* feat(#2928): port CONTEXT.md predicate fact-store into the src seam Productionizes the ADR-1671 Option-E reference example as a real module: src/context-predicates.cts (parser + selector + index builder) compiled to gsd-core/bin/lib/, plus scripts/gen-context-index.cjs following the repo's --check/--write drift-guard idiom and wired into lint:generated-sync. Parser behavior is deliberately prototype-equivalent in this commit so the next commit's regression matrix binds to the real defects rather than to a missing module. Two locked design deviations from the prototype: - duplicates carry a count, not line numbers - the committed index carries no line field at all, resolving ADR-1671 open question 4: an artifact without line numbers cannot drift on a line shift, so promoting --check to a CI gate does not make it routinely red Also reconciles the one remaining duplicate predicate ID (RULESET.WORKFLOW_MARKDOWN.FENCES was declared twice; the non-MD040 wording is removed) so the gate can land fail-closed on duplicates. Refs #1671 * test(#2928): failing-first matrix for the predicate fact-store Adds the regression matrix from the phase test plan: parser declaration forms, fence and comment regions, ID/value grammar boundaries at limit-1/limit/limit+1, CRLF fidelity, duplicate detection, the drift-guard CLI, the selector query surface, and four document-shaped fast-check properties. Seven rows are RED for behavioral reasons against the ported parser: indented-bare, star-list, plus-list and numbered-list declaration forms are dropped; a tilde fence and a four-backtick fence containing a shorter fence are not skipped; and a multi-line HTML comment is parsed as live. Eleven selector rows are RED because the query surface is not wired yet. Negative fixtures come from real repo documents that predate the grammar (CONTEXT.md, CONTRIBUTING.md's fenced env-assignment examples) per the fixture-provenance rule, and the property generators are document-shaped rather than seeded from our own serializer. Refs #1671 * fix(#2928): consume the shared fence scanner, relocate the index, wire the selector Drives the failing-first matrix green. Parser: replaces the ported naive triple-backtick toggle with the shared markdown-sectionizer fence engine. scanFencedBlocks and FencedBlockRecord gain an export keyword — the only change to that module, which has 71 upstream dependents — because it already returns line-indexed spans, which is exactly what a line-reporting parser needs. It also already documents itself as the second copy of the fence state machine pending consolidation; adding a third copy here would have been the generative-fix divergence this repo warns about. A parity suite now pins predicate fence-skipping against that scanner across eight fence shapes. HTML-comment skipping stays local because the sectionizer has no comment scanner. Declaration forms widen to indented-bare, star, plus and numbered list items. Index location: docs/CONTEXT-INDEX.json, not a module under bin/lib. The remote matrix run caught the original choice — a committed .cjs there ships ~120KB of CONTEXT.md prose into a runtime module, and two content guards fired truthfully on it (a leaked .claude install path, and four hardcoded package-name literals). Neither guard was allowlisted; the artifact moved instead, mirroring docs/INVENTORY-MANIFEST.json. Nothing at runtime needs to require it — it is a drift-detection artifact, so the selector parses CONTEXT.md live and is always current. Generator: adds a frozen REASON enum and --check --json so the gate's outcome is asserted structurally instead of by matching prose, and --context-path/--index-path so tests drive the real CLI against a temp tree with no filesystem monkeypatching. Selector: gsd_run query context-predicates with --class/--prefix/--contains, structured output carrying a matched count, own-property guards, and no project-root resolution. Registering it exposed that the query dispatch table and the usage string had drifted: a new parity test found 20 routed commands missing from the usage list, all added here rather than deferred. Refs #1671 * test(#2928): lock the newly-public scanFencedBlocks contract Exporting scanFencedBlocks made it public API for the first time, so it needs its own contract test independent of the consumer that motivated the export. Memtrace's co-change analysis flagged the gap: this suite changes together with markdown-sectionizer.cts 8 times in 90 days and was absent from the diff. Covers the documented rules: 0-based indices, -1 for an unterminated fence, the same-char/>=length/no-trailing-text closer rule, a shorter fence inside a longer one staying content, CommonMark 4.5 backtick-in-info-string, and <=3-space indent tolerance. Refs #1671 * fix(#2928): address both isolated review passes Two independent reviewers (correctness axis and security axis, neither the author) found seven findings. All are fixed here with regression tests; none deferred. BLOCKER — comment-blind fence scanning caused silent, permanent predicate loss. The HTML-comment scan and the fence scan ran as two independent passes, and the fence scanner is comment-blind, so a fence delimiter inside an HTML comment with no later close read as an unterminated fence and skipped every remaining line to EOF. Worse, the drift-guard could not catch it: it diffs against a baseline produced by the same corrupted parse. The two constructs now interleave in a single pass so each suppresses the other's boundary detection while active, covered in both directions. The parity suite still binds this scanner to markdown-sectionizer's for comment-free documents, so the two cannot diverge unnoticed. BLOCKER — the selector was not consumed anywhere, leaving the phase's acceptance criterion unmet. Now wired into the pre-work predicate-citation step in contributor-standards, which is the repo's actual brief-assembly path; no code-level brief assembler exists to wire into. MAJOR — ReDoS with an unauthenticated CI-hang exploit. The predicate-id regex nested a dot-containing character class inside a dot-prefixed repeat, so N consecutive dots had exponentially many partitions: 40 dots took 565ms and growth was exponential. CI runs this parser over a pull request's own CONTEXT.md, so any contributor could have hung a shared runner with one line. Replaced with linear per-segment validation. Doubled-dot ids are now rejected; the real document contains none. MAJOR — the duplicate-id gate had only ever been proven on synthetic fixtures. A test now re-inserts the exact line this branch removed and asserts the real generator names it. MAJOR — --check together with --write silently let write win, turning the gate into a writer; a missing path value resolved to the cwd and leaked an EISDIR stack trace. Both are now clean usage errors. MINOR — the hoisted skip-list was exported as a live mutable Set; replaced with a read-only predicate. MINOR — flag-shaped selector values were unmatchable; the inline --flag=value form now provides the escape hatch.

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.
