* test(3659): add regression tests for applySurface skill-dir pruning on cluster disable Tests that applySurface with claude global scope correctly prunes ~/.claude/skills/gsd-STEM/ dirs for disabled clusters, preserves gsd-STEM dirs in enabled clusters, leaves non-gsd user dirs untouched, and is idempotent across two consecutive calls. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(3659): applySurface now prunes ~/.claude/skills/gsd-STEM/ on cluster disable Root cause: surface.md directed the AI to use RUNTIME_CONFIG_DIR=~/.claude/skills (the skills sub-directory) instead of the base Claude config dir (~/.claude). When runtimeConfigDir=~/.claude/skills and scope=global, the layout computes dest=~/.claude/skills/skills — the wrong target — so pruning never reached the actual gsd-STEM dirs in ~/.claude/skills/. Fix: - surface.md: correct RUNTIME_CONFIG_DIR to use the base config dir (~/.claude), add explicit SCOPE=global, and update all path references in execution_context. Surface state file moves from ~/.claude/skills/.gsd-surface.json to ~/.claude/.gsd-surface.json, matching install/uninstall conventions. - surface.cjs: extract pruneSkillDirs() as a shared helper (single point of truth for gsd-STEM dir removal). _syncGsdDir now delegates to it instead of having the ownership/prune logic inline. Export pruneSkillDirs for callers that need stand-alone pruning without a full applySurface pass. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com> * chore(3659): update changeset to reference PR #3766 * fix(3659): manifest-membership gate on pruneSkillDirs prevents user gsd-* dir data loss Finding 1 (CRITICAL): the prefixed branch previously deleted any on-disk dir that matched the 'gsd-' prefix and was not in retainedNames. A user-created gsd-mything/ would be silently destroyed. Fix: deletion now requires BOTH prefix match AND manifest membership (stem present in manifest). Dirs that match the prefix but are not manifest-known are preserved with a process.stderr warning so the user knows the dir was kept. Finding 2 (type guard): the Hermes (empty-prefix) branch passed manifest directly to new Set([...manifest.keys()]) without verifying it is actually a Map. A truthy non-Map would throw. Fix: safeManifest = (manifest instanceof Map) ? manifest : null, used in both branches. Non-Map manifest triggers the same conservative no-deletions path already used when manifest is absent. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com> * test(3659): counter-test for all-clusters-disabled + user gsd-* dir preservation Finding 3: add test (e) that disables every cluster (Object.keys(CLUSTERS)) and asserts three things: 1. All GSD-owned skill dirs (gsd-explore/, gsd-help/) are removed. 2. Non-gsd user dir (my-custom-skill/) is preserved. 3. User-created gsd-mything/ (prefix match, not in manifest) is preserved — this is the critical regression guard for the Finding 1 data-loss fix. Also update the existing _syncGsdDir skills-kind test in surface-apply.test.cjs to pass a manifest that declares old-skill as GSD-owned. Without a manifest the new conservative path correctly preserves all unknown gsd-* dirs, which broke the pre-existing no-manifest assertion; supplying the manifest restores the expected pruning behavior and documents the required calling contract.

GET SHIT 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.
Solves context rot — the quality degradation that happens as your AI fills its context window.
npx get-shit-done-cc@latest
Works on Mac, Windows, and Linux.
"If you know clearly what you want, this WILL build it for you. No bs."
"I've done SpecKit, OpenSpec and Taskmaster — this has produced the best results for me."
"By far the most powerful addition to my Claude Code. Nothing over-engineered. Literally just gets shit done."
Trusted by engineers at Amazon, Google, Shopify, and Webflow.

