* enhance(#1872): document Claude Code advisor inheritance in model profiles Add an "Advisor Tool (Claude Code)" section to gsd-core/references/model-profiles.md: session-level advisor is inherited by all GSD subagents and composes with the per-agent profile/tier system, candidate executor/advisor pairings per profile (cost/quality/caching claims attributed to Anthropic's advisor-tool docs, not asserted as GSD behavior), when it is worth enabling vs not, and the session-level / no-per-agent-control constraint linking anthropics/claude-code#73072. Docs-only. Golden-install-parity fixtures recaptured for the edited reference file (hash-only, one line per runtime).

This PR only touches gsd-core/references/model-profiles.md, so there is no docs/ file to pair with and docs-lint failed. `Documentation` is the correct type for a docs-only enhancement and is exempt from the trigger. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(#1872): put docs-exempt marker on its own line, revert to type Changed The prior fix (type: Documentation) was invalid — parse.cjs ALLOWED_TYPES is {Added, Changed, Deprecated, Removed, Fixed, Security}, so both changeset-lint and docs-lint failed with invalid_type. Real root cause of the original docs-lint failure: DOCS_EXEMPT_RE is anchored to match the `<!-- docs-exempt: ... -->` marker only on its own line, but the marker was tacked onto the end of the prose line, so it was never captured (docsExempt: null) and the triggering `Changed` fragment had no docs/ pairing -> fail_docs_missing. Fix: keep the valid `type: Changed` and move the marker to its own line. Verified locally: changeset-lint -> ok_fragment_present, docs-lint -> ok (own-line marker parses to ok_fragments_exempt).

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, 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, Gemini 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, Gemini 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 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.
