Tom Boucher 1e091d2bcb refactor(shell-projection): remove deprecated wrappers + finalize ADRs (Phase 4, #3468) (#3484)
* refactor(shell-projection): remove deprecated wrappers + finalize ADRs (Phase 4, #3468)

Final phase of the shell-command-projection expansion. Removes the legacy
core.cjs wrappers (`atomicWriteFileSync`, `safeReadFile`, `normalizeMd`)
now that every call site lives behind the seam, plus three Phase-3
stragglers (`graphify.cjs`, `template.cjs`, dead import in
`profile-pipeline.cjs`).

Documentation:
- ADR-0009: addendum noting Phase 1–4 scope expansion (subprocess +
  file I/O ownership), supersession of "does not execute" constraint,
  and resolution of open Q4.
- ADR-0010: status changed to Superseded by ADR-0009 with explanation.
- CONTEXT.md "Shell Command Projection Module" entry already current
  from Phase 1 — no edit needed.

Tests:
- `tests/atomic-write.test.cjs` deleted — wrapper it tested is gone;
  `atomic-write-coverage.test.cjs` (Phase 3) covers platformWriteSync.
- `tests/core.test.cjs::safeReadFile` + `::normalizeMd` describes
  deleted — wrappers are gone.
- `tests/concurrency-safety.test.cjs` normalizeMd suite (behavioral /
  perf / snapshot) repointed via 2-line shim at the seam's
  `normalizeContent` — full regression coverage preserved.

Test result: 9059/9041/18 — exact pre-Phase-4 baseline. All 18
failures are pre-existing path-with-spaces local-env issues.

Closes #3468

* refactor(shell-projection): migrate remaining raw fs.writeFileSync sites (Phase 4, #3468)

Sweeps the 7 raw fs.writeFileSync call sites that bypassed the seam through Phase 3,
folding them into platformWriteSync. Net -14 lines: deletes the local writeFileAtomicSync
helper in installer-migrations.cjs and collapses surface.cjs's manual tmp+rename into a
single seam call.

Sites migrated:
- drift.cjs (1) — frontmatter write
- learnings.cjs (1) — learning record JSON write
- install-profiles.cjs (1) — profile marker write (collapsed redundant mkdir)
- gsd2-import.cjs (1) — imported file write (collapsed redundant mkdir)
- surface.cjs (1) — surface state write (replaced manual tmp+rename block)
- installer-migrations.cjs (3) — journal init/finalize + rewrite-json action;
  deleted private writeFileAtomicSync helper and its three call sites

Two sites intentionally retained outside the seam:
- planning-workspace.cjs:241 — workspace lock (wx-flag atomic-create; previously excluded by Phase 3)
- installer-migrations.cjs:220 — install migration lock (fd write into wx-opened handle)
- writeInstallState (installer-migrations.cjs) — strict atomic contract for install state;
  the seam's fallback-to-direct-write on rename failure would silently violate the
  invariant that install state must never be left half-written. Inline tmp+rename with
  rethrow keeps the original guarantee.

Tests: 9059 / 9041 / 18 — exactly the pre-Phase-4 baseline; 18 failures are the
pre-existing path-with-spaces local-env issues, identical files as before.

* fix(installer-migrations): use strict atomic write for rollback install-state restore

The rollback path was restoring INSTALL_STATE via platformWriteSync, which falls
back to a direct write on rename failure and would silently violate the
half-written invariant that the install-state contract guarantees elsewhere.

Extracts the strict tmp+rename logic from writeInstallState into a shared
atomicWriteInstallState(configDir, content) helper and routes both
writeInstallState and rollbackAppliedMigrationResult through it. Preserves the
existing null-handling (rmSync when previousInstallStateBytes === null) and
existing failure-collection (failures.push on caught errors).

Byte-faithful restore: previousInstallStateBytes is written as-is (no JSON
parse round-trip), preserving the exact prior file contents on restore.

GET SHIT 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.

Solves context rot — the quality degradation that happens as your AI fills its context window.

npm version npm downloads Tests Discord X (Twitter) $GSD Token GitHub stars License


npx get-shit-done-cc@latest

Works on Mac, Windows, and Linux.


GSD Install


"If you know clearly what you want, this WILL build it for you. No bs."

"I've done SpecKit, OpenSpec and Taskmaster — this has produced the best results for me."

"By far the most powerful addition to my Claude Code. Nothing over-engineered. Literally just gets shit done."


Trusted by engineers at Amazon, Google, Shopify, and Webflow.


Important

Returning to GSD?

Run /gsd-map-codebase to re-index your codebase, then /gsd-new-project to rebuild GSD's planning context. Your code is fine — GSD just needs its context rebuilt. See the CHANGELOG for what's new.


Why I Built This

I'm a solo developer. I don't write code — Claude Code does.

