* feat(#1682): OpenCode session.idle + opencode-subset dialect + Claude parity — Slice 1b/c - Plugin (.opencode/plugins/gsd-core.js): handle session.idle (↔ Claude Stop lifecycle point; no-op sentinel — state already persisted to .planning/). Completes the compaction/idle pair (#1914 shipped compaction). - Declare hookEvents: 'opencode-subset' in the OpenCode descriptor — the reserved dialect now has a real consumer (no longer zero-consumer). - host-integration.cts: add HOOK_EVENT_SURFACES + hookEventSurfaceFor() — the pure consumer that resolves a dialect to its host-fireable event surface. opencode-subset = session/tool/file subset with NO workflow-phase events (engine owns phase sequencing; ADR-1239 §OpenCode binding). - Tests: hookEventSurfaceFor unit tests (claude/gemini/opencode-subset/null); plugin session.idle no-throw; compaction breadcrumb; opencode-subset surface parity vs the plugin's handlers (Claude parity). * fix(#1682): don't declare hookEvents on opencode (hooksSurface:none invariant) The repo invariant couples runtime.hookEvents to the managed settings.json hook surface: hooksSurface:'none' runtimes (opencode — plugin owns hooks) must NOT declare hookEvents. Declaring 'opencode-subset' there violated 3 capability- registry invariants + 2 install-plan golden masters + opencode golden parity. The opencode-subset dialect is still IMPLEMENTED — just not via the legacy descriptor field: hookEventSurfaceFor() (host-integration.cts) is its consumer, and the OpenCode plugin consumes the subset events at runtime (session.idle added here; compaction shipped in #1914). Declaring it on the descriptor would require weakening the hooksSurface:none ⇔ no-hookEvents invariant (flagged for decision). * fix(#1682): refresh opencode golden parity for plugins/gsd-core.js (session.idle) * docs(changeset): OpenCode session.idle + opencode-subset dialect (#1682) * docs(changeset): backfill PR #1930
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, Gemini 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, Gemini 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, Gemini 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 your first project:
/gsd-new-project

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.