Returning to GSD?
Run
/gsd-map-codebaseto re-index your codebase, then/gsd-new-projectto rebuild GSD's planning context. Your code is fine — GSD just needs its context rebuilt. See the CHANGELOG for what's new.
Why I Built This
I'm a solo developer. I don't write code — Claude Code does.
Other spec-driven tools exist, but they're all built for 50-person engineering orgs — sprint ceremonies, story points, stakeholder syncs, Jira workflows. I'm not that. I'm a creative person trying to build great things consistently.
So I built GSD. The complexity is in the system, not in your workflow. Behind the scenes: context engineering, XML prompt formatting, subagent orchestration, state management. What you see: a few commands that just work.
The system gives Claude everything it needs to do the work and verify it. I trust the workflow. It just does a good job.
— TÂCHES
How It Works
The loop is six commands. Each one does exactly one thing.
1. Initialize
/gsd-new-project
Questions → research → requirements → roadmap. You approve it, then you're ready to build.
Already have code? Run
/gsd-map-codebasefirst. It analyzes your stack, architecture, and conventions so/gsd-new-projectasks the right questions.
2. Discuss
/gsd-discuss-phase 1
Your roadmap has a sentence per phase. That's not enough to build it the way you imagine it. Discuss captures your decisions before anything gets planned: layouts, API shapes, error handling, data structures — whatever gray areas exist for this specific phase.
The output feeds directly into research and planning. Skip it, get reasonable defaults. Use it, get your vision.
3. Plan
/gsd-plan-phase 1
Research → plan → verify, in a loop until the plans pass. Each plan is small enough to execute in a fresh context window.
4. Execute
/gsd-execute-phase 1
Plans run in parallel waves. Each executor gets a fresh 200k-token context. Each task gets its own atomic commit. Walk away, come back to completed work with a clean git history.
Your main context window stays at 30–40%. The work happens in the subagents.
5. Verify
/gsd-verify-work 1
Walk through what was built. Anything broken gets a diagnosed fix plan — ready for immediate re-execution. You don't debug manually; you just run execute again.
6. Repeat → Ship
/gsd-ship 1
/gsd-complete-milestone
/gsd-new-milestone
Loop discuss → plan → execute → verify → ship until the milestone is done. Then archive, tag, and start the next one fresh.
Getting Started
npx get-shit-done-cc@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.
claude --dangerously-skip-permissions
GSD is built for frictionless automation. Skip-permissions is how it's intended to run.
Install only the skills you need with --profile=core (six core-loop skills), --profile=standard (core + phase management), or the default full install. Profiles compose: --profile=core,audit. --minimal is an alias for --profile=core. See docs/USER-GUIDE.md for the full walkthrough, non-interactive install flags for all 15 runtimes, and permissions configuration. See ADR-0011 for the profile model and runtime surface control.
Current release highlights are in docs/RELEASE-v1.42.1.md: package legitimacy checks, safer installer migrations, runtime surface control, custom ship PR sections, reviewer defaults, fallow structural review, and quota-aware execution recovery.

Why It Works
Three things most AI-coding setups get wrong:
1. Context bloat. As a session grows, quality degrades. GSD keeps your main context clean by doing the heavy work in fresh subagent contexts. Researchers, planners, and executors each start fresh with exactly what they need.
2. No shared memory. GSD maintains structured artifacts that survive session boundaries: PROJECT.md (vision), REQUIREMENTS.md (scope), ROADMAP.md (where you're going), STATE.md (current position and decisions), CONTEXT.md (per-phase implementation decisions). Every new session loads these and knows exactly where things stand.
3. No verification. Code that "runs" isn't code that "works." GSD's verify step walks you through what was built, diagnoses failures with dedicated debug agents, and generates fix plans before you declare a phase done.
See docs/ARCHITECTURE.md for how the multi-agent orchestration and context engineering work in detail.
Configuration
Settings live in .planning/config.json. Configure during /gsd-new-project or update with /gsd-settings.
Key dials:
| Setting | What it controls |
|---|---|
mode |
interactive (confirm each step) or yolo (auto-approve) |
| Model profiles | quality / balanced / budget — controls which model each agent uses |
workflow.research / plan_check / verifier |
Toggle the quality agents that add tokens and time |
parallelization.enabled |
Run independent plans simultaneously |
Optional structural review: set code_quality.fallow.enabled to true to add a fallow pre-pass to /gsd-code-review. GSD writes .planning/phases/<phase>/FALLOW.json and surfaces a Structural Findings (fallow) section in REVIEW.md. Install with npm install -D fallow@^2.70.0 (or system-wide via cargo install fallow; note that the Rust binary's JSON schema must match the documented v2.70+ contract — older versions may produce silent zero-finding output).
Package legitimacy checks are built into the research, planning, and execution path: recommended dependencies get audited, unverified packages require a human checkpoint, and failed installs stop instead of trying similarly named alternatives.

Troubleshooting
Commands not showing up? Restart your runtime after install. GSD installs to ~/.claude/skills/gsd-*/ (Claude Code), ~/.codex/skills/gsd-*/ (Codex), or the equivalent for your runtime.
Codex users — minimum supported CLI version is 0.130.0. Codex CLI 0.130.0 (release notes) removed extra-skill-roots discovery via openai/codex#21485; from that version onward Codex discovers skills from standard roots (including ~/.codex/skills/<name>/SKILL.md). GSD installs there directly. Earlier Codex CLI versions may still discover additional roots, which can surface duplicate gsd-* entries (one from extra-roots discovery, one from ~/.codex/skills/); restart Codex after install and either upgrade or accept the duplicate listing.
Something broken? Re-run the installer — it's idempotent:
npx get-shit-done-cc@latest
Containers or Docker? Set CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR before installing to avoid tilde-expansion issues:
CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR=/home/youruser/.claude npx get-shit-done-cc --global
