Phase 1 of #3464. Removes the `// allow-test-rule:` marker from 22 test files where it is provably vestigial, and tightens the ratchet ceiling in scripts/lint-allow-test-rule-refs.ceiling.json from 305 to 285. Eligibility is decided by two independent AST discriminators, both conservative (any doubt => keep): (a) Read-target type. Every readFileSync/readFile call in the file resolves statically to a prose/config extension (.md/.json/.yml/.yaml/.toml/.txt), or the file performs no reads at all. Any read of a source extension (.cjs/.js/.mjs/.ts/.cts/.mts/.jsx/.tsx), any dynamic/unresolvable path, and any other extension all disqualify the file. (b) Marker context. Every `allow-test-rule:` occurrence is a genuine comment node, never string- or template-literal payload. A marker that lives inside a RuleTester `code:` fixture is test DATA, not a suppression directive; stripping it corrupts the test. tests/eslint-rules.test.cjs is the one such fixture host and is deliberately untouched. An earlier attempt at this phase classified markers by "strip it and see if local/no-source-grep still passes" and was reverted in full before commit. That oracle is unsound: the rule only fires on a literal .cjs/.js/.ts path containing a quoted bin/lib/gsd-core/src segment, tracked one hop from the binding, so files that genuinely source-grep real JavaScript pass it silently -- tests/no-unbounded-spawn-allowlist.test.cjs (reads test sources through a listTestFiles() walk) and tests/claude-imperative-reference.test.cjs (matches bin/install.js through an intermediate variable) both cleared it while being real source-greps. The rule's implementation is narrower than its intent, so it cannot adjudicate whether an exemption is load-bearing. Scope is limited to comment deletions: the diff over the test tree is 100% line removals with zero insertions, and no executable line is altered. On the ceiling value. The measured count at this HEAD is 283, so 285 leaves 2 slack -- deliberate, and well inside the documented grace band of 3. Pinning the ceiling to the exact count makes this change effectively unmergeable: any concurrent PR that lands one marker-bearing test file re-reds it. That race fired twice while preparing this branch (once mid-rebase taking the count 304->305 on next, once between rebase and the verification run taking it 282->283), and it is the same race that broke next in #3461. A ceiling of actual+2 preserves a merge window while still ratcheting 305 -> 285. Known limit, disclosed rather than papered over: this clears 22 of 303 markers and does not reach #3464's trend-to-zero goal. Most of the remaining markers sit on dynamic-path reads, commonly a hoisted `const p = path.join(tmpDir, 'STATE.md')` whose target is prose but is unresolvable to this classifier. A stricter one-hop const resolution would flip an estimated 95 more; that is deliberately left to a follow-up so it can be reviewed on its own evidence. Marker discovery reads bytes rather than shelling out to grep: tests/security-prompt-injection.security.test.cjs carries a literal NUL byte (an intentional injection fixture) that makes grep treat it as binary and skip it, which is why the true marked-file count is 303 and not the 302 a shell scan reports.

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

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.
