Detect current project state and automatically advance to the next logical GSD workflow step.
Reads project state to determine: discuss → plan → execute → verify → complete progression.
Read all files referenced by the invoking prompt's execution_context before starting.
Read project state to determine current position:
```bash
# Get state snapshot
node "C:/Users/yaoji/.claude/get-shit-done/bin/gsd-tools.cjs" state json 2>/dev/null || echo "{}"
```
Also read:
- `.planning/STATE.md` — current phase, progress, plan counts
- `.planning/ROADMAP.md` — milestone structure and phase list
Extract:
- `current_phase` — which phase is active
- `plan_of` / `plans_total` — plan execution progress
- `progress` — overall percentage
- `status` — active, paused, etc.
If no `.planning/` directory exists:
```
No GSD project detected. Run `/gsd:new-project` to get started.
```
Exit.
Apply routing rules based on state:
**Route 1: No phases exist yet → discuss**
If ROADMAP has phases but no phase directories exist on disk:
→ Next action: `/gsd:discuss-phase `
**Route 2: Phase exists but has no CONTEXT.md or RESEARCH.md → discuss**
If the current phase directory exists but has neither CONTEXT.md nor RESEARCH.md:
→ Next action: `/gsd:discuss-phase `
**Route 3: Phase has context but no plans → plan**
If the current phase has CONTEXT.md (or RESEARCH.md) but no PLAN.md files:
→ Next action: `/gsd:plan-phase `
**Route 4: Phase has plans but incomplete summaries → execute**
If plans exist but not all have matching summaries:
→ Next action: `/gsd:execute-phase `
**Route 5: All plans have summaries → verify and complete**
If all plans in the current phase have summaries:
→ Next action: `/gsd:verify-work` then `/gsd:complete-phase`
**Route 6: Phase complete, next phase exists → advance**
If the current phase is complete and the next phase exists in ROADMAP:
→ Next action: `/gsd:discuss-phase `
**Route 7: All phases complete → complete milestone**
If all phases are complete:
→ Next action: `/gsd:complete-milestone`
**Route 8: Paused → resume**
If STATE.md shows paused_at:
→ Next action: `/gsd:resume-work`
Display the determination:
```
## GSD Next
**Current:** Phase [N] — [name] | [progress]%
**Status:** [status description]
▶ **Next step:** `/gsd:[command] [args]`
[One-line explanation of why this is the next step]
```
Then immediately invoke the determined command via SlashCommand.
Do not ask for confirmation — the whole point of `/gsd:next` is zero-friction advancement.
- [ ] Project state correctly detected
- [ ] Next action correctly determined from routing rules
- [ ] Command invoked immediately without user confirmation
- [ ] Clear status shown before invoking
