* fix(#813): apply per-runtime skill path rewrites in applySurface applySurface() re-staged skill artifacts but, unlike installRuntimeArtifacts(), never applied the per-runtime path rewrites. So /gsd:surface (profile/enable/disable/reset) overwrote installed SKILL.md bodies with the converter's default ~/.claude paths instead of the install target (pathPrefix), silently regressing skill path references for every skillsKind runtime until the next reinstall. applySurface now mirrors installRuntimeArtifacts: for kind.kind === 'skills' it derives pathPrefix the same way and applies applyRuntimeContentRewritesInPlace on the staged dir before syncing. - bin/install.js: export applyRuntimeContentRewritesInPlace - runtime-artifact-layout.cts: carry resolved scope on Layout; export getInstallExports; type computePathPrefix/applyRuntimeContentRewritesInPlace on InstallExports - surface.cts: lazily derive pathPrefix (only when a skills kind exists) and apply the rewrite via the shared getInstallExports accessor — single source of truth with install, only skills kinds rewritten (matches install) - tests: regression test parameterized over cursor + codex asserting post-applySurface bodies carry the install pathPrefix, not ~/.claude - CONTEXT.md: glossary updated for the applySurface rewrite parity + scope seam Closes #813 Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com> * chore(#813): add changeset fragment for PR #817 Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com> * test(#813): normalize configDir prefix to forward slashes for Windows CI The #813 regression assertion compared skill bodies against a raw ${configDir}/ prefix, but production derives pathPrefix via path.resolve(configDir).replace(/\\/g, '/'). On Windows, mkdtempSync returns backslash paths while the rewritten body uses forward slashes, so the assertion would fail Windows-only (not covered by local gsd-test). Normalize the expected prefix the same way production does. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com> --------- Co-authored-by: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>
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:
- 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, 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.
