* feat(#2454): add kimi-code as an EoS capability (Node Kimi Code CLI) PR 1 of N for #2454. Establishes the EoS descriptor foundation for splitting GSD's kimi support into two distinct products per the user's directive: - kimi (existing): Moonshot's Python kimi-cli (~/.kimi, runtime: python) - kimi-code (new): Moonshot's Node Kimi Code CLI (~/.kimi-code, runtime: node, KIMI_CODE_HOME env) Per ADR-1239 EoS, runtime behavior is driven by capabilities/<id>/capability.json descriptors, not hardcoded branches in install.js. The new descriptor uses the existing primitives (dot-home configHome, skills artifactLayout, kimi-hooks-toml hooksSurface — same TOML [[hooks]] format Kimi Code reads per its docs). Critical Kimi Code constraint reflected in the descriptor: hostIntegration.dispatch.namedDispatch: false hostIntegration.dispatch.builtInSubagents: ['coder', 'explore', 'plan'] hostBehaviors.namedSubagentsSupported: false Kimi Code's official docs confirm only 3 built-in subagents with NO custom- subagent registration (the [subagent] table only has timeout_ms). The kimi-agents YAML layout (used by Python kimi-cli) is therefore NOT in kimi-code's artifactLayout. Schema adjustments: - subagentToolkit set to 'undocumented' (the existing escape hatch); the schema enum (full/read-only) lacks a 'limited'/'built-in-only' value. A follow-up PR can extend the schema enum to add 'built-in-only' as a first-class axis value reflecting Kimi Code's documented model. Registration: - capabilities/kimi-code/capability.json (new descriptor, modeled on codex) - bin/install.js: allRuntimes array + --all list + --kimi-code flag - gsd-core/bin/shared/runtime-aliases.manifest.json: kimi-code aliases (kimi-code, kimicode, kimi_code) - src/runtime-name-policy.cts: FALLBACK_ALIASES map - gsd-core/bin/lib/capability-registry.cjs: regenerated via scripts/gen-capability-registry.cjs --write Tests: - tests/multi-runtime-select.test.cjs updated for the new runtime count (18) + new --kimi-code flag test + 'All' shortcut renumbered 18 → 19. Out of scope for PR 1 (follow-up PRs in the sequence): - Install-time decision logic (kimi vs kimi-code detection / prompt) - agent-install-check semantics for kimi-code (verify Agent Skills presence) - cmdAgentSkills fallback returning subagent prompt content - Workflow template mapping (named agents → built-in coder/explore/plan) - Migration guidance for users currently on 'kimi' who are actually on Kimi Code - Schema enum extension for subagentToolkit: 'built-in-only' Refs #2454, #2095 (EoS/kimi migration epic), ADR-1239 (EoS). * fix(#2454): complete drift-guard registrations for kimi-code runtime The drift guards caught every surface that pins runtime enumeration. Each update is mechanical, driven by the guard's named failure mode: - src/runtime-name-policy.cts RUNTIME_LABELS: 'Kimi Code' label for kimi-code - src/runtime-name-policy.cts RUNTIME_FLAG_IDS: add kimi-code to the isKimiCode predicate generator - bin/install.js runtimeMap: option '11' → 'kimi-code', renumber downstream entries (11..17 → 12..18), ALL_RUNTIMES_OPTION 18 → 19 - gsd-core/bin/shared/model-catalog.json runtimeTierDefaults: kimi-code entry (null/null/null — same as kimi, no model tier defaults until configured) - docs/reference/capability-matrix.md: regenerated via scripts/gen-capability-matrix.cjs --write (kimi-code row added) - tests/global-config-home-fragment.test.cjs GOLDEN_FRAGMENT_MAP: kimi-code → '.kimi-code' - tests/fixtures/golden-install-parity/*.json: regenerated via npm run gen:golden (the runtime-aliases.manifest.json hash changed; all 17 runtime fixtures updated) The capability-registry is already regenerated from the prior commit. * test(#2454): update drift-guard tests for kimi-code runtime registration Multiple drift guards pin runtime enumeration counts and option numbering. Each update is mechanical, driven by the guard's named failure mode: - tests/runtime-flags.test.cjs: EXPECTED_FLAGS gains isKimiCode (16 → 17); 'all 16 flags' → 'all 17 flags' in test names + messages. - tests/multi-runtime-select.test.cjs: parseRuntimeInput option renumbering cascade — kilo moves 11→12, opencode 12→13, pi 13→14, qwen 14→15, trae 15→16, windsurf 16→17, zcode 17→18, All 18→19. New single-choice test for kimi-code (option 11). Prompt test updated for new numbering. - tests/host-integration-descriptors.test.cjs: EXPECTED_PROFILES gains kimi-code → 'programmatic-cli' (terminal CLI per Kimi Code docs); EXPECTED_FLATTEN gains kimi-code → false (backgroundDispatch:true per docs, same as Python kimi/opencode). - tests/global-config-home-fragment.test.cjs: table-count test renamed 13 → 14 table runtimes (kimi-code added to GOLDEN_FRAGMENT_MAP earlier). * fix(#2454): empty artifactLayout for kimi-code (PR 1 scope) The skills kind requires a converter (existing converters are per-runtime like convertClaudeCommandToKimiSkill). PR 1 