* fix(#2603): document kimi-code in the host-integration matrix; correct 3 inherited axes The matrix — ADR-1239's deployment source-of-truth — had a section for 18 of 19 installed runtimes but none for `kimi-code`, so its `hostIntegration` axes shipped with no citation and no evidence quote. Sourcing every axis independently against Kimi Code CLI's own docs (the issue's explicit requirement — `kimi` and `kimi-code` are distinct products) showed three values had been inherited from the Python `kimi` descriptor rather than sourced: - `embeddingMode` imperative -> declarative. Kimi Code plugins are a `kimi.plugin.json` manifest plus markdown Skills with no in-process programmatic API (docs/en/customization/plugins.md) — the same shape as `codex`. - `dispatch.nested` false -> true. The `coder` built-in "can dispatch its own nested sub-agents when a task decomposes naturally" (docs/en/customization/agents.md). The Python `kimi` CLI genuinely prohibits nesting; Kimi Code does not. - `dispatch.maxDepth` 1 -> "undocumented". Nesting is documented but no depth bound is published, so the fail-closed sentinel applies over a guessed integer. `dispatch.namedDispatch` deliberately stays `false`: GSD's kimi-code artifact layout installs Agent Skills only (no `agents` kind), so no named GSD subagent is registered with the host and `resolveDispatchType` maps every role onto coder/explore/plan. Flipping it would reintroduce the dispatch failure recorded in docs/migration/kimi-to-kimi-code.md. The matrix records the host-capability nuance under Documentation gaps instead. Behaviourally inert: `namedDispatch:false` already caps nested/maxDepth/background/ backgroundDispatch to false/0 in the effective axes (host-integration.cts:493-499), and the install adapter is not selected by `embeddingMode` (install.js:543 always uses the imperative adapter). The one visible effect is the curated profile pin, which moves programmatic-cli -> declarative-cli. Also fixes the axes legend, which omitted the `built-in-only` subagentToolkit member that has been in the closed vocabulary since kimi-code shipped. Same defect class and countermeasure as #2598: pin the corrected values and require the matrix to agree with the descriptor, because a descriptor/matrix disagreement is how the gap survived.

That message is indistinguishable from a genuinely malformed descriptor, so a correctly fail-closed descriptor reads as broken. Six shipped runtimes carry the sentinel here (antigravity, augment, opencode, trae, windsurf, zcode) and this PR's kimi-code correction adds a seventh, which is why it is fixed here rather than left in place. The numeric guard keeps firing for genuinely malformed values; both paths still degrade `effective.dispatch.maxDepth` closed to 0. Covered by three tests, including the boundary case that the sentinel carve-out must not swallow a real malformed value.

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.
