gsd:new-project
Initialize a new project with deep context gathering and PROJECT.md
Profile →npx skills add davepoon/buildwithclaude --skill new-project --agent claude-code
Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
<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> <context> **Flags:** - `--auto` — Automatic mode. After config questions, runs research → requirements → roadmap without further interaction. Expects idea document via @ reference. </context> <objective> Initialize a new project through unified flow: questioning → research (optional) → requirements → roadmap. **Creates:** - `.planning/PROJECT.md` — project context - `.planning/config.json` — workflow preferences - `.planning/research/` — domain research (optional) - `.planning/REQUIREMENTS.md` — scoped requirements - `.planning/ROADMAP.md` — phase structure - `.planning/STATE.md` — project memory **After this command:** Run `/gsd:plan-phase 1` to start execution. </objective> <execution_context> @${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/workflows/new-project.md @${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/references/questioning.md @${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/references/ui-brand.md @${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/templates/project.md @${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/templates/requirements.md </execution
What does the gsd:new-project skill do?
Initialize a new project with deep context gathering and PROJECT.md
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add davepoon/buildwithclaude --skill new-project --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From davepoon/buildwithclaude, a repository with 3,251 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
