Tom Boucher c4d3fe62a5 fix(install): require persistent SDK reachability before reporting ready (#3231) (#3249)
* test: reproduce false GSD SDK ready signals on Linux (#3231)

* fix(install): require persistent SDK reachability before reporting ready (#3231)

* changeset: pr=3249 for #3231

* fix(install): filter _npx from login-shell PATH probe (CR finding 1)

Apply filterNpxFromPath() to the getUserShellPath() result before passing
it to isGsdSdkOnPath(), mirroring the same filtering already applied to
process.env.PATH. Without this, a transient _npx entry in the login-shell
PATH can falsely satisfy the cross-shell reachability check and reintroduce
the false-ready condition this PR fixes.

* fix(test): unconditional legacy-shim replacement assertion (CR finding 2)

Replace readFileSync+includes source-grep check with isLegacyGsdSdkShim()
and add an else branch asserting that when sdkReady is false, a warning/error
was emitted. Previously the sdkReady===false path had no assertion at all,
allowing the test to pass without verifying any postcondition.

* test: replace text-grep assertions with structured ones (CR finding 2 + nitpick)

Finding 2: restructure the legacy-shim replacement assertion to branch on
isLegacyGsdSdkShim() state (a behavioral fact) rather than console output,
and add an unconditional postcondition for both branches.

Nitpick 3 (4 locations):
- lines 149-153: replace /GSD SDK ready/.test(combined) with
  isGsdSdkOnPath(filterNpxFromPath(PATH)) === false
- lines 167-169, 185-189: split filterNpxFromPath result into segments array
  and use array.includes() instead of string.includes() on the raw PATH string
- lines 375-377: replace /GSD SDK ready/.test(combined) with
  fs.existsSync(shimPath) + isGsdSdkOnPath(filterNpxFromPath(localBin))

All 8 tests pass. lint-no-source-grep: 0 violations.

* fix(build-hooks): per-PID staging dir eliminates concurrent-cleanup TOCTOU race

When multiple test before() hooks spawned build-hooks.js concurrently
(--test-concurrency=4), a race existed: Process A would finish all copies,
call rmdirSync('.dist-staging/') in cleanup, then Process B — still in its
copy loop — would call copyFileSync(src, '.dist-staging/hook.pid.ts') and
get ENOENT because the staging directory was gone.

On macOS/Linux, copyFileSync reports the SOURCE path in ENOENT errors when
the destination directory is missing, making the failure appear to be a
missing source file (hooks/gsd-statusline.js) rather than a missing
destination directory. This misled the diagnosis.

Fix: make STAGE_DIR per-PID ('.dist-staging-<pid>/') so each builder owns
its own staging directory. No other process touches it, eliminating all
contention on staging-dir creation and cleanup. Update .gitignore to match
the new 'hooks/.dist-staging-*/' glob.

Reproduces as: CI test matrix (macos-24, ubuntu-22, ubuntu-24) all failing
with ENOENT on hooks/gsd-statusline.js in bug-2136 before() hook. The new
test file added in this PR (bug-3231) shifts the concurrency schedule just
enough to expose the race on every CI run.

* test: assert on captured console output, not tautological PATH state (CR finding)

The two discarded `captureConsole()` return values in the bug-3231 test
were flagged by CodeRabbit as tautological assertions. Fix:

- Test 1 (transient _npx PATH): capture stdout/stderr and assert the
  installer does NOT emit "GSD SDK ready" (the false-positive the PR
  fixes), and that it does emit some diagnostic output instead.

- Test 3 (clean install): capture stdout/stderr and assert the installer
  DOES emit "GSD SDK ready" after successfully self-linking into a
  persistent PATH dir — confirming the positive path works correctly.

GET SHIT 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, Gemini CLI, Kilo, Codex, Copilot, Cursor, Windsurf, and more.

Solves context rot — the quality degradation that happens as your AI fills its context window.

npm version npm downloads Tests Discord X (Twitter) $GSD Token GitHub stars License


npx get-shit-done-cc@latest

Works on Mac, Windows, and Linux.


GSD Install


"If you know clearly what you want, this WILL build it for you. No bs."

"I've done SpecKit, OpenSpec and Taskmaster — this has produced the best results for me."

"By far the most powerful addition to my Claude Code. Nothing over-engineered. Literally just gets shit done."


Trusted by engineers at Amazon, Google, Shopify, and Webflow.


Important

Returning to GSD?

Run /gsd-map-codebase to re-index your codebase, then /gsd-new-project to rebuild GSD's planning context. Your code is fine — GSD just needs its context rebuilt. See the CHANGELOG for what's new.


Why I Built This

I'm a solo developer. I don't write code — Claude Code does.

Other spec-driven tools exist, but they're all built for 50-person engineering orgs — sprint ceremonies, story points, stakeholder syncs, Jira workflows. I'm not that. I'm a creative person trying to build great things consistently.

