* docs(#2775): align package-legitimacy docs to the ADR-0656 registry-API gate security-model.md, USER-GUIDE.md, ARCHITECTURE.md, COMMANDS.md, FEATURES.md, and gsd-planner.md's STRIDE template (+ ja-JP mirrors) described the pre-ADR-0656 design: slopcheck as the install-or-degrade gate, with unavailability degrading every package to [ASSUMED]. ADR-0656 inverted this months ago — registry-API verdicts (npm/PyPI/ crates.io) are the gate; slopcheck is an optional escalate-only adapter that no shipped configuration wires. Verified every replacement claim against src/package-legitimacy.cts (checkPackages, classifyPackage, lookupNpm/lookupPypi/lookupCrates) via Memtrace before writing it, so the corrected prose matches the live implementation rather than restating the ADR from memory. Restored docs/explanation/security-model.md:79-84 (and its ja-JP mirror) to original wording after an orthogonal spec review caught that an earlier draft had edited the "Why WebSearch packages are always [ASSUMED]" paragraph — inside the range issue #2775 explicitly named as correct and to leave alone. The ja-JP mirror was missing the closing clause present in the corrected English original ("its absence leaves registry-API verdicts intact rather than downgrading everything to [ASSUMED]") — added for parity. This completes the ja-JP mirror the issue's acceptance criteria named explicitly. zh-CN/ko-KR/pt-BR (not named by #2775, but carrying the same stale design) get the mechanical portion of the same fix: command-string swaps, table headers, ARCHITECTURE.md diagram labels, and technical- term swaps that reuse a word already attested elsewhere in the same file (合法性/적법성/legitimidade for "legitimacy") — surrounding prose untouched. The remainder in those three locales — full-paragraph rewrites of the corrected degrade-path mechanism, deleted "External dependency" bullets, and "manually install slopcheck" code blocks — needs prose composed by a fluent speaker of each language and is filed as open-gsd/gsd-core#3002 with an exact file:line inventory. * test(#2775): acknowledge gsd-planner.md byte growth from the STRIDE-row fix agents/gsd-planner.md grew 14 bytes (49309 -> 49323) from the STRIDE supply-chain row correction (slopcheck -> package-legitimacy gate). Emitted agent/workflow files are byte-tracked; this fragment acknowledges the growth per tests/emitted-attribution.test.cjs's "differential attribution over the real tree" check. * docs(#2775): close ja-JP FEATURES.md gap; fix a ko-KR transliterated heading docs/ja-JP/FEATURES.md:2808 still read the katakana transliteration "スロップチェック verdict" in REQ-PKG-GATE-01 — invisible to a literal "slopcheck" grep, so it was missed when ja-JP parity was checked and declared complete. Corrected to "正当性判定" (legitimacy verdict), matching the term already established in ja-JP/explanation/ security-model.md and ja-JP/USER-GUIDE.md. This was the only remaining ja-JP gap; a full sweep for the transliterated form across docs/ja-JP/ now returns zero hits, and the ja-JP mirror is genuinely at parity. docs/ko-KR/USER-GUIDE.md:398's heading "슬롭체크 판정:" had the same transliteration problem. Fixed inline to "적법성 판정:", reusing the 적법성/legitimacy word already attested two lines below in the same table. A parallel sweep of zh-CN and pt-BR found no transliterated forms of "slopcheck" in either locale. The remaining transliterated occurrence in ko-KR (USER-GUIDE.md:406, the lead-in to the pip-install code block) needs prose composition like the rest of that block and is added to open-gsd/gsd-core#3002's inventory. * chore(#2775): backfill changeset PR number to 3010 --------- Co-authored-by: sim <sim@local>
GSD Core documentation
Documentation is organised into four quadrants: tutorials help you learn by doing, how-to guides solve specific tasks, reference states authoritative facts, and explanation explores concepts and design decisions.
