// install — copy + paste into any project

mkdir -p .claude/skills && curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/davepoon/buildwithclaude/HEAD/plugins/gsd/skills/new-project/SKILL.md -o .claude/skills/new-project.md

Drops the SKILL.md into .claude/skills/new-project.md. Works with Claude Code, Cursor, and any agent that loads SKILL.md files from .claude/skills/.

**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. **Flags:** - `--auto` — Automatic mode. After config questions, runs research → requirements → roadmap without further interaction. Expects idea document via @ reference. Initialize a new project through unified flow: questioning → research (optional) → requirements → roadmap.

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.
