* test(#2717): CommonJS marker for cursor/windsurf/codex staged .js hooks Cursor/windsurf (skipSharedHooksInstall) and codex (!isCodex gate) stage .js hook scripts via dedicated paths that bypass installSharedHooksBundle — the only writer of the {"type":"commonjs"} marker. Under a config root declaring {"type":"module"}, Node loaded those scripts as ESM and every require() failed with 'require is not defined', silently disabling the runtime's hooks. Adds regression tests (RED first, fix lands next commit): - parametrized cursor/windsurf/codex install asserts hooks/package.json exists with exactly GSD's marker content; - end-to-end: a cursor require()-using hook loads under a planted ESM-typed config root without the require-is-not-defined error; - the ensureCommonJsMarker / removeCommonJsMarkerIfGsdOwned contract: GSD markers are removed on uninstall, user-authored package.json is never touched. * fix(#2717): write CommonJS marker for cursor/windsurf/codex staged .js hooks The {"type":"commonjs"} marker lived only inside installSharedHooksBundle, which cursor/windsurf (skipSharedHooksInstall) and codex (!isCodex gate) never reach. Their .js hooks are staged by dedicated paths, so under a config root declaring {"type":"module"} Node loaded them as ESM and every require() failed with 'require is not defined', silently disabling those runtimes' hooks. Decouple the marker write into a shared helper so any code path that stages .js hooks can ensure it lands in the SAME directory as the scripts: - src/runtime-hooks-surface.cts: add ensureCommonJsMarker(dir) + removeCommonJsMarkerIfGsdOwned(dir) (byte-identical content to installSharedHooksBundle's marker; preserves a user-authored package.json on both write and uninstall). Call ensureCommonJsMarker(hooksDir) from writeCursorHooksJson + writeWindsurfHooksJson; call removeCommonJsMarkerIfGsdOwned on their matching remove paths. Export both. - bin/install.js: call hooksSurface.ensureCommonJsMarker after the codex hook copy; call hooksSurface.removeCommonJsMarkerIfGsdOwned in the generic hooks-removal loop (safe no-op where no marker exists). No change to which runtimes receive the shared bundle, the !isCodex gate, skipSharedHooksInstall, or kimi/kimi-code/cline/copilot/trae/zcode (all unchanged — audit in the diagnosis). RED @ dbb7d2bb (6 failures: 3 missing markers + the ESM require error + missing helpers); GREEN pending. * docs(#2717): changeset fragment (pr:0, backfilled post-PR) * chore(#2717): regen codex/cursor/windsurf install-tree fixtures + attribution ack The fix adds hooks/package.json to those three runtimes' install trees (the new CommonJS marker), so the golden install-tree fixtures gain one path each (regenerated via npm run gen:install-tree). emitted-attribution (ADR-2719) flags the 3 emitted hooks/package.json paths under the hooks-built rule; acknowledge them. Also drops 5 spent ack entries left by now-merged PRs (#2694 code-review.md/code-review-fix.md, #2695 worker/registry, #2794 review.md) — they are stale on this branch (base already carries them). * fix(#2717): codex ESM-root behavioral test + hooks-built provenance for package.json Two review-driven follow-ups on the #2717 fix: - Adversarial review noted the ESM-root behavioral test covered only cursor; refactor it into a helper and add a codex case (the !isCodex-gated path most likely to regress, whose marker write lives in bin/install.js). gsd-check-update.js require()s at module load, so it surfaces the ESM failure immediately. - emitted-provenance flagged hooks/package.json as 'attributed source does not exist' — the marker is code-derived (a fixed literal emitted by ensureCommonJsMarker at install time), not built from a tracked source. Route the hooks-built rule's sources/transforms for package.json to the surface source file, mirroring the existing .cmd-shim sub-family. * chore(#2717): drop now-redundant hooks/package.json attribution ack The hooks-built provenance routing (prior commit) now self-attributes the emitted hooks/package.json to src/runtime-hooks-surface.cts, which IS in this diff — so the attribution is self-explaining and the emitted-drift-ack entry became stale. Delete the (now-empty) ack file per ADR-2719's empty-file rule. * docs(changeset): backfill #2717 PR number to 2846
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.
