* fix(#816): mirror install command-prefix handling in _syncGsdDir applySurface() via _syncGsdDir handled command artifacts differently from a fresh install. For flat command dirs (cursor/augment/opencode/kilo) install's _copyStaged adds kind.prefix (gsd-<stem>.md) and _removeGsdEntries prunes prefix-scoped, but _syncGsdDir copied staged files verbatim (unprefixed) and pruned by exact name. So every /gsd:surface toggle wrote wrong filenames, orphaned the installed gsd-*.md, and deleted user-authored command files. _syncGsdDir's commands/agents branch now mirrors install: - flat command dirs get the gsd- prefix on copy; namespaced dirs (commands/gsd) and agents keep staged names, using install's namespacedByDir rule - prune is prefix-scoped so user files in shared flat dirs are preserved; namespaced commands/gsd stays membership-pruned so superseded commands are still removed on profile shrink The naming rule is intentionally re-implemented (not via require('bin/install.js') to avoid its module-load banner side-effect); a strict parity test asserts applySurface and installRuntimeArtifacts produce identical command filenames for opencode/kilo/cursor/augment/gemini, guarding against drift.

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.
