* fix(#2587): resolve cursor hook workspace from workspace_roots, not cwd gsd-cursor-session-start.js and gsd-cursor-stop.js both resolved the project as path.join(process.cwd(), '.planning', 'STATE.md'). Under the cursor-agent CLI, hooks are invoked with cwd set to the Cursor config dir (~/.cursor), not the workspace — so the lookup always missed. sessionStart could only ever emit the "no .planning/ workflow found" nudge and stop's verify-work reminder could never fire, even with .planning/STATE.md sitting in the workspace. Slash commands were unaffected, which is why only the hook layer looked blind. Both hooks already buffered stdin into `raw` and never parsed it; the payload's workspace_roots carries the real path. Multi-root was left open in the report ("first root vs any root"). Resolved forward: prefer the first root that actually carries .planning/STATE.md, so a workspace whose GSD project is not the first root still resolves — strictly better than first-root-only and identical to it in the single-root CLI case. Falls back to roots[0], then to cwd, keeping IDE behavior unchanged if the IDE ever invokes hooks from the workspace. The resolver is duplicated verbatim across the two scripts rather than shared via hooks/lib/: these hooks ship standalone, and a new hooks/lib/ file must be registered in the GENERATED installer's GSD_HOOK_LIB_FILES allowlist — the installer-omits-shipped-file class that yields MODULE_NOT_FOUND at runtime. Per CLAUDE.md "Generative Fix Divergence", the duplication carries a parity assertion so the copies cannot drift. Failing-first, demonstrated by direct invocation with cwd != workspace: pre-fix sessionStart -> "no .planning/ workflow found" stop -> {} post-fix sessionStart -> ".planning/STATE.md is present" stop -> reminder tests/fix-2587-cursor-hook-workspace-roots.test.cjs spawns the real scripts as child processes with a cwd lacking .planning/ and workspace_roots pointing at it. Boundary coverage on the roots array (0 / 1 / 2 entries), plus malformed-JSON fail-open, junk-entry filtering, the parity assertion, and a guard that neither script resolves .planning from cwd again.

MISSED SITE (high). gsd-cursor-subagent-start.js carried the identical defect at line 43 — its own header documents workspace_roots in the input schema, but it resolved .planning/ from process.cwd() anyway. Under the cursor-agent CLI that meant every Cursor subagent (planner, executor, verifier) started with "no .planning/ workflow found" and no phase context. The report named only sessionStart and stop; the defect class was wider. Verified pre-fix vs post-fix by direct invocation with cwd != workspace. 2. SEMANTIC NARROWING (medium). The first cut searched only workspace_roots and fell back to cwd solely when the array was EMPTY. So when roots were supplied but none carried .planning/ while cwd did, the hook reported absent — where the pre-fix code, which always used cwd, reported present. That contradicted the fallback's own stated intent of preserving IDE behavior. cwd is now a CANDIDATE in the search (`[...roots, process.cwd()]`), so the fix is a strict superset of both the old behavior and the CLI fix, never a narrowing. 3. STALE GOLDEN FIXTURES (high, would have failed CI). The golden-install-parity fixtures store a content hash per installed file; these three hooks appear in 13 of the 19 runtime fixtures. Regenerated via `npm run gen:golden` — the diff is exactly the three hook hashes in exactly those 13 runtimes. Tests extended: subagentStart resolution via workspace_roots; the stop hook's absent branch (previously only session-start's was covered); an explicit regression guard that a project at cwd is still found when roots miss; parity now asserts all THREE copies byte-identical; and the cwd guard sweeps the whole RESOLVING_HOOKS list so a future hook in this family cannot be left on cwd.

The reported issue named two hooks; a third (subagentStart) had the identical defect. That is the signature of a systemic problem, and three copies of a resolver guarded by a parity assertion is a divergence risk maintained by hand rather than a fix. hooks/lib/cursor-workspace.js is now the single implementation. All three Cursor hooks require it; none defines a local copy. Divergence is prevented structurally instead of by asserting three copies stay byte-identical. The reason duplication looked necessary was real, and is fixed properly here rather than worked around: Cursor sets hostBehaviors.skipSharedHooksInstall (#2089), so it never reaches the installer's bulk hooks/lib copy — it was the ONE runtime shipping these hooks WITHOUT hooks/lib (verified against all 19 golden fixtures: cursor had the hook scripts, no lib). A naive require would have thrown MODULE_NOT_FOUND at load, BEFORE each hook's own try/catch, wedging every session on precisely the runtime this bug is about. writeCursorHooksJson (src/runtime-hooks-surface.cts) now stages the hooks/lib helpers the staged scripts actually require, discovered by scanning their require('./lib/…') calls rather than a hardcoded name — so a future helper cannot be silently omitted. This is narrower than flipping skipSharedHooksInstall, which would wrongly pull in every shared hook. cursor-workspace.js is also added to GSD_HOOK_LIB_FILES so uninstall and the manifest manage it for the runtimes that do receive hooks/lib. Verified against a REAL install (runMinimalInstall, cursor/global): the helper is staged, and all three INSTALLED hooks resolve the workspace end-to-end from a cwd that is not the project. Also closes the review gap that the stop hook was excluded from the cwd-candidate regression loop — it now sweeps RESOLVING_HOOKS. The byte-parity test is replaced by a structural guard (every hook requires the shared module, none redefines it) plus a new install test asserting the helper is staged and the installed hook actually loads against it.

H1 — the staging step's `if (!fs.existsSync(libSrc)) continue;` silently defeated the very guarantee it was added for. Reproduced: delete hooks/lib/cursor-workspace.js from source, run the cursor install — it exits 0, prints "Done!", and ships the three hook scripts with an EMPTY hooks/lib/. The installed hook then throws `Cannot find module './lib/cursor-workspace.js'` at load, before its own try/catch, wedging every session — and nothing surfaces until a user hits it. The scan protected against a required-but-UNLISTED helper while leaving required-but-MISSING wide open (typo, bad rebase, an accidental delete). It now throws: a missing helper source is a packaging bug and aborts the install. M1 — hooks/lib/cursor-workspace.js carried a `gsd-hook-version: <placeholder>` marker that NOTHING substitutes: copyLibDir stamps .sh files only, and writeCursorHooksJson's staging applies just the colon-to-dash rewrite. Verified the literal was reaching disk on both the bulk (--claude) and Cursor (--cursor) paths. hooks/lib/git-cmd.js — the only pre-existing hooks/lib/*.js — carries no such marker, so this was newly introduced, not inherited. Marker removed, matching that precedent, with a note on why. (The explanatory comment deliberately does not spell the token out, or it would reintroduce the literal.) M2 — the require-scan regex demanded the exact compact form, so `require( "./lib/x.js" )` would silently fail to stage its helper and compound H1. Now tolerant of interior whitespace and either quote style. Regression test added for H1 — the reviewer confirmed the invariant had zero coverage repo-wide: a source tree carrying the hooks but no hooks/lib/ must make writeCursorHooksJson throw rather than produce a broken install. Re-verified end to end: the missing-source case throws, no unsubstituted literal ships, and the installed hook still resolves the workspace from a foreign cwd.

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.
