* test(#1961): add failing-first bug-taxonomy routing contract tests Epic #1957 Phase 2B. Source-text-is-the-product contract tests (3 taxonomy classes, explicit class->technique routing table, Bohrbug->repro+SBFL+bisect, Heisenbug->record-replay/stability+SKIP-SBFL, Concurrency->atomicity/order/ deadlock checklist, bug_class in DEBUG Current Focus, supersede-not-append) plus a routing-table specification object pinning the documented decisions (SBFL forbidden on Heisenbug is the load-bearing 1B/2B seam). Failing-first: reference, Phase 1.75, and routing-table reframe do not yet exist. * feat(#1961): add bug-taxonomy classification + strategy routing to gsd-debugger Epic #1957 Phase 2B (reliability-critical). Adds Phase 1.75: classify the failure as Bohrbug / Heisenbug-Mandelbug / Concurrency, then route the investigation technique via an explicit class->technique table (Kernighan: no opaque heuristic). Bohrbug -> reproduction + SBFL (Phase 1.25) + git bisect; Heisenbug/Mandelbug -> record-replay (rr) + stability-stress + statistical sampling, with SBFL explicitly SKIPPED (a flaky spectrum poisons the Ochiai ranking — the load-bearing 1B/2B seam); Concurrency -> the atomicity/order/deadlock checklist first. Reframes (supersedes, not appends — Zawinski) the flat 'Technique Selection by situation' table into a class-routed table; the 11 techniques remain as routed targets. bug_class recorded in Current Focus (DEBUG template); common-bug- patterns catalog cross-referenced to the taxonomy. Full rules extracted to gsd-core/references/debugger-bug-taxonomy.md. INVENTORY + manifest + agent-size baseline + install-parity goldens + AGENTS.md updated. * fix(#1961): address orthogonal review (phase-name drift, General lane, revoke framing, row-scoped tests, bounding) - HIGH: reference said 'Phase 1B' (epic shorthand); corrected to the deployed 'Phase 1.25' (matches the agent + SBFL reference). - HIGH: 6 of 11 techniques (Rubber duck, Delta, Working backwards, Differential, Comment-out, Follow-the-indirection) were orphaned by the situation-table reframe. Added a 'General (any class, situation-cued)' lane to BOTH the reference routing table and the agent's Technique Selection table that re-homes them — supersede-not-append now holds. - MEDIUM: the SBFL-skip is structurally retroactive (Phase 1.25 runs before Phase 1.75 classification), so reframed the table column from 'Do NOT use' to 'Revoke if already run' + an explicit 'retroactive revocation, not proactive skip' note stating the ordering honestly. - MEDIUM: contract tests are now row-scoped (parse the table by class, assert per-row) instead of presence-only; added a guard that the previously- orphaned techniques now have a General-lane route. - LOW: pinned the canonical bug_class value form (lowercase-kebab: bohrbug|heisenbug-mandelbug|concurrency; prose may use title-case). - NIT: added a 'Bound the Heisenbug-chase runs' note (rr/stability/sampling timeouts) per the unbounded-subprocess gauntlet. * chore(#1961): backfill changeset pr number (PR #2407)
GSD Core documentation
Documentation is organised into four quadrants: tutorials help you learn by doing, how-to guides solve specific tasks, reference states authoritative facts, and explanation explores concepts and design decisions.
Language versions: English · Português (pt-BR) · 日本語 · 简体中文
Tutorials
- Your first project — install to first shipped phase, one guaranteed path
- Onboarding an existing codebase — bring GSD Core to a brownfield repo
- Build your first capability — author a tiny declarative capability and watch it act in the loop
- Install your first capability — install a third-party capability end-to-end: consent, verify, check for updates, remove
How-to guides
- Install on your runtime — runtime-specific install steps for all 16 supported runtimes
- Install a minimal GSD and add skills later — install only the core skills, then grow the surface with profiles and
/gsd:surface - Attach a plugin-provided skill to a GSD agent — use the
global:plugin:skillentry form to load Claude Code plugin skills into agent prompts - Discuss a phase — capture implementation decisions before planning begins
- Resolve edge-coverage findings — turn the spec phase's surfaced domain-boundary edges into covered, dismissed, or backstopped spec decisions
- Resolve prohibition findings — turn the spec phase's surfaced must-NOT constraints into resolved, dismissed, or deferred spec decisions
- Plan a phase — run research, decompose work, and verify plan quality
- Execute a phase — run plans in parallel waves with fresh-context subagents
- Verify and ship — walk through completed work, diagnose failures, and create the PR
- Run phases autonomously — use autonomous mode for unattended phase execution
- Handle quick and fast tasks — use
/gsd-quickand/gsd-fastfor ad-hoc work outside the phase loop - Configure model profiles — switch between quality, balanced, and budget model tiers
- Set up cross-AI review — configure a second AI to review code produced by the primary agent
- Work in parallel with workstreams — run independent lines of work simultaneously using workstreams
- Isolate work with workspaces — use workspaces to sandbox experimental or risky changes
- Debug a failed execution — diagnose and recover from broken or incomplete phase execution
- Spike and sketch — use
/gsd-spikeand/gsd-sketchfor exploratory work before committing to a plan - Design a UI phase — use the UI phase loop for frontend and visual work
- Develop a Capability for GSD 1.5+ — add feature Capabilities, hook fragments, and registry entries
- Add or update a host's integration — set a host's documentation-sourced
runtime.hostIntegrationaxes (ADR-1239 Phase A), with theundocumentedsentinel rule - Turn a capability off (and keep it off) — disable a capability via the surface, or gate individual hooks off without removing the capability
- Drive GSD from a tracker issue — start a phase from a GitHub, Linear, or Jira issue
- Migrate from GSD 2 — upgrade an existing GSD 2 project to GSD Core
- Update GSD — re-run the installer to pick up the latest release
- Clean up get-shit-done-cc — remove leftover old-package artifacts that cause a spurious
⬆ /gsd:updateindicator after migrating to@opengsd/gsd-core - Fix the worktree base-mismatch (exit 42) error — resolve the branch-divergence condition that halts parallel phase execution
- Recover and troubleshoot — fix common problems, rebuild context, and uninstall

Explanation
- Context engineering — how context rot forms and how GSD Core prevents it
- The phase loop — design rationale for the Discuss → Plan → Execute → Verify → Ship cycle
- Multi-agent orchestration — how subagents are spawned, scoped, and coordinated
- Security model — trust boundaries, permissions, and safe automation
- The capability trust model — why third-party capabilities are gated by consent + integrity + reversibility, not a sandbox
- How overlay capabilities compose — why first-party always wins and how the loader resolves precedence, conflicts, and fail-open load-failure warnings
- Architecture — system architecture, agent model, and data flow
- The Embeddable Orchestration System — one public, versioned contract for embedding GSD across many hosts
- Discuss modes — assumptions mode vs interview mode for
/gsd-discuss-phase - Context monitoring — context window monitoring hook architecture
- Issue-driven orchestration — recipe for driving GSD from a tracker issue using existing primitives
