* feat(#3218): the prompt layer asks the CLI for plan counts Seven sites across four workflows counted plans with ls and wc -l instead of asking the CLI. A shell glob is not scanPhasePlans, so every fix that landed on the owner missed all seven: they counted superseded plans as live, reported zero for the nested plans layout, and missed loosely-named files. The 1762 figure of 30 plans and 24 summaries came from here. phase find is extended rather than a verb added - 3218 is an enhancement whose own checklist says it adds no new command, and CONTRIBUTING makes a new verb a feature needing approved-feature. It gains plan_count and summary_count for the live set and plan_count_all for the physical one, additively; the existing arrays are untouched. Both sets are exposed because the sites need different ones. Amendment 1 names two cases; three of these sites ask a third - did the planner write files to disk - and take the physical set, because a superseded plan is still a file the planner wrote. The progress.md dead route is fixed and was worse than the issue said. It read .plans and .summaries arrays that roadmap.analyze has never emitted, so the fallback always fired, both counts were always zero, and Route 0's resume-incomplete-phase check had never fired at all. The ratchet baseline is empty. Its own stale-entry check makes that self-enforcing. Verified on the remote runner. * test(#3218): acknowledge the workflow growth and update the stale guard The emitted-attribution gate named its own remedy, so it was followed rather than pre-guessed: four workflow files grew between 200 and 770 bytes because each replaced a shell glob with a find-phase call plus its jq extraction. plan-phase grew most - two sites, and it takes the physical count for its did-the-planner- write-files question. progress also carries the Route 0 dead-path fix. plan-phase-drift-guard asserted the literal old ls shape. Updated rather than deleted: what it protects is that a filesystem fallback exists and is reachable, and that is intact. It is not a regression - gsd_run is already load-bearing throughout plan-phase.md long before step 9, so the 9a and 11a fallback never existed to survive gsd_run being unavailable; it guards against the planner subagent's return hanging. Three ack sources collided with the new fragment, which the gate treats as a hard error rather than last-wins. Only the three colliding keys were removed, not the 421 spent entries, and two fragments left entryless were deleted per the convention that an empty fragment signals nothing. Verified on the remote runner. * docs(#3218): document the live and physical plan counts docs/CLI-TOOLS.md gains a find-phase counts section covering plan_count and summary_count for the live set against plan_count_all for the physical one, plus the null-not-zero not-found behavior. The live-versus-physical distinction is spelled out because a caller picking the wrong one gets a plausible number, which is the trap Amendment 1 records. Changeset leads with what a user sees: progress and execute-plan stop counting superseded plans as outstanding, a nested plans layout stops reporting zero, and Route 0 resume routing starts working after never having worked. No how-to. Nothing is enabled and nothing is sequenced - the user runs the same command and the number is simply correct. The one new distinction is field semantics, which is what a reference entry is for. * chore(#3218): backfill changeset PR number pr:0 placeholder replaced with the real number now that #3327 exists. --------- 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.
