* test(3595): filesystem fault-injection for platformWriteSync atomic-write seam
Per CONTRIBUTING.md §"QA Matrix Requirements / Filesystem writes and
installers", adds adversarial coverage against the canonical write
seam every CJS config/state/generated-artifact writer routes through —
`platformWriteSync` in get-shit-done/bin/lib/shell-command-projection.cjs.
Fault matrix exercised via node:test mock.method() on real fs seams,
with t.after() restoring mocks so failures don't leak between tests:
- happy path baseline (atomicity + no orphan tmp file)
- renameSync EXDEV → fallback path writes directly, tmp cleaned up
- tmp writeFileSync ENOSPC → fallback writes directly
- both tmp and fallback fail → fallback error propagates (PINNED:
original cause is swallowed; open follow-up for .cause chaining)
- mkdirSync EACCES → escapes unhandled (PINNED current behavior)
- target path is an existing directory → typed errno code surfaces
AND the directory is preserved
- paths with spaces / Unicode / tabs / newlines (POSIX only for \n)
- 25 sequential writes leave 0 tmp orphans (cleanup invariant)
- platformEnsureDir is idempotent (no EEXIST throw)
- platformEnsureDir EACCES propagates
Symlink-safety invariants (security-critical):
- REPLACES a symlink with a regular file rather than following it —
a planted symlink in .planning/ pointing at ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
is NOT clobbered. Test pins this so a future refactor to
fs.writeFileSync (which follows symlinks) is a visible regression.
- Broken symlinks are replaced with the intended regular file.
Concurrent-write collision: a renameSync EBUSY on the in-flight write
must still produce a parseable, complete final file via the fallback —
never a half-written corruption.
13 new tests; total 192/192 pass when bundled with the pre-existing
state/config/worktree-safety suites (179 of theirs). Zero production
code changes — test-only PR.
Two known-open gaps deliberately NOT fixed in this PR (warrant separate
focused issues):
- platformWriteSync fallback path swallows the original tmp-write
error. Operator only sees the fallback's error when both fail.
- platformWriteSync mkdirSync(dirname, recursive:true) error
escapes without context — no message-wrapping or typed reason.
Closes #3595

* test(3595): use t.skip() for Win32 symlink gates + fix rename mock delegation
Two Codex review findings addressed:
1. Symlink tests previously used `if (process.platform === 'win32') return`
which CI reports as PASS even though the test ran zero assertions.
Replaced with `t.skip('symlinks on Win32 need admin'); return;` so
CI correctly reports SKIPPED on Windows lanes. Applied to both the
symlink-replace and broken-symlink tests.
2. The concurrent-collision test's rename mock referenced a
non-existent `fs.renameSync.wrapped` property in its fallback
branch — that path would silently no-op instead of delegating to
the real renameSync. Capture the real `fs.renameSync` BEFORE
installing the mock and call `originalRename.call(fs, src, dest)`
in the fallback branch, matching the ENOSPC test's pattern.
Codex review on PR #3634.

Returning to GSD?
Run
/gsd-map-codebaseto re-index your codebase, then/gsd-new-projectto 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-codebasefirst. It analyzes your stack, architecture, and conventions so/gsd-new-projectasks 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.
Install only the skills you need with --profile=core (six core-loop skills), --profile=standard (core + phase management), or the default full install. Profiles compose: --profile=core,audit. --minimal is an alias for --profile=core. See docs/USER-GUIDE.md for the full walkthrough, non-interactive install flags for all 15 runtimes, and permissions configuration. See ADR-0011 for the profile model and runtime surface control.
Current release highlights are in docs/RELEASE-v1.42.1.md: package legitimacy checks, safer installer migrations, runtime surface control, custom ship PR sections, reviewer defaults, fallow structural review, and quota-aware execution recovery.

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 |
Optional structural review: set code_quality.fallow.enabled to true to add a fallow pre-pass to /gsd-code-review. GSD writes .planning/phases/<phase>/FALLOW.json and surfaces a Structural Findings (fallow) section in REVIEW.md. Install with npm install -D fallow@^2.70.0 (or system-wide via cargo install fallow; note that the Rust binary's JSON schema must match the documented v2.70+ contract — older versions may produce silent zero-finding output).
Package legitimacy checks are built into the research, planning, and execution path: recommended dependencies get audited, unverified packages require a human checkpoint, and failed installs stop instead of trying similarly named alternatives.

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.
Codex users — minimum supported CLI version is 0.130.0. Codex CLI 0.130.0 (release notes) removed extra-skill-roots discovery via openai/codex#21485; from that version onward Codex discovers skills from standard roots (including ~/.codex/skills/<name>/SKILL.md). GSD installs there directly. Earlier Codex CLI versions may still discover additional roots, which can surface duplicate gsd-* entries (one from extra-roots discovery, one from ~/.codex/skills/); restart Codex after install and either upgrade or accept the duplicate listing.
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
