* test(#2671): add failing-first brand-typing compile fixtures * feat(#2671): brand raw vs calibrated token types * refactor(#2671): hoist type-compile into a before() hook Two review responses: - The fixture compile ran in the describe() body, so it executed at collection time even when the block was filtered out, and a failed precondition collapsed eight independent assertions into one opaque describe-level failure. A before() hook is this repo's documented idiom and preserves per-test granularity. - parseTokensFlag now records WHY it returns an unbranded number: it validates the magnitude of --tokens, but the basis is decided by --calibrated, so branding here would be wrong for half its callers. The assertion belongs to cmdEstimateCheck, its only caller. * test(#2671): pin each brand diagnostic to its OFFENDING marker Adversarial review demonstrated that asserting only exactly-one-diagnostic- at-code-N is not airtight. Repairing a fixture's brand violation while injecting an unrelated error of the same code (a string passed as the budget argument) still yielded exactly one TS2345, so the fixture would have reported green while no longer testing its regression at all. Each bad-* fixture now routes its violating value through a const named OFFENDING, and the test asserts the diagnostic's start offset falls inside that node — located through the AST, so it survives reformatting and never pattern-matches source text. Replaying the proof-of-concept against the new assertion rejects it: the diagnostic lands on the budget literal, not the marker. Also corrects a doc comment that claimed the program type-checks all of src/; it covers phase-estimation.cts and its transitive dependencies. * chore(#2671): backfill changeset PR number (#2676)
GSD Core
Git. Ship. Done.

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.
