* feat(#1105): add external-job capability (SLURM scheduler-adapter producer half) The async external-job consumer half (#1165) shipped long ago: the core loop reads .planning/async-jobs/<job>.json manifests and treats a non-terminal one as the legal external_job_waiting half-state. The PRODUCER half (#1164) was the remaining unimplemented piece of #1105. This adds the producer as a default-off capability: - capabilities/external-job/ — capability.json (execute:wave:post -> executor, plan:post -> planner contributions, external_job.* config keys, default-off) + fragments teaching runtime-budget classification and externalization. - src/external-job.cts -> gsd-core/bin/lib/external-job.cjs — pure producer module: SLURM state -> manifest-status map (no guessing), manifest build/validate (versioned stability contract), sbatch/squeue/sacct parsers, and a fail-closed manifest writer (refuses a second non-terminal job for a plan_id already in flight; refuses to clobber a malformed manifest). fs/clock seams for deterministic tests. - scripts/slurm-adapter.cjs — operator CLI (submit/poll/show) wrapping bounded sbatch/squeue/sacct subprocesses; surfaces manifest commands for confirmation and never auto-runs them (trust boundary). - tests/external-job.test.cjs — 23 behavioral + fast-check property tests. - docs/reference/long-running-operations.md + docs/how-to/async-external-jobs.md. - CONTEXT.md glossary entry for the External-job Capability. - Regenerated capability-registry.cjs; pruned the now-stale test-file-count allowlist entry (external-job is at the 2-file cap). * chore(#1105): backfill PR number in changeset * fix(#1105): sync capability artifacts + update registry shape-pin tests gsd-test caught that adding the external-job capability requires its dependent artifacts regenerated and its registry-shape drift absorbed: - sync-manifest-versions: stamp 1.7.0-rc.2 into capability.json (was 1.0.0). - gen-capability-matrix --write: regenerate docs/reference/capability-matrix.md. - gen-inventory-manifest --write: regenerate docs/INVENTORY-MANIFEST.json. - check-gap-analysis-plan-post-e2e: plan:post now has 1 contribution (external-job planner fragment) instead of 0. - execute-wave-post-gate-pipeline-e2e: execute:wave:post now has 2 contributions (mempalace + external-job) instead of 1. * fix(#1105): regenerate capability-registry after version stamp sync-manifest-versions re-stamped external-job/capability.json from 1.0.0 to 1.7.0-rc.2 after the last registry regeneration, leaving the committed capability-registry.cjs stale (CI gen-capability-registry --check failed). gsd-test masked this because its setup runs the full 'npm run build' (which regenerates the registry); CI's 'npm test' pretest only runs build:lib.
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, 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, Gemini 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, Gemini 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 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.
