* test(#2474): update dispatch gate test for dual-gate behavior The #2772 test asserted the gate reads USE_WORKTREES_FOR_PLAN only. Update to accept the dual-gate (USE_WORKTREES + USE_WORKTREES_FOR_PLAN). * fix(#2474): gate worktree dispatch on project-level USE_WORKTREES too The per-plan dispatch condition checked only USE_WORKTREES_FOR_PLAN (submodule-derived), ignoring the project-level USE_WORKTREES flag. Add USE_WORKTREES to the gate. Net-negative edit: compress two nearby prose lines to offset the added shell condition (93353 bytes, down from 93368). Closes #2474 * docs(#2474): backfill changeset PR number (2561) * fix: merge coverage gate into single-process check (#2474) The test:coverage:unit script chained two c8 invocations with &&: the first ran tests and wrote coverage data to .nyc_output/, the second read that data for per-file branch checks. On fast CI runners (ubuntu/24), the second process started before the filesystem flushed the first process's writes — a classic TOCTOU race that caused intermittent coverage gate failures. Replace the two-process chain with a single c8 invocation that generates both text and json-summary reports, followed by a Node script (scripts/check-coverage-gate.cjs) that reads the JSON summary once and checks both overall and per-file thresholds. No filesystem race is possible because the JSON report is fully written before the check script reads it.
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.
