* test(#2772): structural guards for the four discuss-phase text inconsistencies * fix(#2772): resolve four discuss-phase text inconsistencies 1. auto.md: remove the dead MAX_PASSES/max_discuss_passes config read (contradicted the mandated single-pass rule + wasted a shim invocation per auto run). 2. gate-prompts.md: context-handling options now match the actual check_existing flow (Update it | View it | Skip, not Overwrite|Append|Cancel); gray-area-option no longer mandates 'Let Claude decide' (contradicts discuss-phase.md's no-cop-out rule). 3. discuss-phase.md: auto_advance fallback ends the workflow instead of routing back to the already-run confirm_creation step (circular). 4. discuss-phase-assumptions.md: re-sync answer_validation to the parent canonical block (had drifted — lost the 'Other' empty-text branch). * chore(#2772): changeset fragment * fix+test(#2772): also fix the assumptions auto_advance circularity (review minor 1) + add positive test anchors (review minor 2) The sibling discuss-phase-assumptions.md had the identical auto_advance→confirm_creation circularity; fix it the same way (end the workflow). Add positive anchors to both auto_advance tests so a re-phrased regression can't slip past. File #2885 for the dead max_discuss_passes config still advertised in settings/registry/docs (review minor 3). * fix(#2772): keep discuss-phase.md under the 32000B #717 cap + ack assumptions growth The auto_advance fixes + the assumptions answer_validation re-sync grew both files past the emitted-attribution gate (and discuss-phase.md past the #717 32000B cap). Condense the auto_advance prose in both files (discuss-phase.md now net -11, under cap; auto.md already net -4650 from the MAX_PASSES shim removal). Add discuss-phase-assumptions.md to tests/emitted-drift-ack.json for its residual +220 (answer_validation re-sync + auto_advance fix). * chore(#2772): backfill changeset PR number (2886) --------- Co-authored-by: Test <test@example.com>

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.
