GSD Orchestratorv1.0.0

A product manager writes a specification document for a new feature. The orchestrator reads the spec, creates a milestone in GSD, and automatically executes all phases (discuss, research, plan, execute, summarize, complete) to produce working code. This accelerates the development lifecycle and reduces manual overhead.

Integrate GSD headless commands into a CI/CD pipeline to automatically run project tasks on code commits. If a milestone finishes successfully (exit 0), the pipeline proceeds to deployment; if blocked (exit 10), it pauses for human intervention. This ensures development workflows are tightly coupled with DevOps processes.

A project manager uses the `gsd headless query` command to instantly get a JSON snapshot of project state, progress, and costs. This information can feed into dashboards or reporting tools for real-time visibility into development health without requiring direct access to the GSD CLI.

When a unit execution exits with code 10 (blocked), the orchestrator can automatically notify a human supervisor via Slack, email, or ticketing system, providing the session ID and context for resolution. This ensures blockers are addressed promptly even in asynchronous or distributed team environments.

Offer a service that automates software development subtasks (like code generation, testing, or documentation) by wrapping GSD orchestration. Clients provide specifications, and the service runs headless workflows, delivering results and cost reports.

Create a plugin or integration for popular CI/CD tools (e.g., Jenkins, GitLab CI) that adds GSD headless steps. Users can include GSD commands in their pipelines, paying per execution or through a platform marketplace.

A digital agency uses GSD Orchestrator to manage client projects from spec to delivery. They automate milestone creation and execution, then review and polish the output, offering faster turnaround and transparent cost tracking to clients.
