* fix(#4211): materialize Kimi's agent tree recursively during surface apply kimiAgentsKind stages `gsd.yaml` + `gsd.md` + `subagents/gsd-*.{yaml,md}`, and install copies that tree recursively (_copyStaged). Surface apply fell through to _syncGsdDir's flat command/agent branch, which reads only top-level `*.md`: the YAML half and the whole subagents/ subtree were ignored, and `gsd.md` was written as `gsdgsd.md` because the flat branch re-applies kind.prefix to a name that already carries it. A surface change could therefore corrupt Kimi's installed artifacts while still reporting success. Three divergences from the install path, all in src/surface.cts: - _syncGsdDir gains a kimi-agents branch: recursive copy, then a prune scoped to exactly what install's _removeGsdEntries owns for this kind (the two root files, and gsd-*.{yaml,md} under subagents/). Everything else is user-owned and preserved. - applySurface stages kimi-agents WITH agentCtx and the `skills: '*'` rule for an unmodified full profile, as it already does for the agents kind and as createRuntimeArtifactInstallPlan does for every kind — without it Kimi's generated subagents lost their path-prefix rewrites and attribution trailer, and an unmodified full profile staged only the skill-referenced subset. - applySurface runs rewriteStagedSkillBodies for kimi-agents, which the install plan routes through it alongside skills. * chore: add changeset for #4211 --------- Co-authored-by: Tom Boucher <trekkie@nomorestars.com>
GSD Core
Git. Ship. Done.

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.
