Migrate cmdStateSync, cmdStatePrune, cmdStateUpdate (state.cts) onto the STATE.md Transition Module substrate and close the maintenance bug pair #1760/#1761 (ADR-1769, epic #1769). Completes the substrate: all 10 lifecycle/maintenance transitions now route through transitionCore. - Add {kind: 'sync'|'prune'|'update'} to StateTransitionIntent with syncCore, pruneCore, updateCore in src/state-transition.cts. - updateCore: body-only single-field update (strip/reassemble), mirroring the pre-migration cmdStateUpdate contract. - pruneCore: pure content→content section pruning (Decisions / Recently Completed / resolved Blockers / Performance Metrics rows at or below cutoff), byte-identical tokenizeHeadings splicing. Adapter owns currentPhase, dry-run, and STATE-ARCHIVE.md. - syncCore: body writes (Total Plans in Phase, Progress bar, Last Activity) given disk-derived numbers. Adapter owns the disk scan + roadmap scope. - #1760: cmdStatePrune now derives currentPhase from 'Current Phase' OR 'Phase' (the canonical template emits 'Phase: X of Y'), so prune engages on template-conformant STATE.md instead of bailing 'Only 0 phases'. - #1761: cmdStateSync skips the Progress write (percent=null) when a milestone version is set in frontmatter but the ROADMAP has no versioned heading for it (milestone cannot be bounded). Projects without a milestone version are unaffected. Leaves progress untouched rather than silently writing fallback- derived wrong values. - Regression: bug-1760 (prune engages on template field) + bug-1761 (sync leaves progress untouched when unbounded). ADR-1769 marked Accepted. All 82 transition + 515 regression tests pass. Closes #1793
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, Gemini 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, Gemini 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, Gemini 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 your first project:
/gsd-new-project

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.
