* test(#3886): a timed-out git commit reports commit_timeout, not commit_failed (failing first) * fix(#3886): git commit timeout reported as commit_timeout; 30s band; stale-lock surfaced cmdCommit's git commit invocation did not distinguish a spawnSync timeout from a real non-zero exit (#2608 fixed this for the staging loop only): a slow pre-commit hook crossing the 10s cap was SIGTERM'd mid-hook and reported as reason commit_failed with whatever partial stderr git had flushed (in the reporter's case an incidental CRLF warning), while the kill left a stale .git/index.lock blocking the next attempt. All three commit sites now check isSpawnTimeout before the nothing-to-commit/ordinary-failure branches: cmdCommit reports reason commit_timeout + timed_out:true and names the stale lock's path (surfaced, not auto-deleted — deleting a lock a live git holds is destructive; the caller recovers deliberately); the subrepo counterparts do the same within their per-repo result / rollback error. The commit calls also move to the 30s band the push call already uses — husky+lint-staged alone idles ~4s on Windows before any task runs. * fix(#3886): review fold-ins — git-path lock resolution, shared band constant, executor contract row, precedence pin - The stale-lock path is resolved via git rev-parse --git-path index.lock, never a literal .git/index.lock join (#3588 row 8's class: a linked worktree's .git is a FILE, so the literal path cannot exist there while the real lock — under <gitdir>/worktrees/<name>/ — blocks the next commit; this repo leans on linked worktrees). - COMMIT_TIMEOUT_MS hoisted; all three sites and their messages build from it (the subrepo variant also regains the stdout fallback the primary site had). - agents/gsd-executor.md's commit-result contract gains the commit_timeout row with the OPPOSITE retry advice from staging_timeout (remove the stale lock, then retry once) — an executor matching the doc previously had no handling for the new reason. - Precedence pin: a timeout whose partial output contains 'nothing to commit' must still read as a timeout (branch-reorder mutant). Emitted-Drift-Ack-Growth: gsd-executor.md — #3886: +commit_timeout row to the commit-result contract with the retry guidance OPPOSITE staging_timeout's (remove the stale lock, then retry once); the executor previously had no handling for the new reason. * chore(#3886): changeset fragment (pr number backfilled after PR creation) * chore(#3886): backfill changeset PR number (4046) --------- Co-authored-by: sim <sim@local>
GSD Core
Git. Ship. Done.

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

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.
