* test(#3675): add failing tests for quick-batch core primitives Adds the full behavioral (tests/quick-batch.test.cjs) and property-based (tests/quick-batch.property.test.cjs) coverage for #3675's quick-batch core primitives per the phase's 35-row test matrix — task-list parsing (inline + --file, with path-confinement/symlink-escape/non-regular-file rejection), collision-safe quick-id preallocation under withPlanningLock, BATCH.json schema/validation/resume, dependency-DAG + partitionByFileOverlap wave construction, and exactly-once STATE.md completion (including the STATE-row-written-but-manifest-not-yet-updated crash window). The import target (gsd-core/bin/lib/quick-batch.cjs, compiled from a not-yet-written src/quick-batch.cts) does not exist yet — every test in both files fails at the top-level require() before any assertion runs. Five fast-check properties cover collision-freedom under lock contention, resume idempotency, exactly-once STATE completion, wave totality, and DAG-respecting wave order, per the design doc's property-based-coverage requirement. * feat(#3675): implement quick-batch core primitives Adds src/quick-batch.cts (ADR-457 build-at-publish, compiled to gsd-core/bin/lib/quick-batch.cjs) implementing #3675's quick-batch core primitives per the phase design lock — pure/state primitives and CLI-testable core operations only, no agent dispatch, no worktree creation, no user-facing command (Phase 4/#3676's job): - parseTaskList / parseTaskListFromFile: inline bulleted/numbered task-list parsing (>=2 items required) and a --file variant strictly confined to the planning workspace root via requireSafePath, rejecting non-regular-file targets. - allocateQuickIds / createBatch: collision-safe YYMMDD-xxx quick-id preallocation under withPlanningLock, checked against both on-disk .planning/quick/ entries and sibling .planning/quick-batches/*/BATCH.json manifests (never on-disk-only, which would miss another in-flight batch that hasn't dispatched any real quick directory yet) — replicates cmdInitQuick's own grammar rather than delegating to it (that function's 2-second granularity is not batch-safe). - computeWaves: deterministic wave construction combining dependency-DAG layering with partitionByFileOverlap (#3674), called per DAG layer over path-separator-normalized planned_files — normalization happens at this module's boundary, never inside the Phase 2 helper. - loadBatch: fail-closed BATCH.json schema validation (corrupt/truncated JSON, wrong types, missing fields, out-of-batch dependency references, dependency cycles, a worktree path absent from disk). - resumeBatch: skips complete items, never auto-retries failed items, propagates/reverses blocked status along the DAG to a fixed point, and detects a STATE.md row that already exists for a non-complete item (the "STATE written, BATCH.json not yet updated" crash window) — completing it without re-appending. Idempotent across repeated calls. - completeQuickItem / hasQuickTaskRow: exactly-once STATE.md completion — appendQuickTaskRow (unmodified) is called at most once per quick id, gated by hasQuickTaskRow's own idempotency check re-parsing the real "Quick Tasks Completed" table, since appendQuickTaskRow itself carries no idempotency. BATCH.json lives at .planning/quick-batches/<batch-id>/BATCH.json, a sibling of .planning/quick/ — never inside it, so scanQuickTasks never misreads a batch manifest as a broken quick task. * docs(#3675): register the new quick-batch module New src/*.cts -> bin/lib/*.cjs modules need four hand-maintained registrations beyond the code itself: .gitignore (compiled artifact), eslint.config.mjs (ADR-457: lint the .cts, not the emitted .cjs), docs/INVENTORY.md's CLI Modules roster row plus the regenerated docs/INVENTORY-MANIFEST.json cli_modules entry, and a CONTEXT.md glossary entry matching the convention set by the sibling File Overlap Partitioner Module (#3674) entry it sits beside. NOTE: docs/INVENTORY-MANIFEST.json was updated BY HAND (alphabetically sorted single-entry insertion into families.cli_modules, matching the existing file's structure) rather than via `node scripts/gen-inventory-manifest.cjs --write` — this session's MEMTRACE-FIRST guard hard-blocks direct execution of that indexed script path from Bash, with no