* test(#4040): add failing-first regression tests for partial-init routing Red: init.progress/init.resume/init.new-project payloads carry no partial-init discriminator, and progress.md/resume-project.md/ new-project.md route an interrupted bootstrap (.planning/PROJECT.md + config.json only) to Route F / STATE reconstruction / a hard error. * fix(#4040): route partially-created .planning to initialization recovery A bootstrap interrupted after .planning/PROJECT.md (but before REQUIREMENTS.md/ROADMAP.md/STATE.md) was mis-routed three ways: progress.md read it as between-milestones (Route F) or 'no planning structure', resume-project.md offered STATE.md reconstruction, and new-project.md errored 'already initialized' — a routing loop with no recovery exit. Add a shared buildInitCompletenessFields discriminator (planning_exists / requirements_exists / milestones_exists / init_incomplete) to the init.progress, init.resume and init.new-project payloads, and branch on init_incomplete in progress.md, resume-project.md and new-project.md BEFORE the legacy branches. MILESTONES.md presence excludes the archival between-milestones state, so Route F and the STATE-reconstruction path keep working. Emitted-Drift-Ack-Growth: progress.md — deliberate #4040 growth: new init_incomplete recovery branch (routing text + guard on the no-planning and Route F branches) added ahead of the legacy init_context routes. Emitted-Drift-Ack-Growth: resume-project.md — deliberate #4040 growth: new init_incomplete branch routing an interrupted bootstrap to initialization recovery before the STATE.md-reconstruction branch. Emitted-Drift-Ack-Growth: new-project.md — deliberate #4040 growth: project_exists gate split on init_incomplete so a partial bootstrap resumes initialization instead of erroring. * chore(#4040): add changeset fragment * chore(#4040): backfill PR number in changeset fragment --------- 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
New here? Follow Your first project for a guided walkthrough from install to first shipped phase, or Onboarding an existing codebase for brownfield setup.

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.
