* feat(#1243): consume Claude plugin-provided skills via native Skill-tool directive + grant Skill to agent_skills-consumer agents - Relax global skill name validation to accept namespaced form `^[A-Za-z0-9_-]+(:[A-Za-z0-9_-]+)*$` - Namespaced names (containing colon) on claude runtime emit a Skill-tool load directive instead of a @-include line - Namespaced names on non-claude runtimes are skipped with a warning - Bare unresolved names retain existing warn-and-skip behavior (no promotion to directive) - Grant `Skill` tool to all 22 agent_skills consumer agents; 5 generated agents updated via research-profiles.cjs + regen, 17 hand-authored agents edited directly - Add 16 TDD tests in describe('bug #1243') covering happy/mixed/precedence/negative/cross-runtime/regression/grant cases Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com> * docs(#1243): document plugin-provided skills in agent_skills Update the Agent Skills Injection reference in CONFIGURATION.md with the three entry forms (project-relative, global:<name>, global:<plugin>:<skill>), the Claude-only runtime behaviour of the namespaced form and the warn-skip on other runtimes, the plugin pre-install prerequisite, and the consumer-agent Skill tool grant. Add docs/how-to/attach-a-plugin-skill-to-a-gsd-agent.md with a step-by-step guide for installing the plugin, locating the namespaced skill name, wiring it into agent_skills, and verifying injection. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(#1243): align agent_skills docs with emitted block format + mixed-block regression test (code-review) - Replace two-section mixed-block example (bogus "Load these plugin-provided skills using the Skill tool:" header) with the actual single-section inline format in CONFIGURATION.md and docs/how-to/attach-a-plugin-skill-to-a-gsd-agent.md - Fix quoted warning text in how-to doc to exactly match the emitted string: [agent-skills] WARNING: Plugin-namespaced skill "global:<name>" requires a Skill-tool-capable runtime (claude) — skipping on runtime "<runtime>" - Replace phantom agent slugs (gsd-checker, gsd-researcher, gsd-advisor, gsd-synthesizer) in CONFIGURATION.md Supported Agent Types with real agents/gsd-*.md examples (gsd-plan-checker, gsd-phase-researcher, gsd-code-reviewer, gsd-ui-auditor, gsd-research-synthesizer) - Add byte-identical mixed-block regression test: one path-resolvable global skill + one plugin-namespaced skill on claude runtime → asserts r.ir.block === single-section interleaved block, no secondary header Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com> * chore(#1243): regenerate agent-size baseline for the Skill-tool grant The 22 agent_skills-consumer agents each grew +7 bytes from adding `Skill` to their tools list; refresh the committed per-agent size baseline (#1074 guard). * chore(#1243): add Added changeset fragment * fix(#1243): traceable allow-test-rule ref + separator-agnostic byte-identical tests (CI) Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com> --------- Co-authored-by: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
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, Gemini 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, Gemini 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, Gemini 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 your first project:
/gsd-new-project

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.