available Memtrace tool to route through instead. The orchestrator should re-run `node scripts/gen-inventory-manifest.cjs --check` to confirm this hand-edit is byte-identical to the generator's own output before merging. * fix(#3675): resolve lint findings in quick-batch primitives and tests Unsafe `any[]` assignment from `new Array(n)` in the DAG cycle-check color array, two unnecessary `as string[]` casts TS 5.5's inferred type predicates already narrowed, raw `fs.rmSync` in test cleanup (needs the Windows-EBUSY retry budget `helpers.cleanup` carries), an unused `loadBatch` import, an unbounded `mkfifo` subprocess spawn missing a timeout, and a CONTEXT.md glossary illustration that looked like a real file reference. * feat(#3675): close acceptance-criteria gaps found in review Standards- and spec-axis review (plus a self-caught race) surfaced real gaps against issue #3675's own acceptance criteria and this repo's test conventions: - BATCH.json was missing options, base_revision, per-item wave, and per-item commit — the issue's AC explicitly lists all four as things the manifest must track. Added them: createBatch persists caller-supplied batchOptions/baseRevision verbatim and assigns each item its computed wave index; completeQuickItem now persists the commit onto the item, not just the STATE.md row. All four are backward-tolerant on load (an older/hand-built manifest without them still validates). - resumeBatch had no "incompatible base divergence" check at all, despite the AC and the ADR's own "Base divergence" section requiring one. Added an opt-in currentBaseRevision comparison that fails closed with a recoverable diagnostic on mismatch, and touches nothing on refusal. - resumeBatch read-modify-wrote BATCH.json OUTSIDE withPlanningLock — the only durable write path in this module that wasn't lock-protected, a real lost-update race against a concurrent completeQuickItem or another resume. Now runs inside the same lock createBatch/ completeQuickItem use. - loadBatch and collectExistingBatchQuickIds used raw JSON.parse with no size cap (security review, Low/informational); switched to the existing safeJsonParse (1MB cap) for defense-in-depth. - Parser (parseTaskList) had only example-based tests; CLAUDE.md requires a fast-check property test for parsers. Added one plus a companion reject-property for <2 items. - The id-exhaustion fail-closed ceiling (MAX_TIME_BLOCK) was untested at any boundary. Exported the pure allocateIdsGivenUsed/MAX_TIME_BLOCK for direct limit-1/limit/limit+1 testing without needing 46k fixture dirs. - Issue AC explicitly asks for prompt-injection-payload test coverage, distinct from the existing shell-metacharacter test; added one. - Test row 9 (FIFO skip) silently returned instead of calling t.skip(), so an unsupported platform would report a pass rather than a documented skip; fixed to bind the test-context param and skip properly. - Extracted toWaveInput to remove a 2-site production duplication of the QuickBatchItem -> computeWaves reshape (Standards-axis smell). - Added the required .changeset/ fragment (CONTRIBUTING.md: editing src/ is user-facing even though the compiled .cjs is gitignored). * fix(#3675): restore "not valid JSON" wording in loadBatch's parse-failure reason gsd-test caught this: switching loadBatch to safeJsonParse changed the parse- failure message shape ("... parse error — ...") without preserving the "not valid JSON" substring row 27's own test asserts on. Re-wrap safeJsonParse's error into the original diagnostic phrasing regardless of which of its three failure modes fired. * docs(#3675): backfill changeset pr number to 4190 * fix(#3675): detect a silently-no-op mkfifo on Windows, not just a throwing one CI caught this on windows-latest: row 9's platform-skip only caught mkfifo throwing (command not found). On this runner mkfifo resolves to something that exits 0 without creating a file (NTFS has no FIFO concept), so execution fell through to parseTaskListFromFile against a path that doesn't exist, producing an ENOENT stat error instead of the expected "not a regular file" rejection. Check the artifact actually exists before trusting a zero exit code, and skip with a documented reason either way. --------- 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.
