Tom Boucher c0fd2e3f4c feat(#3673): add dispatch.maxConcurrency axis and dispatch-capacity query (#4162)
* test(#3673): add failing tests for dispatch.maxConcurrency axis and dispatch-capacity CLI route

Extends tests/host-integration.test.cjs with negotiateHostCapabilities
maxConcurrency negotiation coverage (test matrix rows 1-15, including a
fast-check property test) and a new #3673 dispatch-capacity CLI route
describe block spawning the real gsd-tools.cjs (rows 16-25). Extends
tests/host-integration-validator-parity.test.cjs with an all-19-descriptor
maxConcurrency presence/validity sweep (row 26) and adds a hostile-input
validator test to host-integration.test.cjs (row 27).

The dispatch.maxConcurrency field does not exist yet, so these tests fail.

* feat(#3673): add dispatch.maxConcurrency axis, negotiation, validator parity, and the dispatch-capacity query

Adds a numeric dispatch.maxConcurrency sub-field to the Host-Integration
Interface (ADR-1239 Phase 1), following the existing dispatch.isolation
sub-field pattern: DispatchCapability interface, SAFE_DEFAULTS/PROFILE_BASELINES
floors, and a negotiateHostCapabilities branch that passes through a positive
safe integer and fails closed to 1 otherwise (no engine-side reduction, per
the design doc's explicit rejection of a min(host,engine) rule).

capability-validator.cjs gains parity validation for the new field (optional,
positive safe integer or the "undocumented" sentinel — mirroring isolation's
"added after existing descriptors" treatment).

gsd-tools.cjs gains a new `query dispatch-capacity` route, a pure-read sibling
of `dispatch-isolation` with no side effects: live env
(GSD_DISPATCH_MAX_CONCURRENCY) > descriptor > fallback-to-1 precedence.

All 19 capabilities/*/capability.json descriptors now declare
dispatch.maxConcurrency: claude carries the one cited value (20, per
code.claude.com/docs/en/sub-agents); the other 18 carry "undocumented"
(not yet researched for this axis).

* docs(#3673): document dispatch.maxConcurrency and add its citation row to the capability matrix

Updates docs/reference/host-integration-interface.md's dispatch struct entry
(also backfilling the previously-undocumented isolation/backgroundDispatch
sub-fields found stale in the same table) and adds fail-closed/live-transport
precedence prose for the new maxConcurrency field.

Adds a dispatch.maxConcurrency row (with citation) to all 19 host sections in
docs/reference/host-integration-capability-matrix.md — required for
tests/host-integration-descriptors.test.cjs's kimi-code matrix-parity check,
which asserts every declared dispatch sub-axis is documented there.

Updates docs/how-to/add-or-update-a-host-integration.md's dispatch checklist
and example descriptor block to mention maxConcurrency (and, likewise
backfilling a stale gap, isolation/backgroundDispatch).

* fix(#3673): extract shared maxConcurrency validator, drop dead reserved-name check

Exports isPositiveSafeInteger from src/host-integration.cts as the single
source of truth for the dispatch.maxConcurrency positive-safe-integer
contract; negotiateHostCapabilities and gsd-tools.cjs's routeDispatchCapacity
now both call it instead of independently reimplementing the same predicate.

Also removes the __proto__/constructor/prototype reserved-name branch from
capability-validator.cjs's maxConcurrency check — copy-pasted from the
string-enum fields above it, but unreachable for a numeric field (the
generic positive-safe-integer branch already rejects any string) and absent
from maxDepth, the field the code's own comment claims to mirror.

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:

  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, 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.
