Manage persistent context threads for cross-session work
56 charsno explicit “when” trigger
Beginner

Key capabilities

  • →List all existing persistent context threads.
  • →Resume an existing thread by loading its context into the current session.
  • →Create a new thread with a given description.
  • →Generate a slug from the thread description.
  • →Add relevant context from the current conversation to a new thread.
  • →Commit the newly created thread file.

How it works

The skill parses `{{GSD_ARGS}}` to determine if it should list, resume, or create a thread. It lists threads by reading `.planning/threads/`, resumes by `cat`ing the file, and creates by generating a slug, writing a new file, and committing it.

Inputs & outputs

You give it
No arguments to list threads, an existing thread name to resume, or a new description to create a thread.
You get back
A list of active threads, the content of a resumed thread, or a newly created thread file in `.planning/threads/`.

When to use gsd-thread

  • →Managing multi-session projects
  • →Keeping conversation history
  • →Tracking project context

About gsd-thread

Maintains persistent threads that link tasks across sessions. It allows for organized progress tracking and state maintenance.

Manage persistent context threads for cross-session work

When not to use it

  • →When the work is phase-scoped.
  • →When the user wants to pause work with phase state and plan context.
  • →When the user wants to add a phase or backlog item directly.

Limitations

  • →Threads are not phase-scoped.
  • →It is lighter weight than `/gsd-pause-work`.
  • →It does not automatically promote threads to phases or backlog items.

How it compares

This skill provides a lightweight, cross-session knowledge store for work that spans multiple sessions but doesn't fit into a specific phase, offering more flexibility than rigid phase-based tracking.
