Tom Boucher cbd180c5cd test(#3147): bound the lint/changeset/docs cluster onto the process seam (#3181)
* test(#3147): bound the lint/changeset/docs cluster onto the process seam

Migrates 69 unbounded sync spawn sites across 24 files. Allowlist 73 to 49.

Two shared helpers move: tests/helpers/graphify.cjs (6 importing suites) and
tests/fixtures/index.cjs, whose three quoted-argument shell strings became
single argv elements rather than whitespace splits.

changeset-lint's throw-native git() helper routes to gitOrThrow; migrating it
to bare runGit would have silently swallowed a failure that is loud today.
ingest-docs goes the other way -- its catch never rethrew, it degraded failure
into data every call site asserts on, so throwIfFailed would have thrown where
the original returned. The design doc said otherwise and was corrected.

tsconfig-noemit runs a real tsc --noEmit and takes a bespoke 180000ms per the
ensure-runtime-build precedent, not the 30000ms build-hooks norm -- that norm
is for a file copy, and sizing against a label rather than the work is the
same error in the opposite direction.

* test(#3147): add toLegacyResult and settle review findings

The seam exposed a throwing adapter (throwIfFailed) but no non-throwing one,
so eight files independently re-derived the same unwrap back to the legacy
{status, stdout, stderr} shape. That is the third time this epic produced N
copies of one mechanism -- seven throw wrappers in Wave 1, fifty-two timeout
constants in Wave 2, eight result adapters here. The pattern is that whenever
the seam does not expose a mechanism, every suite re-derives it.

toLegacyResult now sits beside throwIfFailed, with its own tests.

Two sites are deliberately NOT converted: changeset-cli's runRender and
runRenderIn return {status, report, stderr} from parsed JSON and never a raw
stdout, so they are a different shape family. lint-legacy-dir-name keeps its
local GUARD_TIMEOUT_MS: 30000 matches the build norm numerically but bounds a
lint probe, not hooks bundling, and importing it would encode a coincidence
as a relationship.

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:

  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.
