* test(#3585): repo-wide guard for unguarded .planning/ git add Replaces the two-file #1783 scan, which required .planning/ on the git add line and so was structurally blind to fast.md's `git add -A` and to new-milestone.md (never scanned). Extracts the shell tokenizer, comment-position rule and gsd-scan-ignore marker from the #2269 guard into tests/helpers/shipped-command-scan.cjs so both guards consume one implementation. Commit-specific logic stays in commit-files-pathspec.test.cjs; every pre-existing test there passes unedited. Fails RED on five sites: fast.md:58, new-milestone.md:262, spec-phase.md:480, eval-review.md:148, ai-integration-phase.md:263. The last three carry a markdown prose conditional outside the bash block it claims to guard. * fix(#3585): close raw-git bypasses of the commit_docs gate Five shipped workflow steps staged .planning/ with raw git. Two had no check at all; three had a markdown prose conditional sitting outside the bash block it claimed to guard, so the block ran unconditionally. spec-phase, eval-review and ai-integration-phase now route through the gsd_run query commit seam, which performs the commit_docs and gitignore checks internally and returns a skipped envelope -- this deletes the raw git pair rather than wrapping it. new-milestone stages directories for a later commit and cannot use the seam, so it takes the executable guard form, fail-open on a tooling error. fast writes no planning artifacts and has no gsd_run in scope at that point, so it excludes .planning via pathspec instead of reading config. Guard now reports 0 offenders. * test(#3585): pin skipped_gitignored to production behavior COMMIT_REASON was a test-local frozen enum joined to production only by a hand-maintained keep-in-sync comment -- the Generative Fix Divergence class, whose required remedy is a parity assertion. B1-B3 already pinned SKIPPED_COMMIT_DOCS_FALSE. SKIPPED_GITIGNORED was pinned by nothing: production could rename it and every test still passed. G1-G3 drive the gitignore auto-detect path and assert the canonical reason. The fixture must OMIT .planning/config.json entirely -- with config.json present the loader resolves commit_docs to false first and cmdCommit returns skipped_commit_docs_false, never reaching its own isGitIgnored branch. * docs(#3585): document the planning commit gate and its guard CONTEXT.md had zero commit_docs entries. Adds a Planning Commit Gate glossary entry covering the resolution chain, the typed skip envelope, the measured ordering of the two reason codes, and why the gate is enforceable only as a text guard. CONTRIBUTING.md gains the contributor rule for the new guard, with the prose-is-not-a-guard example that caused three of the five defects. * fix(#3585): address review findings in the planning-add guard Spec review (blocker): fast.md excluded .planning unconditionally, changing behavior for commit_docs=true users and violating epic AC4. Now gated -- the launcher preamble was MOVED from log_to_state into the commit block rather than copied, so gsd_run is in scope for +4 lines instead of +4KB, and the else branch is byte-identical to the previous git add -A. Security review (major): git -C <dir> add was a false negative because the flag-skip loop never modelled flags that consume a separate value. Fixed for -C/-c/--git-dir/--work-tree/--namespace. The fail-closed rule now also covers $(...) substitution args and --pathspec-from-file, which were opaque in the same way $VAR is. git commit -a/-am is now classified as reaching, since it stages every tracked modification. Self-review: isSkippable treated any NAME= token as a skippable prefix, so V=$(git add -A) escaped -- the exact divergence the shared-helper extraction existed to prevent. Adopted the sibling predicate verbatim. eval, xargs, one-line function bodies and line-continuation remain blind and are now enumerated as declared limits in the guard docblock and CONTRIBUTING. The ifDepth clamp is defensive only: a 200k-case differential fuzz found no reproducing input, so its test is labeled a pin, not a failing-first test. * test(#3585): acknowledge emitted growth in three workflow files emitted-attribution has two arms: hash attribution AND per-file growth. The growth arm needs an acknowledgment even when every moved byte is attributable to the diff, which is why the first remote run went red on it. fast.md +417: the launcher preamble moved into the commit block so gsd_run is in scope for the commit_docs guard, plus the guard itself. new-milestone.md +281: the executable guard plus one line recording that the unstaged archive move is deliberate. spec-phase.md +21: reworded prose describing the skipped envelope. eval-review.md and ai-integration-phase.md shrank; no entry needed. * test(#3585): drop duplicate spec-phase ack, shrink its prose instead The base already acknowledges spec-phase.md (from #2733), and two ack sources may never name the same path. But a base-side ack is SPENT -- it cannot clear new growth -- so the two gates were in direct conflict: attribution wanted an ack, the ack lint forbade one. Resolved by removing the growth rather than the conflict. spec-phase.md's +21 was purely a prose reword; rewritten shorter, the file now shrinks 36 bytes against base and needs no acknowledgment at all. fast.md and new-milestone.md have no base ack and keep theirs. * chore(#3585): backfill changeset pr number to 3590 --------- 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

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.
