Tom Boucher 639e4d603a refactor(shell-projection): migrate all subprocess call sites to exec*/probeTty seam (Phase 2, #3466) (#3476)
* refactor(shell-projection): migrate planning-workspace.cjs tty probe to probeTty seam (#3466)

Replaces direct execFileSync('tty') with probeTty() from the shell-projection
seam. Removes try/catch — probeTty() returns null on error/non-tty/win32.

* refactor(shell-projection): migrate commands.cjs to execGit seam (#3466)

- Replaces execSync('git diff --cached --name-only') with execGit array call
- Migrates 14 existing execGit(cwd, args) callers from core.cjs's local
  wrapper to the seam's execGit(args, { cwd }) signature
- Drops execGit from the core.cjs destructure to resolve naming collision

Drops try/catch around git diff — execGit returns exitCode without throwing,
so the no-staged-files / not-a-git-repo case is detected by exitCode !== 0.

* refactor(shell-projection): migrate check-latest-version.cjs to execNpm seam (#3466)

Routes the default-spawn path through execNpm — execNpm owns the win32
shell-flag policy. The injection point remains spawnSync-shaped for test
compatibility; an internal adapter translates { exitCode } → { status }.

* refactor(shell-projection): migrate init.cjs git calls to execGit seam (#3466)

Replaces 3 execSync calls with execGit array-args:
- detectChildRepos: git status --porcelain
- cmdInitNewWorkspace: git --version (worktree availability probe)
- cmdRemoveWorkspace: git status --porcelain

Drops 3 try/catch blocks — execGit returns exitCode without throwing, so
best-effort handling becomes a clean exitCode === 0 check.

* refactor(shell-projection): migrate core.cjs to execGit seam delegation (#3466)

- Removes direct require('child_process') from core.cjs
- Replaces execFileSync('git check-ignore') with seam's execGit
- Local execGit wrapper now a thin adapter delegating to seam — keeps the
  legacy (cwd, args) positional signature and derived timedOut field for
  the verify.cjs and worktree-safety.cjs consumers that are out of Phase 2
  scope (the wrapper proper would only be removed once those consumers
  migrate, tracked separately)

Extends the seam's _spawnResult to expose signal and error fields so callers
can compute timedOut without bypassing the seam. The Phase 1 test suite
asserts on required field presence only, so the extension is
backward-compatible.

* refactor(shell-projection): migrate graphify.cjs to execTool seam (#3466)

- execGraphify: spawnSync('graphify', ...) → execTool with env passthrough,
  preserving the ENOENT/TIMEOUT/EXIT_NONZERO typed reason mapping using the
  seam's signal/error fields
- checkGraphifyInstalled: spawnSync('graphify', ['--help']) → execTool
- checkGraphifyVersion strategy 1: graphify --version via execTool
- checkGraphifyVersion strategy 2: python3 importlib.metadata via execTool

Adds env option to execTool — graphify needs PYTHONUNBUFFERED=1 to drain
buffered stdout on long-running operations.

Changes seam internals to access spawnSync/execFileSync via the non-destructured
childProcess module reference. Destructured imports capture references at load
time and are un-mockable by mock.method(childProcess, 'spawnSync', ...) — which
breaks all the graphify subprocess tests. Non-destructured access restores
mockability without changing public behavior.

* feat(shell-projection): execGit defaults to non-interactive git env (#3466)

Bakes GIT_TERMINAL_PROMPT=0 and GCM_INTERACTIVE=never into execGit's default
env. Without these, a credential prompt or terminal-input probe blocks the
git subprocess indefinitely until our 10s timeout kills it — surfacing as
a generic timeout instead of the actual auth-prompt cause.

These were previously set ad-hoc in worktree-safety.cjs's local execGitDefault
wrapper. Moving them to the seam makes them the consistent default for every
git call across the codebase. Callers can override via opts.env.

* refactor(shell-projection): remove core.cjs local execGit wrapper; migrate verify + worktree-safety (#3466)

Completes the Phase 2 "remove local execGit wrapper" criterion. All callers
now use the shell-projection seam's execGit(args, opts) signature directly.

- core.cjs: delete the local execGit wrapper and the execGit export. The
  isGitIgnored seam check now calls execGit from the seam. Worktree-safety
  function calls drop their execGit DI passthrough — worktree-safety's
  internal execGitDefault now delegates to the seam and adds timedOut.
- verify.cjs: 6 callers migrate from execGit(cwd, args) to
  execGit(args, { cwd }). Imports execGit from the seam directly. The
  inspectWorktreeHealth DI passes the seam's execGit (worktree-safety now
  matches that shape).
- worktree-safety.cjs: local execGitDefault becomes a thin adapter over
  the seam — no more direct spawnSync. 11 internal callers migrate to the
  new shape. DI contract for tests changes from (cwd, args) → (args, opts).
- graphify.cjs: 2 remaining execGit callers migrate from core.cjs (now
  removed) to the seam directly.
- test mocks updated in 3 worktree-safety test files to match the new
  (args, opts) DI shape — most mocks were shape-agnostic and required no
  changes; only those that destructured cwd/args needed updates.

GET SHIT 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, Kilo, Codex, Copilot, Cursor, Windsurf, and more.

Solves context rot — the quality degradation that happens as your AI fills its context window.

npm version npm downloads Tests Discord X (Twitter) $GSD Token GitHub stars License


npx get-shit-done-cc@latest

Works on Mac, Windows, and Linux.


GSD Install


"If you know clearly what you want, this WILL build it for you. No bs."

"I've done SpecKit, OpenSpec and Taskmaster — this has produced the best results for me."

