* feat(#3586): warn when .planning/ is gitignored but still tracked git ignore rules have no effect on files git already tracks, so a project that committed .planning/ before ignoring it keeps staging those files -- while commit_docs correctly resolves to false, which is exactly what makes the contradiction invisible. The probe lives in the SNAPSHOT BUILDER, not the rule: Rule.check may perform no ambient I/O (ADR-3180 8.1 rule 1, enforced by lint-planning-snapshot-bypass). buildPlanningTrackedField follows buildWorktreeHealthField's precedent -- injected execGit, bounded, degrading to UNREADABLE with a typed reason rather than throwing. W024 went inline instead only because no snapshot field carried its fact; that precondition does not apply here. W029 fires only on COMPLETE scope with ignored and tracked both true, so a degraded probe yields neither a finding nor a false all-clear, and the default project (tracked, not ignored) stays silent. The remedy is ADVISE-only -- --repair never untracks anything. * docs(#3586): document W029 and correct the health rule count CONFIGURATION.md documented the gitignore auto-detect without the caveat that ignore rules do not affect already-tracked files -- the very gap W029 exists to surface. Adds the caveat, the warning, its remedy, and why --repair will not act on it. CONTEXT.md's rule count was stale at 31 before this change (actual 32 through W028); corrected to 33 and pointed at the two other places the count is locked, so the next editor updates all three together. * fix(#3586): treat ls-files overflow as tracked, add CLI-level W029 tests Review findings. Security (minor, confirmed): execGit sets no maxBuffer, so Node's 1MB default applies to git ls-files. A .planning/ tree large enough to overflow it failed into git_list_failed and silenced W029 -- a false negative in exactly the large-history case most likely to have the real bug. Overflow is now treated as PROOF of tracking (the output was non-empty by definition) and resolves to tracked:true, scope COMPLETE, reason ok_truncated. Spec (major): test-matrix rows C1 and C2 were never implemented -- there was no CLI-level integration test at all, only rule-level ones. Both now drive the real validate-health dispatch and confirm W029 is reachable end-to-end. Known limit documented, not papered over: a deliberate git add -f under an otherwise-ignored .planning/ raises the same signal as the accidental case. There is no reliable way to tell them apart, the finding is advisory-only, and a heuristic that cannot actually distinguish them would be worse than the honest caveat. * test(#3586): update frozen health-doc counts and acknowledge health.md growth The remote matrix caught three gates that lint:ci does not cover. gen-health-docs.test.cjs froze a 35-row / 32-rule assertion; W029 makes it 36/33. Updated both the assertion and the test NAME, which embeds the counts -- a stale name is a lie even when the assertion passes. The second reported failure was the same assertion surfacing at describe-rollup granularity, not a distinct bug. emitted-attribution's growth arm needed an ack for the generated health.md. health.md was already named in 3309-health-docs-generated.json, and two ack sources naming one path is a hard error -- so a new fragment was not an option. That fragment's own history shows the pattern: #3309 created it, #2873 amended it in place for W028. Amended again for W029, with a note recording why this one file is amended rather than joined by a sibling. * docs(#3586): add the private-planning how-to and fix a wrong link docs/CONFIGURATION.md pointed 'Configure private planning' at how-to/configure-model-profiles.md -- an unrelated page -- and no private-planning how-to existed at all. Found while editing that section. The how-to test genuinely fires here: going private is four steps and crosses planning.search_gitignored, a setting owned by another concern, so a reference table structurally cannot carry it. The new page walks the whole sequence and leads with the step people miss -- .gitignore does not untrack what git already tracks -- which is the exact state W029 now detects. Also corrects 'artefacts' to 'artifacts' (repo house style is American). * chore(#3586): backfill changeset pr number to 3598 --------- Co-authored-by: sim <sim@local>
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.
