The instruction itself

as written by the author

<objective>

Reverse-migrate a GSD-2 project (.gsd/ directory) back to GSD v1 (.planning/) format.

Maps the GSD-2 hierarchy (Milestone → Slice → Task) to the GSD v1 hierarchy (Milestone sections in ROADMAP.md → Phase → Plan), preserving completion state, research files, and summaries.

CJS-only: from-gsd2 is not on the gsd-sdk query registry; call gsd-tools.cjs as shown below (see docs/CLI-TOOLS.md).

</objective>

<process>

  • Locate the .gsd/ directory — check the current working directory (or --path argument):
   node "$HOME/.claude/get-shit-done/bin/gsd-tools.cjs" from-gsd2 --dry-run

If no .gsd/ is found, report the error and stop.

  • Show the dry-run preview — present the full file list and migration statistics to the user. Ask for confirmation before writing anything.
  • Run the migration after confirmation:
   node "$HOME/.claude/get-shit-done/bin/gsd-tools.cjs" from-gsd2

Use --force if .planning/ already exists and the user has confirmed overwrite.

  • Report the result — show the filesWritten count, planningDir path, and the preview summary.

</process>

<notes>

  • The migration is non-destructive: .gsd/ is never modified or removed.
  • Pass --path <dir> to migrate a project at a different path than the current directory.
  • Slices are numbered sequentially across all milestones (M001/S01 → phase 01, M001/S02 → phase 02, M002/S01 → phase 03, etc.).
  • Tasks within each slice become plans (T01 → plan 01, T02 → plan 02, etc.).
  • Completed slices and tasks carry their done state into ROADMAP.md checkboxes and SUMMARY.md files.
  • GSD-2 cost/token ledger, database state, and VS Code extension state cannot be migrated.

How to use it

Copy the folder

Take davepoon/gsd:from-gsd2 from the repository into ~/.claude/skills for personal use, or into .claude/skills inside a project.

Check the name does not clash

The agent identifies a skill by the name field in its header. Two skills with the same name cannot sit side by side — one of them will be ignored.
