Documentation

README

Excerpt

STOP -- DO NOT READ THIS FILE. You are already reading it. This prompt was injected into your context by Claude Code's command system. Using the Read tool on this file wastes tokens. Begin executing Step 0 immediately.

CJS-only (graphify): graphify subcommands are not registered on gsd-tools query. Use the gsd_run launcher shim (defined in each bash block below) or invoke the binary directly: node <runtime-home>/gsd-core/bin/gsd-tools.cjs graphify … where <runtime-home> is your runtime's config directory (e.g. ~/.claude, ~/.hermes, ~/.cursor). See docs/CLI-TOOLS.md for details. Other tooling may still use gsd-tools query where a handler exists.

Before ANY tool calls, display this banner:

GSD > GRAPHIFY

Then proceed to Step 1.
