Was South meant to be a human- well it is impossible for North to have 6 spades what were you expecting. Just bid 3NT. I believe the 3D in that sequence just means 4 diamonds and 5 hearts

Why would 3♠ be natural? South has shown a red 2-suiter so showing even 5♠ is futile. 3♠ has to be a cue-bid, since it's GIB this is A♠. I'm not sure which suit this cue-bid should be in support for.

 

Also, not sure who is Gib, you really should state this to be clear.

i was N.. gib descriptive of 3♠ bid was 5♠. robot south can have 5♥4♦3♠1♣ for 2♦ + 3♦ bids, so could have 3♠. that was how logic i was.

i was N.. gib descriptive of 3♠ bid was 5♠.

And the description of 4♠ showed 1 or less spades, so why would you pass?

i pass as i not look at description :( however why should i need to look at all description for gib bids? if i bid 4nt after 4♠ what is that, rkcb? if i was with a true partner, i cannot ask what his bid say so i try to do same with gib. gib say that my 3♠ bid was ok and then not bid 3nt reply, who is wrong? me or gib?

I also don't its incredibly sensible but South could be 3541.

Actually, 3♠ doesn't show 5 spades; it shows: 2-5 ♣, 4-5 ♦, 2 ♥, 2-5 ♠, 15-17 HCP

 

So it seems GIB is treating it as 4 card diamond support, which is why it is then trying to get to 6♦. It seems it doesn't have a way of finding a 5-3 spade fit in this sequence.

Because if you don't look at GIB's bid, then you are frequently going to end up in a bad contract. Even if you do look at the GIB descriptions you still may end up in a silly contract, but at least you did the best you could do B-)

agree. i do not play with money. if i did i would look at every bid, my bids and gib bids

Lacking agreement, your 3♠ should be a red-suit slam-try. which would work well if you swap your ♠s and ♦s.
