

• Tool permissions

  Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

  • Read
  • Write
  • Bash
  • Glob
  • Grep
  • Agent
  • AskUserQuestion

  From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

• Runs code

  No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

  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 Mvp Phase loads about 505 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 24 tokens; SKILL.md has 212 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it

~24

When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches

~505

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.

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.

argument-hint

<phase-number>

<objective>
Guide the user through MVP-mode planning for a phase. The command:

<context>
Phase number: the `<arguments>` block (required — integer or decimal like `2.1`)

<process>
Execute the mvp-phase workflow from @~/.claude/gsd-core/workflows/mvp-phase.md end-to-end.
Preserve all gates: phase existence, status guard (refuse in_progress/completed), user-story format validation, SPIDR splitting check, ROADMAP write confirmation, plan-phase delegation.
