* refactor(#1679): ADR-1239 Phase B — collapse runtimeLabel chains into getRuntimeLabel Collapses the two duplicated runtimeLabel assignment chains in bin/install.js (uninstall() and install()) into a single getRuntimeLabel(runtime) lookup in src/runtime-name-policy.cts — a curated short-form label table, sibling to the registry-derived getDirName precedent. This is slice 1 of AC2 (regional residue-collapse in install.js) under ADR-1239 Phase B / #1679. The install/uninstall console label was the add-a-host tax poster child: a new runtime meant adding a label line to BOTH chains, and they had drifted out of sync: - kimi: install 'Kimi' / uninstall 'Kimi CLI' -> canonical 'Kimi CLI' - cline: install 'Cline' / uninstall (omitted) -> canonical 'Cline' Each canonical value matches the majority chain AND the descriptor title. Behavior: - 14 of 16 runtime labels unchanged in both sites (zero observable change). - 2 unifications (kimi-install, cline-uninstall) move toward consistency. - Unknown/empty runtime id fails closed to 'Claude Code'. - Raw-id lookup only (no alias expansion); callers pass canonicalized ids. Voice: these SHORT UI labels are intentionally distinct from the descriptor title (the long product name) which serves docs/registry display, not the console. A future slice may relocate this to a runtime.label descriptor field. Verification: - TDD: tests/runtime-label-policy.test.cjs (golden map + drift guard + fallbacks) - 16-runtime golden install parity: byte-identical (labels are stdout-only) - 162-test neighbor cluster green; eslint + test-file-count + regression-names clean - runtime === count in install.js: 129 -> 115 (-14, the uninstalled label chain) * chore(changeset): add Changed fragment for runtimeLabel collapse (#1679) PR #1800 touches bin/ → changeset-required gate. Mirrors the sibling ADR-1239 Phase B slice (eager-elks-frolic): type Changed + docs-exempt marker (internal refactor, no user-facing doc surface).
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.

Once installed, start your first 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.
