gsd-manager

Single-terminal command center for managing a milestone. Shows a dashboard of all phases with visual status indicators, recommends optimal next actions, and dispatches work — discuss runs inline, plan/execute run as background agents.

Designed for power users who want to parallelize work across phases from one terminal: discuss a phase while another plans or executes in the background.

Creates/Updates:

• No files created directly — dispatches to existing GSD commands via Skill() and background Task agents.
• Reads .planning/STATE.md, .planning/ROADMAP.md, phase directories for status.

After: User exits when done managing, or all phases complete and milestone lifecycle is suggested.

<execution_context> @/.claude/gsd-core/workflows/manager.md @/.claude/gsd-core/references/ui-brand.md </execution_context>

No arguments required. Requires an active milestone with ROADMAP.md and STATE.md.

Project context, phase list, dependencies, and recommendations are resolved inside the workflow using gsd-tools query init.manager. No upfront context loading needed.

If `--analyze-deps` is in $ARGUMENTS: Read and execute `~/.claude/gsd-core/workflows/analyze-dependencies.md` end-to-end.

Execute end-to-end. Maintain the dashboard refresh loop until the user exits or all phases complete.
