Tom Boucher 3aaed8f5d7 test: replace deny-list parity tests with polarity-inverted live-registry (#3049) (#3284)
* test: reproduce Windows SDK not found after fresh npx install (#3211)

Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* test: red — docs-parity live-registry tests fail against stub helper (#3049)

Adds:
- tests/helpers/live-command-registry.cjs (stub: returns empty Set)
- tests/docs-parity-live-registry.test.cjs (new polarity-inverted test)
- tests/fixtures/live-command-registry/ (fixture .md files)

All parity and helper-contract tests fail because the stub returns an
empty registry. This is the intentional RED state before GREEN
implementation.

* feat(test-helpers): live-command-registry derives canonical tokens from commands/gsd/*.md (#3049)

Implements GREEN phase:
- tests/helpers/live-command-registry.cjs: walks commands/gsd/*.md, parses
  YAML frontmatter name: field, emits /gsd-slug, /gsd:slug, $gsd-slug per
  command. Memoized per process. Fails loud on malformed frontmatter (k302).
- tests/docs-parity-live-registry.test.cjs: updated with INTERNAL_COMPONENT_SLUGS
  exemption for path-component and placeholder tokens (gsd-build from GitHub
  org URLs, gsd-workspaces from ~/gsd-workspaces/ paths, gsd-tools from
  bin/gsd-tools.cjs paths, etc.)

Docs drift caught and fixed:
- ns-* rename: /gsd-ns-workflow→/gsd-workflow etc. in COMMANDS, FEATURES,
  INVENTORY, USER-GUIDE (6 commands across 4 English files)
- /gsd-scan → /gsd-map-codebase --fast (FEATURES, INVENTORY, USER-GUIDE)
- /gsd-note → /gsd-capture (FEATURES, issue-driven-orchestration, ja-JP, ko-KR)
- /gsd-do → /gsd-fast (FEATURES, ja-JP, ko-KR)
- /gsd-from-gsd2 → /gsd-import --from-gsd2 (CLI-TOOLS, FEATURES, INVENTORY)
- /gsd-verify-phase → /gsd-validate-phase (STATE-MD-LIFECYCLE)
- /gsd-settings-integrations → /gsd-settings or /gsd-config --integrations (CLI-TOOLS)
- /gsd-dev-preferences removed from profile-user artifact lists (AGENTS, COMMANDS,
  FEATURES in English, ja-JP, ko-KR)
- /gsd-select-framework removed from gsd-framework-selector spawner list
  (AGENTS, INVENTORY)

All 28 new tests pass.

* refactor(test): replace deny-list parity tests with polarity-inverted live-registry approach (#3049)

- Delete bug-3010-reapply-patches-references.test.cjs (hardcoded deny-list)
- Delete bug-3029-3034-stale-command-routes.test.cjs (hardcoded deny-list)
- Delete bug-3042-3044-research-flag-and-stale-refs.test.cjs (deny-list + frontmatter checks)
- Add tests/skill-frontmatter-contract.test.cjs (frontmatter structural checks extracted from deleted file)
- Update tests/commands-doc-parity.test.cjs to derive slug from name: frontmatter field
  instead of filename, so ns-* commands resolve to their actual deployed tokens

Closes #3049

* test: annotate commands-doc-parity with source-text-is-the-product exemption (#3049 lint fix)

The readFileSync on commands/gsd/*.md reads product markdown whose deployed
text IS what the user sees — content.startsWith('---') detects YAML frontmatter
in those files, not source-code structure. Add the allow-test-rule exemption
matching the same rationale used in docs-parity-live-registry.test.cjs.

* test: walk docs/** recursively to cover nested locale trees (CR finding 7)

Replaced the non-recursive listMdFiles() with a hand-rolled DFS walker
compatible with Node 20+. Surfaces unreadable-directory errors as stderr
warnings (PRED.k302) rather than silently skipping.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* test: annotate live-command-registry helper and commands-doc-parity with source-text exemptions (CR findings 6, 8)

Adds allow-test-rule comments to suppress lint-no-source-grep false
positives on YAML frontmatter structure checks in both files.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* test: anchor --research-phase assertions to arg-parsing section and verify combined refresh (CR findings 9, 10)

Finding 9: scopes --research-phase check to within 1200 chars of the flag
description section header, preventing false positives from prose mentions.

