* fix(#4076): add missing gsd-hook-version header to gsd-node-runner.sh gsd-node-runner.sh was registered in MANAGED_HOOKS but shipped without a gsd-hook-version header, so gsd-check-update-worker.js always classified it as 'definitely stale' (a missing header is indistinguishable from a pre-version-tracking file). Every install on an otherwise up-to-date version showed a permanent, unclearable '⚠ stale hooks — run /gsd-update' warning naming this one file. Root cause: the build-hooks.js comment claimed the file is 'not a registered hook' and 'staged verbatim — no templating', but it IS in MANAGED_HOOKS (managed-hooks-registry.cjs:34) and install.js already stamps {{GSD_VERSION}} into every .sh hook unconditionally, gsd-node-runner.sh included. The comment contradicted both the registry and the installer's actual behavior, and the header line itself was simply never added. Fix: add the header (matching every other managed .sh hook's format) and correct the comment so it no longer asserts the opposite of what the registry and installer actually do. Adds a regression test that iterates every MANAGED_HOOKS entry and asserts it carries a header matching the worker's own detection regex, so a future hook added to the registry without one fails CI instead of shipping silently. Fixes #4076 * chore(#4076): add changeset fragment for PR #4092 * fix(#4076): address review nits — drop unneeded exemption, fix blank line Per @trek-e's review on #4092: - tests/managed-hooks.test.cjs:96: the readFileSync call uses a loop variable (entry-derived hookPath), not a literal path, so local/no-source-grep's static literal-path detector never flags it — the allow-test-rule exemption comment was unnecessary. Replaced with a plain note explaining the source-read rationale. - tests/managed-hooks.test.cjs:121-122: dropped a stray extra blank line before the bug #2136 section divider. --------- Co-authored-by: Tom Boucher <trekkie@nomorestars.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, 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.
