How this skill gets triggered: by you, by Claude, or both.
- Fires itselfAuto-invocation. Claude auto-loads it when your prompt matches the work.Auto-invocation is when the right skill fires by itself at the right moment, driven by a FLOW.md router and a hook, instead of you invoking it by name. It is the difference between a skill being installed and a skill actually getting used.Read the full definition →

/gsd-workstreams
Manage parallel workstreams for concurrent milestone work.
Usage
`/gsd-workstreams [subcommand] [args]`
Subcommands
| Command | Description | |---------|-------------| | `list` | List all workstreams with status | | `create <name>` | Create a new workstream | | `status <name>` | Detailed status for one workstream | | `switch <name>` | Set active workstream | | `progress` | Progress summary across all workstreams | | `complete <name>` | Archive a completed workstream | | `resume <name>` | Resume work in a workstream |
Step 1: Parse Subcommand
Parse the user's input to determine which workstream operation to perform. If no subcommand given, default to `list`.
Step 2: Execute Operation
list
Run: `gsd-tools query workstream.list --raw --cwd "$CWD"` Display the workstreams in a table format showing name, status, current phase, and progress.
create
Run: `gsd-tools query workstream.create <name> --raw --cwd "$CWD"` After creation, display the new workstream path and suggest next steps:
- `/gsd-new-milestone --ws <name>` to set up the milestone
status
Run: `gsd-tools query workstream.status <name> --raw --cwd "$CWD"` Display detailed phase breakdown and state information.
switch
Run: `gsd-tools query workstream.set <name> --raw --cwd "$CWD"` Also set `GSD_WORKSTREAM` for the current session when the runtime supports it. If the runtime exposes a session identifier, GSD also stores the active workstream session-locally so concurrent sessions do not overwrite each other.
progress
Run: `gsd-tools query workstream.progress --raw --cwd "$CWD"` Display a progress overview across all workstreams.
complete
Run: `gsd-tools query workstream.complete <name> --raw --cwd "$CWD"` Archive the workstream to milestones/.
resume
Set the workstream as active and suggest `/gsd-resume-work --ws <name>`.
Step 3: Display Results
Format the JSON output from gsd-tools query into a human-readable display. Include the `${GSD_WS}` flag in any routing suggestions.
