* fix(#2914): never persist a spent emitted-drift ack on next tests/emitted-drift-ack.json held 34 spent #2834 entries merged via #2900. Every entry is scoped to the diff that introduced it (#2789), so once merged to next it is at the base by definition -- spent and inert. Its presence is still load-bearing though: each PR rewrites the paths map wholesale, making a persistent base copy a shared cell. Five of six conflicting PRs in the open queue collided on this file and nothing else. Deletes the stale document and adds a push-to-next guard asserting it stays absent. The guard is deliberately NOT wired into lint:ci -- a PR-lane check against the base is the #2768 shape #2789 exists to end. Closes #2914 Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * chore(#2914): backfill changeset pr number Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(#2914): per-PR ack fragments instead of one shared mutable file The emitted-drift acknowledgment lived in a single tests/emitted-drift-ack.json whose paths map every PR rewrote wholesale. That is a shared mutable cell: any two PRs needing an ack edit the same lines and conflict. Five of six conflicting PRs in the open queue collided on this file and nothing else. Acks now live as per-PR fragments under tests/emitted-drift-acks/, the same shape .changeset/ already uses to solve this exact problem. Two PRs pick different filenames, so they cannot collide, and fragments lingering on next are harmless rather than toxic. The legacy file's 35 entries are MIGRATED into a fragment, not deleted. An earlier delete-only attempt failed verification twice: the ratchet lost the spec-phase.md acknowledgment from #2779 and reported a 10-byte growth with no ack. Relocating preserves every acknowledgment. The legacy single file is still READ (unioned with the fragments) because five open PRs carry it; dropping support would break all of them. A duplicate path key across sources is a hard error, never last-wins. The push-to-next guard is retargeted accordingly: it now asserts only that the legacy SHARED file never reappears on next. Fragments may persist harmlessly. Closes #2914 Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> --------- Co-authored-by: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.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

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.
