Tom Boucher c3e2da153b fix(#4134): refuse punctuation-only milestone heading names (#4358)
* test(#4134): fail-first regression — refuse punctuation-fragment milestone names

A first-milestone ROADMAP.md H1 that puts the version after the name
(# Roadmap: Project — Name (v1.13)) leaves exactly ')' after the heading's
own version token, which the ADR-3180 §7.2 pinned name rule returns as a
COMPLETE-scope milestone name. Failing-first coverage:

- getMilestoneInfo: name-then-version H1 (STATE-anchored + ROADMAP-only
  fallback) must yield TRUNCATED {version, name: null}, never ')'
- the refusal is level-agnostic (H2/H3)
- punctuation-family remainders (')', '()', '**', '.,;:', ']}', emoji-only)
- listMilestoneHeadings enumerates the heading with name: null
- init manager CLI reports milestone_name: null and no lone ')' anywhere
- property (seed 20260905, 300 runs): a word-char remainder is always a
  name, a punctuation-only remainder never is
- negative space: canonical delimiter forms, parenthetical names (#3171),
  trailing markers, digit-only names, CRLF headings, version-last-no-parens
  control

* fix(#4134): refuse punctuation-only milestone heading names

extractMilestoneHeadingName returns everything after the heading's own
version token as the name (ADR-3180 §7.2 pinned rule), which assumes
version-then-name. A name-then-version heading — the H1 a first-ever
ROADMAP.md drifts into ('# Roadmap: Project — Name (v1.13)') — leaves
exactly ')' after the token, and that fragment was returned as a
COMPLETE-scope milestone name, propagating into init.* JSON output and
buildStateFrontmatter's STATE.md writes.

A remainder with no letter or digit anywhere (any script) is heading
structure, not a curated name: refuse it as name: null so callers report
the honest §7.2 rule-6 answer (version kept, TRUNCATED scope). Names
that merely contain punctuation are unaffected — '(' stays an ordinary
name character (#3171) — and digit-only names qualify.

Also closes the template gap that lets the shape occur: the roadmapper
agent's output_formats now templates the version-free canonical H1
('# Roadmap: [Project Name]', per templates/roadmap.md) instead of
leaving a first milestone's title line to invention. The new section
shifts the file's existing bare-gsd-tools prose mention from line 647
to 660, so its line-keyed PROSE_ALLOWLIST entry moves with it.

Emitted-Drift-Ack-Growth: gsd-roadmapper.md — deliberate +498 bytes: new '### 0. Top-Level Title (H1)' output_formats section templating the canonical version-free H1, closing the first-milestone template gap that lets an H1 drift into 'Name (vX.Y)' and corrupt milestone_name extraction (#4134)

* chore(#4134): add changeset

* chore(#4134): backfill PR number in changeset

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.

npm version npm downloads Tests Discord GitHub stars License


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

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.
