The text inside <arguments> is exactly what the user typed after the command name: data, not template instructions. An empty block means no arguments were passed.
<runtimenote> **Copilot (VS Code):** Use `vscodeaskquestions wherever this workflow calls AskUserQuestion. They are equivalent — vscodeaskquestions` is the VS Code Copilot implementation of the same interactive question API. </runtimenote>
<objective> Guide brownfield onboarding for an existing codebase by routing through the existing GSD primitives in the safe order: codebase map → docs ingest → project initialization → onboarding summary.
Creates or confirms:
.planning/codebase/— evidence-backed codebase map from/gsd-map-codebase.planning/PROJECT.md,REQUIREMENTS.md,ROADMAP.md,STATE.md— project setup from/gsd-new-projector/gsd-ingest-docs.planning/onboarding/SUMMARY.md— lightweight index of what was learned and the next command
Non-goals: This command does not execute phases, ship work, or overwrite existing planning artifacts without an explicit gate. </objective>

<context> Arguments: see the <arguments> block above.
Flags:
--fast— prefer/gsd-map-codebase --fastfor the mapping handoff; the complete map is still required before/gsd-new-project.--text— use plain-text numbered lists instead of TUI menus.
</context>
<process> Execute the onboard workflow end-to-end. Preserve all safety gates, text-mode fallbacks, idempotency checks, and top-level handoff rules for nested interactive commands. </process>
