* feat(#1680): ADR-1239 Phase C-1 — declarative embedding adapter + minimal HostIntegrationInterface [AC1] Phase 3 slice 1 (AC1). Names + bounds today's projection path behind the common HostIntegrationInterface that both declarative + imperative adapters will satisfy. - src/embedding-adapter.cts: minimal HostIntegrationInterface (kind + runtime + install/uninstall) + ADAPTER_KINDS. The full 6-point binding surface (command/dispatch/model/hooks/state/artifact) is DEFERRED until the imperative adapter (AC2) fixes the shape — ADR-1239 lists the wire-shape as an open question; freezing it now risks rework across Phases 3-6. - src/adapter-declarative.cts: createDeclarativeAdapter({runtime}) factory. Delegates in-process to install-engine installRuntimeArtifacts / uninstallRuntimeArtifacts (the SAME engine functions bin/install.js uses), so output is byte-identical to today's install (gated by golden-install-parity). Module-ref call style = monkeypatch-friendly for tests. Lossy by design: projects files, does not drive the loop (that's the imperative adapter, AC2). - tests/adapter-declarative-equivalence.test.cjs: kind classification (all 16 runtimes), install/uninstall delegation with exact args (the byte-identity link), fail-closed construction (missing/invalid runtime throws). Purely additive — no install.js/install-engine changes. Unblocks AC2 (imperative adapter) + AC3/AC4 (model/hook/state seams) as follow-up slices. * chore(changeset): add Changed fragment for declarative embedding adapter (#1680) * fix(lint): ignore tsc-emitted embedding-adapter/adapter-declarative .cjs (ADR-457) The new src/embedding-adapter.cts + src/adapter-declarative.cts modules' emitted gsd-core/bin/lib/*.cjs artifacts must join the ADR-457 ignores list (lint the src/*.cts source, not the emitted .cjs). Without this, the .cjs is linted under js.recommended where @typescript-eslint/no-require-imports is undefined, so the verbatim-copied eslint-disable directive surfaces as 'Definition for rule not found' — failing the lint-tests CI job. Also restores the clean line-level disable in adapter-declarative.cts (valid in the .cts source context where the rule IS defined). * fix(docs): add adapter-declarative + embedding-adapter to INVENTORY-MANIFEST cli_modules The new ADR-1239 Phase C-1 modules' built .cjs artifacts must be registered in docs/INVENTORY-MANIFEST.json's cli_modules array or the 'docs/INVENTORY-MANIFEST.json matches the filesystem' drift test fails on CI. Mirrors the existing sorted entries.
GSD Core documentation
Documentation is organised into four quadrants: tutorials help you learn by doing, how-to guides solve specific tasks, reference states authoritative facts, and explanation explores concepts and design decisions.

Tutorials
- Your first project — install to first shipped phase, one guaranteed path
- Onboarding an existing codebase — bring GSD Core to a brownfield repo
- Build your first capability — author a tiny declarative capability and watch it act in the loop
- Install your first capability — install a third-party capability end-to-end: consent, verify, check for updates, remove
How-to guides
- Install on your runtime — runtime-specific install steps for all 16 supported runtimes
- Install a minimal GSD and add skills later — install only the core skills, then grow the surface with profiles and
/gsd:surface - Attach a plugin-provided skill to a GSD agent — use the
global:plugin:skillentry form to load Claude Code plugin skills into agent prompts - Discuss a phase — capture implementation decisions before planning begins
- Resolve edge-coverage findings — turn the spec phase's surfaced domain-boundary edges into covered, dismissed, or backstopped spec decisions
- Resolve prohibition findings — turn the spec phase's surfaced must-NOT constraints into resolved, dismissed, or deferred spec decisions
- Plan a phase — run research, decompose work, and verify plan quality
- Execute a phase — run plans in parallel waves with fresh-context subagents
- Verify and ship — walk through completed work, diagnose failures, and create the PR
- Run phases autonomously — use autonomous mode for unattended phase execution
- Handle quick and fast tasks — use
/gsd-quickand/gsd-fastfor ad-hoc work outside the phase loop - Configure model profiles — switch between quality, balanced, and budget model tiers
- Set up cross-AI review — configure a second AI to review code produced by the primary agent
- Work in parallel with workstreams — run independent lines of work simultaneously using workstreams
- Isolate work with workspaces — use workspaces to sandbox experimental or risky changes
- Debug a failed execution — diagnose and recover from broken or incomplete phase execution
- Spike and sketch — use
/gsd-spikeand/gsd-sketchfor exploratory work before committing to a plan - Design a UI phase — use the UI phase loop for frontend and visual work
- Develop a Capability for GSD 1.5+ — add feature Capabilities, hook fragments, and registry entries
- Add or update a host's integration — set a host's documentation-sourced
runtime.hostIntegrationaxes (ADR-1239 Phase A), with theundocumentedsentinel rule - Turn a capability off (and keep it off) — disable a capability via the surface, or gate individual hooks off without removing the capability
- Drive GSD from a tracker issue — start a phase from a GitHub, Linear, or Jira issue
- Migrate from GSD 2 — upgrade an existing GSD 2 project to GSD Core
- Update GSD — re-run the installer to pick up the latest release
- Clean up get-shit-done-cc — remove leftover old-package artifacts that cause a spurious
⬆ /gsd:updateindicator after migrating to@opengsd/gsd-core - Fix the worktree base-mismatch (exit 42) error — resolve the branch-divergence condition that halts parallel phase execution
- Recover and troubleshoot — fix common problems, rebuild context, and uninstall

Explanation
- Context engineering — how context rot forms and how GSD Core prevents it
- The phase loop — design rationale for the Discuss → Plan → Execute → Verify → Ship cycle
- Multi-agent orchestration — how subagents are spawned, scoped, and coordinated
- Security model — trust boundaries, permissions, and safe automation
- The capability trust model — why third-party capabilities are gated by consent + integrity + reversibility, not a sandbox
- How overlay capabilities compose — why first-party always wins and how the loader resolves precedence, conflicts, and fail-closed gates
- Architecture — system architecture, agent model, and data flow
- Discuss modes — assumptions mode vs interview mode for
/gsd-discuss-phase - Context monitoring — context window monitoring hook architecture
- Issue-driven orchestration — recipe for driving GSD from a tracker issue using existing primitives
