# Workstream Flag (`--ws`)
## Overview
The `--ws <name>` flag scopes GSD operations to a specific workstream, enabling
parallel milestone work by multiple Claude Code instances on the same codebase.
## Resolution Priority
1. `--ws <name>` flag (explicit, highest priority)
2. `GSD_WORKSTREAM` environment variable (per-instance)
3. `.planning/active-workstream` file (shared, last-writer-wins)
4. `null` - flat mode (no workstreams)
## Routing Propagation
All workflow routing commands include `${GSD_WS}` which:
- Expands to `--ws <name>` when a workstream is active
- Expands to empty string in flat mode (backward compatible)
This ensures workstream scope chains automatically through the workflow:
`new-milestone → discuss-phase → plan-phase → execute-phase → transition`

```bash
# All gsd-tools commands accept --ws
node gsd-tools.cjs state json --ws feature-a
node gsd-tools.cjs find-phase 3 --ws feature-b
# Workstream CRUD
