Tom Boucher 09be501eb7 feat(#2128): phase-id anti-divergence guard — canonical token source + drift scanner + guards
Phase 4 of epic #2121 (ADR-2121 Decision 7), closing the recurrence loop that
produced #2111 / #2114 / #2104: no module outside src/phase-id.cts may
re-implement phase-ID parsing without failing CI.

- phase-id.cts: add PHASE_NUMBER_TOKEN_SOURCE — the canonical phase-number-token
  grammar (\d+[A-Z]?(?:\.\d+)*) for enumeration/scan call sites, the ANY-phase
  counterpart to phaseMarkdownRegexSource(n)'s known-number lookup. Extend-only
  (never touches normalizePhaseName; blast radius 79 fns / CRITICAL).
- scripts/lint-phase-id-drift.cjs: pure findPhaseIdRegexDrift(text) + scanRepo(root),
  wired to `npm run check:phase-id-drift`. Flags a literal re-derivation of the
  canonical token (both /\d/ and new-RegExp `\\d` escaping, plus the [A-Za-z] and
  [.-] near-variants) anywhere in src/** outside phase-id.cts, unless sanctioned
  with `// phase-id-owner: <reason>`. Narrow by design: bare \d+, digits-only
  captures, \w ids, status-message text and pipe-tables are not flagged.
- tests/phase-id-drift-guard.test.cjs: fail-first drift cases (AC1) + live
  scanRepo(ROOT) zero-drift (AC3) + identity guard — phase-id.cjs exports the
  complete locked surface and no consumer re-exports a divergent copy (AC2).

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:

  1. Discuss — capture implementation decisions before anything is planned
  2. Plan — research, decompose, and verify the plan fits a fresh context window
  3. Execute — run plans in parallel waves; each executor starts with a clean 200k-token context
  4. Verify — walk through what was built; diagnose and fix before declaring done
  5. 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

New here? Follow Your first project for a guided walkthrough from install to first shipped phase, or Onboarding an existing codebase for brownfield setup.

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.
