Lets your agent manage parallel workstreams: list, create, switch between, track progress on, and resume them.

Available today. Use it from your connected AI after setup.

Connect ahel once, and every AI you use reads what you have installed.

Manage parallel workstreams for concurrent milestone work.

Usage

/gsd-workstreams [subcommand] [args]

Subcommands

CommandDescription
listList all workstreams with status
create <name>Create a new workstream
status <name>Detailed status for one workstream
switch <name>Set active workstream
progressProgress summary across all workstreams
complete <name>Archive a completed workstream
resume <name>Resume work in a workstream

Step 1: Parse Subcommand

Parse the user's input to determine which workstream operation to perform. If no subcommand given, default to list.

Step 2: Execute Operation

list

Run: gsd-tools query workstream.list --raw --cwd "$CWD" Display the workstreams in a table format showing name, status, current phase, and progress.

create

Run: gsd-tools query workstream.create <name> --raw --cwd "$CWD" After creation, display the new workstream path and suggest next steps:

  • /gsd-new-milestone --ws <name> to set up the milestone

status

Run: gsd-tools query workstream.status <name> --raw --cwd "$CWD" Display detailed phase breakdown and state information.

switch

Run: gsd-tools query workstream.set <name> --raw --cwd "$CWD" Also set GSD_WORKSTREAM for the current session when the runtime supports it. If the runtime exposes a session identifier, GSD also stores the active workstream session-locally so concurrent sessions do not overwrite each other.

progress

Run: gsd-tools query workstream.progress --raw --cwd "$CWD" Display a progress overview across all workstreams.

complete

Run: gsd-tools query workstream.complete <name> --raw --cwd "$CWD" Archive the workstream to milestones/.

resume

Set the workstream as active and suggest /gsd-resume-work --ws <name>.

Step 3: Display Results

Format the JSON output from gsd-tools query into a human-readable display. Include the ${GSD_WS} flag in any routing suggestions.
