Tom Boucher b238baddbf fix(#663): resolve open CodeQL/Dependabot security alerts (ReDoS, prototype pollution, workflow perms, qs DoS) (#665)
* fix(#663): resolve open CodeQL/Dependabot security alerts

- ReDoS: collapse ambiguous nested quantifiers in phase-heading regexes
  (verify/validate/commands) and the plan-filename lookahead (phase) to
  provably-equivalent non-backtracking forms
- prototype pollution: guard __proto__/constructor/prototype in setConfigValue
- remove dead no-op .replace(/-/g,'-') in phase.cts
- escape all regex metachars in bug-2839 test
- add contents:read permissions to security-scan + install-smoke workflows
- pin qs >= 6.15.2 via overrides (DoS GHSA)
- broaden prompt-injection allowlist to translated security-model docs

Closes #663

* test(#663): regression tests for prototype-pollution guard and roadmap-phase ReDoS

Behavioral test that config-set rejects __proto__/constructor/prototype keys
without polluting Object.prototype, plus a ReDoS guard (timing-bound) and
behavior-preservation assertions for the collapsed phase-heading regexes.

* test(#663): make ReDoS regression assert structured result, not elapsed time

Replace elapsed-time assertions (which tripped local/no-elapsed-assertion
ESLint rule and were unsound for synchronous ReDoS) with structured-result
assertions on adversarial inputs: assert that malformed phase headings/
unchecked-item lines without a terminating colon/space yield an empty Set,
which is both the correct behavior and an exercise of the fixed linear regex
on the catastrophic-backtracking input shape.

* chore(#663): add Security changeset fragment for #665

* test(#663): fold prototype-pollution regression into config.test.cjs

The standalone bug-663-config-prototype-pollution.test.cjs was a 9th
config-module test file, tripping lint-test-file-count (the allowlist is
ratcheted and must not grow). Consolidated into config.test.cjs instead.

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, 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, 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, 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.
