Getting Started
New to Silver Bullet or AI-assisted development? Start here to go from zero to your first enforced workflow session.
- What AI-driven development is (and isn't)
- Prerequisites: host coding agent, GSD, and any helper plugins required by the selected workflow
- Installing Silver Bullet
- Running your first session
- Choosing Interactive vs Autonomous mode
Core Concepts
Understand the building blocks: APO routing, skills, hooks, GSD lifecycle ownership, cross-plugin orchestration, and why enforcement matters.
- Skills and how they're invoked
- Hooks and automated enforcement
- SB vs GSD vs Superpowers ownership model
- 8 core quality gates plus conditional gates
- Agent teams and parallelism
Software Engineering Workflow
The composed application delivery path, from intent routing and GSD planning through release.
- Project initialization with GSD
- Discuss → Quality Gates → Plan → Execute
- Verify, Code Review, and acceptance loop
- Finalization, CI/CD, and deployment
- Ship and Release steps
DevOps & IaC Workflow
The composed infrastructure workflow with Incident Fast Path, Blast Radius assessment, and Environment Promotion.
- Incident Fast Path for emergencies
- Blast Radius assessment (LOW → CRITICAL)
- IaC-adapted quality gates
- Environment promotion: dev → staging → prod
- DevOps plugin ecosystem integration
Command Reference
Every key GSD command, Silver Bullet command, config option, workflow, and file location — all in one place.
- All /gsd:* commands with descriptions
- Silver Bullet skills catalog
- .silver-bullet.json config options
- Recommended project file structure
- Session log and planning file formats
Orchestration Workflows
The named workflows that power Silver Bullet's dynamic routing — from idea clarification and specs to releases.
- /silver:clarify — fuzzy-intent intake
- /silver:feature — full feature dev cycle
- /silver:bugfix — triage-first bug investigation
- /silver:ui — UI/UX with accessibility gate
- /silver:devops — IaC with blast radius
- /silver:spec, /silver:ingest, /silver:validate — spec pipeline
- /silver:release — milestone publish workflow
Troubleshooting
Common issues, CI failures, hook errors, and how to diagnose problems with the enforcement system.
- Hook failures and permission errors
- CI gate and skill not found issues
- Recovery from failed sessions
- Configuration and enforcement bypass
