What is GSD (Get Shit Done) Project Workflow?
GSD (Get Shit Done) is a sophisticated project management system designed for AI coding agents to handle the entire project lifecycle. It transforms vague ideas into structured reality by employing a multi-agent architecture that covers everything from initial context gathering to final feature verification. As a core part of the Openclaw Skills ecosystem, GSD ensures that developers don't just write code, but build well-researched, architecturally sound, and thoroughly tested software through a disciplined, phased approach.
The skill utilizes an orchestrator-subagent pattern to maintain a lean main context while delegating specialized tasks like domain research, roadmap creation, and parallel execution to focused sub-agents. This ensures high-quality output and prevents the "context drift" often seen in long-running AI development sessions. Whether you are starting a new greenfield project or managing a complex brownfield codebase, GSD provides the framework to maintain momentum and technical integrity.
GSD (Get Shit Done) Project Workflow Use Cases
- Initializing complex new software projects with deep context and automated domain research.
- Generating technical roadmaps and architectural plans based on synthesized requirements.
- Executing large-scale code changes through wave-based parallelization to save time.
- Systematic debugging of persistent issues with stateful context that survives resets.
- Performing conversational User Acceptance Testing (UAT) to validate built features against goals.
- Mapping existing codebases to understand dependencies and architecture before making changes.
How GSD (Get Shit Done) Project Workflow Works
- Deep questioning: The workflow begins with an adaptive conversation to extract hidden requirements and project goals.
- Parallel Research: Four specialized researchers simultaneously investigate the tech stack, features, architecture, and potential pitfalls.
- Requirements Definition: The system synthesizes research into a formal scope and feature selection for the v1 release.
- Roadmap Creation: A phased project structure is derived directly from requirements rather than using a generic template.
- Phase Planning: Each phase receives a detailed execution plan with specific tasks, dependencies, and verification steps.
- Wave Execution: Plans are executed in parallel waves, with the AI performing per-task commits to maintain a clean git history.
- Verification: A goal-backward verification loop checks the actual codebase against the defined requirements to ensure success.
GSD (Get Shit Done) Project Workflow Setup
To use GSD within your environment, ensure the Openclaw Skills framework is active. You can trigger the primary initialization workflow using the following command:
/gsd new-project
For existing projects where you want to check status or resume work, use:
/gsd progress
GSD (Get Shit Done) Project Workflow Data Schema & Taxonomy
GSD maintains project state and artifacts within a structured .planning/ directory to ensure transparency and persistence.
| Artifact | Purpose |
|---|---|
PROJECT.md |
The source of truth for project vision and high-level status. |
REQUIREMENTS.md |
Defined scope, feature lists, and v1 must-haves. |
ROADMAP.md |
The phased execution timeline derived from research. |
SUMMARY.md |
Synthesized findings from the parallel research agents. |
plans/ |
A directory containing individual execution plans and task logs. |
GSD (Get Shit Done) Project Workflow Advanced Features
- Orchestrator + Subagent Pattern: Keeps the main conversation lean while utilizing 100% fresh context for specialized sub-tasks.
- Wave-Based Parallelization: Allows multiple execution plans to run simultaneously for rapid development cycles.
- Iterative Verification Loops: Includes a planner-checker-planner cycle to catch logic errors before code is ever written.
- Persistent Debugging State: Tracks debugging progress across context resets to solve complex, multi-file bugs.
- Brownfield Integration: Specific workflows for mapping and analyzing existing codebases before applying GSD methodologies.
