Tom Boucher 7e1112c28f refactor(#56): retire legacy runtime directory helpers into runtime-homes projection (#802)
* refactor(#56): retire legacy runtime directory helpers into runtime-homes projection

Consolidate per-runtime global config-dir resolution onto the single
canonical projection runtime-homes:getGlobalConfigDir. Extend it with the
explicitDir override (CLI --config-dir) and the opencode/kilo
OPENCODE_CONFIG/KILO_CONFIG file-path precedence the installer helpers had,
making it byte-for-behavior equivalent to the old getGlobalDir across all
15 install runtimes.

Delete bin/install.js's getGlobalDir/getOpencodeGlobalDir/getKiloGlobalDir
(and the orphaned local expandTilde), repoint all 9 call-sites, and remove
getGlobalDir from module.exports (net -242 lines in the installer). Migrate
the 5 test importers to the canonical projection; harden default/XDG
assertions against ambient *_CONFIG env vars. getAgentsDir now respects
OPENCODE_CONFIG/KILO_CONFIG consistently with the installer (intentional
convergence). Update CONTEXT.md Installer Module entry.

Completes the installer-refactor chain #58 -> #60 -> #56.

Closes #56

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, 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, 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:

  1. Discuss — capture implementation decisions before anything is planned
  2. Plan — research, decompose, and verify the plan fits a fresh context window
  3. Execute — run plans in parallel waves; each executor starts with a clean 200k-token context
  4. Verify — walk through what was built; diagnose and fix before declaring done
  5. 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, 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.
