* feat(#1432): capability source resolver + ledger (ADR-1244 Phase 3) ADR-1244 D3 + D4 — additive, testable-in-isolation modules (the /gsd:capability install command + consent gate are Phase 4). NEW modules only; not yet wired into bin/install.js. - src/capability-source.cts → resolveCapabilitySource(spec, opts): one seam, one adapter per source kind — local (fs copy), git (execGit clone+checkout, https/ssh/ git transports only), npm (execNpm pack --ignore-scripts + tar, NEVER npm install), tarball (https download + sha512 integrity-before-extraction + tar), registry (stub). SECURITY: install never executes capability code (copy/extract only, --ignore-scripts); integrity verified before staging; symlink members rejected at interior, source-root, AND tar-member (verbose-listing) layers; tar-slip member paths rejected pre-extraction; npm specs with shell metacharacters (incl %) rejected (execNpm uses a Windows shell); git ext::/file:// transports + leading-dash/metachar refs rejected; atomic staging (.staging→rename, restore-on-failure); full Phase 1/2 validator suite + engines.gsd pre-check on the fetched manifest. Test seam _setCapabilitySourceHttpGet. - src/capability-ledger.cts → per-runtime .gsd-capabilities.json install manifest: readLedger/writeLedger (atomic via platformWriteSync)/recordInstall (idempotent, prototype-pollution-guarded)/removeEntry/reconcile (orphan report, hardened against hostile/non-string/'..' files[] members — never throws, never oracles outside runtimeDir). - 48 new tests (34 source incl. the full security matrix, 14 ledger). Two Codex adversarial rounds; all 12 findings fixed + regression-tested. - .gitignore + eslint.config.mjs: built capability-source/ledger.cjs git+eslint-ignored (ADR-457 #551 migration coverage); CONTEXT glossary + INVENTORY rows + manifest regen.

GSD Core documentation
Documentation is organised into four quadrants: tutorials help you learn by doing, how-to guides solve specific tasks, reference states authoritative facts, and explanation explores concepts and design decisions.
Language versions: English · Português (pt-BR) · 日本語 · 简体中文
Tutorials
- Your first project — install to first shipped phase, one guaranteed path
- Onboarding an existing codebase — bring GSD Core to a brownfield repo
How-to guides
- Install on your runtime — runtime-specific install steps for all 16 supported runtimes
- Install a minimal GSD and add skills later — install only the core skills, then grow the surface with profiles and
/gsd:surface - Attach a plugin-provided skill to a GSD agent — use the
global:plugin:skillentry form to load Claude Code plugin skills into agent prompts - Discuss a phase — capture implementation decisions before planning begins
- Resolve edge-coverage findings — turn the spec phase's surfaced domain-boundary edges into covered, dismissed, or backstopped spec decisions
- Resolve prohibition findings — turn the spec phase's surfaced must-NOT constraints into resolved, dismissed, or deferred spec decisions
- Plan a phase — run research, decompose work, and verify plan quality
- Execute a phase — run plans in parallel waves with fresh-context subagents
- Verify and ship — walk through completed work, diagnose failures, and create the PR
- Run phases autonomously — use autonomous mode for unattended phase execution
- Handle quick and fast tasks — use
/gsd-quickand/gsd-fastfor ad-hoc work outside the phase loop - Configure model profiles — switch between quality, balanced, and budget model tiers
- Set up cross-AI review — configure a second AI to review code produced by the primary agent
- Work in parallel with workstreams — run independent lines of work simultaneously using workstreams
- Isolate work with workspaces — use workspaces to sandbox experimental or risky changes
- Debug a failed execution — diagnose and recover from broken or incomplete phase execution
- Spike and sketch — use
/gsd-spikeand/gsd-sketchfor exploratory work before committing to a plan - Design a UI phase — use the UI phase loop for frontend and visual work
- Develop a Capability for GSD 1.5+ — add feature Capabilities, hook fragments, and registry entries
- Turn a capability off (and keep it off) — disable a capability via the surface, or gate individual hooks off without removing the capability
- Drive GSD from a tracker issue — start a phase from a GitHub, Linear, or Jira issue
- Migrate from GSD 2 — upgrade an existing GSD 2 project to GSD Core
- Update GSD — re-run the installer to pick up the latest release
- Clean up get-shit-done-cc — remove leftover old-package artifacts that cause a spurious
⬆ /gsd:updateindicator after migrating to@opengsd/gsd-core - Fix the worktree base-mismatch (exit 42) error — resolve the branch-divergence condition that halts parallel phase execution
- Recover and troubleshoot — fix common problems, rebuild context, and uninstall

Explanation
- Context engineering — how context rot forms and how GSD Core prevents it
- The phase loop — design rationale for the Discuss → Plan → Execute → Verify → Ship cycle
- Multi-agent orchestration — how subagents are spawned, scoped, and coordinated
- Security model — trust boundaries, permissions, and safe automation
- Architecture — system architecture, agent model, and data flow
- Discuss modes — assumptions mode vs interview mode for
/gsd-discuss-phase - Context monitoring — context window monitoring hook architecture
- Issue-driven orchestration — recipe for driving GSD from a tracker issue using existing primitives
