Tom Boucher 5d0fd4dc53 fix(#2825): gsd-code-fixer honors workflow.use_worktrees; never rm -rf a reparse point (#2905)
* fix(#2825): gsd-code-fixer honors workflow.use_worktrees; never rm -rf a reparse point

gsd-code-fixer was the only writer that hand-rolled a git worktree inside the
agent prompt and the only one that never read workflow.use_worktrees. With the
setting explicitly false, --fix still created worktrees; the fresh worktree had
no node_modules, so runs improvised a teardown whose `rm -rf` followed a Windows
junction into the REAL node_modules (silent data loss, 3x observed).

Defect 1: gate setup_worktree + its cleanup tail on workflow.use_worktrees
(same gsd_run query config-get read the four sibling workflows use). When false:
edit/commit in the main checkout (wt='.', no temp branch, no sentinel, no cleanup).

Defect 2: forbid rm -rf on a possible reparse point in the spec — never fall
through to a destructive remove; on failure, stop and surface the error.

Defect 3: REVIEW-FIX records where verification ran (main checkout vs worktree).

The transactional worktree path (#2839/#2990/#2686) is unchanged when worktrees
are enabled. Docs-parity guards in tests/code-review.test.cjs bind the spec to
the fix.

* chore(#2825): backfill changeset PR 2905

* fix(#2825): drop stale agents/gsd-code-fixer.toml ack + spent entries (emitted-attribution)

gsd-test failed: agents/gsd-code-fixer.toml is a STALE ack here — that TOML was
changed by #2834 (now in next), not this PR. The 4 base-carried acks
(autonomous/discuss-phase-assumptions/next/plan-phase) are spent/inert.

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:

  1. Discuss — capture implementation decisions before anything is planned
  2. Plan — research, decompose, and verify the plan fits a fresh context window
  3. Execute — run plans in parallel waves; each executor starts with a clean 200k-token context
  4. Verify — walk through what was built; diagnose and fix before declaring done
  5. 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.
