zgsd-plan-phase

name: zgsd-plan-phase description: Bridge impl task packs to GSD PLAN format for deterministic phase planning. Trigger when user says "plan phase", "bridge task pack", or invokes /zgsd-plan-phase.

zgsd-plan-phase

Trigger

Invoke when user:

• Says "plan phase N from impl task pack"
• Says "bridge task pack to GSD plan"
• Invokes /zgsd-plan-phase

What This Skill Does

Converts impl task packs (containing task-list.json, task-*.md, dag-validation.json) into GSD-executable *-PLAN.md files. Preserves the impl task pack as single source of truth, generates standard GSD PLAN contract that $gsd-execute-phase can consume.

Self-Contained Structure

This skill directory is self-contained. Copy it to any project and it works.

How to Run

Step 1: Parse User Command

Extract from user message:

• <phase> — phase number (e.g., 0)
• <impl-dir> — path to impl task pack directory
• Optional flags: --dry-run, --force, --append, --skip-review, --app-dir <path>, --project-root <path>

Step 1.5: Determine App Directory

The --app-dir parameter (or auto-detected app directory) is critical for path normalization.

Problem: impl task markdown and acceptance criteria may reference bare paths like:

• src/lib/ai/provider.factory.ts instead of apps/ai-coach-skill/src/lib/ai/provider.factory.ts
• tests/unit/env.test.ts instead of apps/ai-coach-skill/tests/unit/env.test.ts
• .eslintrc.js instead of apps/ai-coach-skill/.eslintrc.js

If these paths are written to the PLAN as-is, the agent executing the PLAN will create files at the project root instead of under the actual app directory.

Solution: The bridge script automatically normalizes bare paths by detecting common prefixes (src/, tests/, test/, lib/, app/, pages/, config files) and prepending the app directory. If --app-dir is not specified, it auto-detects from candidates: apps/ai-coach-skill, apps/web, src, ..

Always verify the app directory is correct before running the bridge.

Step 2: Run Bridge Script

Determine the script path relative to project root. The skill may be installed in .claude/skills/zgsd-plan-phase/ or .agents/skills/zgsd-plan-phase/ or any other location.

Execute via Bash tool from project root:

# Find the skill directory and run the script
SKILL_DIR=$(find . -path "*/zgsd-plan-phase/import-task-pack.mjs" -not -path "*/node_modules/*" | head -1 | xargs dirname)
node "$SKILL_DIR/import-task-pack.mjs" --phase <phase> --impl <impl-dir>

Add flags if user requested them (e.g., --dry-run, --app-dir apps/my-app).

Step 2.5: Context Assembly Integration

If the project contains doc/dev/DEV-002-Context-Assembly.md and scripts/docs/assemble-context.mjs, the bridge automatically enables Context Assembly integration:

1. Generate or refresh .planning/phases/<phase-id>/AI-CONTEXT-PACK.md and .json.
2. Insert ## 0. Context Assembly Gate into every generated *-PLAN.md.
3. Record context_assembly metadata in {padded}-TASK-BRIDGE.json.
4. Make bridge validation fail if the phase Context Pack reports blocking missing or conflicts.

The generated gate infers --task from target files (api_change, data_change, business_rule_change, backend_implementation, skill_change) and falls back to phase_execution when no narrower task type is detected.

This is a semi-integrated DEV-002 path: it does not modify GSD executor/core, but it gives every PLAN an explicit context gate before execution.

Step 3: Display Results

Show the user:

• Pre-flight gate status
• Task mapping summary (X tasks mapped, Y requirements covered)
• Wave and dependency summary
• Generated files list
• Validation gate results
• Review gate result (PASS / REJECT)

Step 4: Report Next Steps

• If review PASS: Tell user Next: $gsd-execute-phase <phase>
• If review REJECT: Show failures, do NOT suggest execution

Validation Command

To validate existing bridge output:

SKILL_DIR=$(find . -path "*/zgsd-plan-phase/validate-bridge.mjs" -not -path "*/node_modules/*" | head -1 | xargs dirname)
node "$SKILL_DIR/validate-bridge.mjs" --phase <n> [--project-root <path>]

Prerequisites

Verify before running:

• .planning/ROADMAP.md exists
• AGENTS.md, AI_CONSTITUTION.md, rules/agent-coding-guardrails.md exist
• Impl directory contains task-list.json, dag-validation.json
• dag-validation.json status is PASS