Language versions: English · Português (pt-BR) · 日本語 · 简体中文
Tutorials
- Your first project — install to first shipped phase, one guaranteed path
- Onboarding an existing codebase — bring GSD Core to a brownfield repo
- Build your first capability — author a tiny declarative capability and watch it act in the loop
- Install your first capability — install a third-party capability end-to-end: consent, verify, check for updates, remove
How-to guides
- Install on your runtime — runtime-specific install steps for all 16 supported runtimes
- Install a minimal GSD and add skills later — install only the core skills, then grow the surface with profiles and
/gsd:surface - Attach a plugin-provided skill to a GSD agent — use the
global:plugin:skillentry form to load Claude Code plugin skills into agent prompts - Discuss a phase — capture implementation decisions before planning begins
- Resolve edge-coverage findings — turn the spec phase's surfaced domain-boundary edges into covered, dismissed, or backstopped spec decisions
- Resolve prohibition findings — turn the spec phase's surfaced must-NOT constraints into resolved, dismissed, or deferred spec decisions
- Plan a phase — run research, decompose work, and verify plan quality
- Execute a phase — run plans in parallel waves with fresh-context subagents
- Verify and ship — walk through completed work, diagnose failures, and create the PR
- Run phases autonomously — use autonomous mode for unattended phase execution
- Handle quick and fast tasks — use
/gsd-quickand/gsd-fastfor ad-hoc work outside the phase loop - Configure model profiles — switch between quality, balanced, and budget model tiers
- Set up cross-AI review — configure a second AI to review code produced by the primary agent
- Work in parallel with workstreams — run independent lines of work simultaneously using workstreams
- Isolate work with workspaces — use workspaces to sandbox experimental or risky changes
- Debug a failed execution — diagnose and recover from broken or incomplete phase execution
- Spike and sketch — use
/gsd-spikeand/gsd-sketchfor exploratory work before committing to a plan - Design a UI phase — use the UI phase loop for frontend and visual work
- Develop a Capability for GSD 1.5+ — add feature Capabilities, hook fragments, and registry entries
- Ship a reviewer lane in your capability — declare a
reviewerbody so/gsd-reviewdiscovers, invokes, and renders your external review CLI or model endpoint - List your reviewer lane in the registry — publish a lane you have built to the Reviewer Lane Registry so other people can find and install it
- Take over a capability or EoS integration — assume maintainership of an existing third-party capability, reviewer lane, or EoS host integration through a handoff, an adoption fork, first-party absorption, or a de-listing
- Add or update a host's integration — set a host's documentation-sourced
runtime.hostIntegrationaxes (ADR-1239 Phase A), with theundocumentedsentinel rule - Turn a capability off (and keep it off) — disable a capability via the surface, or gate individual hooks off without removing the capability
- Drive GSD from a tracker issue — start a phase from a GitHub, Linear, or Jira issue
- Migrate from GSD 2 — upgrade an existing GSD 2 project to GSD Core
- Update GSD — re-run the installer to pick up the latest release
- Clean up get-shit-done-cc — remove leftover old-package artifacts that cause a spurious
⬆ /gsd:updateindicator after migrating to@opengsd/gsd-core - Fix the worktree base-mismatch (exit 42) error — resolve the branch-divergence condition that halts parallel phase execution
- Recover and troubleshoot — fix common problems, rebuild context, and uninstall

Explanation
- Context engineering — how context rot forms and how GSD Core prevents it
- The phase loop — design rationale for the Discuss → Plan → Execute → Verify → Ship cycle
- Multi-agent orchestration — how subagents are spawned, scoped, and coordinated
- Security model — trust boundaries, permissions, and safe automation
- The capability trust model — why third-party capabilities are gated by consent + integrity + reversibility, not a sandbox
- How overlay capabilities compose — why first-party always wins and how the loader resolves precedence, conflicts, and fail-open load-failure warnings
- Architecture — system architecture, agent model, and data flow
- The Embeddable Orchestration System — one public, versioned contract for embedding GSD across many hosts
- Discuss modes — assumptions mode vs interview mode for
/gsd-discuss-phase - Context monitoring — context window monitoring hook architecture
- Issue-driven orchestration — recipe for driving GSD from a tracker issue using existing primitives
