npx eslint . reported 0 errors, 53 warnings. The floor eroded the signal: a
genuinely new warning had to be spotted against noise, so 'lint is clean' was not
usable as a check. This takes it to zero.
Fifty of the 53 were one category in gsd-core/bin/gsd-tools.cjs — all unused
ARGUMENTS (error x30, cwd x10, raw x7, args x3), never unused variables. They are
the Command Routing Hub's uniform handler signature, function routeX({ args, cwd,
raw, error }), declared identically whether or not a handler uses all four
members. argsIgnorePattern: '^_' is structurally in conflict with that convention:
satisfying it would mean _-prefixing ~50 parameters and making the signature
non-uniform across the table. Option 1 of #2453: disable args checking for that
file only, keeping varsIgnorePattern intact so genuinely dead variables (the #2379
class) still surface — verified by injecting an unused variable, which still warns.
This is the config decision #732 explicitly deferred ('Severities stay warn (no
config change in this pass)').
The remaining three predate the issue's count of 51 and are real defects, not
suppressions:
- tests/workflow-compat.test.cjs — the step-9 lookahead used (?=\*\*10\.|\z).
\z is a Perl/Ruby end-of-input anchor with NO meaning in JavaScript; it matched
a literal 'z', so the lazy span silently stopped at the first z whenever **10.
was absent, truncating the captured step and letting the assertion pass against
a partial block. Corrected to $.
- tests/debugger-prevention.test.cjs — an unused RegExp built one line above the
one actually used. Removed.
- tests/installer-migrations.test.cjs — try/finally inside a test body, which
CONTRIBUTING prohibits ('verbose, masks test failures, not an approved
pattern'); the unused t was the symptom. Converted to t.after().
Closes #2453

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.
