* feat(#2454): PR 2 — kimi-code Agent Skills converter + install layout PR 1 registered the kimi-code EoS descriptor with empty artifactLayout (SKIP_INSTALL_CONTRACT excluded it from the end-to-end install test). PR 2 fills in the install surface: - src/runtime-artifact-conversion.cts: new convertClaudeCommandToKimiCodeSkill function. Today it delegates to convertClaudeCommandToKimiSkill (Python kimi-cli) because Kimi Code uses the same Agent Skills format + /skill: invocation per official docs. The distinct function name lets a future divergence land cleanly if Kimi Code's skill format evolves independently. - gsd-core/bin/lib/capability-validator.cjs: add to ALLOWED_SKILLS_CONVERTERS. - capabilities/kimi-code/capability.json: artifactLayout.global now declares the skills kind with converter='convertClaudeCommandToKimiCodeSkill' + home='.kimi-code' (auto-discovered at ~/.kimi-code/skills/ per Kimi Code docs: merge_all_available_skills = true default). - tests/installer-migration-install.integration.test.cjs: REMOVE the SKIP_INSTALL_CONTRACT exclusion — kimi-code now has a full install surface. - Regenerated capability-registry + capability-matrix + golden install parity + install tree fixtures for kimi-code. * fix(#2454): wire kimi-code converter into SKILLS_CONVERTER_REGISTRY + count bump - src/install-engine.cts: add convertClaudeCommandToKimiCodeSkill to SKILLS_CONVERTER_REGISTRY so the layout-driven skills install path can dispatch off the descriptor's converter string. - tests/capability-registry.test.cjs: bump VALID_CONVERTER_NAMES count 26 → 27 (added convertClaudeCommandToKimiCodeSkill). * fix(#2454): remove home override from kimi-code skills (inherit configDir) The home:'.kimi-code' override made the install plan resolve skills dest to ~/.kimi-code/skills instead of <configDir>/skills, causing the test's temp configDir to miss the install. Removing it lets skills inherit configDir like most runtimes. * fix(#2454): kimi-code install contract surface is flat-skills (no agents) Kimi Code has NO custom named subagents (per official docs: 3 built-in coder/explore/plan only). The kimi-skills-agents surface expects agents/ gsd.yaml + subagents/*.yaml which kimi-code does not produce. Changed to flat-skills which only checks for skills/gsd-* dirs. * docs(changeset): Phase 2 kimi-code install layout Added (#2509) * docs(changeset): backfill PR #2520 for Phase 2 (#2509)
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.
