* fix(#2358): scope review workflow temp files to a per-run mktemp dir /gsd-review wrote every prompt/section/output temp file to a hardcoded /tmp path keyed only on the phase number, so two GSD projects sharing a small phase number collide on the exact same path and a crashed run's leftover file becomes bait a later, unrelated run can silently read. ship.md's external peer-review stderr capture was strictly worse — one shared, unqualified path across every project/phase/run. Thread a single mktemp -d "${TMPDIR:-/tmp}/gsd-review.XXXXXX" run directory through every review.md temp path (67 sites) via a new {run_dir}/$RUN_DIR placeholder, mirroring the existing {phase} substitution mechanism, and clean it up at the end of the run. Route ship.md's stderr capture through a per-run mktemp file the same way.

It still read the combined prompt from the old /tmp/gsd-review-prompt-{phase}.md (which build_prompt no longer writes, breaking reviewer-instances functionality outright) and wrote each instance's output to the old unscoped /tmp/gsd-review-${INSTANCE_NAME}-{phase}.md, leaving the exact cross-project temp-file collision bug open for that code path. Both paths now thread through {run_dir}, matching every other reviewer block in review.md. Extends the existing #2358 regression test with assertions pinning reviewer-instances.md's prompt read and output write to {run_dir}, and adds the Fixed changeset fragment. Regenerated the golden-install-parity content hashes for reviewer-instances.md via `npm run gen:golden` (paths unchanged; only the modified file's hash moved).

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, 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

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.
