<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>

Questions about gsd-new-project.
- Which coding agents can use gsd-new-project?
- gsd-new-project installs in Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot, OpenCode and Windsurf with the skills CLI, using each agent's flag shown on this page. Flowy's auto-invocation, which fires a skill when your prompt matches, runs in Claude Code only.
