What is GSD (Get Shit Done): Project Planning & Execution?
GSD (Get Shit Done) is a sophisticated project management and execution framework designed for AI coding agents. It transforms vague ideas into structured reality by employing a multi-agent orchestrator pattern. Unlike simple prompt-based execution, GSD utilizes Openclaw Skills to perform deep questioning, parallel domain research, and rigorous requirement scoping. It ensures that every line of code written aligns with a verified roadmap and clear success criteria, providing a professional-grade development lifecycle within your AI environment.
By leveraging the power of Openclaw Skills, GSD manages the entire lifecycle of a feature or project. It doesn't just write code; it plans, researches, verifies, and executes with a focus on quality and consistency. The system is designed to handle both greenfield projects and existing brownfield codebases, making it an essential tool for developers who want to maintain high standards while moving fast.
GSD (Get Shit Done): Project Planning & Execution Use Cases
- Initializing complex new software projects from scratch with automated domain research.
- Managing large-scale migrations or feature additions in existing brownfield codebases through codebase mapping.
- Systematic debugging of persistent issues with state-tracking that survives context resets.
- Orchestrating parallel development waves to maximize agent efficiency and throughput.
- Automating the creation of comprehensive roadmaps and requirement documents for stakeholders.
How GSD (Get Shit Done): Project Planning & Execution Works
- The user initiates a project via the new-project command, triggering an interactive deep questioning phase to gather context.
- Four parallel researchers analyze the technical stack, features, architecture, and potential pitfalls using specialized Openclaw Skills.
- A roadmap is dynamically generated, breaking the project into manageable phases based on discovered requirements and technical constraints.
- Phase planning creates detailed execution plans which are then verified by a separate plan-checker agent to ensure logic and safety.
- The executor runs tasks in parallel waves, performing individual commits for each completed unit of work to maintain a clean git history.
- Final verification checks the implementation against the original must-have requirements to ensure complete goal alignment.
GSD (Get Shit Done): Project Planning & Execution Setup
To get started with this skill, ensure your environment is configured to support Openclaw Skills. You can initialize the system by running the following commands in your terminal:
/gsd settings
/gsd new-project
Configure your preferred model profiles and follow the interactive prompts to define your project scope. GSD will automatically create the necessary directory structure and templates to begin your workflow.
GSD (Get Shit Done): Project Planning & Execution Data Schema & Taxonomy
GSD maintains a structured .planning/ directory to manage project state, research artifacts, and execution logs. This ensures that Openclaw Skills have access to persistent data across sessions.
| Directory | Purpose |
|---|---|
workflows/ |
Contains the logic for specific operations like planning, debugging, and execution. |
agents/ |
Specialized sub-agent definitions for research, synthesis, and execution tasks. |
templates/ |
Standardized Markdown templates for requirements, roadmaps, and research summaries. |
references/ |
Contextual guides for questioning techniques and UI/UX brand principles. |
PROJECT.md |
The central source of truth for project status, scope, and high-level goals. |
GSD (Get Shit Done): Project Planning & Execution Advanced Features
- Wave-based parallel execution for rapid task completion across multiple files simultaneously.
- Automated gap closure mode to automatically address specific issues identified during verification loops.
- Persistent debugging state that maintains investigation history across context resets and agent restarts.
- Seamless pause and resume functionality with full context handoff for long-running projects.
- Intelligent progress routing that analyzes the current state to suggest the next logical command in the workflow.
- Conversational User Acceptance Testing (UAT) to validate features through natural language interaction.
