gsd-reapply-patches

<codex_skill_adapter>

A. Skill Invocation

• This skill is invoked by mentioning $gsd-reapply-patches.
• Treat all user text after $gsd-reapply-patches as {{GSD_ARGS}}.
• If no arguments are present, treat {{GSD_ARGS}} as empty.

B. AskUserQuestion → request_user_input Mapping

GSD workflows use AskUserQuestion (Claude Code syntax). Translate to Codex request_user_input:

Parameter mapping:

• header → header
• question → question
• Options formatted as "Label" — description → {label: "Label", description: "description"}
• Generate id from header: lowercase, replace spaces with underscores

Batched calls:

• AskUserQuestion([q1, q2]) → single request_user_input with multiple entries in questions[]

Multi-select workaround:

• Codex has no multiSelect. Use sequential single-selects, or present a numbered freeform list asking the user to enter comma-separated numbers.

Execute mode fallback:

• When request_user_input is rejected (Execute mode), present a plain-text numbered list and pick a reasonable default.

C. Task() → spawn_agent Mapping

GSD workflows use Task(...) (Claude Code syntax). Translate to Codex collaboration tools:

Direct mapping:

• Task(subagent_type="X", prompt="Y") → spawn_agent(agent_type="X", message="Y")
• Task(model="...") → omit (Codex uses per-role config, not inline model selection)
• fork_context: false by default — GSD agents load their own context via <files_to_read> blocks

Parallel fan-out:

• Spawn multiple agents → collect agent IDs → wait(ids) for all to complete

Result parsing:

• Look for structured markers in agent output: CHECKPOINT, PLAN COMPLETE, SUMMARY, etc.
• close_agent(id) after collecting results from each agent </codex_skill_adapter>

<purpose> After a GSD update wipes and reinstalls files, this command merges user's previously saved local modifications back into the new version. Uses intelligent comparison to handle cases where the upstream file also changed. </purpose> <process>

Step 1: Detect backed-up patches

Check for local patches directory:

# Global install — detect runtime config directory
if [ -d "$HOME/.config/opencode/gsd-local-patches" ]; then
  PATCHES_DIR="$HOME/.config/opencode/gsd-local-patches"
elif [ -d "$HOME/.opencode/gsd-local-patches" ]; then
  PATCHES_DIR="$HOME/.opencode/gsd-local-patches"
elif [ -d "$HOME/.gemini/gsd-local-patches" ]; then
  PATCHES_DIR="$HOME/.gemini/gsd-local-patches"
else
  PATCHES_DIR="/Users/richardhightower/clients/spillwave/src/agent-brain/.codex/gsd-local-patches"
fi
# Local install fallback — check all runtime directories
if [ ! -d "$PATCHES_DIR" ]; then
  for dir in .config/opencode .opencode .gemini .claude; do
    if [ -d "./$dir/gsd-local-patches" ]; then
      PATCHES_DIR="./$dir/gsd-local-patches"
      break
    fi
  done
fi

Read backup-meta.json from the patches directory.

If no patches found:

No local patches found. Nothing to reapply.

Local patches are automatically saved when you run $gsd-update
after modifying any GSD workflow, command, or agent files.

Exit.

Step 2: Show patch summary

## Local Patches to Reapply

**Backed up from:** v{from_version}
**Current version:** {read VERSION file}
**Files modified:** {count}

| # | File | Status |
|---|------|--------|
| 1 | {file_path} | Pending |
| 2 | {file_path} | Pending |

Step 3: Merge each file

For each file in backup-meta.json:

1. Read the backed-up version (user's modified copy from gsd-local-patches/)

2. Read the newly installed version (current file after update)

3. Compare and merge:

   • If the new file is identical to the backed-up file: skip (modification was incorporated upstream)
   • If the new file differs: identify the user's modifications and apply them to the new version

   Merge strategy:

   • Read both versions fully
   • Identify sections the user added or modified (look for additions, not just differences from path replacement)
   • Apply user's additions/modifications to the new version
   • If a section the user modified was also changed upstream: flag as conflict, show both versions, ask user which to keep

4. Write merged result to the installed location

5. Report status:

   • Merged — user modifications applied cleanly
   • Skipped — modification already in upstream
   • Conflict — user chose resolution

Step 4: Update manifest

After reapplying, regenerate the file manifest so future updates correctly detect these as user modifications:

# The manifest will be regenerated on next $gsd-update
# For now, just note which files were modified

Step 5: Cleanup option

Ask user:

• "Keep patch backups for reference?" → preserve gsd-local-patches/
• "Clean up patch backups?" → remove gsd-local-patches/ directory

Step 6: Report

## Patches Reapplied

| # | File | Status |
|---|------|--------|
| 1 | {file_path} | ✓ Merged |
| 2 | {file_path} | ○ Skipped (already upstream) |
| 3 | {file_path} | ⚠ Conflict resolved |

{count} file(s) updated. Your local modifications are active again.
