cjsFallbackHandler was a no-op pass-through returning only its last argument, and state-command-router was its sole consumer — every handler wrapped a thunk in a 5-arg projection tuple whose first four args (registryCommand, registryArgs, legacyArgs, rawFormatter) were constructed and immediately discarded (rawFormatter null at 100% of sites). The SDK-dispatch path the metadata was nominally for is a retired shim. - Collapse all 20 state handlers to plain () => state.cmd*(...) thunks, matching the post-#298 inline convention used by the verify/roadmap/ phases routers (complete-phase already used this form). - Remove the local fallback() helper and Handler type from state-command-router.cts. - Drop cjsFallbackHandler from cjs-command-router-adapter.cts exports — no remaining consumers. Behavior-preserving: each thunk body is unchanged. No test referenced cjsFallbackHandler. Adapter test (8/8), state-routing tests (36/36), and the full unit suite (3435 pass / 0 fail) stay green.

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, 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, 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, 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.