Finding 10: tightens the force-refresh assertion to require BOTH --research
and force/refresh semantics within the --research-phase description section,
verifying the combined-mode contract rather than standalone --research presence.

* test: fix execSync mock to accept opts parameter, forward to saved implementation (CR finding 5)

The mock at line 212 dropped the options parameter when delegating to
savedExecSync. Updated to (cmd, opts) signature and pass opts through.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* docs: correct routing entrypoint, --fast default, /gsd-review collision, verifying-stage mapping (CR findings 1-4)

Finding 1: Change Freeform Routing command from /gsd-fast to /gsd-progress --do.
/gsd-fast is the inline trivial-task executor, not the routing entrypoint.

Finding 2: Clarify that /gsd-map-codebase --fast REQ-SCAN-02 default (tech+arch)
runs as a single combined-focus agent, resolving the contradiction with REQ-SCAN-01.

Finding 3: Rename the namespace router /gsd-review to /gsd-quality across all docs,
command file, and help.md to eliminate the naming collision with the concrete
cross-AI peer-review command (review.md, name: gsd:review).

Finding 4: Replace /gsd-validate-phase with /gsd-verify-work in the STATE-MD-LIFECYCLE.md
verifying-stage table. /gsd-validate-phase is the retroactive Nyquist-validation
flow, not the normal phase-verification step.

* docs+test: fix locale doc drift surfaced by recursive walker (CR finding 7 follow-up)

The recursive listMdFiles() walker newly covered docs/**/*.md subdirs.
Stale command references in locale docs are now caught and fixed:

- docs/zh-CN/references/model-profiles.md: remove /gsd-set-profile (deleted command);
  config.json is the current mechanism
- docs/zh-CN/references/ui-brand.md: remove /gsd-alternative-1/2 template placeholders
- docs/{ja-JP,ko-KR,pt-BR}/superpowers/specs/2026-03-20-*: replace
  /gsd-new-workspace, /gsd-list-workspaces, /gsd-remove-workspace with
  /gsd-workspace --new / --list / --remove (consolidated in #2790)

Also adds smoke- and alternative-{1,2} to INTERNAL_COMPONENT_SLUGS (filesystem
path and template placeholder patterns, not slash commands) and introduces
listEnglishMdFiles() to scope the English parity check to docs/ excluding
locale subdirectories (which have their own per-locale describe blocks).

* docs: add bash language tag to fenced code blocks in ja-JP and ko-KR workspace specs (CR round 2)

Satisfies MD040 fenced-code-language requirement. These blocks contain
shell commands and were missing the language specifier.

GET SHIT 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, Kilo, Codex, Copilot, Cursor, Windsurf, and more.

Solves context rot — the quality degradation that happens as your AI fills its context window.

npm version npm downloads Tests Discord X (Twitter) $GSD Token GitHub stars License


npx get-shit-done-cc@latest

Works on Mac, Windows, and Linux.


GSD Install


"If you know clearly what you want, this WILL build it for you. No bs."

"I've done SpecKit, OpenSpec and Taskmaster — this has produced the best results for me."

"By far the most powerful addition to my Claude Code. Nothing over-engineered. Literally just gets shit done."


Trusted by engineers at Amazon, Google, Shopify, and Webflow.


Important

Returning to GSD?

Run /gsd-map-codebase to re-index your codebase, then /gsd-new-project to rebuild GSD's planning context. Your code is fine — GSD just needs its context rebuilt. See the CHANGELOG for what's new.


Why I Built This

I'm a solo developer. I don't write code — Claude Code does.

Other spec-driven tools exist, but they're all built for 50-person engineering orgs — sprint ceremonies, story points, stakeholder syncs, Jira workflows. I'm not that. I'm a creative person trying to build great things consistently.

So I built GSD. The complexity is in the system, not in your workflow. Behind the scenes: context engineering, XML prompt formatting, subagent orchestration, state management. What you see: a few commands that just work.

The system gives Claude everything it needs to do the work and verify it. I trust the workflow. It just does a good job.

— TÂCHES


How It Works

The loop is six commands. Each one does exactly one thing.

1. Initialize

/gsd-new-project

Questions → research → requirements → roadmap. You approve it, then you're ready to build.

