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 timeline
83 charsno explicit “when” trigger
Beginner

Key capabilities

  • Display project phases statistics
  • Show plan execution metrics
  • Report requirements completion status
  • Generate project timeline information
  • Translate GSD-based queries into system metrics

How it works

The skill processes a request for project statistics and displays complete data on phases, plans, requirements, git metrics, and timeline.

Inputs & outputs

You give it
A request for project statistics
You get back
complete project statistics including phase progress, plan execution, requirements, git history, and timeline

When to use gsd-stats

  • Review project timeline progress
  • Check current requirements status
  • Analyze git metrics for a phase
  • Generate report on project completion

About this skill

<codex_skill_adapter>

A. Skill Invocation

  • This skill is invoked by mentioning $gsd-stats.
  • Treat all user text after $gsd-stats as {{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:

  • headerheader
  • questionquestion
  • Options formatted as "Label" — description{label: "Label", description: "description"}
  • Generate id from header: lowercase, replace spaces with underscores

Batched calls:

  • AskUserQuestion([q1, q2]) → single request_user_input with multiple entries in questions[]

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_input is rejected or unavailable, you MUST stop and present the questions as a plain-text numbered list, then wait for the user's reply. Do NOT pick a default and continue (#3018).
  • You may only proceed without a user answer when one of these is true: (a) the invocation included an explicit non-interactive flag (--auto or --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:

Direct mapping:

  • Task(subagent_type="X", prompt="Y")spawn_agent(agent_type="X", message="Y")
  • Task(model="...") → omit. spawn_agent has no inline model parameter; GSD embeds the resolved per-agent model directly into each agent's .toml at install time so model_overrides from .planning/config.json and ~/.gsd/defaults.json are honored automatically by Codex's agent router.
  • fork_context: false by default — GSD agents load their own context via <files_to_read> blocks

Spawn restriction:

  • Codex restricts spawn_agent to 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.

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>
<objective> Display comprehensive project statistics including phase progress, plan execution metrics, requirements completion, git history stats, and project timeline. </objective>

<execution_context> @/Volumes/External/ColourWithin/dot-github/.codex/get-shit-done/workflows/stats.md </execution_context>

<process> Execute end-to-end. </process>

When not to use it

  • When the user needs to modify project state
  • When the user needs to execute GSD workflows

Limitations

  • The skill is read-only for project statistics
  • The skill relies on GSD-specific project structures
  • The skill does not support modifying project data

How it compares

This skill provides a consolidated view of various project statistics, offering a quick overview of project health and progress, unlike manually gathering data from disparate sources.
