Tom Boucher 40ce95f882 fix(#2358): scope review.md and ship.md temp files to a per-run mktemp directory (#2433)
* 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.

* chore(#2358): regenerate fixtures + lint gate-prep

* fix(#2358): repair failing tests after gate verification

* fix(#2358): thread RUN_DIR scoping into reviewer-instances.md (#1517)

review.md's own invoke_reviewers step lazily loads
gsd-core/references/reviewer-instances.md for the review.reviewer_instances
codepath, but that doc was missed when review.md and ship.md were moved to
the run-scoped {run_dir} temp directory. 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:

  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.
