GSD Documentation
Welcome to the GSD documentation. This covers everything from getting started to advanced configuration, auto-mode internals, and extending GSD with the Pi SDK.
User Documentation
| Guide | Description |
|---|---|
| Getting Started | Installation, first run, and basic usage |

| Commands Reference | All commands, keyboard shortcuts, and CLI flags |
| Remote Questions | Discord and Slack integration for headless auto-mode |
| Configuration | Preferences, model selection, git settings, and token profiles |
| Provider Setup | Step-by-step setup for OpenRouter, Ollama, LM Studio, vLLM, and all supported providers |
| Custom Models | Advanced model configuration — models.json schema, compat flags, overrides |
| Token Optimization | Token profiles, context compression, complexity routing, and adaptive learning (v2.17) |
| Dynamic Model Routing | Complexity-based model selection, cost tables, escalation, and budget pressure (v2.19) |
| Captures & Triage | Fire-and-forget thought capture during auto-mode with automated triage (v2.19) |

| Cost Management | Budget ceilings, cost tracking, projections, and enforcement modes |
| Git Strategy | Worktree isolation, branching model, and merge behavior |
| Parallel Orchestration | Run multiple milestones simultaneously with worker isolation and coordination |
| Working in Teams | Unique milestone IDs, .gitignore setup, and shared planning artifacts |
| Skills | Bundled skills, skill discovery, and custom skill authoring |
| Migration from v1 | Migrating .planning directories from the original GSD |
| Troubleshooting | Common issues, /gsd doctor (real-time visibility v2.40), /gsd forensics (full debugger v2.40), and recovery procedures |

Pi SDK Documentation
These guides cover the underlying Pi SDK that GSD is built on. Useful if you want to extend GSD or build your own agent application.
| Guide | Description |
|---|---|
| What is Pi | Core concepts — modes, agent loop, sessions, tools, providers |
| Extending Pi | Building extensions — tools, commands, UI, events, state |
| Context & Hooks | Context pipeline, hook reference, inter-extension communication |
| Pi UI / TUI | Terminal UI components, theming, keyboard input, rendering |
Research
| Guide | Description |
|---|---|
| Building Coding Agents | Research notes on agent design — decomposition, context engineering, cost/quality tradeoffs |
