* test(#4130): failing-first regressions for --context flag + parseDecisions hardening Block A (flag): check decision-coverage-plan --context <path> must route identically to the positional form; flag wins over positional context; valueless --context falls through to the #2770 fail-closed caller error; verify keeps its positional surface (flag is plan-only). RED on base: the flag token lands in the args[2] phase slot (false uncovered) or the args[3] context slot (silent CONTEXT.md-missing skip). Block B (hardening): regex-lattice asserts pin the atomic-ID wrapper (?=(X))\1 and the em-dash first-separator narrowing [^*—–]*[—–] plus the no-adjacent-overlap property; a differential property compares the module against a frozen copy of the pre-hardening grammars (reference validated against the base build: 60k generated lines, 0 mismatches); 40k cliff shapes assert correct outcomes with no wall-time asserts (repo rule). A12: partitionPredicateArgs keeps one parser behind parsePredicateFlags. * fix(#4130): --context flag for check decision-coverage-plan + quadratic-backtracking hardening in parseDecisions (A) check decision-coverage-plan --context <path> — sibling convention (check predicate, #2008): --flag value pairs parsed by the new shared partitionPredicateArgs (parsePredicateFlags reimplemented as its flags half — one parser, cannot diverge), the flag winning over a same-purpose positional, positionals kept (no sibling deprecates them; the plan-phase workflow caller passes positionals), valueless --context falls through to the #2770 fail-closed caller error. Repair of the routing accident where --context landed in the args[2] phase slot (false uncovered) or the literal token in the args[3] context slot (silent green skip). (B) parseDecisions regex seam hardened, byte-identical on all legal inputs: the three bullet grammars consume the ID atomically via the (?=(X))\1 lookahead emulation (kills the tail/[^:*]* O(n^2) re-split, ~1.1s @ 40k), and the em-dash first separator narrows [^*]*[—–] to [^*—–]*[—–] (kills the dash-position O(n^2) retry, ~1.7s @ 40k). Group indices unchanged (handlers untouched). Pinned by regex-lattice tests, a differential fast-check property vs the frozen pre-hardening grammars, and 40k cliff/legal-shape outcome tests (no wall-time asserts per repo rule — no deterministic engine step counter exists in Node). * docs+test(#4130): document --context invocation; harden lattice test tooling - docs/CONFIGURATION.md Decision Coverage Gates: new 'Invoking the plan gate directly' block documenting both the positional and --context forms, flag precedence, and the valueless-flag fail-closed semantics (same place the gate's behavior is documented; sibling check predicate documents its flags the same way). - Two changeset fragments per the maintainer brief (Added: flag; Fixed: hardening), PR numbers to be backfilled. - tests/decisions.test.cjs review fixes: readRegExpTemplate template escaping (bare ')' SyntaxError), range-aware lattice checker with backreference skip and template unescape, honest A1 contract, lint escape warning. * fix(#4130): valueless --context fails closed per #2770; A8 isolates flag-vs-positional context Suite-caught fixes from the first verify run: - cmdDecisionCoveragePlan now refuses a flag-shaped token as the positional context path: a bare valueless --context stays a positional (sibling parser semantics, unchanged) but reading it as a PATH would turn a caller mistake into a silent 'CONTEXT.md missing' green skip — exactly what #2770's fail-closed law forbids. Now falls through to the missing-context-argument error, as documented. - A8 test compares decoy-positional+flag against flag-with-phase (phase held constant) so the row isolates WHICH context was read; the old form compared against a no-phase invocation that could never match. * chore(#4130): backfill PR number in changeset fragments (PR #4374) --------- Co-authored-by: sim <sim@local>
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.
