* fix(#623): make release Verify-publish tolerant of npm propagation lag The rc and latest Verify-publish steps used a single `sleep 10` + one `npm view`, which false-failed the whole release job when npm's registry read lagged the publish write — observed on the v1.3.0-rc.1 RC run, where publish/tag/GitHub-release all succeeded but verification reported NOT_FOUND. Extract the check into scripts/verify-npm-publish.cjs: a testable module with a bounded retry/poll loop, a frozen REASON enum, and a --json mode (mirrors verify-reapply-patches.cjs). Both workflow steps now call it. dist-tag reporting stays informational and never fails the step, matching prior behavior. Adds tests/verify-npm-publish.test.cjs covering retry, exhaustion, and dist-tag reporting via injected lookups (no network).

Add the new test to that cluster's allowlisted set to satisfy the identity ratchet.

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, Gemini 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, Gemini 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, Gemini 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 your first project:
/gsd-new-project

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.
