Tom Boucher 0bf778c352 fix(#3849): phase allocation counts numbers held by sibling git worktrees (#4042)
* test(#3849): phase allocation must skip numbers held by sibling worktrees (failing first)

* fix(#3849): phase allocation counts numbers held by sibling git worktrees

Both allocators (cmdPhaseAdd, cmdPhaseAddBatch) chose max+1 over numbers
gathered from ONE checkout — headers, bullets (add only), on-disk dirs.
Every sibling git worktree carries its own .planning/ on its own branch,
so a phase minted there was invisible and the same number was allocated
twice (the reported incident: two Phase 441s, one with six written
plans, surfaced a day late by human memory).

New shared horizon collectSiblingWorktreePhaseNums: one
git worktree list --porcelain, then per sibling — phase-dir names (the
cheap scan that would have caught the incident) and the WHOLE sibling
ROADMAP.md headers (a row can predate its dir; milestone-scoping would
be wrong — a number used under any milestone on another branch is
taken). Widen, never refuse: unreadable sibling / no .planning / not a
git repo / git unavailable each contribute nothing and allocation is
unchanged. Reuses isSentinelPhaseId and the allocators' own patterns.

Secondary (#1229 never reached batch): cmdPhaseAddBatch now also scans
roadmap bullets — a bullet-only 'Phase N' row was invisible to batch
allocation, exactly the condition #1229 was filed for.

Also fixes the two new tests' result-key access (output.phases, not
output.results).

* fix(#3849): review fold-ins — subprocess band, bounded test git, linked-worktree fixture

- execFileSync options now match the repo's git band (10s window,
  windowsHide, 4MiB maxBuffer) — a spurious 4s timeout silently reverted
  to the pre-fix collision.
- test git helper bounded (15s) per local/no-unbounded-spawn.
- new fixture: allocation FROM a linked worktree counts the main
  checkout — the incident's actual topology direction.
- fixture-setup rmSync carries the sanctioned lint-disable (setup, not
  teardown; cleanup() still owns directory removal).

* fix(#3849): exempt the sibling-worktree scan from the enumeration-drift guard

collectSiblingWorktreePhaseNums reads a SIBLING checkout's phases dir —
a different question from the cwd-scoped listMilestonePhaseDirs the
guard routes everything to (which cannot see another worktree's
.planning at all). Function-scoped, per ADR-3180 Decision 4(a): any
other re-derivation in phase.cts is still caught. The GREEN bench
caught the omission.

* chore(#3849): changeset fragment (pr number backfilled after PR creation)

* chore(#3849): backfill changeset PR number (4042)

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.

npm version npm downloads Tests Discord GitHub stars License


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

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.
