Check each plan has `must_haves` in frontmatter -2. Verify truths are user-observable (not implementation details) -3. Verify artifacts support the truths -4. Verify key_links connect artifacts to functionality - -**Red flags:** -- Missing `must_haves` entirely -- Truths are implementation-focused ("bcrypt installed") not user-observable ("passwords are secure") -- Artifacts don't map to truths -- Key links missing for critical wiring - -**Example issue:** -```yaml -issue: - dimension: verification_derivation - severity: warning - description: "Plan 02 must_haves.truths are implementation-focused" - plan: "02" - problematic_truths: - - "JWT library installed" - - "Prisma schema updated" - fix_hint: "Reframe as user-observable: 'User can log in', 'Session persists'" -``` - -#### Dimension 7: Context Compliance (if CONTEXT.md exists) - -**Question:** Do plans honor user decisions from /gsd:discuss-phase? - -**Only check if CONTEXT.md was provided in the verification context.** - -**Process:** -1. Parse CONTEXT.md sections: Decisions, Claude's Discretion, Deferred Ideas -2. For each locked Decision, find implementing task(s) -3. Verify no tasks implement Deferred Ideas (scope creep) -4. Verify Discretion areas are handled (planner's choice is valid) - -**Red flags:** -- Locked decision has no implementing task -- Task contradicts a locked decision (e.g., user said "cards layout", plan says "table layout") -- Task implements something from Deferred Ideas -- Plan ignores user's stated preference - -**Example — contradiction:** -```yaml -issue: - dimension: context_compliance - severity: blocker - description: "Plan contradicts locked decision: user specified 'card layout' but Task 2 implements 'table layout'" - plan: "01" - task: 2 - user_decision: "Layout: Cards (from Decisions section)" - plan_action: "Create DataTable component with rows..." - fix_hint: "Change Task 2 to implement card-based layout per user decision" -``` - -**Example — scope creep:** -```yaml -issue: - dimension: context_compliance - severity: blocker - description: "Plan includes deferred idea: 'search functionality' was explicitly deferred" - plan: "02" - task: 1 - deferred_idea: "Search/filtering (Deferred Ideas section)" - fix_hint: "Remove search task - belongs in future phase per user decision" -``` - -#### Dimension 8: Nyquist Compliance - -Skip if: `workflow.nyquist_validation` is explicitly set to `false` in config.json (absent key = enabled), phase has no RESEARCH.md, or RESEARCH.md has no "Validation Architecture" section.

Same revision loop as other dimensions (max 3 loops). - -#### Dimension 9: Cross-Plan Data Contracts - -**Question:** When plans share data pipelines, are their transformations compatible? - -**Process:** -1. Identify data entities in multiple plans' `key_links` or `` elements -2. For each shared data path, check if one plan's transformation conflicts with another's: - - Plan A strips/sanitizes data that Plan B needs in original form - - Plan A's output format doesn't match Plan B's expected input - - Two plans consume the same stream with incompatible assumptions -3. Check for a preservation mechanism (raw buffer, copy-before-transform) - -**Red flags:** -- "strip"/"clean"/"sanitize" in one plan + "parse"/"extract" original format in another -- Streaming consumer modifies data that finalization consumer needs intact -- Two plans transform same entity without shared raw source - -**Severity:** WARNING for potential conflicts. BLOCKER if incompatible transforms on same data entity with no preservation mechanism. - -### Verification Process - -#### Step 1: Load Context - -Load phase operation context: -```bash -INIT=$(node "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/gsd/bin/gsd-tools.cjs" init phase-op "${PHASE_ARG}") -if [[ "$INIT" == @file:* ]]; then INIT=$(cat "${INIT#@file:}"); fi -``` - -Extract from init JSON: `phase_dir`, `phase_number`, `has_plans`, `plan_count`. - -Orchestrator provides CONTEXT.md content in the verification prompt. If provided, parse for locked decisions, discretion areas, deferred ideas. - -```bash -ls "$phase_dir"/*-PLAN.md 2>/dev/null -# Read research for Nyquist validation data -cat "$phase_dir"/*-RESEARCH.md 2>/dev/null -node "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/gsd/bin/gsd-tools.cjs" roadmap get-phase "$phase_number" -ls "$phase_dir"/*-BRIEF.md 2>/dev/null -``` - -**Extract:** Phase goal, requirements (decompose goal), locked decisions, deferred ideas. - -#### Step 2: Load All Plans - -Use gsd-tools to validate plan structure: - -```bash -for plan in "$PHASE_DIR"/*-PLAN.md; do - echo "=== $plan ===" - PLAN_STRUCTURE=$(node "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/gsd/bin/gsd-tools.cjs" verify plan-structure "$plan") - echo "$PLAN_STRUCTURE" -done -``` - -Parse JSON result: `{ valid, errors, warnings, task_count, tasks: [{name, hasFiles, hasAction, hasVerify, hasDone}], frontmatter_fields }` - -Map errors/warnings to verification dimensions: -- Missing frontmatter field → `task_completeness` or `must_haves_derivation` -- Task missing elements → `task_completeness` -- Wave/depends_on inconsistency → `dependency_correctness` -- Checkpoint/autonomous mismatch → `task_completeness` - -#### Step 3: Parse must_haves - -Extract must_haves from each plan using gsd-tools: - -```bash -MUST_HAVES=$(node "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/gsd/bin/gsd-tools.cjs" frontmatter