Claude-skill-registry gsd-insert-phase

<objective> Insert a decimal phase for urgent work discovered mid-milestone that must be completed between existing integer phases.

Uses decimal numbering (72.1, 72.2, etc.) to preserve the logical sequence of planned phases while accommodating urgent insertions.

Purpose: Handle urgent work discovered during execution without renumbering entire roadmap. </objective>

<execution_context> @.planning/ROADMAP.md @.planning/STATE.md </execution_context>

<process> <step name="parse_arguments"> Parse the command arguments: - First argument: integer phase number to insert after - Remaining arguments: phase description

Example:

$gsd-insert-phase 72 Fix critical auth bug

→ after = 72 → description = "Fix critical auth bug"

Validation:

if [ $# -lt 2 ]; then
  echo "ERROR: Both phase number and description required"
  echo "Usage: $gsd-insert-phase <after> <description>"
  echo "Example: $gsd-insert-phase 72 Fix critical auth bug"
  exit 1
fi

Parse first argument as integer:

after_phase=$1
shift
description="$*"

# Validate after_phase is an integer
if ! [[ "$after_phase" =~ ^[0-9]+$ ]]; then
  echo "ERROR: Phase number must be an integer"
  exit 1
fi

</step> <step name="load_roadmap"> Load the roadmap file:

if [ -f .planning/ROADMAP.md ]; then
  ROADMAP=".planning/ROADMAP.md"
else
  echo "ERROR: No roadmap found (.planning/ROADMAP.md)"
  exit 1
fi

Read roadmap content for parsing. </step>

<step name="verify_target_phase"> Verify that the target phase exists in the roadmap:

1. Search for "### Phase {after_phase}:" heading

2. If not found:

   ERROR: Phase {after_phase} not found in roadmap
   Available phases: [list phase numbers]
   

   Exit.

3. Verify phase is in current milestone (not completed/archived) </step>

<step name="find_existing_decimals"> Find existing decimal phases after the target phase:

1. Search for all "### Phase {after_phase}.N:" headings
2. Extract decimal suffixes (e.g., for Phase 72: find 72.1, 72.2, 72.3)
3. Find the highest decimal suffix
4. Calculate next decimal: max + 1

Examples:

• Phase 72 with no decimals → next is 72.1
• Phase 72 with 72.1 → next is 72.2
• Phase 72 with 72.1, 72.2 → next is 72.3

Store as:

decimal_phase="$(printf "%02d" $after_phase).${next_decimal}"

</step>

<step name="generate_slug"> Convert the phase description to a kebab-case slug:

slug=$(echo "$description" | tr '[:upper:]' '[:lower:]' | sed 's/[^a-z0-9]/-/g' | sed 's/--*/-/g' | sed 's/^-//;s/-$//')

Phase directory name:

{decimal-phase}-{slug}

Example:

06.1-fix-critical-auth-bug

(phase 6 insertion) </step>

<step name="create_phase_directory"> Create the phase directory structure:

phase_dir=".planning/phases/${decimal_phase}-${slug}"
mkdir -p "$phase_dir"

Confirm: "Created directory: $phase_dir" </step>

<step name="update_roadmap"> Insert the new phase entry into the roadmap:

1. Find insertion point: immediately after Phase {after_phase}'s content (before next phase heading or "---")

2. Insert new phase heading with (INSERTED) marker:

   ### Phase {decimal_phase}: {Description} (INSERTED)
   
   **Goal:** [Urgent work - to be planned]
   **Depends on:** Phase {after_phase}
   **Plans:** 0 plans
   
   Plans:
   - [ ] TBD (run $gsd-plan-phase {decimal_phase} to break down)
   
   **Details:**
   [To be added during planning]
   

3. Write updated roadmap back to file

The "(INSERTED)" marker helps identify decimal phases as urgent insertions.

Preserve all other content exactly (formatting, spacing, other phases). </step>

<step name="update_project_state"> Update STATE.md to reflect the inserted phase:

1. Read

   .planning/STATE.md

2. Under "## Accumulated Context" → "### Roadmap Evolution" add entry:

   - Phase {decimal_phase} inserted after Phase {after_phase}: {description} (URGENT)
   

If "Roadmap Evolution" section doesn't exist, create it.

Add note about insertion reason if appropriate. </step>

<step name="completion"> Present completion summary:

Phase {decimal_phase} inserted after Phase {after_phase}:
- Description: {description}
- Directory: .planning/phases/{decimal-phase}-{slug}/
- Status: Not planned yet
- Marker: (INSERTED) - indicates urgent work

Roadmap updated: {roadmap-path}
Project state updated: .planning/STATE.md

- Review insertion impact: Check if Phase {next_integer} dependencies still make sense
- Review roadmap

<anti_patterns>

• Don't use this for planned work at end of milestone (use $gsd-add-phase)
• Don't insert before Phase 1 (decimal 0.1 makes no sense)
• Don't renumber existing phases
• Don't modify the target phase content
• Don't create plans yet (that's $gsd-plan-phase)
• Don't commit changes (user decides when to commit) </anti_patterns>

<success_criteria> Phase insertion is complete when:

• Phase directory created:

  .planning/phases/{N.M}-{slug}/

• Roadmap updated with new phase entry (includes "(INSERTED)" marker)
• Phase inserted in correct position (after target phase, before next integer phase)
• STATE.md updated with roadmap evolution note
• Decimal number calculated correctly (based on existing decimals)
• User informed of next steps and dependency implications </success_criteria>
