Gsd To Autoforge Spec

ls -la .planning/codebase/

Required files: STACK.md, ARCHITECTURE.md, STRUCTURE.md

If .planning/codebase/ doesn't exist:

GSD codebase mapping not found.

Run /gsd:map-codebase first to analyze the existing codebase.

Stop workflow. </step>

Read all available GSD documents:

cat .planning/codebase/STACK.md
cat .planning/codebase/ARCHITECTURE.md
cat .planning/codebase/STRUCTURE.md
cat .planning/codebase/CONVENTIONS.md 2>/dev/null || true
cat .planning/codebase/INTEGRATIONS.md 2>/dev/null || true

Extract key information:

• From STACK.md: Languages, frameworks, dependencies, runtime, ports
• From ARCHITECTURE.md: Patterns, layers, data flow, entry points
• From STRUCTURE.md: Directory layout, key file locations, naming conventions
• From INTEGRATIONS.md: External APIs, services, databases </step>

cat package.json 2>/dev/null | head -20 || echo "No package.json"

Extract:

• Project name
• Version
• Main dependencies </step>

Create prompts/ directory:

mkdir -p .autoforge/prompts

Mapping GSD Documents to AutoForge Spec:

Feature Generation Guidelines:

1. Analyze existing code structure to infer implemented features
2. Each feature must be testable: "User can...", "System displays...", "API returns..."
3. Group features by category matching architecture layers
4. Target feature counts by complexity:
   • Simple CLI/utility: ~100-150 features
   • Medium web app: ~200-250 features
   • Complex full-stack: ~300-400 features

Write the spec file using the XML format from references/app-spec-format.md:

cat > .autoforge/prompts/app_spec.txt << 'EOF'
<project_specification>
  <project_name>{from package.json or directory}</project_name>

      - All existing features continue working

Validation checklist:

• <project_specification> root tag present
• <project_name> matches actual project
• <technology_stack> reflects STACK.md
• <core_features> has categorized features
• Features are specific and testable </step>

Output:

app_spec.txt generated from GSD codebase mapping.

Source: .planning/codebase/*.md
Output: .autoforge/prompts/app_spec.txt

Next: Start AutoForge

  cd {project_dir}
  python ~/projects/autoforge/start.py

Or via UI:
  ~/projects/autoforge/start_ui.sh

The Initializer will create features.db from this spec.
