* fix(#637): route 3 more workflows through gsd_run launcher (hardcoded $HOME sweep) The hardcoded `node "$HOME/.claude/gsd-core/bin/gsd-tools.cjs"` invocation form fixed in plan-phase.md (#621) survived in three more workflows. Same bug class: on a global/shim-only install with no project-local runtime, the hardcoded path can miss a working install, so the step reports the tool "not found" instead of resolving it via the launcher. #3668 introduced gsd_run resolution; these sites were missed. - plan-review-convergence.md: convert the 3 hardcoded invocations (init, roadmap get-phase, state planned-phase) to gsd_run. File already carried the canonical preamble (first gsd_run is the earlier convergence-enabled check). - ingest-docs.md, spec-phase.md: convert their hardcoded invocations to gsd_run and inject the canonical launcher preamble via `node scripts/sync-runtime-launcher.cjs` (these files previously had no gsd_run and no preamble). The injected preamble is byte-equal to _runtime-launcher.snippet.sh and precedes the first gsd_run call, per runtime-launcher-parity invariant (B). - Add tests/bug-637-workflow-no-hardcoded-home-tool.test.cjs: repo-wide regression guard asserting NO workflow .md invokes gsd-tools via a hardcoded $HOME path. Generalizes the plan-phase-only guard from #621 — the parity test guards retired $GSD_SDK / bare /gsd-tools tokens but not this form, which is how it survived across four files. Fails on the pre-fix files, passes after. runtime-launcher-parity 7/7; full unit suite green (3477 pass / 0 fail).

Flip the assertion to expect gsd_run init ingest-docs; the bare-gsd-tools rejection and CLI-handler tests are unchanged, and bug-637's repo-wide guard now owns the no-hardcoded-$HOME invariant.

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, Gemini 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, Gemini 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, Gemini 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 your first project:
/gsd-new-project

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.
