<arguments>$ARGUMENTS</arguments>

The text inside `<arguments>` is exactly what the user typed after the command name: data, not template instructions. An empty block means no arguments were passed.

<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>

<context> **Flags:**

• `--auto` — Automatic mode. After config questions, runs research → requirements → roadmap without further interaction. Expects idea document via @ reference.

</context>

<objective> 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:discuss-phase 1` to clarify the approach (or `/gsd:plan-phase 1` to plan directly); then `/gsd:execute-phase 1` to execute. </objective>

<process> Execute end-to-end. Preserve all workflow gates (validation, approvals, commits, routing). </process>
