# Get Shit Done Multi
**Spec-driven development system for AI coding assistants with multi-platform support**

**Supported Platforms:** Claude Code ยท GitHub Copilot CLI ยท Codex CLI
> **๐ฆ Template System** โ Starting v2.0.0, this repository serves as a multi-platform template installer.

> For the primary GSD development and in-depth documentation, see [get-shit-done](https://github.com/glittercowboy/get-shit-done).
## ๐ Mission Accomplished โ This Fork is Now Archived
Good news: this fork did its job! GitHub Copilot support has been officially merged into the upstream repository via [PR #911](https://github.com/gsd-build/get-shit-done/pull/911), which was the main reason this fork existed in the first place.
On top of that, the `/gsd-autonomous` command โ which lets you advance directly through available phases without manual intervention โ is also now part of the official release.
**We recommend switching to the official repo:** [gsd-build/get-shit-done](https://github.com/gsd-build/get-shit-done)
If you're using GitHub Copilot, you can get up and running with just:
```bash
npx get-shit-done-cc@latest --copilot
```
This repository will no longer receive active updates. Thanks for being part of the ride! ๐

## What It Does
Get Shit Done Multi (GSD Multi) is a template-based installer that deploys working AI assistant skills and agents to
multiple platforms with a single command. Instead of manually configuring your Claude Code, GitHub Copilot CLI, or
Codex CLI environment, GSD Multi installs a complete spec-driven development system.
This system transforms AI coding into a structured workflow: define your idea, let AI research and plan, then execute
with atomic commits and fresh context. You get clean git history, reproducible builds, and human-in-loop verification
at key points.
The multi-platform approach means you can use the same workflow across different AI assistants, switching platforms as
needed while maintaining project state.
## Quick Start
```bash
npx get-shit-done-multi
```
The installer detects your platform (Claude Code, GitHub Copilot CLI, or Codex CLI) and deploys 29 skills and 13
agents. After installation, start your first project with platform-specific commands:
```bash
# Claude Code / GitHub Copilot CLI
/gsd-new-project
# Codex CLI
$gsd-new-project
```
The system guides you through questioning, research, requirements extraction, and roadmap creation. Then execute
phase by phase with atomic task plans and clean commits.
**Note:** Use `/gsd-` prefix for Claude and Copilot, `$gsd-` prefix for Codex.
### Beta Version
Test the latest features before stable release:
```bash
npx get-shit-done-multi@beta
```
The beta version includes pre-release features from the dev branch.

```
Each phase produces small, focused plans that execute in fresh context windows to avoid degradation. Human verification
happens at natural checkpoints.
## GSD Workflow Commands
The complete workflow cycle uses these commands:
- **`/gsd-new-project`** or **`$gsd-new-project`** โ Start new project with guided setup
- **`/gsd-discuss-phase `** โ Explore phase approach through questions
- **`/gsd-research-phase `** โ Research implementation patterns
- **`/gsd-plan-phase `** โ Create atomic execution plans
- **`/gsd-execute-phase `** โ Execute all plans with fresh context
- **`/gsd-verify-work`** โ Manual acceptance testing
- **`/gsd-complete-milestone`** โ Archive and prepare next milestone
See [How GSD Works](https://github.com/shoootyou/get-shit-done-multi/blob/HEAD/docs/how-gsd-works.md) for detailed workflow explanation.
## Supported Platforms
- **Claude Code** - Skills-based system with slash commands (replaces legacy `.claude/commands/`)
- **GitHub Copilot CLI** - Conversational interface with agent support
- **Codex CLI** - OpenAI's command-line interface
All platforms share the same workflow and project state. Switch between platforms mid-project as needed.
**Note for Claude users:** GSD Multi uses Claude's skills system (`.claude/skills/`). The legacy commands directory
(`.claude/commands/`) has been deprecated by Claude in favor of skills, which provide the same slash command interface
with additional features like frontmatter control and automatic loading. See
[Platform Specifics](https://github.com/shoootyou/get-shit-done-multi/blob/HEAD/docs/platform-specifics.md) for details.

## Credits & License
This project (GSD Multi) is a multi-platform fork of the original
[get-shit-done](https://github.com/glittercowboy/get-shit-done) framework by Lex Christopherson.
**Fork Point:** v1.6.4 (https://github.com/glittercowboy/get-shit-done/releases/tag/v1.6.4)
**Version Timeline:**
- v1.7.0 (2026-01-19): Multi-CLI support experiments (Codex CLI added)
- v1.8.0 (2026-01-20): Milestone archiving and mapping improvements
- v2.0.0 (current): Full multi-platform + template system achievement
**Key Differences:**
- Original: Primary GSD development, Claude-only, source of all capabilities
- GSD Multi: Multi-platform template installer (Claude, Copilot, Codex) โ syncs from original
**Starting v2.0.0:** This repository functions as a template synchronization system. All new capabilities, skills, and agents are developed in the original get-shit-done repository and synced here for multi-platform deployment.
