At a glance

Smart entry — detect project state and route to the right next GSD action.

  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Gsd Next is an agent skill from open-gsd/gsd-core. Smart entry — detect project state and route to the right next GSD action.

Its SKILL.md is about 290 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

The repository describes itself as: Git. Ship. Done - Core. The licence is MIT.

Example prompts

  • “/gsd-next”

Requirements

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

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
    • Bash
    • Glob
    • Grep
    • SlashCommand
    • 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 Next loads about 290 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 21 tokens; SKILL.md has 118 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~21
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~290

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.

Auto-check: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

  • NotePre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: Bash)SKILL.md
    allowed-tools: Read, Bash, Glob, Grep, SlashCommand, AskUserQuestion

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.

<objective>
GSD smart entry — the state-aware front door. Detect what's going on in this project, then present a short menu of the right next actions and dispatch to one.

This is a launcher/router only. It never does the work itself. It reads project + workflow state via gsd-tools smart-entry --json, shows a situation-appropriate menu, and hands off to an existing GSD command. </objective>

Follow ~/.claude/gsd-core/workflows/smart-entry.md. Detect the situation, present the menu, and dispatch exactly one command. Then stop.