of this multi-PR sequence only registers the descriptor; the actual Agent Skills converter (and a new 'convertClaudeCommandToKimiCodeSkill' function) lands in PR 2 alongside the install-time decision logic. Empty artifactLayout.global is valid and means 'nothing to install yet via the layout seam'. Also: added kimi-code to RUNTIME_META in tests/helpers/install-shared.cjs (localDir .kimi-code, globalSuffix .kimi-code), and added Kimi Code as option 11 in install.js's buildRuntimePromptText (renumbered downstream options 11..17 → 12..18, All 18 → 19). * fix(#2454): camelCase runtimeFlags for hyphenated ids (kimi-code → isKimiCode) The runtimeFlags generator previously produced 'isKimi-code' (hyphen preserved) for the new kimi-code runtime id. Property names with hyphens are awkward for consumers (flags['isKimi-code'] instead of flags.isKimiCode). The new runtimeIdToFlagName helper folds -[a-z] boundaries to uppercase, producing the conventional PascalCase flag name. The 16 prior single-word runtime ids are unaffected (the regex finds no hyphens). * fix(#2454): update remaining drift-guard tests + gen kimi-code fixtures - tests/runtime-flags.test.cjs drift guard: use proper kebab-case conversion (isKimiCode → kimi-code, not 'kimicode') so the registry comparison doesn't false-positive on hyphenated runtime ids. - tests/multi-runtime-select.test.cjs: fix kilo/opencode/pi/qwen/trae single-choice tests for the renumbered options (kilo 11→12, opencode 12→13, pi 13→14, qwen 14→15, trae 15→16). - tests/install.test.cjs: Kilo integration option 11→12, prompt test regex updated. - tests/fixtures/golden-install-parity/kimi-code.json + install-tree/ kimi-code.json: generated via UPDATE_GOLDEN=1 + UPDATE_INSTALL_TREE=1. The kimi-code install produces the standard GSD install layout (skills, contexts, references, etc.) — 436 paths, same shape as other runtimes that have no custom converter yet. * fix(#2454): add kimi-code install contract + global config home fragment - src/runtime-name-policy.cts GLOBAL_CONFIG_HOME_FRAGMENTS: add kimi-code → '.kimi-code' so getGlobalConfigHomeFragment returns the correct path instead of falling through to the default '.claude'. - tests/installer-migration-install.integration.test.cjs RUNTIME_INSTALL_CONTRACTS: kimi-code entry (same surface as kimi for PR 1; PR 2 will specialize once the Agent Skills converter lands). - tests/multi-runtime-select.test.cjs: fix space-separated-choices test for the renumbered kilo option (11 → 12). - tests/fixtures/golden-install-parity/kimi-code.json + install-tree/ kimi-code.json: regenerated after rebasing onto current next (new planner-reversibility.md from #2471 etc. now included). * test(#2454): skip kimi-code install contract until PR 2 ships install layout The end-to-end install test (tests/installer-migration-install.integration .test.cjs) asserts every allRuntimes entry installs a runtime-specific artifact surface. PR 1 of #2454 registers kimi-code in allRuntimes + the capability descriptor + flags + labels, but the install LAYOUT (Agent Skills converter + global AGENTS.md at $KIMI_CODE_HOME/AGENTS.md) lands in PR 2. The SKIP_INSTALL_CONTRACT set marks this exclusion explicit and self-removing — PR 2 removes the entry alongside adding the install surface, restoring the contract loop to full coverage. * fix(#2454): restore compact model-catalog.json format (M1 review) Per code-review M1: my prior 'fix(#2454): complete drift-guard registrations' commit used python json.dump(indent=2) which inflated the file from 165→607 lines (every nested entry got expanded) and lost the trailing newline. The semantic change was just a 3-line kimi-code entry. Restored the original hybrid format (top-level indent=2 + inner entries' one-line style) and added kimi-code in matching form. Regenerated golden install parity + install tree fixtures since the model-catalog.json hash changed. * fix(#2454): update CONTEXT.md allRuntimes glossary (17 → 18, add kimi-code) CI lint-tests job failed on the glossary drift guard (scripts/check-glossary-refs.cjs --check): ✗ CONTEXT.md's allRuntimes enum-count sentence claims 17 values but bin/install.js's allRuntimes array has 18. ✗ CONTEXT.md's allRuntimes member list has drifted from bin/install.js (missing from CONTEXT.md's list: kimi-code). Missed in the prior commits because gsd-test does not run the glossary check (it's a CI lint-tests-only check). Updating CONTEXT.md's two claims to 18 values + kimi-code in the member list. * chore(#2505): regen capability-registry + stamp kimi-code version 1.8.0 (#2511) * docs(changeset): Phase 1 kimi-code runtime Added (#2511) * test(#2511): regen kimi-code golden parity fixture after Phase 0 guard normalization lands * docs(changeset): backfill PR #2519 for Phase 1 (#2511)
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

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.