Already have code? Run /gsd-map-codebase first. It analyzes your stack, architecture, and conventions so /gsd-new-project asks the right questions.

2. Discuss

/gsd-discuss-phase 1

Your roadmap has a sentence per phase. That's not enough to build it the way you imagine it. Discuss captures your decisions before anything gets planned: layouts, API shapes, error handling, data structures — whatever gray areas exist for this specific phase.

The output feeds directly into research and planning. Skip it, get reasonable defaults. Use it, get your vision.

3. Plan

/gsd-plan-phase 1

Research → plan → verify, in a loop until the plans pass. Each plan is small enough to execute in a fresh context window.

4. Execute

/gsd-execute-phase 1

Plans run in parallel waves. Each executor gets a fresh 200k-token context. Each task gets its own atomic commit. Walk away, come back to completed work with a clean git history.

Your main context window stays at 30–40%. The work happens in the subagents.

5. Verify

/gsd-verify-work 1

Walk through what was built. Anything broken gets a diagnosed fix plan — ready for immediate re-execution. You don't debug manually; you just run execute again.

6. Repeat → Ship

/gsd-ship 1
/gsd-complete-milestone
/gsd-new-milestone

Loop discuss → plan → execute → verify → ship until the milestone is done. Then archive, tag, and start the next one fresh.


Getting Started

npx get-shit-done-cc@latest

The installer prompts for your runtime (Claude Code, OpenCode, Gemini CLI, Kilo, Codex, Copilot, Cursor, Windsurf, and more) and whether to install globally or locally.

claude --dangerously-skip-permissions

GSD is built for frictionless automation. Skip-permissions is how it's intended to run.

See docs/USER-GUIDE.md for the full walkthrough, non-interactive install flags for all 15 runtimes, minimal install (--minimal), Docker setup, and permissions configuration.


Commands

The main loop:

Command What it does
/gsd-new-project Questions → research → requirements → roadmap
/gsd-discuss-phase [N] Capture implementation decisions before planning
/gsd-plan-phase [N] Research + plan + verify
/gsd-execute-phase <N> Execute plans in parallel waves
/gsd-verify-work [N] Manual acceptance testing
/gsd-ship [N] Create PR from verified phase work
/gsd-progress --next Auto-detect and run the next step
/gsd-complete-milestone Archive milestone and tag release
/gsd-new-milestone Start next version

For ad-hoc tasks, autonomous mode, codebase analysis, forensics, and the full command surface — see docs/COMMANDS.md.


Why It Works

Three things most AI-coding setups get wrong:

1. Context bloat. As a session grows, quality degrades. GSD keeps your main context clean by doing the heavy work in fresh subagent contexts. Researchers, planners, and executors each start fresh with exactly what they need.

2. No shared memory. GSD maintains structured artifacts that survive session boundaries: PROJECT.md (vision), REQUIREMENTS.md (scope), ROADMAP.md (where you're going), STATE.md (current position and decisions), CONTEXT.md (per-phase implementation decisions). Every new session loads these and knows exactly where things stand.

3. No verification. Code that "runs" isn't code that "works." GSD's verify step walks you through what was built, diagnoses failures with dedicated debug agents, and generates fix plans before you declare a phase done.

See docs/ARCHITECTURE.md for how the multi-agent orchestration and context engineering work in detail.


Configuration

Settings live in .planning/config.json. Configure during /gsd-new-project or update with /gsd-settings.

Key dials:

Setting What it controls
mode interactive (confirm each step) or yolo (auto-approve)
Model profiles quality / balanced / budget — controls which model each agent uses
workflow.research / plan_check / verifier Toggle the quality agents that add tokens and time
parallelization.enabled Run independent plans simultaneously

For the full configuration reference — all settings, git branching strategies, per-runtime model overrides, workstream config inheritance, agent skills injection — see docs/CONFIGURATION.md.

Troubleshooting

Commands not showing up? Restart your runtime after install. GSD installs to ~/.claude/skills/gsd-*/ (Claude Code), ~/.codex/skills/gsd-*/ (Codex), or the equivalent for your runtime.

Something broken? Re-run the installer — it's idempotent:

npx get-shit-done-cc@latest

Containers or Docker? Set CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR before installing to avoid tilde-expansion issues:

CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR=/home/youruser/.claude npx get-shit-done-cc --global
