* test(#3338): fold the verify/validate & workflow-text issue-* cluster — Wave 6 Folds 10 legacy issue-*.test.cjs regression files (75 test() blocks) into their module's main suite, per H3 (#3315) of the test-hygiene epic (#3053). Third of 4 issue-* waves. - issue-2701-nul-corrupted-validators.test.cjs (9) + issue-429-comment- text-gate.test.cjs (31, incl. fast-check property tests): both target verify.cjs/validate.cjs via different calling styles (CLI vs direct- require) — merged jointly into verify.test.cjs, 0 dropped. - issue-2762-plan-reviews-chunked.test.cjs (3) merged into plan-phase-drift-guard.test.cjs. - issue-2771-advisor-subagent-type.test.cjs (1) + issue-2772-discuss- phase-text-inconsistencies.test.cjs (6) merged jointly into discuss-phase-power.test.cjs. - issue-498-update-backup-runtime-dir.test.cjs (3, rename basis) + issue-815-update-next-channel.test.cjs (7, merged in): both concern update.md workflow-text contracts, now update-workflow.test.cjs. - issue-498-update-context.test.cjs (13): pure rename to update-context.test.cjs, sole comprehensive suite for its module. - issue-2765-brace-expansion-lockfile.test.cjs (1, rename basis) + issue-3238-js-yaml-lockfile.test.cjs (1, merged in): two distinct CVE regression pins against package-lock.json, now lockfile-cve-audit.test.cjs, shared ROOT/npmLs helpers deduped instead of double-declared. Ratchet upkeep to keep this wave's own gates green: pruned 3 stale allow-test-rule allowlist entries, cited 2 previously-uncited comments that surfaced in the folded content (#3338), tightened the exemption-file ceiling 305 -> 297. Fixed one stale filename reference in production code (src/init.cts) plus one in docs/reference/workflow-fragments.md. Zero net test-coverage loss. No production code BEHAVIOR changed. * test(#3338): fix orthogonal-review findings — Wave 6 fold Standards-axis review found a real structural defect in two files, both the same root cause and both fixed here: - tests/update-workflow.test.cjs: the folded:issue-815-update-next-channel wrapper's closing brace was placed after the file's pre-existing tail instead of before it, making the already-established folded:bug-2470 and folded:bug-3130 wrappers CHILDREN of issue-815's block in the test hierarchy instead of independent siblings — confirmed via an actual node --test run showing the mislabeled TAP nesting. Moved the closing brace to the correct position; all three fold wrappers are now top-level siblings again (verified via node --test, TAP hierarchy correct, 10/10 tests, 5 suites, identical count before and after). - tests/plan-phase-drift-guard.test.cjs: same mistake in the other direction — folded:issue-2762-plan-reviews-chunked was spliced inside the pre-existing folded:bug-2492-context-coverage-gate wrapper instead of after it. Fixed the same way (227/227 tests, 38 suites, identical count before and after). - Reverted unnecessary 815-suffixed local renames (assert815/fs815/etc.) introduced by the fold — the wrapper is genuinely block-scoped once correctly closed, so no collision existed (same class as Wave 4's __foldSetNested finding). No test() count changed in either file. No production code touched. --------- 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.