So I built GSD. The complexity is in the system, not in your workflow. Behind the scenes: context engineering, XML prompt formatting, subagent orchestration, state management. What you see: a few commands that just work.

The system gives Claude everything it needs to do the work and verify it. I trust the workflow. It just does a good job.

— TÂCHES


How It Works

The loop is six commands. Each one does exactly one thing.

1. Initialize

/gsd-new-project

Questions → research → requirements → roadmap. You approve it, then you're ready to build.

Already have code? Run /gsd-map-codebase first. It analyzes your stack, architecture, and conventions so /gsd-new-project asks the right questions.

2. Discuss

/gsd-discuss-phase 1

Your roadmap has a sentence per phase. That's not enough to build it the way you imagine it. Discuss captures your decisions before anything gets planned: layouts, API shapes, error handling, data structures — whatever gray areas exist for this specific phase.

The output feeds directly into research and planning. Skip it, get reasonable defaults. Use it, get your vision.

3. Plan

/gsd-plan-phase 1

Research → plan → verify, in a loop until the plans pass. Each plan is small enough to execute in a fresh context window.

4. Execute

/gsd-execute-phase 1

Plans run in parallel waves. Each executor gets a fresh 200k-token context. Each task gets its own atomic commit. Walk away, come back to completed work with a clean git history.

Your main context window stays at 30–40%. The work happens in the subagents.

5. Verify

/gsd-verify-work 1

Walk through what was built. Anything broken gets a diagnosed fix plan — ready for immediate re-execution. You don't debug manually; you just run execute again.

6. Repeat → Ship

/gsd-ship 1
/gsd-complete-milestone
/gsd-new-milestone

Loop discuss → plan → execute → verify → ship until the milestone is done. Then archive, tag, and start the next one fresh.


Getting Started

npx get-shit-done-cc@latest

The installer prompts for your runtime (Claude Code, OpenCode, Gemini CLI, Kilo, Codex, Copilot, Cursor, Windsurf, and more) and whether to install globally or locally.

claude --dangerously-skip-permissions

GSD is built for frictionless automation. Skip-permissions is how it's intended to run.

See docs/USER-GUIDE.md for the full walkthrough, non-interactive install flags for all 15 runtimes, minimal install (--minimal), Docker setup, and permissions configuration.


Commands

The main loop:

Command What it does
/gsd-new-project Questions → research → requirements → roadmap
/gsd-discuss-phase [N] Capture implementation decisions before planning
/gsd-plan-phase [N] Research + plan + verify
/gsd-execute-phase <N> Execute plans in parallel waves
/gsd-verify-work [N] Manual acceptance testing
/gsd-ship [N] Create PR from verified phase work
/gsd-progress --next Auto-detect and run the next step
/gsd-complete-milestone Archive milestone and tag release
/gsd-new-milestone Start next version

For ad-hoc tasks, autonomous mode, codebase analysis, forensics, and the full command surface — see docs/COMMANDS.md.


Why It Works

Three things most AI-coding setups get wrong:

1. Context bloat. As a session grows, quality degrades. GSD keeps your main context clean by doing the heavy work in fresh subagent contexts. Researchers, planners, and executors each start fresh with exactly what they need.

2. No shared memory. GSD maintains structured artifacts that survive session boundaries: PROJECT.md (vision), REQUIREMENTS.md (scope), ROADMAP.md (where you're going), STATE.md (current position and decisions), CONTEXT.md (per-phase implementation decisions). Every new session loads these and knows exactly where things stand.

3. No verification. Code that "runs" isn't code that "works." GSD's verify step walks you through what was built, diagnoses failures with dedicated debug agents, and generates fix plans before you declare a phase done.

See docs/ARCHITECTURE.md for how the multi-agent orchestration and context engineering work in detail.


Configuration

Settings live in .planning/config.json. Configure during /gsd-new-project or update with /gsd-settings.

Key dials:

Setting What it controls
mode interactive (confirm each step) or yolo (auto-approve)
Model profiles quality / balanced / budget — controls which model each agent uses
workflow.research / plan_check / verifier Toggle the quality agents that add tokens and time
parallelization.enabled Run independent plans simultaneously

For the full configuration reference — all settings, git branching strategies, per-runtime model overrides, workstream config inheritance, agent skills injection — see docs/CONFIGURATION.md.

Troubleshooting

Commands not showing up? Restart your runtime after install. GSD installs to ~/.claude/skills/gsd-*/ (Claude Code), ~/.codex/skills/gsd-*/ (Codex), or the equivalent for your runtime.

Something broken? Re-run the installer — it's idempotent:

npx get-shit-done-cc@latest

Containers or Docker? Set CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR before installing to avoid tilde-expansion issues:

CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR=/home/youruser/.claude npx get-shit-done-cc --global
