A pre-push adversarial review refuted this round's own completeness claim, and it was right on all three counts. Fixes, in the order they matter: 1. The watch enumeration was still a hand-list, and it was measurably incomplete. It missed kilo's SINGULAR `command/`, hermes' `skills/gsd` (a whole directory whose name carries no `gsd-` prefix, so no prefix rule could ever reach it), `plugins/gsd-core.js`, and the unprefixed subtrees the installer fills -- `hooks/lib`, `hooks/package.json`, `scripts/lib`, `scripts/changeset`. The parents are now DERIVED from the capability registry's own artifactLayout.global destSubpath values, exactly as TEST_ENV_BASE derives its keys, plus a named list for the non-registry paths the installer writes directly. A capability declaring a new destination now extends the watch set in the commit that declares it. Scope note: only `global` is walked -- `workflows` is declared LOCAL-only (windsurf) and is not a config-root parent. 2. resolveExtraWatchTargets carried the identical ambient-only defect that Blocker 3 closed one function over: it resolved $GSD_HOME/.gsd and each kimi descriptor from the ambient env alone, so a child that BLANKED those vars wrote to the HOME-derived fallback while the guard watched the override. Both legs are now unioned, matching resolveLiveConfigRoots. 3. The order-independence claim for the scan budget was too strong. It holds BELOW the global ceiling; once MAX_TOTAL_ENTRIES is exhausted, which targets get curtailed still depends on iteration order -- inherent to any shared aggregate bound. The residual is now named in the docblock and the test title says which regime it pins, instead of asserting the general claim. Negative limits are clamped at 0 so an injected value cannot masquerade as a scan bound. The module's KNOWN GAP now names its remaining residuals (the loose generator scripts, the kimi native-root hook bundle) rather than implying completeness -- an unqualified claim here just invites the same refutation next round. Both under-watch, which fails quiet. Reverting the derivation fails two tests; reverting the fallback leg fails a third.
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.
