Gsd Verify Work

<objective> Validate built features through conversational testing with persistent state.

Purpose: Confirm what Claude built actually works from user's perspective. One test at a time, plain text responses, no interrogation. When issues are found, automatically diagnose, plan fixes, and prepare for execution.

Output: {phase}-UAT.md tracking all test results. If issues found: diagnosed gaps, verified fix plans ready for /​gsd-execute-phase </​objective>

<execution_context> @.github/​get-shit-done/​workflows/​verify-work.md @.github/​get-shit-done/​templates/​UAT.md </​execution_context>

<context> Phase: $ARGUMENTS (optional) - If provided: Test specific phase (e.g., "4") - If not provided: Check for active sessions or prompt for phase

@.planning/​STATE.md @.planning/​ROADMAP.md </​context>

<process> 1. Check for active UAT sessions (resume or start new) 2. Find SUMMARY.md files for the phase 3. Extract testable deliverables (user-observable outcomes) 4. Create {phase}-UAT.md with test list 5. Present tests one at a time: - Show expected behavior - Wait for plain text response - "yes/​y/​next" = pass, anything else = issue (severity inferred) 6. Update UAT.md after each response 7. On completion: commit, present summary 8. If issues found: - Spawn parallel debug agents to diagnose root causes - Spawn gsd-planner in --gaps mode to create fix plans - Spawn gsd-plan-checker to verify fix plans - Iterate planner ↔ checker until plans pass (max 3) - Present ready status with `/​clear` then `/​gsd-execute-phase` </​process>

<anti_patterns>

• Don't use AskUserQuestion for test responses — plain text conversation
• Don't ask severity — infer from description
• Don't present full checklist upfront — one test at a time
• Don't run automated tests — this is manual user validation
• Don't fix issues during testing — log as gaps, diagnose after all tests complete </​anti_patterns>

Phase {Z}: {Name}

{N}/​{M} tests passed {X} issues diagnosed Fix plans verified ✓

Issues Found

{List issues with severity from UAT.md}

▶ Next Up

Execute fix plans — run diagnosed fixes

Also available:

• cat .planning/​phases/​{phase_dir}/​*-PLAN.md — review fix plans
• /​gsd-plan-phase {Z} --gaps — regenerate fix plans

Route D: Issues found, planning blocked

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ GSD ► PHASE {Z} BLOCKED ✗ ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Phase {Z}: {Name}

{N}/​{M} tests passed Fix planning blocked after {X} iterations

Unresolved Issues

{List blocking issues from planner/​checker output}

Manual intervention required

Review the issues above and either:

1. Provide guidance for fix planning
2. Manually address blockers
3. Accept current state and continue

───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

Options:

• /​gsd-plan-phase {Z} --gaps — retry fix planning with guidance
• /​gsd-discuss-phase {Z} — gather more context before replanning

<success_criteria>

• UAT.md created with tests from SUMMARY.md
• Tests presented one at a time with expected behavior
• Plain text responses (no structured forms)
• Severity inferred, never asked
• Batched writes: on issue, every 5 passes, or completion
• Committed on completion
• If issues: parallel debug agents diagnose root causes
• If issues: gsd-planner creates fix plans from diagnosed gaps
• If issues: gsd-plan-checker verifies fix plans (max 3 iterations)
• Ready for /​gsd-execute-phase when complete </​success_criteria>
