#2821 reworked parsePhaseFromProse's NAME precedence (dash-vs-paren choice, status-keyword tails, `Milestone:` tails, paren-stripped separator search, the lone-ALL-CAPS-tail rule) but shipped it pinned only by hand-picked examples. The two pre-existing property blocks cover phase-token ANCHORING (#2111) and "N of M" phase extraction; neither touches name precedence. This adds nine properties over the canonical parser. P1 and P9 are the delta guards: both fail against the pre-#2821 paren-first parser (proved with a standalone mutation harness), because each requires a genuine em-dash name to win over a co-present parenthetical. P9 additionally exercises the paren-stripped separator search, since the losing parenthetical itself contains an em-dash. P2-P4 are characterization tests for precedence contracts both parser versions satisfy; P5-P8 pin totality and phase-token extraction, which #2821 left alone. The section comment states which is which so a future reader does not mistake the characterization tests for delta guards. The generator's status-word exclusion filter is a test-local mirror of the private, unexported STATUSY_TAIL_RE. A divergence-guard test pins that mirror to observable parser behavior (not source text, which the no-source-grep rule forbids), so an implementation vocabulary change fails loudly instead of silently weakening every property that depends on the filter. Also clears six pre-existing no-unused-vars lint warnings surfaced by the lint run for this change (dead bindings in four unrelated test files, deleted rather than underscore-renamed); removing the never-called openCodeBlock helper cascaded to its now-unused fs/path/reviewPath consts in both fold scopes.

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.
