claude-config/get-shit-done/workflows/settings.md

<purpose>
Interactive configuration of GSD workflow agents (research, plan_check, verifier) and model profile selection via multi-question prompt. Updates .planning/config.json with user preferences. Optionally saves settings as global defaults (~/.gsd/defaults.json) for future projects.
</purpose>

<required_reading>
Read all files referenced by the invoking prompt's execution_context before starting.

<process>

<step name="ensure_and_load_config">
Ensure config exists and load current state:

```bash
node "C:/Users/yaoji/.claude/get-shit-done/bin/gsd-tools.cjs" config-ensure-section
INIT=$(node "C:/Users/yaoji/.claude/get-shit-done/bin/gsd-tools.cjs" state load)
if [[ "$INIT" == @file:* ]]; then INIT=$(cat "${INIT#@file:}"); fi
```

Creates `.planning/config.json` with defaults if missing and loads current config values.
</step>

<step name="read_current">
```bash
cat .planning/config.json
```

Parse current values (default to `true` if not present):
- `workflow.research` — spawn researcher during plan-phase
- `workflow.plan_check` — spawn plan checker during plan-phase
- `workflow.verifier` — spawn verifier during execute-phase
- `workflow.nyquist_validation` — validation architecture research during plan-phase (default: true if absent)
- `workflow.ui_phase` — generate UI-SPEC.md design contracts for frontend phases (default: true if absent)
- `workflow.ui_safety_gate` — prompt to run /gsd:ui-phase before planning frontend phases (default: true if absent)
- `model_profile` — which model each agent uses (default: `balanced`)
- `git.branching_strategy` — branching approach (default: `"none"`)

<step name="update_config">
Merge new settings into existing config.json:

```json
{
  ...existing_config,
  "model_profile": "quality" | "balanced" | "budget" | "inherit",
  "workflow": {
    "research": true/false,
    "plan_check": true/false,
    "verifier": true/false,
    "auto_advance": true/false,
    "nyquist_validation": true/false,
    "ui_phase": true/false,
    "ui_safety_gate": true/false
  },
  "git": {
    "branching_strategy": "none" | "phase" | "milestone"
  },
  "hooks": {
    "context_warnings": true/false
  }
}
```

Write updated config to `.planning/config.json`.
</step>

<step name="save_as_defaults">
Ask whether to save these settings as global defaults for future projects:

```
AskUserQuestion([
  {
    question: "Save these as default settings for all new projects?",
    header: "Defaults",
    multiSelect: false,
    options: [
      { label: "Yes", description: "New projects start with these settings (saved to ~/.gsd/defaults.json)" },
      { label: "No", description: "Only apply to this project" }
    ]
  }
])
```

If "Yes": write the same config object (minus project-specific fields like `brave_search`) to `~/.gsd/defaults.json`:

```bash
mkdir -p ~/.gsd
```

Write `~/.gsd/defaults.json` with:
```json
{
  "mode": <current>,
  "granularity": <current>,
  "model_profile": <current>,
  "commit_docs": <current>,
  "parallelization": <current>,

| Context Warnings     | {On/Off} |
| Saved as Defaults    | {Yes/No} |

These settings apply to future /gsd:plan-phase and /gsd:execute-phase runs.

Quick commands:
- /gsd:set-profile <profile> — switch model profile
- /gsd:plan-phase --research — force research
- /gsd:plan-phase --skip-research — skip research
- /gsd:plan-phase --skip-verify — skip plan check
```
