* feat(#3661): make the code-review hook point configurable Add `workflow.code_review_point` (`execute:post` default, or `execute:wave:post`) so a multi-wave phase can run code review once per wave instead of once at the end, scoped to what changed since the phase's prior review. The code-review capability now declares its step at both loop points via a new generic `pointFrom` step field: `pointFrom` names an enum config key, and the step is only active at its own `point` when that key resolves to a matching value. `_resolvePointGate` (capability-activation.cts) is the single shared implementation consumed identically by loop-resolver.cts and capability-state.cts, and capability-validator.cjs enforces that `pointFrom` references an enum key whose values cover the declaring step's own point. code-review.md's manual-invocation gate now reads `workflow.code_review` directly instead of probing registry presence at the hardcoded execute:post point (so manual `/gsd-code-review` keeps working regardless of which automatic point is configured), and its file-scope tiers narrow to what changed since the phase's last review commit when one exists. execute-phase.md's wave-post step dispatch gets a small, precedented carve-out so the code-review skill still receives its required phase argument when dispatched generically (caught by the isolated spec review). Closes #3661 Emitted-Drift-Ack-Growth: code-review.md — #3661 adds a point-aware config gate check and LAST_REVIEW_COMMIT-based incremental scoping to the file-scope tiers. Emitted-Drift-Ack-Growth: execute-phase.md — #3661 adds one carve-out sentence so the wave-post generic step dispatch passes PHASE_NUMBER to the code-review skill. * docs: backfill changeset PR number for #3661 (#4159) * fix: scope tests/io.test.cjs's fs.writeSync fault-injection mocks by fd Five fault-injection mocks in the "bug #1008" describe blocks intercepted every fs.writeSync call regardless of file descriptor, and several threw or truncated unconditionally on the first call. This surfaced as an intermittent macOS CI failure: node:test's own IPC channel back to the parent process (which also goes through fs.writeSync internally) could get a bogus injected error or truncated write if node's internal machinery called it while one of these mocks was active, corrupting the message frame the parent tried to deserialize ("Unable to deserialize cloned data.", location tests/io.test.cjs:1:1, uncaughtException — a whole-file IPC crash, not a test assertion failure). Root cause confirmed by a working counter-example already in the same file: the "#3912 A6" mocks gate on `fd !== 2` before any fault injection and were never implicated. Applied the same fd-scoped pattern to the five unscoped mocks (four output()-targeting tests gate on fd 1, one error()-targeting test gates on fd 2), and added a regression test proving an unrelated fd passes through untouched while the fault-injection mock is active. Found while verifying #3661; unrelated to that change's own diff. --------- 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.
