* fix(#3956): require positive evidence for verify artifacts/key-links pass An all-string or path-less must_haves.artifacts / key_links block is item-by-item skipped, leaving zero checked results, yet the pass verdict was computed as `passed === results.length` (0 === 0), so all_passed / all_verified read true with status valid and exit 0: a silent false GREEN over zero acceptance evidence. Add a positive-evidence floor (results.length > 0) to both verdicts, mirroring the no-vacuous-pass rule at src/uat-predicate.cts. A well-formed block, the fully-empty-block error, the parser's string tolerance, and key-links pending (#1202) semantics are all unchanged. Governing: ADR-3473 section 8 / 37C (absence, emptiness and failure must not encode as success) and Decision 3 (failure is a value). * chore(#3956): add changeset for verify vacuous-pass fix * test(#3956): add mixed-block coverage and correct the key-links vacuous-pass comment Addresses review on #4004: - Correct the cmdVerifyKeyLinks positive-evidence-floor comment: only bare-string items are continue-skipped; a from:-less object is NOT skipped (it falls through to a verified:false hard failure), so it was never part of the vacuous-pass surface. The prior comment overclaimed symmetry with the artifacts side. - Add a mixed-block regression test per verb (one bare-string prose bullet + one well-formed entry): the string is skipped, results.length === 1 > 0, and the verdict follows the single real entry — pinning that the floor does not over-reject a partial block. - Tighten the changeset wording to match (all-bare-string, not "no path:/from: key"). --------- Co-authored-by: Tom Boucher <trekkie@nomorestars.com>
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.
