* test(#3335): fold the workflow-content & phase-lifecycle fix-* cluster — Wave 3 Folds 13 legacy fix-*.test.cjs regression files (131 test() blocks) into their module's main suite, per H3 (#3315) of the test-hygiene epic (#3053): - 6 files with no prior target coverage: renamed (git mv) into new suites (spike-manifest-scoping, ship-note, add-todo, workflow-jq-dependency, resolve-execution-dynamic-routing, clock) - 7 files merged into 5 pre-existing suites (worktree-base-ref x2, model-resolver, phase-locator x2, frontmatter, verification-status), deduplicated against existing coverage Zero net test-coverage loss: every source assertion preserved or verified as a genuine pre-existing duplicate. No production code changed. Last fix-* wave (Wave 1 #3341, Wave 2 #3342 already merged); 4 issue-* waves remain in #3315. * test(#3335): fix orthogonal-review findings — Wave 3 fold Standards-axis review + Memtrace graph pass found real defects in the just-folded suites, all fixed here: - phase-locator.test.cjs: pinned an unseeded fast-check property test (CONTRIBUTING.md determinism requirement), matching the sibling test's seed:7 convention. - phase-locator.test.cjs: added assert.ok() presence guards after 9 data.plans.find() calls that were dereferenced unguarded, inconsistent with 5 sibling tests in the same file that already guard correctly. Latent robustness gap — an omitted plan would throw an opaque TypeError instead of a clear assertion failure. - Standardized the fold-wrapper convention (block-scoped __foldDescribe) across worktree-base-ref.test.cjs, verification-status.test.cjs, and phase-locator.test.cjs to match the pattern already established in frontmatter.test.cjs and model-resolver.test.cjs from earlier folds. - worktree-base-ref.test.cjs: moved a mid-file require to the top-of-file require block. - Eliminated duplicated env-isolation helpers: model-resolver.test.cjs and phase-locator.test.cjs each reimplemented GSD_WORKSTREAM/GSD_PROJECT save-restore independently; factored a shared isolateWorkstreamEnv()/ restoreWorkstreamEnv() into tests/helpers.cjs and pointed both call sites at it. No test() count changed in any file. No production code touched. --------- Co-authored-by: sim <sim@local>
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.
