Tom Boucher 2bc53baa03 fix(#2947): preserve preamble phase details when milestone section has none (#3084)
* test(#2947): milestone anchor must prefer heading with Phase details

Row 1 of the test matrix: the failing-first regression test. When the
phase-listing heading (## Phases) is NOT version-bearing but a later
version-bearing progress heading (### v9.0 phase progress) exists,
extractCurrentMilestone latches onto the progress heading and silently drops
the phases (phase_count: 0, exit 0). Five cases: the regression, the
version-bearing control (must keep working), the no-phase-details fallback,
the closed-vs-open preference, and an end-to-end roadmap.analyze check.

Reproduced locally against built lib + confirmed by maintainer triage (trek-e).
The one-word control (## Phases -> ## v9.0 Phases) restores phase_count: 2.

* fix(#2947): preserve preamble phase details when the milestone section has none

Root cause was one layer deeper than the issue title: the anchor selection
(selected = first non-closed version-bearing heading) is fine — the real
drop happens in the preamble strip. When the phase list lives under a
non-version-bearing ## Phases heading (the shipped greenfield template's own
shape) and the selected version-bearing heading is a LATER progress/notes
sub-heading with no ### Phase N: details of its own, the preamble strip
removed every phase-detail heading from the pre-milestone region (intended
to avoid duplication with a Phase Details section that does not exist here)
— silently dropping all phases (phase_count: 0, exit 0, empty stderr).

Fix: only strip preamble ### Phase N: headings when the selected milestone
section (currentSection) actually contains its own phase details. When it
does not, the preamble phases ARE this milestone's phases and must be
preserved. Falls back to today's behavior (strip) whenever the selected
section has phase details, so multi-milestone roadmaps with a dedicated
Phase Details section (#730) are unaffected.

Surgical: one conditional on the existing strip, no signature change, no
change to computeSectionEnd or the #730 Phase Details append. Blast radius
CRITICAL (84 upstream symbols) — the change is gated on currentSection's
content so every existing roadmap that currently resolves phases correctly
keeps doing so byte-identically.

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:

  1. Discuss — capture implementation decisions before anything is planned
  2. Plan — research, decompose, and verify the plan fits a fresh context window
  3. Execute — run plans in parallel waves; each executor starts with a clean 200k-token context
  4. Verify — walk through what was built; diagnose and fix before declaring done
  5. 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.
