* fix(#1778): use 1.6 named-flag frontmatter.set form in thread workflow The thread workflow's CLOSE and RESUME branches called frontmatter.set with the pre-1.6 fully-positional shape (frontmatter.set <file> <field> <value>). Since 1.6 the dispatcher (gsd-tools.cjs) parses the file positionally and reads field/value from the named flags --field/--value via parseNamedArgs; the positional form leaves field/value undefined, cmdFrontmatterSet errors 'file, field, and value required', and the status/updated writes are silently skipped. Closing a thread never marked it status: resolved and resuming never marked it status: in_progress. Switch all four sites (CLOSE status+updated, RESUME status+updated) to the 1.6 hybrid form that verify-work.md already uses: frontmatter.set <file> --field <field> --value <value> Add a regression test with three guards: (1) behavioral — the named-flag form writes the field while the positional form errors with the documented message and does not mutate the file; (2) workflow parity — no workflow under gsd-core/workflows/ emits the positional form, so a future edit that reintroduces it anywhere fails CI; (3) thread-specific — CLOSE writes status: resolved and RESUME writes status: in_progress via the named flags. * docs(#1778): add changeset fragment for thread workflow frontmatter fix * docs(#1778): fix unclosed inline-code backtick in changeset fragment * fix(#1778): move regression into owning test + regen baselines lint-regression-test-names rejects new bug-NNNN-*.test.cjs files; move the #1778 regression (behavioral named-vs-positional + workflow-parity scan + thread CLOSE/RESUME assertions) into tests/frontmatter-cli.test.cjs, the canonical home for frontmatter CLI regressions, and delete the standalone file. frontmatter-cli.test.cjs already carries the allow-test-rule exemption for workflow .md content tests. gsd-core/workflows/thread.md ships to every runtime and is size-tracked, so recapture the 16 golden-install-parity fixtures (thread.md hash) and the per-file workflow size baseline (thread.md 12400 -> 12464) via UPDATE_GOLDEN=1 and npm run size:baseline.
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.
