The rebase onto next brought in #2755, which added a SECOND Kimi config home — kimi-code's `~/.kimi-code`, overridden by KIMI_CODE_HOME — declared as an inline object literal inside resolveKimiHooksTomlDir's body. That is the resolvable-but-not-enumerable shape round 3 hoisted KIMI_SHARE_DIR out of, so the hoist is extended to cover both descriptors rather than reverting #2755's parameterization. The scrub set was already complete: KIMI_CODE_HOME is declared in capabilities/kimi-code/capability.json, so the registry rung covered it and CONFIG_LOCATION_ENV_KEYS is 28 keys both before and after the rebase. What was NOT covered is the guard — resolveExtraWatchTargets iterates NON_REGISTRY_CONFIG_HOME_DESCRIPTORS, so with only one entry it watched Kimi CLI's config.toml and never Kimi Code's. Targets go 2 -> 3. The existing 'extra targets are DERIVED from the descriptor array' test cannot catch this: it builds its expectation FROM the array, so removing an entry shrinks the expectation with it. Verified — with the kimi-code descriptor removed that test still passes while the new named test fails. This is the enumeration-relative scope boundary the suite already documents one layer down, biting one layer up. Also rewrites NON_REGISTRY_OWNED_FILE's docblock, which asserted "today's only such descriptor is kimi's ~/.kimi". There are now two, and its named residual is load-bearing rather than vacuous.
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.
