* feat(#3778): dispatch plan:pre planner contributions in quick.md - Add plan:pre capability gate to quick.md Step 5, mirroring plan-phase.md's existing render + generic contribution dispatch pattern - Inject planner-targeted contribution fragments into the planner prompt, after AGENT_SKILLS_PLANNER, matching D-08 ordering - Add tests/quick-plan-pre-capabilities.test.cjs proving the dispatch is generic (D-01) via real scanWiredKinds/coveredKindsInRegion functions - Record quick.md's byte-growth rationale in this commit trailer for every gsd-core-verbatim runtime Emitted-Drift-Ack-Growth: quick.md — #3778: Step 5 (Spawn planner, quick mode) gains a `plan:pre` capability gate, mirroring `plan-phase.md:420-424` and `:797`. This is shipped shell and prose read by an agent at runtime, not compiled, so the reasoning has to travel with the feature rather than being deferred to a reference doc: (1) the dispatch paragraph phrases role routing possessively ("the role each entry's `into` names") rather than as an `into ==` equality, because `coveredKindsInRegion` (scripts/gen-loop-host-contract.cjs) voids a segment's `kind == "contribution"` coverage credit when a role or capability equality shares that same segment — an equality phrasing here would silently fail the generic-dispatch proof required by D-01; (2) `activeHooks` is read directly in-context from `PLAN_PRE_HOOKS_JSON`/`HOOKS_JSON` and the unfiltered `rendered` digest is explicitly forbidden from being pasted, because `rendered` carries every kind and role — including non-planner-targeted contributions such as a `into: "checker"` twin — and pasting it would leak checker-scoped guidance into the planner's prompt (T-01-02 in the threat model); (3) the injection block sits inside `<planning_context>` AFTER `${AGENT_SKILLS_PLANNER}` and after the Project skills line, matching plan-phase's `:741` -> `:797` ordering (D-08), so agent-skills content is never shadowed by capability-contributed prose. No prose was moved into an eagerly `@`-imported reference to shrink the measured file — @gsd-core/references/loop-hook-dispatch.md already existed before this change and is deferred to for the generic contract only, exactly as plan-phase.md already does. * test(#3778): expand quick.md plan:pre dispatch coverage to all nine locked conditions Extend tests/quick-plan-pre-capabilities.test.cjs with D-02 (silent omit-when-empty), D-03 (single shared planner spawn), D-06 (array-order dispatch phrasing), D-07 (planner-only into filter), and D-08 (render call < agent-skills placeholder < injection block < spawn ordering) assertions, all extracted via a brace-bounded slice anchored on the literal injection instruction rather than a naive first-brace scan (${AGENT_SKILLS_PLANNER} and the surrounding prompt's ${VALIDATE_MODE ? ...} ternaries also contain brace pairs). Add a capability-registry.test.cjs describe block proving the registry-wide D-07 exclusion is meaningful: at least one plan:pre contribution exists, every plan:pre contribution has a non-empty into/fragment.inline, and the registry as a whole carries at least one non-planner-into contribution. Add a loop-host-contract.test.cjs regression pin for D-09: quick.md stays absent from STEP_WORKFLOWS, parseLoopHostBlock still throws on quick.md's real content, and buildContract() still yields exactly 5 entries. Verified red-without-Task-1 by temporarily reverting quick.md to its pre-f30de9cc content and re-running these three suites (D-08 failed as expected), then restored via git checkout and re-confirmed green. * docs(#3778): note quick planning also renders plan:pre in the tutorial The tutorial's Step 6 named only /gsd-plan-phase as the trigger for the plan:pre hook set. Since quick.md now dispatches the same hook set (f30de9cc), the sentence understated the capability's real reach. * feat(#3778): add changeset fragment * chore(#3778): reference the upstream issue in the changeset fragment The fragment was the only one of 81 in .changeset/ without a trailing (#NNNN) reference or a bold lead-in. serializeChangelog auto-appends only the pr: field, so the rendered CHANGELOG entry carried no link back to issue #3778. * test(#3778): scope the D-07 registry assertion to what it actually proves The registry-wide non-planner check was named "D-07 exclusion is meaningful", which overclaims: it proves only that `into` takes non-planner values somewhere in the registry, not that anything is excluded at plan:pre. Every plan:pre contribution is currently into: "planner", so the filter is a forward-looking safeguard there. Narrowing the assertion to plan:pre (as review suggested) would fail today. Asserting plan:pre is all-planner would be brittle — it would break the day a legitimate non-planner plan:pre contribution lands, which is exactly when the safeguard starts doing work. So the assertion is unchanged and only the name and comment are corrected. * chore(#3778): point the changeset fragment at the upstream PR The fragment carried pr: 3, the fork staging PR. changeset lint derives the real PR number from GITHUB_EVENT_PATH, so on the upstream PR that would read as pr-field drift. Point it at open-gsd/gsd-core#3934. * test(#3778): require contributions in Quick revision prompts * test(loop-host): require Quick auxiliary registration * fix(#3778): preserve contributions in Quick plan revisions * fix(#3778): validate Quick as a planner contribution host * fix(#3778): tighten Quick contribution contract * test(#3778): drop unnecessary source-contract exemption * fix(#3778): require Quick planner target coverage * docs(#3778): describe targeted auxiliary coverage --------- Co-authored-by: davdittrich <davdittrich@gmail.com> Co-authored-by: CI Rebase Check <ci@gsd-redux> Co-authored-by: Tom Boucher <trekkie@nomorestars.com>
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
New here? Follow Your first project for a guided walkthrough from install to first shipped phase, or Onboarding an existing codebase for brownfield setup.

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.
