Tom Boucher b205e4c2b2 fix(#1639): parseDecisions handles the titled-colon bullet form (#1665)
* fix(#1639): parseDecisions handles titled-colon bullet form

bulletColonRe anchors on ':**' (colon immediately before close-bold) and bulletEmDashRe
requires an em-dash, so the titled-colon form '- **D-NN: Title.** body' (title between the
colon and the closing **) matched neither and was dropped by the parse-miss guard. When all
decisions used the titled convention, parseDecisions returned 0 and check.decision-coverage-
plan passed vacuously — the same false-coverage failure mode as #1343/#1364/#1365. Add a
third per-form regex bulletTitledColonRe, checked LAST (strict superset of bulletColonRe,
so it only catches bullets the other two miss — minimal blast radius); id + [tags]
trackability honored. Regression folded into decisions.test.cjs: titled-colon parses,
coexists with colon/em-dash, tags, all-titled-13 no longer vacuously 0.

* fix(#1639): tighten titled-colon title to [^:*]* so malformed pre-colon-run bullets still reject

The first cut's title run [^*]* was too permissive: it matched a genuinely-malformed
bullet with a colon in the pre-separator freeform run (e.g. 'D-07 ratio 3:1:**') by
treating the 3:1 colon as the separator, regressing the #1343 parse-miss guard tests.
Tighten the title to [^:*]* (no colon, no star) so the separator colon remains the only
colon permitted before ** — matching bulletColonRe's existing [^:*]* discipline. Valid
titled forms (colon-free titles) still parse; the malformed colon-in-freeform case still
falls through to the parse-miss guard.

* chore(#1639): backfill changeset pr ref to 1665

GSD Core

Git. Ship. Done.

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:

  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, 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.
