Migration from v1

If you have projects with .planning directories from the original Get Shit Done (v1), you can migrate them to GSD-2’s .gsd format.

Running the Migration

# From within the project directory
/gsd migrate

# Or specify a path
/gsd migrate ~/projects/my-old-project

What Gets Migrated

The migration tool:

• Parses your old PROJECT.md, ROADMAP.md, REQUIREMENTS.md, phase directories, plans, summaries, and research
• Maps phases → slices, plans → tasks, milestones → milestones
• Preserves completion state ([x] phases stay done, summaries carry over)
• Consolidates research files into the new structure
• Shows a preview before writing anything
• Optionally runs an agent-driven review of the output for quality assurance

Supported Formats

The migration handles various v1 format variations:

• Milestone-sectioned roadmaps with <details> blocks
• Bold phase entries
• Bullet-format requirements
• Decimal phase numbering
• Duplicate phase numbers across milestones

Requirements

Migration works best with a ROADMAP.md file for milestone structure. Without one, milestones are inferred from the phases/ directory.

Post-Migration

After migrating, verify the output with:

/gsd doctor

This checks .gsd/ integrity and flags any structural issues.
