⚠️ This is the active fork

📢 Read the announcement: why the fork, what changed, what's next →

The original repo at gsd-build/get-shit-done appears compromised or abandoned. The maintainer (TÂCHES) has not been reachable since 2026-04-01. TÂCHES social accounts appear deleted, and a $GSD token associated with the project has been linked publicly to a rug-pull.

I have no inside information beyond what is publicly visible. I am stating absence-of-information deliberately — absence of news is not the same as evidence.

What I can confirm

• No contact with the original maintainer since 2026-04-01.
• TÂCHES social accounts appear deleted or unreachable.
• The $GSD token has been linked publicly to a rug-pull.
• The repo at gsd-build/get-shit-done continues to exist but I cannot vouch for any changes pushed there from this point forward.

GET SHIT 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, Gemini CLI, Kilo, Codex, Copilot, Cursor, Windsurf, and more.

Solves context rot — the quality degradation that happens as your AI fills its context window.

npx @opengsd/get-shit-done-redux@latest

Works on Mac, Windows, and Linux.

"If you know clearly what you want, this WILL build it for you. No bs."

"I've done SpecKit, OpenSpec and Taskmaster — this has produced the best results for me."

"By far the most powerful addition to my Claude Code. Nothing over-engineered. Literally just gets shit done."

Trusted by engineers at Amazon, Google, Shopify, and Webflow.

Important

Returning to GSD?

Run /gsd-map-codebase to re-index your codebase, then /gsd-new-project to 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.

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-codebase first. It analyzes your stack, architecture, and conventions so /gsd-new-project asks 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 @opengsd/get-shit-done-redux@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.

Cross-runtime compatibility: installer required

The agents/ and commands/ directories in this repository are Claude Code-format source files. The installer (npx @opengsd/get-shit-done-redux@latest) transforms them per target runtime — stripping or converting frontmatter fields that Claude Code uses but other runtimes reject. For example, OpenCode requires color as a hex or semantic value from a fixed set, and does not accept a tools: frontmatter field; the installer function convertClaudeToOpencodeFrontmatter (bin/install.js) handles this automatically.

Manually copying files from agents/ or commands/ directly into a non-Claude-Code runtime config directory (e.g., ~/.config/opencode/agents) skips the conversion step and will produce schema validation errors in that runtime.

If you are on a system without Node.js or npm (Windows + OpenCode is the most common case), see docs/USER-GUIDE.md — Manual install / no-Node.js setup for the per-runtime conversion summary and alternative install paths.

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.

For the full configuration reference — all settings, git branching strategies, per-runtime model overrides, workstream config inheritance, agent skills injection — see docs/CONFIGURATION.md.

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 @opengsd/get-shit-done-redux@latest

Containers or Docker? Set CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR before installing to avoid tilde-expansion issues:

CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR=/home/youruser/.claude npx @opengsd/get-shit-done-redux --global
