Three review findings, all fixed.
The isolated security review found a SECOND divergence the design missed. The
classifier parses structurally, so it accepted `packageName` at any key
position; the shell's `case` is anchored at the start of stdout. For
`{"note":"x","packageName":"<us>",...}` the classifier said ok and the shell
said unverified -- a fail-open disagreement, and none of the original ten parity
rows caught it because every one put `packageName` first. Certifying agreement
that does not hold would have been worse than shipping no parity suite. The
classifier now honors the anchor on its ok arm, which is what the module already
claimed to do: IDENTITY_RAW_PREFIX is documented as "ANCHORED, never a substring
search". A foreign packageName stays identity_mismatch wherever it appears, so
that arm is untouched. Parity rows P11-P13 added.
The spec review found the test matrix marked the empty-string `packageName` row
as already covered. It was not -- the `.length > 0` guard is a distinct path
from "no packageName key at all", which is tested. Added, and the matrix
corrected to say it was wrong.
The standards review flagged ~45 lines of fixture helpers duplicated verbatim
between the two preamble describes. Extracted to one `makeIdentityFixture()`.
Changeset rewritten: it described only the exit-code half of the diff.

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.
