docs: Add comprehensive GSD agent selection guide#588
Merged
Conversation
Add detailed guide to help choose the right GSD agent for different tasks: - Quick decision tree for agent selection - Detailed profiles for each agent (debugger, researcher, planner, executor, quick task) - Red flags indicating wrong agent choice - Common patterns and anti-patterns - Real examples from recent work (module system fix) - Cheat sheet for quick reference This addresses difficulty in choosing appropriate agents for different phases of work. Provides clear criteria and examples to maximize efficiency and prevent context waste. Location: .planning/AGENT-SELECTION-GUIDE.md
Add CRITICAL section requiring agents to always confirm agent choice with user before spawning GSD agents. Includes: - Pre-work checkpoint template (explain choice, alternatives) - Phase transition checkpoint template (show progress, recommend next) - Key principles (always pause, explain, offer alternatives) - Reference to .planning/AGENT-SELECTION-GUIDE.md This ensures agents never auto-spawn without user confirmation and always explain their reasoning for agent recommendations. Addresses: 'make it so you always remind me when moving between gsd steps'
