* enh(#2876): retire the dead and pass-through exports from bin/install.js The installer exported 197 names and had zero production consumers - every non-test require of it repo-wide sits inside a comment. Its interface was shaped by test access, not by callers. Removes 9 dead exports and 61 pass-throughs, repointing their tests onto the extracted modules' own interfaces. 197 down to 127. Every count in the issue was wrong: 197 exports not 188, 9 dead not 12, 61 pass-throughs not 49, 44 test files not 42 - and the audit itself then missed 7 more consumer files. restoreUserArtifacts was on the dead list but ceased to exist in phase 6, and two _GSD_EFFORT_MANIFEST_* names listed as dead are now genuinely asserted, so acting on that list would have deleted live exports. 7 of the 9 dead names collide with an independent declaration that install.js delegates TO. Each removal was justified by which declaration a reference resolves to, never by whether the name appears somewhere. Coverage parity was the gate rather than test greenness: per-file counts were captured before any edit and diffed after. 44 of 45 files are byte-identical; the single delta is one added assertion, not a loss. The sweep for scattered require sites found two forms static grep misses - require(VARIABLE) and multi-line require() - plus tests asserting that install.js re-exports the SAME object, which now assert retirement instead. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(#2876): close review findings — restore the duplicate-body guard, sweep orphaned code Both review engines found real defects in the first cut. The DEFECT.GENERATIVE-FIX single-owner guard from #1511 had been repointed from a reference-identity check to install.X === undefined. Those are not equivalent: the guard exists to catch a duplicate function body reintroduced into install.js, and the replacement passes cleanly if that duplicate is used internally and never exported. It now walks bin/install.js's real top-level bindings, so it catches a duplicate under either shape, exported or not - strictly stronger than the check it replaced. Proved by injecting a duplicate and watching it go red. That weakening survived the coverage-parity gate because the assertion count never moved. The gate compares counts, so an assertion that changes meaning rather than number is invisible to it. Removing the exports had orphaned their wrapper bodies: 14 dead wrappers, 9 consts and 9 destructure entries, several pre-existing and found by the same sweep. Dead code left in the file this phase exists to shrink. Three more comments claimed re-exports this phase removed, and tests were reading Cursor and Windsurf hook constants from install.js's local copy while calling functions from the hooks surface - equal today, with nothing holding them equal. The local consts now reference the owning module.

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.
