# Decimal Phase Calculation Calculate the next decimal phase number for urgent insertions. ## Using gsd-tools ```bash # Get next decimal phase after phase 6 node ".pi/gsd/bin/gsd-tools.cjs" phase next-decimal 6 ``` Output: ```json { "found": true, "base_phase": "06", "next": "06.1", "existing": [] } ``` With existing decimals: ```json { "found": true, "base_phase": "06", "next": "06.3", "existing": ["06.1", "06.2"] } ``` ## Extract Values ```bash DECIMAL_PHASE=$(node ".pi/gsd/bin/gsd-tools.cjs" phase next-decimal "${AFTER_PHASE}" --pick next) BASE_PHASE=$(node ".pi/gsd/bin/gsd-tools.cjs" phase next-decimal "${AFTER_PHASE}" --pick base_phase) ``` Or with --raw flag: ```bash DECIMAL_PHASE=$(node ".pi/gsd/bin/gsd-tools.cjs" phase next-decimal "${AFTER_PHASE}" --raw) # Returns just: 06.1 ``` ## Examples | Existing Phases | Next Phase | |-----------------|------------| | 06 only | 06.1 | | 06, 06.1 | 06.2 | | 06, 06.1, 06.2 | 06.3 | | 06, 06.1, 06.3 (gap) | 06.4 | ## Directory Naming Decimal phase directories use the full decimal number: ```bash SLUG=$(node ".pi/gsd/bin/gsd-tools.cjs" generate-slug "$DESCRIPTION" --raw) PHASE_DIR=".planning/phases/${DECIMAL_PHASE}-${SLUG}" mkdir -p "$PHASE_DIR" ``` Example: `.planning/phases/06.1-fix-critical-auth-bug/`
