* feat(#896): Capability Registry generator + UI pilot (ADR-857 phase 3a-impl) First phase-3 code: the Capability Registry generation pipeline, built against the ADR-894 contract and NOT wired into the live loop (registry-only, per the staged-cutover design). - capabilities/ui/capability.json — the UI pilot (ADR-894 worked example): 2 skills, 2 agents, 3 config keys, 2 steps + 1 gate, with `when` activation. - scripts/gen-capability-registry.cjs — --write/--check generator. Hand-rolled schema validation (envelope + role-typed feature/runtime bodies + typed steps/contributions/gates + when + gate-check variants); cross-capability invariants (single ownership; requires exist+acyclic+tier-monotone; config-key ownership exclusive, collision-vs-central as a pending-migration warning); hooks validated against an inline LOOP_HOST_CONTRACT (3a-impl-2 swaps its source to the generated-from-workflows contract); GLOBAL point-ordered consumes-satisfiability; materialized byLoopPoint ordering (produces/consumes topo-sort); emits gsd-core/bin/lib/capability-registry.cjs (role-partitioned indexes + requiresClosure). Prototype-pollution guards (Object.create(null) + inline literal key checks) + fragment.path traversal guard. - gsd-core/bin/lib/capability-registry.cjs — committed generated artifact (mirrors package-identity.cjs: script-generated, tracked, linted, regenerated on build, drift-tested), wired via the new `gen:capability-registry` build step. - tests/capability-registry.test.cjs — 72 tests: schema + invariant + hook + ordering + adversarial (path-traversal, proto-pollution, runtime body, self-consume, cycles, collisions) + committed-file staleness guard. New-CLI-module checklist (INVENTORY 97->98, MANIFEST, ARCHITECTURE), CONTEXT.md "Capability Registry" un-[Planned]'d. Nothing wired into install/surface/loop. Gates: lint, code-review (4 bugs fixed), security-review (path-traversal + prototype-pollution fixed), codex adversarial-review ×3 (8+ findings fixed, confirmed sound), clean-build docker 13190 pass / 0 fail. Closes #896 Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(#896): CRLF-agnostic --check for capability-registry staleness (Windows) The committed capability-registry.cjs staleness guard failed on Windows CI only: git checks out the committed .cjs as CRLF (autocrlf, no .gitattributes) while the generator emits LF, so the byte-for-byte --check comparison mismatched. Normalize line endings on both sides of the --check comparison (no .gitattributes change, no change to the LF the generator writes). Adds a regression test simulating the Windows CRLF checkout. --------- Co-authored-by: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>
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
