What this skill does
GSD 2 — Autonomous Spec-Driven Agent Framework Skill by ara.so — Daily 2026 Skills collection GSD 2 is a standalone CLI that turns a structured spec into running software autonomously. It controls the agent harness directly — managing fresh context windows per task, git worktree isolation, crash recovery, cost tracking, and stuck detection — rather than relying on LLM self-loops. One command, walk away, come back to a built project with clean git history. --- Installation Requires Node.js 18+. Works with Claude (Anthropic) as the underlying model via the Pi SDK. --- Core Concepts Work Hierarchy Iron rule: A task must fit in one context window. If it can't, split it into two tasks. Directory Layout --- Commands /gsd auto — Primary Autonomous Mode Run the full automation loop. Reads .gsd/STATE.md, dispatches each unit in a fresh session, handles recovery, and advances through the entire milestone without intervention. /gsd init — Initialize a Project Scaffold the .gsd/ directory from a ROADMAP.md and optional PROJECT.md. Creates initial STATE.md, registers milestones and slices from your roadmap, sets up the cost ledger. /gsd status — Dashboard Shows current position, per-slice costs, token usage, and what's queued next. Output example: /gsd run — Single Unit Dispatch Execute one specific unit manually instead of running the full loop. /gsd migrate — Migrate from v1 Import old .planning/ directories from the original Get Shit Done. /gsd costs — Cost Report Detailed cost breakdown with projections. --- Project Setup 1. Write ROADMAP.md 2. Write PROJECT.md 3. Initialize 4. …
