ADR-857 rollout phase 2e — the largest core.cts extraction. Move the configuration-loading subsystem (loadConfig + _getConfigDefault/ _getNestedConfigDefault/CONFIG_DEFAULTS/_deepMergeConfig, isGitIgnored + _gitIgnoredCache, _warnUnknownProfileOverrides + RUNTIME_OVERRIDE_TIERS + the dedup Sets, _resetRuntimeWarningCacheForTests) out of core.cts into a new leaf module src/config-loader.cts. core.cts re-exports the public surface (loadConfig, isGitIgnored, CONFIG_DEFAULTS, RUNTIME_OVERRIDE_TIERS, _resetRuntimeWarningCacheForTests); 12+ callers unchanged. Cycle-free: config-loader imports only leaves (configuration, config-schema, planning-workspace, shell-command-projection, core-utils, model-catalog). All core-internal helpers loadConfig touches moved with it to avoid a cycle. core keeps CANONICAL_CONFIG_DEFAULTS for its model-resolver functions, which now resolve loadConfig via the binding — this unblocks the final model-resolver extraction (2f). core.cts: 1275 -> 792 lines. Repointed tests/config-field-docs.test.cjs (a docs-parity source check) to read the CONFIG_DEFAULTS literal from its new home (config-loader.cjs). New-CLI-module checklist done (.gitignore, eslint, INVENTORY 95->96 + row, manifest, ARCHITECTURE, CONTEXT.md "Config Loader Module"). Adds tests/config-loader.test.cjs (27 tests: behavioral + shim-identity + adversarial config fixtures). Gates: lint, code-review, security-review (prototype-pollution guard confirmed intact), codex adversarial-review (0 findings; byte-identical move). Mac 4115 pass; clean-build docker: full-suite hit the local mirror's known incremental-tsc non-determinism on an unrelated re-exported symbol (findPhaseInternal, from already-merged 2d), but a clean targeted rebuild of the affected file passed 163/0 — CI's clean full matrix is the authoritative gate.

GSD Core documentation
Documentation is organised into four quadrants: tutorials help you learn by doing, how-to guides solve specific tasks, reference states authoritative facts, and explanation explores concepts and design decisions.
Language versions: English · Português (pt-BR) · 日本語 · 简体中文
Tutorials
- Your first project — install to first shipped phase, one guaranteed path
- Onboarding an existing codebase — bring GSD Core to a brownfield repo
How-to guides
- Install on your runtime — runtime-specific install steps for all 15 supported runtimes
- Install a minimal GSD and add skills later — install only the core skills, then grow the surface with profiles and
/gsd:surface - Discuss a phase — capture implementation decisions before planning begins
- Plan a phase — run research, decompose work, and verify plan quality
- Execute a phase — run plans in parallel waves with fresh-context subagents
- Verify and ship — walk through completed work, diagnose failures, and create the PR
- Run phases autonomously — use autonomous mode for unattended phase execution
- Handle quick and fast tasks — use
/gsd-quickand/gsd-fastfor ad-hoc work outside the phase loop - Configure model profiles — switch between quality, balanced, and budget model tiers
- Set up cross-AI review — configure a second AI to review code produced by the primary agent
- Work in parallel with workstreams — run independent lines of work simultaneously using workstreams
- Isolate work with workspaces — use workspaces to sandbox experimental or risky changes
- Debug a failed execution — diagnose and recover from broken or incomplete phase execution
- Spike and sketch — use
/gsd-spikeand/gsd-sketchfor exploratory work before committing to a plan - Design a UI phase — use the UI phase loop for frontend and visual work
- Drive GSD from a tracker issue — start a phase from a GitHub, Linear, or Jira issue
- Migrate from GSD 2 — upgrade an existing GSD 2 project to GSD Core
- Update GSD — re-run the installer to pick up the latest release
- Clean up get-shit-done-cc — remove leftover old-package artifacts that cause a spurious
⬆ /gsd:updateindicator after migrating to@opengsd/gsd-core - Fix the worktree base-mismatch (exit 42) error — resolve the branch-divergence condition that halts parallel phase execution
- Recover and troubleshoot — fix common problems, rebuild context, and uninstall

- The phase loop — design rationale for the Discuss → Plan → Execute → Verify → Ship cycle
- Multi-agent orchestration — how subagents are spawned, scoped, and coordinated
- Security model — trust boundaries, permissions, and safe automation
- Architecture — system architecture, agent model, and data flow
- Discuss modes — assumptions mode vs interview mode for
/gsd-discuss-phase - Context monitoring — context window monitoring hook architecture
- Issue-driven orchestration — recipe for driving GSD from a tracker issue using existing primitives
