* fix(#3503): derive the code-review diff base from GSD's own commit scopes, not prose mentions The #2989/#3191 anchor ('[Pp]hase N' + POSIX boundary) still resolved the phase diff base ~4 phases early on real repos: git log --grep searches full commit bodies and tail -1 keeps the OLDEST match, so a single prose mention anywhere in history (a planning commit forward-referencing the phase per D-09, a doc commit using '### Phase N' as a format example) silently captured the base — while GSD's own commits, which use conventional-commit scopes (docs(phase-6):, feat(6-01):, docs(06):) and never contain the literal 'Phase N', were matched by nothing. The wrong base inflated the Tier-3 file-list fallback, the #2666 SUMMARY/diff union, the reviewer agent's diff_base, and fallow's --changed-since scope, with no warning. All three derivation sites (Tier-3 fallback, spawn_reviewer, fallow structural pre-pass) now grep for the subject-line conventional-commit phase scope under --extended-regexp, in lockstep per the #3191 contract: ^[[:alpha:]]+!?\((phase-)?(N|0N)(-[0-9]+)?\)!?: PHASE_SCOPE_NUM accepts both padded and unpadded phase spellings because workflows emit the unpadded roadmap number (docs(phase-6):) while code-review greps the zero-padded PADDED_PHASE. The ^ anchor makes it a subject-line match, so commit-body prose can never capture the base. The POSIX-ERE portability rule (#3191, no \b), the fail-closed empty-result warning, and the --files escape hatch are preserved: histories with no scope-style commits yield no base instead of an arbitrary one. Tests (tests/code-review-pipeline-regression.test.cjs): new Bug 6 (#3503) block executes the SHIPPED bash from all three sites against a real git fixture whose history carries every prose false-positive class from the issue — red pre-fix (the prose-body commits captured the base at every site), green post-fix. The Bug 5 (#3191) block is updated to the scope anchor contract (its fixtures bound to the shipped text), and its T6 docs-parity guard now enforces the identical scope-anchored grep plus the PHASE_SCOPE_NUM prep at every git-log site. Emitted drift: 3503-diff-base-scope-anchor.json acks the deliberate workflow growth; the spent 3191-unanchored-grep-sites.json fragment (its code-review.md entry was consumed when #3191 merged) is pruned. * chore(#3503): add changeset fragment for PR #3526 * fix(#3503): rebase onto next and correct the emitted-drift ack Rebase onto origin/next@6badb839 (PR freshness: #3514/#3516 landed after this branch was cut). Post-rebase the attribution gate classifies the two source-path ack entries (gsd-core/workflows/code-review.md, structural- pre-pass.md) as stale — source files present in the diff are identity- attributed by the table, so only the emitted code-review.md basename growth needs an acknowledgment. The fragment now names exactly that one consumed entry. --------- Co-authored-by: sim <sim@local>
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.
