Tom Boucher ac6ed6201d fix(#4257): harvest only prose phase references; W002 names its workstream scope (#4486)
* test(#4257): W002 harvest precision + workstream-scoped warning regression rows

Tests-only RED commit: A-rows pin the command-mention/code-span harvest
precision on statePhaseTokens, B-rows drive W002 under root and workstream
scope (scope clause asserted, root grammar byte-identical), C-rows pin the
additive workstream snapshot field. All fail on next; fix follows.

* fix(#4257): harvest only prose phase references; W002 names its workstream scope

Sub-defect (a): the statePhaseTokens harvest was the verbatim #3309
relocation of verify.cts's unanchored, markdown-blind scan
([Pp]hase\s+(TOKEN) over the raw file), so GSD's own command names
(/gsd-execute-phase 5, bare or quoted) and any token inside a code
span/fenced block were harvested as phase references and fired W002 on
ledger rows. Now strips fenced blocks then inline spans via the canonical
markdown-sectionizer seam (#2365 composition order) and matches with a
left word boundary (?<![-\w]) so hyphen- or word-suffixed carriers are
mentions, not references. Pinned tradeoff: a genuine reference written
in backticks stops counting (a quoted literal is not a reference).

Sub-defect (b): the valid set is workstream-scoped by construction
(planningPaths under GSD_WORKSTREAM; per-workstream numbering is
deliberate), but the message claimed 'only phases 1, 2 are declared'
unqualified. New additive PlanningSnapshot.workstream field, sourced
from planning-workspace's new resolveEnvWorkstream() — the ONE env
discriminator planningDir itself applies — so the clause cannot disagree
with the base the reads used. Root scope keeps the byte-identical
message; the checker's scope is unchanged.

* test(#4257): close the B2 quoted-literal code span (fixture typo)

The B2 fixture wrote a single opening backtick — an unterminated span is
literal text per CommonMark, so its content is prose and W002 correctly
fired on it. The test's name, the A3 snapshot-level twin, and the B2
matrix row all intend a closed span; pre-fix this was indistinguishable
because the unanchored harvest fired either way.

* chore(#4257): changeset fragment (pr number to backfill)

* chore(#4257): backfill PR number in changeset

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:

  1. Discuss — capture implementation decisions before anything is planned
  2. Plan — research, decompose, and verify the plan fits a fresh context window
  3. Execute — run plans in parallel waves; each executor starts with a clean 200k-token context
  4. Verify — walk through what was built; diagnose and fix before declaring done
  5. 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.
