Tom Boucher 396f44bd0b feat(architecture): [EoS/opencode] Migrate OpenCode onto the Embeddable Orchestration System (ADR-1239, #2087)
Route OpenCode (and its Kilo sibling) through the public Host-Integration Interface and
land two Context7-verified capability upgrades. Byte-identical install output for all 16
runtimes (golden parity asserted).

Through the interface (AC2):
- OpenCode/Kilo's bespoke commands+skills+plugin install (the inline
  `else if (isOpencode || isKilo)` block) moves into the engine
  (installOpencodeFamilyCommands/Artifacts in src/install-engine.cts), dispatched by
  installRuntimeArtifacts when the descriptor declares hostBehaviors.combinedFamilyInstall.
  opencode/kilo now flow CLI -> _runtimeAdapter -> installRuntimeArtifacts like the skills
  runtimes. _isSkillsRuntime no longer excludes them; the bespoke block + dead
  copyFlattenedCommands are removed.
- Every hardcoded `runtime === 'opencode'`/`isOpencode` branch is folded into
  descriptor-driven runtime.hostBehaviors. ZERO `runtime === 'opencode'`/`'kilo'`
  string-equality remain in bin/install.js / install-engine.cts / runtime-artifact-conversion.cts.

Upgrades (AC4):
- Background dispatch: OpenCode shipped experimental background subagents in v1.15 and
  made them default-on in v1.17 -> dispatch.background/backgroundDispatch flip to true;
  shouldFlattenDispatch(opencode) now returns false (behavioral change; type: Changed).
- Expanded event surface: the OpenCode plugin subscribes permission.asked/replied +
  session.error.

Tests: opencode-imperative-reference (adapter/profile, shouldFlattenDispatch pin,
fail-closed negotiate, hostBehaviors, AC2 source-guard) + extended plugin surface test.
Docs: capability matrix v1.15/v1.17 citations. Changeset (Changed). gitignore .memdb//.memtrace/.

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.