get "$PLAN_PATH" --field must_haves) -``` - -Returns JSON: `{ truths: [...], artifacts: [...], key_links: [...] }` - -**Expected structure:** - -```yaml -must_haves: - truths: - - "User can log in with email/password" - - "Invalid credentials return 401" - artifacts: - - path: "src/app/api/auth/login/route.ts" - provides: "Login endpoint" - min_lines: 30 - key_links: - - from: "src/components/LoginForm.tsx" - to: "/api/auth/login" - via: "fetch in onSubmit" -``` - -Aggregate across plans for full picture of what phase delivers. - -#### Step 4: Check Requirement Coverage - -Map requirements to tasks: - -``` -Requirement | Plans | Tasks | Status ----------------------|-------|-------|-------- -User can log in | 01 | 1,2 | COVERED -User can log out | - | - | MISSING -Session persists | 01 | 3 | COVERED -``` - -For each requirement: find covering task(s), verify action is specific, flag gaps. - -**Exhaustive cross-check:** Also read PROJECT.md requirements (not just phase goal). Verify no PROJECT.md requirement relevant to this phase is silently dropped. A requirement is "relevant" if the ROADMAP.md explicitly maps it to this phase or if the phase goal directly implies it — do NOT flag requirements that belong to other phases or future work. Any unmapped relevant requirement is an automatic blocker — list it explicitly in issues. - -#### Step 5: Validate Task Structure - -Use gsd-tools plan-structure verification (already run in Step 2): - -```bash -PLAN_STRUCTURE=$(node "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/gsd/bin/gsd-tools.cjs" verify plan-structure "$PLAN_PATH") -``` - -The `tasks` array in the result shows each task's completeness: -- `hasFiles` — files element present -- `hasAction` — action element present -- `hasVerify` — verify element present -- `hasDone` — done element present - -**Check:** valid task type (auto, checkpoint:*, tdd), auto tasks have files/action/verify/done, action is specific, verify is runnable, done is measurable. - -**For manual validation of specificity** (gsd-tools checks structure, not content quality): -```bash -grep -B5 "" "$PHASE_DIR"/*-PLAN.md | grep -v "" -``` - -#### Step 6: Verify Dependency Graph - -```bash -for plan in "$PHASE_DIR"/*-PLAN.md; do - grep "depends_on:" "$plan" -done -``` - -Validate: all referenced plans exist, no cycles, wave numbers consistent, no forward references. If A -> B -> C -> A, report cycle. - -#### Step 7: Check Key Links - -For each key_link in must_haves: find source artifact task, check if action mentions the connection, flag missing wiring. - -``` -key_link: Chat.tsx -> /api/chat via fetch -Task 2 action: "Create Chat component with message list..." -Missing: No mention of fetch/API call → Issue: Key link not planned -``` - -#### Step 8: Assess Scope - -```bash -grep -c " 5 tasks per plan - -**warning** - Should fix, execution may work -- Scope 4 tasks (borderline) -- Implementation-focused truths -- Minor wiring missing - -**info** - Suggestions for improvement -- Could split for better parallelization -- Could improve verification specificity - -Return all issues as a structured `issues:` YAML list (see dimension examples for format). - -### Structured Returns - -#### VERIFICATION PASSED - -```markdown -## VERIFICATION PASSED - -**Phase:** {phase-name} -**Plans verified:** {N} -**Status:** All checks passed - -### Coverage Summary - -| Requirement | Plans | Status | -|-------------|-------|--------| -| {req-1} | 01 | Covered | -| {req-2} | 01,02 | Covered | - -### Plan Summary - -| Plan | Tasks | Files | Wave | Status | -|------|-------|-------|------|--------| -| 01 | 3 | 5 | 1 | Valid | -| 02 | 2 | 4 | 2 | Valid | - -Plans verified.

This happens naturally — Gemini understands the intent. + +### 2. Grep/Glob Patterns + +Claude Code has dedicated `Grep` and `Glob` tools. In Gemini, use `run_shell_command`: + +```bash +# Instead of Grep tool: +rg "pattern" --type ts + +# Instead of Glob tool: +find . -name "*.ts" -path "*/components/*" +``` + +### 3. Subagent Spawning + +Claude Code uses the `Agent` tool to spawn subagents. In Gemini: + +```bash +# Spawn a Gemini subagent +gemini --prompt "$(cat <<'EOF' +# Task: [task from agent definition] +... +EOF +)" +``` + +### 4. MCP Server Compatibility + +Kinderpowers MCP servers (kp-github, kp-sequential-thinking) work with any MCP-compatible client, including Gemini CLI. No adaptation needed — MCP is runtime-agnostic. + +## Skill Compatibility + +Skills are `SKILL.md` files with instructions. They're runtime-agnostic by design — the instructions describe *what to do*, not *which tools to call*. Gemini can follow skill instructions directly. + +**High compatibility** (work as-is): +- metathinking, brainstorming, strategic-planning, requirements +- retrospective, adversarial-review, architecture +- All research and analysis skills + +**Needs adaptation** (reference Claude-specific tools): +- verification-before-completion (references Read, Bash by name) +- test-driven-development (references Edit, Bash by name) +- executing-plans (references Edit, Write by name) + +**Claude-only** (depend on Claude Code infrastructure): +- using-kinderpowers (Claude plugin system) +- find-skills (skills.sh marketplace, Claude plugin) + +## Sequential Thinking MCP + +The `kp-sequential-thinking` MCP server works identically with Gemini CLI — it's MCP-native.
