Adds the GTD (Getting Things Done) methodology by David Allen as a new semantic anchor, as proposed in the community issue.

Changes

  • docs/anchors/gtd.adoc — English anchor covering the 5-step workflow (Capture, Clarify, Organize, Reflect, Engage), Two-Minute Rule, Projects List, context tagging, and trusted-system concept; categorised under development-workflow
  • docs/anchors/gtd.de.adoc — German translation
  • website/public/data/anchors.json — GTD entry inserted alphabetically with roles, tags, proponents, and related anchors (para-method, todotxt-flavoured-markdown, definition-of-done)
  • skill/semantic-anchor-translator/references/catalog.md — GTD entry added to the Development Workflow section

Notes

The anchor title is "GTD — Getting Things Done" with all three candidate terms from the issue (GTD, GTD by David Allen, Getting Things Done) covered via the Also known as field, making the anchor discoverable regardless of which variant an LLM consumer uses.

Looks good! GTD is a strong anchor — all quality criteria met. A few notes:

Category: development-workflow is debatable — GTD is a personal productivity system, not a dev workflow. For consistency with P.A.R.A. (which is under documentation), we could either:

I'd suggest keeping as-is and batch-moving GTD + P.A.R.A. when the category is created.

Tier 3: Correct — well-established, deeply rich.

Evaluation: Tested "GTD by David Allen" against Claude — perfect activation of all 5 steps, Two-Minute Rule, Weekly Review, context lists, "mind like water."

Ready to merge.

New category: knowledge-management
- P.A.R.A. Method (moved from documentation)
- todo.txt-flavoured Markdown (moved from development-workflow)

GTD will be added here after LLM-Coding#377 merges.

Translations: "Knowledge Management" (EN), "Wissensmanagement" (DE)

Closes LLM-Coding#346

Now that #379 is merged, the knowledge-management category exists. Could you update the category from development-workflow to knowledge-management before merging? GTD fits perfectly alongside P.A.R.A. and todo.txt there.

The PR description says the anchor is discoverable via the Also known as field for the term "Getting Things Done", but the aliases listed here don’t currently include that exact string. Add "Getting Things Done" (optionally "Getting Things Done (GTD)") to the Also known as line to match the stated intent.

Same as the English anchor: the PR description calls out discoverability via the Also known as field for "Getting Things Done", but the German Auch bekannt als list doesn’t include that alias. Consider adding "Getting Things Done" (optionally with "(GTD)") to align with the canonical title/aliases.

Typographic quotes are inconsistent here (opening German quote „ with closing ASCII "). Use consistent quote pairs (e.g., „…“ or "…") for the quoted term to avoid a visible typo in rendered docs.

Grammar: "mehr als eine Handlungsschritt" is incorrect in German (case/gender). Adjust phrasing (e.g., "mehr als einen Handlungsschritt" or plural "mehr als einen Handlungsschritt / mehrere Handlungsschritte").

For consistency with the anchor docs and the PR notes about discoverability, consider including the exact alias "Getting Things Done" in the "Also known as" list here (currently only the longer "Getting Things Done Methodology" variant is present).

Typographic quotes are inconsistent in the book title (opening „ with closing "). Use consistent quote pairs (e.g., „…“ or "…") so the citation renders cleanly.
