* enhance(#1549): validate PR-title issue-ref convention at open time The release changelog is title-driven: release.yml generates "What's Changed" from PR titles, then format-github-release-notes.cjs buckets each line by its conventional-commit prefix and relies on a `(#<issue>)` in the title to render the issue link. Both rules were enforced only socially, so titles like `fix(core): ...` (no issue link) and `[security] fix(...): ...` (leading tag defeats the `^fix` bucket anchor -> mis-filed under Enhancement) silently broke the changelog, landing on the maintainer as release-time cleanup. Extract the title matcher into one shared module consumed by BOTH the changelog classifier and a new PR-title CI gate, so a title that passes the gate cannot mis-bucket in the changelog (single source of truth). - scripts/lib/conventional-title.cjs (new): classifyBucket + evaluatePrTitle + the anchored regexes. One matcher, two consumers. - scripts/release-notes/format-github-release-notes.cjs: classifyTitle now delegates to classifyBucket (behavior preserved; existing tests green). - .github/workflows/pr-title-validator.yml (new): runs evaluatePrTitle on pull_request opened/edited/reopened/synchronize, for ALL authors (the drift came from member PRs). Trusted base-ref checkout; WARN_ONLY knob for rollout. - tests/conventional-title.test.cjs (new): bucket + gate cases incl. the leading-tag mis-bucket (backfills the untested classifyTitle case) and a cross-check that the classifier delegates to the shared matcher. - CONTRIBUTING.md: document the `type(#<issue>):` rule and no-leading-tag. Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01UMV5Qr3H4oFikbuiEauGQk * fix(#1549): check out the PR in pr-title-validator so the new matcher resolves The workflow checked out the base branch (next) as a trusted policy source, but the shared matcher (scripts/lib/conventional-title.cjs) is introduced by this PR and does not exist on next yet — so require() failed and validate-title errored on its own introducing PR. Check out the PR's merge ref instead: the matcher under review is present, the check is self-consistent, and a fork pull_request runs read-only with no secrets, so running the PR's own pure-string regex is safe. * fix(#1549): move conventional-title.cjs out of installed scripts/lib/ bin/install.js bundles every file under scripts/lib/ into the user-installed payload (the changeset CLI's dependencies), and install.test.cjs (#935) asserts that exact set. The new matcher is release/CI tooling that must NOT ship to users, so placing it in scripts/lib/ both broke the install manifest test and would have shipped dead code. Relocate it next to its consumer in scripts/release-notes/ (which the installer does not copy) and update the three require paths (classifier, workflow, test) + the CONTRIBUTING reference. install.test.cjs now 125/125; conventional-title + release-notes suites green; lint:ci clean. * fix(#1549): load title matcher from trusted base ref, not PR code Addresses review (Solvely-Colin + trek-e): the gate checked out the PR merge ref and require()'d evaluatePrTitle from PR-controlled code, so any future PR could edit conventional-title.cjs to return { valid: true } and wave its own malformed title through — a self-bypassable required check. Load the matcher from a base-branch checkout instead (ref: github.event.pull_request.base.ref), the same trusted-policy-source pattern pr-target-validator.yml already uses. The PR can change its title but not the ruler that measures it. An existsSync bootstrap guard skips the check when the matcher isn't on the base branch yet (the introducing PR); every PR after merge is fully gated. This keeps the single shared matcher (#1549's whole point) rather than forking the regex into the workflow. Also per review: - add tests/conventional-title.property.test.cjs (fast-check): any `type(#n): summary` round-trips to valid; evaluatePrTitle/classifyBucket are total functions (never throw). - pin the `fix(#):` zero-digit boundary as missing-issue-ref.

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, Gemini 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, Gemini 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, Gemini 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 your first project:
/gsd-new-project

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.
