Use when work spans sessions and does not belong to any specific phase, or when the user wants to create, list or resume a context thread. Keeps lightweight threads under .planning/threads/.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

<objective>
Create, list, or resume persistent context threads. Threads are lightweight
cross-session knowledge stores for work that spans multiple sessions but
doesn't belong to any specific phase.
</objective>

<process>

**Parse $ARGUMENTS to determine mode:**

<mode_list>
**If no arguments or $ARGUMENTS is empty:**

List all threads:
```bash
ls .planning/threads/*.md 2>/dev/null
```

For each thread, read the first few lines to show title and status:
```
## Active Threads

| Thread | Status | Last Updated |
|--------|--------|-------------|
| fix-deploy-key-auth | OPEN | 2026-03-15 |
| pasta-tcp-timeout | RESOLVED | 2026-03-12 |
| perf-investigation | IN PROGRESS | 2026-03-17 |
```

If no threads exist, show:
```
No threads found. Create one with: /gsd-thread <description>
```
</mode_list>

<mode_resume>
**If $ARGUMENTS matches an existing thread name (file exists):**

Resume the thread — load its context into the current session:
```bash
cat ".planning/threads/${THREAD_NAME}.md"
```

Display the thread content and ask what the user wants to work on next.
Update the thread's status to `IN PROGRESS` if it was `OPEN`.
</mode_resume>

<mode_create>

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add coco-research/coco/gsd-thread@sha256:fa9ded72a1564ab3

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260914.e75f220, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
