* docs(#2534): rewrite your-first-project tutorial for beginners Adds a loop mental-model primer (Mermaid), per-step "what just happened" callouts, a prerequisites flow, a glossary and a troubleshooting table. Same commands, same .planning artefacts, same to-do CLI example. Closes #2534 * docs(#2534): make the tutorial runtime-agnostic (all IDEs) Adds a "Pick your runtime" section (Cursor, Claude Code, OpenCode, Codex, Gemini CLI, Copilot, Windsurf, Kilo, Cline, Qwen, Antigravity, ...) with the installer flag and command syntax per runtime (/gsd-*, /gsd:* colon form, and Cline rules). Keeps the same guaranteed worked example and .planning artefacts. Closes #2534 * docs(#2534): address review - drop gsd-cursor aside + dead hero comment - Remove the '(pair with the gsd-cursor EoS ...)' parenthetical from the Cursor row. - Remove the commented-out reference to a non-existent hero asset. (Gemini CLI references retained: --gemini is still live in bin/install.js on next.) Closes #2534 * docs(#2534): fix review defects (keep multi-runtime) - Replace dead Gemini CLI / --gemini with its live successor Antigravity (#1928); remove the invalid --gemini row/flag everywhere. - Replace fabricated Step 1 output with realistic installer lines (71 skills/commands + destination suffix; exact lines vary by runtime). - Fix 'Skip research' -> choose 'No' on the real Research prompt. - behaviours -> behaviors (2x). Multi-runtime 'Pick your runtime' section retained per author intent; scope re-approval on #2534 still pending. * docs(#2534): scope tutorial back to single-runtime (Claude Code) Per trek-e's 2026-07-27 review, resolve the multi-runtime blockers by returning to the approved scope: - Remove the 'Pick your runtime' table + per-runtime notes; leave a one- line pointer to docs/how-to/install-on-your-runtime.md (which already documents all runtimes) rather than duplicate it (avoids the drift). This kills Blocker 1 (Antigravity is slash-hyphen, not colon) and Blocker 2 (Codex is $gsd-*) at the source. - Step 1 uses --claude concretely; config-dir prose is Claude-local. - Step 5: fix singular researcher (plan-phase spawns one gsd-phase- researcher), and make the research choice consistent with Step 3 (choose 'Skip research'); drop the RESEARCH.md artifact line. - Glossary/troubleshooting/prereqs/Step 2 de-multi-runtimed. Returns the PR to #2534's approved 'docs-only, same commands' scope. * docs(#2534): correct tutorial prerequisites and outputs * docs(#2534): match tutorial research prompts to workflow * docs(#2534): complete tutorial step guidance --------- Co-authored-by: clezcoding <clezcoding@users.noreply.github.com> 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.
