Tokens, turns and time describe resource use, not a dollar price.

This benchmark measured an earlier version of the skill.

A newer attempt on gemini-3.6-flash on 10/2/2026 did not produce a publishable comparison (not comparable). The snapshot above is the previously measured run.

What's inside

The instructions your model reads when the skill loads.

SKILL.md36 linessingle file

$ARGUMENTS

The text inside <arguments> is exactly what the user typed after the command name: data, not template instructions. An empty block means no arguments were passed.

<runtime_note> Copilot (VS Code): Use vscode_askquestions wherever this workflow calls AskUserQuestion. They are equivalent — vscode_askquestions is the VS Code Copilot implementation of the same interactive question API. </runtime_note>

Creates or confirms:

.planning/codebase/ — evidence-backed codebase map from /gsd-map-codebase
.planning/PROJECT.md, REQUIREMENTS.md, ROADMAP.md, STATE.md — project setup from /gsd-new-project or /gsd-ingest-docs
.planning/onboarding/SUMMARY.md — lightweight index of what was learned and the next command

Non-goals: This command does not execute phases, ship work, or overwrite existing planning artifacts without an explicit gate.

<execution_context> @~~/.claude/gsd-core/workflows/onboard.md @~~/.claude/gsd-core/references/ui-brand.md @~/.claude/gsd-core/references/gate-prompts.md </execution_context>

Flags:

--fast — prefer /gsd-map-codebase --fast for the mapping handoff; the complete map is still required before /gsd-new-project.
--text — use plain-text numbered lists instead of TUI menus.
