* fix(#4459): anchor update_codebase_map's diff base on the phase directory execute-plan.md's update_codebase_map step derived its diff base from: git log --oneline --grep="feat({phase}-{plan}):" ... --reverse | head -1 A phase number is unique within a MILESTONE, not a repository (#3995). `--reverse | head -1` deliberately selects the OLDEST matching commit subject, so on a milestone that reuses a phase number, the diff base lands in the PREVIOUS milestone's same-numbered phase -- silently widening the file list that then drives which .planning/codebase/*.md files get amended, with no warning and nothing downstream that would notice. This is the same defect class already fixed at two other sites in this repo (code-review.md, structural-pre-pass.md) via a phase-DIRECTORY anchor instead of a commit-subject grep: PHASE_START = the first commit that ADDED anything under the phase directory, diffing from its parent (or the commit itself on a root commit). Mirrored that exact pattern here rather than inventing a new one. Added tests/execute-plan-update-codebase-map-diff-base.test.cjs: static regression guards (old grep gone, new #3995-shaped anchor present) plus a real-execution test reproducing the issue's own scenario -- two milestones reusing a phase number with a real constructed git fixture, extracting and running the step's actual bash fence, asserting the resulting diff is scoped to the current milestone's files only. Emitted-Drift-Ack-Growth: execute-plan.md — #4459 replaces the unbounded commit-subject grep with the phase-directory anchor already used by code-review.md/structural-pre-pass.md, net +687 bytes Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(#4459): cite this issue in the new file's allow-test-rule marker gsd-test caught tests/lint-allow-test-rule-refs.test.cjs failing: the new test file's `// allow-test-rule: source-text-is-the-product` comment (copied from the two sibling precedent files) was missing the required issue-ref suffix -- ADR-456 requires a NEW exemption to cite an issue via `#NNN` on the same comment line. Added `(see #4459)`. Verified via `node scripts/lint-allow-test-rule-refs.cjs` directly (clean) before re-running the full suite.

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.
