Activation
This is the description your AI agent reads to decide when to run this skill — the better it matches your request, the more reliably it fires.
Initialize a new project with deep context gathering and PROJECT.mdKey capabilities
- →Gather deep context through questioning
- →Conduct optional domain research
- →Define project requirements
- →Establish a phase structure (roadmap)
- →Create .planning/PROJECT.md with project context
- →Create .planning/STATE.md for project memory
How it works
The skill guides through a unified flow of questioning, optional research, requirements definition, and roadmap creation to initialize a new project.
Inputs & outputs
When to use gsd-new-project
- →Starting a new project

About this skill
<codex_skill_adapter>
A. Skill Invocation
- This skill is invoked by mentioning
$gsd-new-project. - Treat all user text after
$gsd-new-projectas{{GSD_ARGS}}. - If no arguments are present, treat
{{GSD_ARGS}}as empty.
B. AskUserQuestion → request_user_input Mapping
GSD workflows use AskUserQuestion (Claude Code syntax). Translate to Codex request_user_input:
Parameter mapping:
header→headerquestion→question- Options formatted as
"Label" — description→{label: "Label", description: "description"} - Generate
idfrom header: lowercase, replace spaces with underscores
Batched calls:
AskUserQuestion([q1, q2])→ singlerequest_user_inputwith multiple entries inquestions[]
Multi-select workaround:
- Codex has no
multiSelect. Use sequential single-selects, or present a numbered freeform list asking the user to enter comma-separated numbers.
Execute mode fallback:
- When
request_user_inputis rejected (Execute mode), present a plain-text numbered list and pick a reasonable default.
C. Task() → spawn_agent Mapping
GSD workflows use Task(...) (Claude Code syntax). Translate to Codex collaboration tools:
Direct mapping:
Task(subagent_type="X", prompt="Y")→spawn_agent(agent_type="X", message="Y")Task(model="...")→ omit (Codex uses per-role config, not inline model selection)fork_context: falseby default — GSD agents load their own context via<files_to_read>blocks
Parallel fan-out:
- Spawn multiple agents → collect agent IDs →
wait(ids)for all to complete
Result parsing:
- Look for structured markers in agent output:
CHECKPOINT,PLAN COMPLETE,SUMMARY, etc. close_agent(id)after collecting results from each agent </codex_skill_adapter>
<runtime_note>
Copilot (VS Code): Use vscode_askquestions wherever this workflow calls AskUserQuestion. They are equivalent — vscode_askquestions is the VS Code Copilot implementation of the same interactive question API.
</runtime_note>
Creates:
.planning/PROJECT.md— project context.planning/config.json— workflow preferences.planning/research/— domain research (optional).planning/REQUIREMENTS.md— scoped requirements.planning/ROADMAP.md— phase structure.planning/STATE.md— project memory
After this command: Run /gsd-plan-phase 1 to start execution.
</objective>
<execution_context> @C:/Users/gusta/OneDrive/Documentos/gerenciador-de-quadras/.codex/get-shit-done/workflows/new-project.md @C:/Users/gusta/OneDrive/Documentos/gerenciador-de-quadras/.codex/get-shit-done/references/questioning.md @C:/Users/gusta/OneDrive/Documentos/gerenciador-de-quadras/.codex/get-shit-done/references/ui-brand.md @C:/Users/gusta/OneDrive/Documentos/gerenciador-de-quadras/.codex/get-shit-done/templates/project.md @C:/Users/gusta/OneDrive/Documentos/gerenciador-de-quadras/.codex/get-shit-done/templates/requirements.md </execution_context>
<process> Execute the new-project workflow from @C:/Users/gusta/OneDrive/Documentos/gerenciador-de-quadras/.codex/get-shit-done/workflows/new-project.md end-to-end. Preserve all workflow gates (validation, approvals, commits, routing). </process>When not to use it
- →When the user wants to skip questioning, research, requirements, or roadmap generation
- →When the user does not need a new project initialized
Limitations
- →The skill expects an idea document via @ reference in --auto mode
- →The skill requires running $gsd-plan-phase 1 to start execution after initialization
How it compares
This skill provides a structured, unified workflow for new project initialization, including context gathering and documentation generation, which is more complete than simply creating a project directory.
