Net-new EoS/pi installable runtime — purely additive (no prior runtime==='pi'
branches). pi is a bun-runtime programmatic-CLI whose /gsd command is registered
by a native ExtensionAPI extension and dispatches through the embedded engine.
Stage 1 (install plumbing):
- capabilities/pi/capability.json: full hostIntegration descriptor (imperative /
slash-programmatic / active-model / native-extension / bun) + hostBehaviors
{nativePlugin, pluginOnlyInstall}.
- --pi flag + interactive-menu renumber (All 17->18); pi added to RUNTIME_FLAG_IDS,
RUNTIME_LABELS, RUNTIME_META, allRuntimes/runtimeMap, model-catalog defaults.
- Install mirrors OpenCode: pi installs the gsd.cjs extension + the shared engine
payload (gsd-core + scripts + config markers) + the shared hooks bundle (spawned
by the extension at lifecycle events, like OpenCode's plugin). pluginOnlyInstall
EXCLUDES declarative command/agent/skill markdown, which pi has no host-read
surface for (its /gsd is programmatic). _installNativePluginIfDeclared (extracted
from the opencode-family path) copies pi/gsd.cjs -> ~/.pi/agent/extensions/gsd.cjs
(global) / .pi/extensions/ (local). pi added to package.json files.
- Golden: new pi.json (320 files: extension + engine + 27-file hooks bundle, no
markdown); the 16 other fixtures + claude-local change only by the shared
model-catalog hash line.
Stage 2 (real dispatch + upgrades):
- Shared dispatchGsdCommand() (shell-command-projection): bounded, no-throw
subprocess-shim to gsd-tools.cjs (the only full-surface dispatch path; no
in-process full-hub factory exists). Fixes pi/gsd.cjs's createHub()-no-args bug
(every dispatch was UnknownCommand) AND the identical bug in mcp-server.cts's
gsd_invoke_command, which a vacuous unknown-family-only test had masked (now has
a real dispatch regression test).
- pi/gsd.cjs: /gsd handler now (args, ctx) - tokenizes (quote-aware, via the
shipped hooks/lib/git-cmd.js) + dispatches real family/subcommand (not hardcoded
query/help); gsd_invoke gets a TypeBox (JSON-schema-fallback) parameters schema +
consumes params; getArgumentCompletions; before_provider_request active-model
steering (fail-open on null resolution); functional session_start /
before_agent_start / session_before_compact hook bridges (spawn the shipped GSD
hook scripts).
- EXTENSION_EVENT_SURFACES.pi expanded from ['tool_call'] to the full 30-event
vocabulary.

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.
