* test(#2596): failing-first suite for worktree-wave scope conformance Binds the advisory diff-vs-declared-scope check to behavior before it exists: the pure coverage predicate, the SUMMARY-artifact exemption and its parity with the rescue walker, the gauntlet integration (never flips ok, degrades on a git failure, survives a later block), the manifest normalizer's files_modified handling, and the --files negative-input matrix on record-agent/create. Refs #2596 * enhance(#2596): warn when a wave branch commits outside its declared scope The worktree-wave merge gauntlet validated branch, base, deletions, SUMMARY rescue and a clean worktree, but never compared a plan branch's actual committed diff against the files_modified the plan declared — so an executor that committed outside its brief merged into shared phase state silently. Adds an advisory scope-conformance check: when the manifest entry carries a declared scope, the gauntlet diffs HEAD...<branch> and appends one structured warning per path outside it. It never flips ok and never blocks the merge; promotion to a hard gate is a separate, disclosed change. With no declared scope no git subprocess is spent at all. Refs #2596 * docs(#2596): document the advisory worktree-wave scope-conformance check Records the optional --files flag on worktree record-agent/create, the advisory warnings channel cleanup-wave now emits, and its two deliberate noise limits (SUMMARY-artifact exemption, literal-prefix glob matching). Wires execute-phase to pass the plan's already-parsed PLAN_FILES. Refs #2596 * fix(#2596): close review findings on the scope-conformance advisory - share one path normalizer between the SUMMARY-artifact predicate and the scope comparison so the exemption and the check cannot drift - wire --files into the orchestrator-worktree dispatch, which created a worktree but never declared its scope, so the advisory silently did not apply on that backend; ADR-1239 requires both adapters share one check - correct the now-false blockquote claiming the check does not exist yet - add the fast-check property tests the repo requires for parser logic - add the record-agent/create parity test that Generative Fix Divergence requires for two surfaces implementing one rule Refs #2596 * fix(#2596): keep execute-phase.md under the frozen pre-phase-6 byte ceiling The one-sentence note added with the --files flag pushed execute-phase.md to 93708 bytes, past the ADR-857 PRE_PHASE6 cap of 93600 — the tightest of the three workflow size gates, and a hard cap an acknowledgment cannot clear. It failed three tests plus the differential attribution check. Condense the note to a one-line pointer (93543, 57 B of headroom); the full explanation already lives in docs/CLI-TOOLS.md and the dispatch step. The flag itself stays in the command, because the orchestrator reads this workflow at runtime and cannot pick it up from docs/. Acknowledge the remaining 143 B of growth by appending to the existing execute-phase.md fragment rather than adding a second one — the ack lint rejects two sources naming the same path. Refs #2596 * fix(#2596): make the execute-phase.md edit net-negative, not merely under the cap The size gate on this file is two assertions, not one: bytes < 93600 AND bytes <= 93400. The base is exactly 93400, so the file is at its budget and any growth trips the margin assertion — the previous fix cleared the ceiling but not that. Move the --files explanation to per-plan-worktree-gate.md, which already owns PLAN_FILES and carries no cap, and reclaim the rest from two clauses in the sentence being edited: the cleanup-wave rules phrasing, and a 'non-zero exit' the very next sentence already states. execute-phase.md ends at 93392, eight bytes below base. The flag itself stays in the command — the orchestrator reads this workflow at runtime and cannot pick it up from docs/. With no growth left, the acknowledgment is unnecessary and its byte delta was no longer true, so the shared ack fragment is restored byte-identical to base. Refs #2596 * docs(#2596): add the how-to for interpreting scope-conformance warnings The docs for this change were entirely Reference — the flag and the warning codes — with the task-oriented quadrant empty. Adds the page that answers the question an operator actually has when the advisory fires: what the two codes mean, that nothing is blocked so there is no failure to hunt for, how to tell whether the executor over-reached or the plan under-declared, and the three ways the check legitimately stays silent so an absence of warnings is not mistaken for proof of conformance.

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.
