lint-vendored-deps.cjs gates gsd-core/bin/lib/vendor/{js-yaml.cjs,re2js.cjs}
for byte-freshness against node_modules and requires package.json's pin to
literally match the installed version. Dependabot regularly opens
lockfile-only PRs bumping these packages within the existing semver range,
which it can never satisfy (it has no awareness of the vendor copy or the
pin), so every such PR sits permanently red until a human manually runs the
refresh and pushes a fixup commit. PR #4565 was the latest instance.
Adds `--fix` to lint-vendored-deps.cjs (fixRow): mechanically re-copies the
upstream build artifact over the vendored .cjs/.d.cts twins and bumps the
manifest pin, preserving its range-operator style. It never touches a
hand-authored twin's declared type surface (js-yaml.d.cts) — a remaining
finding there means a real upstream API break, and --fix leaves it failing
rather than mask it.
Adds .github/workflows/dependabot-vendor-refresh.yml: on a same-repo
dependabot[bot] PR touching package.json/package-lock.json (same
defense-in-depth identity check as dependabot-auto-merge.yml), runs
`--fix` and, only on a clean result, commits and pushes the refresh back
to the PR branch via GSD_BOT_PR_TOKEN (falling back to GITHUB_TOKEN, same
pattern as auto-backmerge.yml) so the push re-triggers `synchronize` and
the real lint-vendored-deps check in test.yml genuinely re-passes. A
non-clean --fix result (real incompatibility) makes no commit, leaving
the actual failure visible for a human — this fixes the check's own
complaint, it does not bypass or weaken the check.
Closes #4573

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.
