<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.

<objective> Check project progress, summarize recent work and what's ahead, then intelligently route to the next action.

Three modes:

  • **default**: Show progress report + intelligently route to the next action (execute or plan). Provides situational awareness before continuing work.
  • **--next**: Automatically advance to the next logical step without manual route selection. Reads STATE.md, ROADMAP.md, and phase directories. Supports `--force` to bypass safety gates.
  • **--do "task description"**: Analyze freeform natural language and dispatch to the most appropriate GSD command. Never does the work itself — matches intent, confirms, hands off.
  • **--forensic**: Append a 6-check integrity audit after the standard progress report.

</objective>

<flags>

  • **--next**: Detect current project state and automatically invoke the next logical GSD workflow step. Scans all prior phases for incomplete work before routing. `--next --force` bypasses safety gates.
  • **--next --auto**: Like `--next`, but after the determined step completes, automatically re-invokes `/gsd-progress --next --auto` to continue chaining steps until completion or a blocking decision. Enables hands-free plan→execute→verify→complete progression.
  • **--next --converge**: When the next action is planning (Route 3), route it through the plan-review **convergence** loop instead of the standard planner. Requires `workflow.plan_review_convergence=true` (enable with `gsd config-set workflow.plan_review_convergence true`). `--cross-ai` is an alias. Reviewer flags (`--codex`, `--claude`, `--opencode`, `--ollama`, `--lm-studio`, `--llama-cpp`, `--all`) and `--max-cycles N` are forwarded to the convergence loop.
  • **--do "..."**: Smart dispatcher — match freeform intent to the best GSD command using routing rules, confirm the match, then hand off.
  • **--forensic**: Run 6-check integrity audit after the standard progress report.
  • **(no flag)**: Standard progress check + intelligent routing (Routes A through F).

<process> Arguments provided: see the `<arguments>` block above. Parse the first token from the provided arguments:

  • If it is `--next`: strip the flag, execute the next workflow (passing remaining args e.g. --force, --auto).
  • If it is `--do`: strip the flag, pass remainder as freeform intent to the do workflow.
  • Otherwise: execute the progress workflow end-to-end (pass --forensic through if present).

Preserve all routing logic from the target workflow. </process>
