Tom Boucher 2e056488d9 fix(#4067): derive advance-plan phase-complete from disk, not the plan counter (#4292)
* test(#4067): pin advance-plan phase-complete guard matrix (RED)

Five-case matrix: decline on unsummarized plans (regression), fire on
fully-summarized phase, fail-open on unresolvable phase dir, idempotent
decline, normal advance untouched.

* fix(#4067): derive advance-plan phase-complete from disk, not the plan counter

The phase-complete branch of state.advance-plan was decided purely by
STATE.md's scalar plan counter (currentPlan >= totalPlans). A stale
counter carried into a newly planned phase, or a counter raced by
wave-parallel executors, let 'Phase complete — ready for verification'
land while sibling plans were still executing.

cmdStateAdvancePlan now re-decides that branch from disk before the
write: every plan in the Current Position phase's directory must have a
SUMMARY.md (scanPhasePlans single owner, the same source
state.update-progress recalculates from). Outstanding plans decline the
entire write byte-identically (idempotent, concurrency-safe, counter
stays display-only); an unavailable disk answer fails open to the
counter-derived decision.

* fix(#4067): review round 1 — route phase-dir lookup through listMilestonePhaseDirs

#3185 drift guard: no hand-rolled phases-dir readdirSync. Windowed
(current-milestone) lookup first so an archived milestone's stale dir
cannot shadow the live one; unscoped retry when the window cannot
answer. Also restore the transform's undefined-data error semantics and
extract scanOutstanding.

* chore(#4067): add changeset fragment

* chore(#4067): backfill PR number in changeset fragment

GSD Core

Git. Ship. Done.

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

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.
