* fix(#3132): realign spec/plan/ui-phase workflow prose from retired covered/backstop-as-status to resolved+verification The edge-probe resolution model splits status (resolved|dismissed|unresolved) from verification (explicit|backstop). The workflow prose in three files still used the pre-re-cut covered/backstop-as-status vocabulary that validateResolution rejects. Swept all three prose surfaces: - spec-phase.md: Step 5.5 resolution options, --auto mode + log line, comment, Step 6 row list - plan-phase.md: lift rule (L778/L780), comments (L564/L706), quality gate (L826-827) - ui-phase.md: resolution loop (L391), --auto mode (L405-409), write-back format (L415) Added regression test in edge-probe-spec-phase-contract.test.cjs asserting the retired vocab is absent and resolved+verification is used instead. * chore(#3132): add changeset + emitted-drift ack for workflow vocab realignment * fix(#3132): update planner contract tests for resolved+verification vocabulary RR-02 and RR-03 tests asserted the old covered/backstop-as-status vocab. Updated to match the realigned prose (resolved edge → must_haves). * fix(#3132): fix specless-probe-fallback test assertion + merge duplicate ack Test assertion was too strict (expected auto-resolved + verification:explicit on same line). Split into two independent assertions. Merged plan-phase.md ack into existing #2658 fragment to resolve duplicate-path rule violation. * fix(#3132): use bare filenames in ack keys (size map keys are bare, not full paths) * fix(#3132): amend existing acks instead of duplicating — remove plan-phase from #2658, spec-phase from #3132, append #3132 reason to #0000 and #2650 * chore(#3132): backfill changeset PR number 3138 --------- 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.
