* test(#4682): add failing-first coverage for stale verification routing * fix(#4682): route stale verification to the verifier regeneration path The stale routing entry sent users to /gsd-verify-work — but verify-work never rewrites VERIFICATION.md (its only write is the human_needed canonicalization), so following the advice re-ran UAT, reached the same stale check, and looped. init's projector and execute-phase's generic next_command presentation both mirror this entry, so the dead end appeared on three surfaces. The stale entry now routes to execute-phase, and execute-phase's all-plans-complete resume tree gains a stale arm (as a steps/ part, keeping the spine under its frozen ADR-857 ceiling) mirroring the missing route: skip cross_ai_delegation/execute_waves/checkpoint_handling, continue at aggregate_results, and let verify_phase_goal re-dispatch the gsd-verifier — regenerating VERIFICATION.md and its digest, marked phase or not. The non-stale fall-through. Staleness detection, the digest format (#4623), every other routing entry, and the #3684 resume arms are untouched. Emitted-Drift-Ack-Growth: verify-work.md — stale stop rewritten to dispatch the verifier and re-check (#4682) Emitted-Drift-Ack-Growth: execute-phase.md — VERIFY_STATUS == stale resume arm added to condition 3 (#4682) * test(#4682): register the stale-reverification part and align projected commands The new steps/ part must be registered in the inventory manifest and the per-runtime golden install trees (regen:derived); the projected stale next_command is /gsd-execute-phase <phase> (formatGsdSlash prefixes the runtime surface), the human_needed bare-report probe keeps routing to verify-work (unchanged semantics), and init-manager's recommended action follows the new command. * test(#4682): prefix the remaining stale routing assertions with the runtime surface Nine stale next_command assertions and the human_needed bare-report probe still carried the unprefixed or flipped forms from the earlier line-number edit; all now assert the shipped /gsd-execute-phase <phase> projection, with the human_needed probe reverted to its unchanged verify-work routing. * test(#4682): align the last stale projection assertions with the execute-phase route * docs(#4682): backfill changeset PR number * test(#4682): refresh the compact-content baseline after the rebase The rebase onto the #4670 squash brought verify-work.md's bounded reconciliation text into this branch; the committed compact-content baseline now reflects the post-rebase split sizes. Local --check is clean; the previous bench drift (+243) was the baseline, not the diff. * fix(#4682): carry the response_language directive in the stale-reverification part The new steps/ part is its own coverage unit for lint-response-language-coverage; it takes the shared canonical directive line like its sibling execute-phase parts. --------- 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
New here? Follow Your first project for a guided walkthrough from install to first shipped phase, or Onboarding an existing codebase for brownfield setup.

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.
