Tom Boucher cf70d8251a chore: merge release v1.4.5 to main (#1142)
* chore: bump version to 1.4.5 for hotfix

* fix(#1133): honor model_policy on the claude runtime via alias mapping

model_policy (including the anthropic-fable Claude Fable 5 preset) was
silently ignored on the default `claude` runtime: resolveModelInternal
gated the policy branch on `runtime !== 'claude'`, so agents kept
resolving from model_profile and no warning was emitted.

Wire model_policy into the claude path: map the policy-resolved model ID
back to a Claude Code agent alias (claude-fable-5 -> fable, claude-opus-4-8
-> opus, etc.). A value that is already a bare alias is returned as-is; an
ID with no Claude alias warns once to stderr and falls back to the
configured tier alias rather than emitting an unspawnable ID. Non-claude
runtimes return full IDs verbatim (unchanged) and resolveModelForTier
precedence is unchanged.

Authored against the v1.4.4 base (src/core.cts) for the 1.4.5 hotfix
line — NOT next, where this logic lives in src/model-resolver.cts; the
forward-port to next is a separate follow-up.

Closes #1133

GSD Core

Git. Ship. Done.

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.

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, 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, Gemini 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.