Other spec-driven tools exist, but they're all built for 50-person engineering orgs — sprint ceremonies, story points, stakeholder syncs, Jira workflows. I'm not that. I'm a creative person trying to build great things consistently.

So I built GSD. The complexity is in the system, not in your workflow. Behind the scenes: context engineering, XML prompt formatting, subagent orchestration, state management. What you see: a few commands that just work.

The system gives Claude everything it needs to do the work and verify it. I trust the workflow. It just does a good job.

— TÂCHES


How It Works

The loop is six commands. Each one does exactly one thing.

1. Initialize

/gsd-new-project

Questions → research → requirements → roadmap. You approve it, then you're ready to build.

Already have code? Run /gsd-map-codebase first. It analyzes your stack, architecture, and conventions so /gsd-new-project asks the right questions.

2. Discuss

/gsd-discuss-phase 1

Your roadmap has a sentence per phase. That's not enough to build it the way you imagine it. Discuss captures your decisions before anything gets planned: layouts, API shapes, error handling, data structures — whatever gray areas exist for this specific phase.

The output feeds directly into research and planning. Skip it, get reasonable defaults. Use it, get your vision.

3. Plan

/gsd-plan-phase 1

Research → plan → verify, in a loop until the plans pass. Each plan is small enough to execute in a fresh context window.

4. Execute

/gsd-execute-phase 1

Plans run in parallel waves. Each executor gets a fresh 200k-token context. Each task gets its own atomic commit. Walk away, come back to completed work with a clean git history.

Your main context window stays at 30–40%. The work happens in the subagents.

5. Verify

/gsd-verify-work 1

Walk through what was built. Anything broken gets a diagnosed fix plan — ready for immediate re-execution. You don't debug manually; you just run execute again.

6. Repeat → Ship

/gsd-ship 1
/gsd-complete-milestone
/gsd-new-milestone

Loop discuss → plan → execute → verify → ship until the milestone is done. Then archive, tag, and start the next one fresh.


Getting Started

npx get-shit-done-cc@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.

claude --dangerously-skip-permissions

GSD is built for frictionless automation. Skip-permissions is how it's intended to run.

Install only the skills you need with --profile=core (six core-loop skills), --profile=standard (core + phase management), or the default full install. Profiles compose: --profile=core,audit. --minimal is an alias for --profile=core. See docs/USER-GUIDE.md for the full walkthrough, non-interactive install flags for all 15 runtimes, and permissions configuration. See ADR-0011 for the profile model and runtime surface control.


Commands

The main loop:

Command What it does
/gsd-new-project Questions → research → requirements → roadmap
/gsd-discuss-phase [N] Capture implementation decisions before planning
/gsd-plan-phase [N] Research + plan + verify
/gsd-execute-phase <N> Execute plans in parallel waves
/gsd-verify-work [N] Manual acceptance testing
/gsd-ship [N] Create PR from verified phase work
/gsd-progress --next Auto-detect and run the next step
/gsd-complete-milestone Archive milestone and tag release
/gsd-new-milestone Start next version
/gsd:surface Enable/disable skill clusters at runtime without reinstall

Why It Works

Three things most AI-coding setups get wrong:

1. Context bloat. As a session grows, quality degrades. GSD keeps your main context clean by doing the heavy work in fresh subagent contexts. Researchers, planners, and executors each start fresh with exactly what they need.

2. No shared memory. GSD maintains structured artifacts that survive session boundaries: PROJECT.md (vision), REQUIREMENTS.md (scope), ROADMAP.md (where you're going), STATE.md (current position and decisions), CONTEXT.md (per-phase implementation decisions). Every new session loads these and knows exactly where things stand.

3. No verification. Code that "runs" isn't code that "works." GSD's verify step walks you through what was built, diagnoses failures with dedicated debug agents, and generates fix plans before you declare a phase done.

See docs/ARCHITECTURE.md for how the multi-agent orchestration and context engineering work in detail.


Configuration

Settings live in .planning/config.json. Configure during /gsd-new-project or update with /gsd-settings.

Key dials:

Setting What it controls
mode interactive (confirm each step) or yolo (auto-approve)
Model profiles quality / balanced / budget — controls which model each agent uses
workflow.research / plan_check / verifier Toggle the quality agents that add tokens and time
parallelization.enabled Run independent plans simultaneously

For the full configuration reference — all settings, git branching strategies, per-runtime model overrides, workstream config inheritance, agent skills injection — see docs/CONFIGURATION.md.

Troubleshooting

Commands not showing up? Restart your runtime after install. GSD installs to ~/.claude/skills/gsd-*/ (Claude Code), ~/.codex/skills/gsd-*/ (Codex), or the equivalent for your runtime.

Something broken? Re-run the installer — it's idempotent:

npx get-shit-done-cc@latest

Containers or Docker? Set CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR before installing to avoid tilde-expansion issues:

CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR=/home/youruser/.claude npx get-shit-done-cc --global
