* fix(#4244): repoint TEMP/TMP alongside TMPDIR and fix the sweepProtectSet fixed-point walk Repo-wide sweep (ahead of adding lint rules for these exact bug classes) found both incident patterns still live and unfixed on `next`: - scripts/run-tests.cjs's sweepProtectSet walk stopped on `cur !== runTempRoot && cur.length > 1` — a POSIX-only sentinel. win32 dirname('D:\') is a fixed point (length 3, never satisfies `> 1`... wait, it does satisfy length>1), so a selected file living outside runTempRoot (the common case) spins the walk forever on Windows. Extracted a pure, exported computeSweepProtectSet helper that terminates on dirname(cur) === cur instead, with in-process RuleTester-style coverage for both win32 and posix paths. - tests/run-tests-temp-root.test.cjs's own #4020 regression test set only TMPDIR on its runNode(...) child env. Node's os.tmpdir() never reads TMPDIR on Windows (only TEMP, then TMP), so the redirect silently no-oped there — masked because Windows CI died in the dirname-walk hang above before ever reaching this test. - tests/config-schema.property.test.cjs's fallow config-set test had the same TMPDIR-only pattern, direct process.env assignment this time, restored in its own finally block. Origin: #4220 and its shared root cause #4020. * feat(#4244): require-full-tmpdir-triad and no-unbounded-dirname-walk ESLint rules Two custom local ESLint rules catch the #4220 / #4020 Windows CI hang bug class at author time, joining the ADR-1703 DEFECT.WINDOWS-TEST-PORTABILITY catalog. Neither eslint-plugin-unicorn nor eslint-plugin-n has a rule for either shape. - local/require-full-tmpdir-triad: flags a TMPDIR environment override (direct process.env.TMPDIR assignment, or a TMPDIR property in a spawn-like call's env: object literal) not accompanied by TEMP and TMP in the same scope. Node's os.tmpdir() never reads TMPDIR on Windows. Registered on tests/**/*.cjs, matching the require-userprofile-with-home precedent. - local/no-unbounded-dirname-walk: flags a while/do-while loop reassigning from dirname() with no fixed-point termination guard (dirname(cur) !== cur, or path.parse(cur).root). path.dirname() is a no-op at the platform root, but the value differs by platform (win32 'D:\' is length 3, posix '/' is length 1), so a POSIX-shaped length/equality bound never fires on Windows. Registered on BOTH tests/**/*.cjs and scripts/**/*.cjs — the real #4020 bug lived in scripts/run-tests.cjs, not tests/. Both rules join the zero-escape-hatch discipline already established for this catalog (no bespoke comment marker; PROTECTED_RULES in tests/portability-rule-disable-ban.test.cjs independently bans eslint-disable of either). ADR-1703 and its two companion contributing docs get an amendment documenting the mechanism, code examples, and the repo-wide sweep (three live instances found and fixed in the prior commit; no others found). CI test-scope selection updated so an edit to either rule or to scripts/run-tests.cjs re-runs the right suites. * fix(#4244): no-unbounded-dirname-walk must analyze a single-condition loop test too checkWhile bailed out early unless node.test was a LogicalExpression, so a single-condition loop -- while (cur !== root) { cur = dirname(cur); } -- was silently skipped and never reported. That is the EXACT minimal shape of the original #4020/#4220 bug, and it is literally the shape used by this rule's own shipped RuleTester fixtures (the "equality-only bound" invalid cases), which were failing (0 errors reported, 1 expected) until this fix -- confirmed by running RuleTester directly against both fixtures, not just via a passing test-runner exit code. The conjunct-collection helper already handled a non-LogicalExpression test correctly (it pushes a single node as the sole conjunct); only the early-return gate needed to stop requiring a compound && / || test. Verified: RuleTester run directly against both previously-broken fixtures plus two new sanity cases (a guarded single-condition loop stays valid; an unrelated single-condition loop stays silent), and a fresh `npx eslint .` across the whole repo remains clean (no other single-condition dirname-walk shape exists in the tree). * fix(#4244): require-full-tmpdir-triad must recognize a destructured child_process call isSpawnLikeCallee only recognized a MemberExpression callee (child_process.spawnSync(...)) or a bare identifier in ENV_LOCAL_HELPER_NAMES (runNode). A destructured import called bare -- const { spawnSync } = require('child_process'); spawnSync(...) -- has an Identifier callee named "spawnSync", which matched neither branch, so the whole env-literal check was skipped. gsd-test caught this: both "invalid: child_process.spawnSync with TMPDIR-only env" cases in tests/require-full-tmpdir-triad.rule.test.cjs were failing (0 errors reported, 1 expected). Widened the bare-identifier branch to also match any of the known ENV_CHILD_PROCESS_METHODS names, matched by name only -- the same lightweight convention this repo's other eslint-rules/*.cjs use (e.g. no-hardcoded-tmp.cjs's isFsMethodCall), not full import data-flow tracing. Verified: RuleTester run directly against all 11 cases in tests/require-full-tmpdir-triad.rule.test.cjs (not just the two that were failing), all pass; a fresh npx eslint . and npm run lint:ci across the whole repo remain clean. * fix(#4244): correct a stale escape-hatch reference in a test comment The comment on the "length comparison against another expression's length" case referenced a "// allow-dirname-walk marker" that doesn't exist -- the rule has zero comment-based escape hatches by design (ADR-1703), and an earlier draft's marker mechanism was removed before this branch's first commit. Spec-axis review caught the stale reference. No behavior change; comment-only. * chore(#4244): backfill changeset PR number (pr:0 -> pr:4246) --------- 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

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.
