#4457 reports init.progress and init.new-milestone reporting project_exists:false (and a workstream-scoped project_path) for a root-shared PROJECT.md after a normal migration. Direct read of current src/init.cts shows this is already fixed on next by PR #4543 (#4455's self-discovered follow-up): withProjectRoot, buildInitCompletenessFields, cmdInitProgress's project_exists, and cmdInitNewMilestone's project_exists/project_path all already resolve PROJECT.md via the root-aware planningDir(cwd, null). PR #4543 added parametrized regression coverage for ingest-docs/resume/progress/ new-project (plus a dedicated milestone-op test), but its own comment explicitly deferred new-milestone's coverage to "#4456's own new-milestone.md workstream-forwarding work" (PR #4543). PR #4545 (#4456) never added it -- its test additions only exercised the *workflow's* --ws argv forwarding through a stubbed gsd_run, never cmdInitNewMilestone's real output. That gap is exactly what #4457's own acceptance ask requests ("Add a migration-to-init regression test with a root PROJECT.md and no workstream-local copy"). Folds 'new-milestone' into the existing SUBCOMMANDS loop in tests/init-manager.test.cjs (it has no manager-style readiness precondition, and exposes both project_exists and project_path, so it fits the loop's existing assertion shape without a dedicated test).

GSD Core
Git. Ship. Done.
English · Português · 简体中文 · 日本語 · 한국어
A light-weight meta-prompting, context engineering, and spec-driven development system for Claude Code, OpenCode, Antigravity CLI, Kimi CLI, Kilo, Codex, Copilot, Cursor, Windsurf, and more.
What is GSD Core
GSD Core is a context-engineering and spec-driven development framework that drives AI coding agents (Claude Code, Codex, Antigravity CLI, Kimi CLI, Copilot, Cursor, and more) through a disciplined phase loop. It solves context rot — the quality degradation that accumulates as an AI fills its context window — by running all heavy research, planning, and execution work in fresh-context subagents while keeping your main session lean.
How it works
Each milestone repeats the same five-step loop, one phase at a time:
- Discuss — capture implementation decisions before anything is planned
- Plan — research, decompose, and verify the plan fits a fresh context window
- Execute — run plans in parallel waves; each executor starts with a clean 200k-token context
- Verify — walk through what was built; diagnose and fix before declaring done
- Ship — create the PR, archive the phase, repeat for the next one
Quickstart
npx @opengsd/gsd-core@latest
The installer prompts for your runtime (Claude Code, OpenCode, Antigravity CLI, Kimi CLI, Kilo, Codex, Copilot, Cursor, Windsurf, and more) and whether to install globally or locally. The installer is required for cross-runtime compatibility — do not copy files from agents/ or commands/ directly.
On another runtime or without Node.js? See Install on your runtime.
Once installed, start a new project or onboard an existing repo:
/gsd-new-project # greenfield project
/gsd-onboard # existing codebase

Why it works
Most AI-coding setups fail at scale because context bloat silently degrades output quality, there is no shared memory between sessions, and nothing verifies that code actually works. GSD Core solves all three: heavy work runs in fresh subagents, structured artifacts like STATE.md and CONTEXT.md survive session boundaries, and the verify step walks through what was built and generates fix plans before a phase is declared done. See docs/explanation/context-engineering.md for the full reasoning.
