Get Shit Done (GSD) Skill for GitHub Copilot CLI

When to use

• Use this skill when the user asks for GSD or uses a

  /gsd-*

  command.
• Use it for structured planning, phase execution, verification, or roadmap work.

How to run commands

GitHub Copilot CLI does not support custom slash commands. Treat inputs that start with

/gsd-

as command invocations.

Commands are installed as individual skills in

.github/skills/

. Load the corresponding skill:

.github/skills/gsd-<command>/SKILL.md

Example:

• /gsd-new-project

  ->

  .github/skills/gsd-new-project/SKILL.md

• /gsd-help

  ->

  .github/skills/gsd-help/SKILL.md

File references

Command files and workflows include

@path

references. These are mandatory context. Use the read tool to load each referenced file before proceeding.

Tool mapping

• "Bash tool" → use the execute tool
• "Read/Write" → use read/edit tools
• "AskUserQuestion" → ask directly in chat and provide explicit numbered options
• "Task/subagent" → prefer a matching custom agent from

  .github/agents

  when available; otherwise adopt that role in-place

Output expectations

Follow the XML or markdown formats defined in the command and template files exactly. These files are operational prompts, not documentation.

Paths

Resources are installed under

.github/get-shit-done

. Individual skills are under

.github/skills/gsd-*/

. Use those paths when command content references platform paths.
