* fix(#4196): npm-audit gate blocks only NEW advisories, not pre-existing ones The #3588 gate failed on ANY advisory in the production tree, regardless of whether the PR/push actually introduced it. Because npm's advisory database updates continuously and independently of repo state, a commit could pass this gate at merge time and fail it minutes later on the identical tree -- proven on PR #4188/dce40eeb6, which passed on all 3 OSes at 15:57-16:27 and failed the same assertion at 16:19-16:30 on the unchanged commit, purely because GHSA-jqff-g426-hqxp was disclosed for fast-uri in the interim. scripts/npm-audit-baseline.cjs diffs the head tree's vulnerable-package set against a resolved baseline (the PR's target branch, or the prior commit on a direct push) and blocks only newly-introduced advisories. When no baseline can be resolved, falls back to the original zero-tolerance behavior -- fail-closed, never silently weaker. * fix(#4196): pin the npm-audit baseline instead of using a drift-prone ref Two orthogonal reviews found the same class of bug this repo already fixed once for a different gate (see GSD_EMITTED_BASE's own incident comment in test.yml): origin/<branch> is live under fetch-depth: 0 and can advance mid-run, so resolveBaselineRef()'s fallback to origin/${GITHUB_BASE_REF} could silently disagree with the tree ci-rebase-check.cjs actually merged. Wire AUDIT_BASELINE_REF from the workflow to github.event.pull_request.base.sha / github.event.before, the same pinned values GSD_EMITTED_BASE already relies on. Also: HEAD~1 assumed exactly one commit per push, which this repo's allow_rebase_merge:true setting can violate (a rebase-merged PR lands as several discrete commits in one push) -- github.event.before is git's own record of the correct pre-push state, not an assumed offset. HEAD~1 remains as a documented last-resort fallback for out-of-band invocations (e.g. gsd-test) that don't set any of the above, alongside a new local-branch fallback for gsd-test's local `next` (not origin/next) sandbox shape. --------- Co-authored-by: sim <sim@local>
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
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.
