Command definition
new-project.mdname: gsd:new-project
description: Initialize a new project with deep context gathering and PROJECT.md
argument-hint: "[--auto]"
allowed-tools:
- Read
- Bash
- Write
- Agent
- AskUserQuestion
requires: [config, phase, plan-phase]
<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:plan-phase 1` to start execution. </objective>
<execution_context> @~/.claude/gsd-core/workflows/new-project.md @~/.claude/gsd-core/references/questioning.md @~/.claude/gsd-core/references/ui-brand.md @~/.claude/gsd-core/templates/project.md @~/.claude/gsd-core/templates/requirements.md </execution_context>
<process> Execute end-to-end. Preserve all workflow gates (validation, approvals, commits, routing). </process>
