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.
Display project statistics — phases, plans, requirements, git metrics, and timelineKey capabilities
- →Display phase progress.
- →Show plan execution metrics.
- →Report requirements completion.
- →Present git history statistics.
- →Visualize project timeline.
- →Map user questions to `request_user_input` for interactive prompts.
How it works
The skill aggregates and displays various project statistics by translating GSD workflow commands into Codex-compatible actions. It uses `request_user_input` for interactive prompts and `spawn_agent` for tasks.
Inputs & outputs
When to use gsd-stats

About this skill
<codex_skill_adapter>
A. Skill Invocation
- This skill is invoked by mentioning
$gsd-stats. - Treat all user text after
$gsd-statsas{{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 or unavailable, activate TEXT_MODE: append--textto{{GSD_ARGS}}so the workflow's built-in text-mode branching takes over. Present everyAskUserQuestioncall as a plain-text numbered list, then stop and wait for the user's reply. Do NOT pick a default and continue (#3018 / #3808). - You may only proceed without a user answer when one of these is true:
(a) the invocation included an explicit non-interactive flag (
--autoor--all), (b) the user has explicitly approved a specific default for this question, or (c) the workflow's documented contract says defaults are safe (e.g. autonomous lifecycle paths). - Do NOT write workflow artifacts (CONTEXT.md, DISCUSSION-LOG.md, PLAN.md, checkpoint files) until the user has answered the plain-text questions or one of (a)-(c) above applies. Surfacing the questions and waiting is the correct response — silently defaulting and writing artifacts is the #3018 failure mode.
C. Task() → spawn_agent Mapping
GSD workflows use Task(...) (Claude Code syntax). Translate to Codex collaboration tools:
Schema detection (required first step): Codex exposes two spawn_agent schemas:
- agent_type-capable schema (e.g.
multi_agent_v2):spawn_agentacceptsagent_type,message,reasoning_effort,fork_context, etc. — typed GSD agent dispatch is available. - Generic schema (
multi_agent_v1):spawn_agentaccepts onlymessage,items,fork_context— there is noagent_typefield. Typed GSD agent dispatch is unavailable in this session.
Before spawning, inspect the spawn_agent tool's visible parameter schema (via tool_search or the tool list) to determine which form is active.
Typed mapping (agent_type-capable schema only):
Task(subagent_type="X", prompt="Y")→spawn_agent(agent_type="X", message="Y")Agent(subagent_type="X", prompt="Y")→spawn_agent(agent_type="X", message="Y")Task(model="...")→ omit.spawn_agenthas no inlinemodelparameter; GSD embeds the resolved per-agent model directly into each agent's.tomlat install time somodel_overridesfrom.planning/config.jsonand~/.gsd/defaults.jsonare honored automatically by Codex's agent router.- Resolved
reasoning_effort="low|medium|high|xhigh"(xhighis a GSD/Codex tier, not a generic runtime enum) → passreasoning_efforttospawn_agentwhen the runtime/tool supports it. Omit missing, empty, inherited, or unsupported values; do not invent one-off effort literals in workflow prose. fork_context: falseby default — GSD agents load their own context via<files_to_read>blocksTask(isolation="worktree")/Agent(isolation="worktree")→ no direct Codex mapping. Codexspawn_agentdoes not create or bind a git worktree automatically. Workflows that require this isolation must fail closed or use an explicit manual worktree protocol before spawning (#3360).
Generic-agent workaround (multi_agent_v1 schema — NO agent_type field):
When only the generic multi_agent_v1 schema is available, typed GSD agent dispatch
(gsd-planner, gsd-executor, etc.) is NOT possible. This is a known Codex limitation
(openai/codex#15250). This workaround is NOT equivalent to typed gsd-planner/gsd-executor
execution — GSD agents carry project-aware prompts, audit logging, and workflow context
that a generic subagent lacks. Use the following fallback:
- Resolve your active Codex config root — the directory that contains your
config.toml. This directory is determined in priority order:$CODEX_HOME(if set), the path given by--config-dir(if passed on invocation), a local.codexdirectory in the current project (if--localwas used), or the default global config directory. Readagents/<agent-name>.tomlrelative to that config root to extract the agent's system instructions. - Inject those instructions as a role-preamble into a generic
spawn_agent(message=...)call. - Label results and logs clearly as "generic-agent workaround" so the orchestrator and user know full typed-agent guarantees are not in effect.
- Where typed dispatch is mandatory for correctness (e.g. worktree isolation), fail closed and report the schema limitation rather than silently degrading.
Spawn restriction:
- Codex restricts
spawn_agentto cases where the user has explicitly requested sub-agents. When automatic spawning is not permitted, do the work inline in the current agent rather than attempting to force a spawn. - In some Codex sessions, multi-agent tooling can be deferred. If
spawn_agentis not currently visible, discover tools first viatool_searchbefore defaulting to inline execution.
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>
<execution_context> @/home/user/projects/temp/ai-apps/.personal-projects/registry-atlas/.codex/gsd-core/workflows/stats.md </execution_context>
<process> Execute end-to-end. </process>When not to use it
- →When `request_user_input` is rejected or unavailable, and the skill is not in TEXT_MODE.
- →When the user has not explicitly approved a specific default for a question.
- →When the workflow's documented contract does not state that defaults are safe.
Limitations
- →It cannot proceed without a user answer unless specific conditions are met.
- →It will not write workflow artifacts until the user has answered plain-text questions or conditions apply.
- →It requires schema detection to determine the available `spawn_agent` capabilities.
How it compares
This skill provides a consolidated view of project health and progress through automated reporting, offering a more efficient and consistent overview than manually gathering metrics from disparate sources.
