What it does

Gsd Manager is an agent skill from SpillwaveSolutions/agent-brain. Interactive command center for managing multiple phases from one terminal

Its SKILL.md is about 870 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Knowledge Management. The repository describes itself as: Local-first RAG memory for AI agents: hybrid + GraphRAG search, MCP server with OAuth 2.1, plugin for Claude Code / OpenCode / Codex. The licence is MIT.

Example prompts

“/gsd-manager”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 8339623. 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.
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 Manager loads about 870 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 21 tokens; SKILL.md has 356 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: ~870

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.

<codex_skill_adapter>

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 (Codex uses per-role config, not inline model selection)
fork_context: false by default — GSD agents load their own context via <files_to_read> blocks

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>

<objective>
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.

Show full SKILL.md (124 more words)Show less

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. </objective>

<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-tools.cjs init manager. No upfront context loading needed. </context>

<process>
Execute the manager workflow from @/Users/richardhightower/clients/spillwave/src/agent-brain/.codex/get-shit-done/workflows/manager.md end-to-end.
Maintain the dashboard refresh loop until the user exits or all phases complete.