"By far the most powerful addition to my Claude Code. Nothing over-engineered. Literally just gets shit done."


Trusted by engineers at Amazon, Google, Shopify, and Webflow.


Important

Returning to GSD?

Run /gsd-map-codebase to re-index your codebase, then /gsd-new-project to rebuild GSD's planning context. Your code is fine — GSD just needs its context rebuilt. See the CHANGELOG for what's new.


Why I Built This

I'm a solo developer. I don't write code — Claude Code does.

Other spec-driven tools exist, but they're all built for 50-person engineering orgs — sprint ceremonies, story points, stakeholder syncs, Jira workflows. I'm not that. I'm a creative person trying to build great things consistently.

So I built GSD. The complexity is in the system, not in your workflow. Behind the scenes: context engineering, XML prompt formatting, subagent orchestration, state management. What you see: a few commands that just work.

The system gives Claude everything it needs to do the work and verify it. I trust the workflow. It just does a good job.

— TÂCHES


How It Works

The loop is six commands. Each one does exactly one thing.

1. Initialize

/gsd-new-project

Questions → research → requirements → roadmap. You approve it, then you're ready to build.

Already have code? Run /gsd-map-codebase first. It analyzes your stack, architecture, and conventions so /gsd-new-project asks the right questions.

2. Discuss

/gsd-discuss-phase 1

Your roadmap has a sentence per phase. That's not enough to build it the way you imagine it. Discuss captures your decisions before anything gets planned: layouts, API shapes, error handling, data structures — whatever gray areas exist for this specific phase.

The output feeds directly into research and planning. Skip it, get reasonable defaults. Use it, get your vision.

3. Plan

/gsd-plan-phase 1

Research → plan → verify, in a loop until the plans pass. Each plan is small enough to execute in a fresh context window.

4. Execute

/gsd-execute-phase 1

Plans run in parallel waves. Each executor gets a fresh 200k-token context. Each task gets its own atomic commit. Walk away, come back to completed work with a clean git history.

Your main context window stays at 30–40%. The work happens in the subagents.

5. Verify

/gsd-verify-work 1

Walk through what was built. Anything broken gets a diagnosed fix plan — ready for immediate re-execution. You don't debug manually; you just run execute again.

6. Repeat → Ship

/gsd-ship 1
/gsd-complete-milestone
/gsd-new-milestone

Loop discuss → plan → execute → verify → ship until the milestone is done. Then archive, tag, and start the next one fresh.


Getting Started

npx get-shit-done-cc@latest

The installer prompts for your runtime (Claude Code, OpenCode, Gemini CLI, Kilo, Codex, Copilot, Cursor, Windsurf, and more) and whether to install globally or locally.

claude --dangerously-skip-permissions

GSD is built for frictionless automation. Skip-permissions is how it's intended to run.

Install only the skills you need with --profile=core (six core-loop skills), --profile=standard (core + phase management), or the default full install. Profiles compose: --profile=core,audit. --minimal is an alias for --profile=core. See docs/USER-GUIDE.md for the full walkthrough, non-interactive install flags for all 15 runtimes, and permissions configuration. See ADR-0011 for the profile model and runtime surface control.


Commands

The main loop:

Command What it does
/gsd-new-project Questions → research → requirements → roadmap
/gsd-discuss-phase [N] Capture implementation decisions before planning
/gsd-plan-phase [N] Research + plan + verify
/gsd-execute-phase <N> Execute plans in parallel waves
/gsd-verify-work [N] Manual acceptance testing
/gsd-ship [N] Create PR from verified phase work
/gsd-progress --next Auto-detect and run the next step
/gsd-complete-milestone Archive milestone and tag release
/gsd-new-milestone Start next version
/gsd:surface Enable/disable skill clusters at runtime without reinstall

For ad-hoc tasks, autonomous mode, codebase analysis, forensics, and the full command surface — see docs/COMMANDS.md.


Why It Works

Three things most AI-coding setups get wrong:

1. Context bloat. As a session grows, quality degrades. GSD keeps your main context clean by doing the heavy work in fresh subagent contexts. Researchers, planners, and executors each start fresh with exactly what they need.

2. No shared memory. GSD maintains structured artifacts that survive session boundaries: PROJECT.md (vision), REQUIREMENTS.md (scope), ROADMAP.md (where you're going), STATE.md (current position and decisions), CONTEXT.md (per-phase implementation decisions). Every new session loads these and knows exactly where things stand.

3. No verification. Code that "runs" isn't code that "works." GSD's verify step walks you through what was built, diagnoses failures with dedicated debug agents, and generates fix plans before you declare a phase done.

See docs/ARCHITECTURE.md for how the multi-agent orchestration and context engineering work in detail.


Configuration

Settings live in .planning/config.json. Configure during /gsd-new-project or update with /gsd-settings.

Key dials:

Setting What it controls
mode interactive (confirm each step) or yolo (auto-approve)
Model profiles quality / balanced / budget — controls which model each agent uses
workflow.research / plan_check / verifier Toggle the quality agents that add tokens and time
parallelization.enabled Run independent plans simultaneously

For the full configuration reference — all settings, git branching strategies, per-runtime model overrides, workstream config inheritance, agent skills injection — see docs/CONFIGURATION.md.

Troubleshooting

Commands not showing up? Restart your runtime after install. GSD installs to ~/.claude/skills/gsd-*/ (Claude Code), ~/.codex/skills/gsd-*/ (Codex), or the equivalent for your runtime.

Something broken? Re-run the installer — it's idempotent:

npx get-shit-done-cc@latest

Containers or Docker? Set CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR before installing to avoid tilde-expansion issues:

CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR=/home/youruser/.claude npx get-shit-done-cc --global
