* fix(#950): emit status: complete in quick-task SUMMARY frontmatter Add `status: complete` to all four SUMMARY templates (summary.md, summary-minimal.md, summary-standard.md, summary-complex.md), to the executor agent's documented frontmatter field list, and to the quick.md executor constraints block. The audit-open milestone-close scanner (scanQuickTasks) reads this field to decide whether a quick task is done; without it the scanner falls back to `[unknown]` and false-flags finished tasks as open. Writer-side fix; the scanner is correct and unchanged. Blast-radius: no other scanner reads `status:` from phase-plan SUMMARY files. Phase disk_status is derived from file-count heuristics only. Adding the field to the shared template is therefore safe and the value `complete` is semantically accurate for a finished plan. Regression test: tests/bug-950-quick-summary-status-complete.test.cjs - RED: 4 template-contract tests fail before fix, behavioral tests pass - GREEN: all 8 tests pass after fix Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com> * chore: add changeset for fix/950-quick-summary-status-complete (#951) Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com> * test(#950): assert writer-path contract + scope template checks to YAML frontmatter (adversarial review) - Add `// allow-test-rule: source-text-is-the-product` at file top (before block comment) - Add `extractFrontmatter()` helper that handles both leading-frontmatter files (summary-minimal/standard/complex.md) and fenced-frontmatter files (summary.md, whose frontmatter is embedded inside a ```markdown fence) — assertions now target the actual YAML block, not the whole file - Scope all four [TEMPLATE CONTRACT] tests through extractFrontmatter() so a stray `status: complete` in prose/examples cannot produce a false green; error messages now print the extracted block to aid diagnosis - Add [WRITER-PATH] quick.md test: asserts the <constraints> block instructs the executor to write `status: complete` in SUMMARY frontmatter - Add [WRITER-PATH] gsd-executor.md test: asserts the Frontmatter spec documents `status: complete` as a required field - Sanity-checked: guards fail when `status: complete` is removed from a template or from quick.md, and pass once restored Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com> --------- Co-authored-by: github-actions[bot] <41898282+github-actions[bot]@users.noreply.github.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, 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, Gemini 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, Gemini 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 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.
