* feat(#3587): add a per-phase commit_docs override Delivers epic #2292's second user story: commit an architecture phase's artifacts while execution phases stay local. commit_docs was project-wide and binary, so the only choices were all phases or none. Shape is a config dynamic key phase_commit_docs.<phase-id>, following the 14 existing dynamicKeyPatterns precedents rather than inventing a PLAN.md frontmatter spec -- which #2292 itself flags as becoming its own maintenance surface. Tier 1 resolves in cmdCommit, NOT in loadConfig: loadConfig has no phase context and is called by nearly every command, so threading one through it to serve a single caller would be a far larger blast radius for no gain. The phase comes from detectPhaseNumberFromFiles, which cmdCommit already computes for branch naming and which is already hardened against the #2539 project-code bug. Suppression by the per-phase tier returns its own reason rather than reusing skipped_commit_docs_false -- telling a user their project setting is false when it is true would be actively misleading. Additive; the two existing reason strings that agents/gsd-executor.md matches on are unchanged. The manifest's phase-id pattern is a hand-copy of PHASE_NUMBER_TOKEN_SOURCE because the manifest is hand-maintained JSON, so a behavioral parity test asserts both surfaces accept and reject the same token shapes. * fix(#3587): fold tests, close review findings, update reference docs Fold: the new tests were added as their own file, which required loosening a grandfathered lint-test-file-count bucket 5-to-6. A ratchet exists to go down only. commit-docs-bypass.test.cjs is the established commit_docs test home and already hosts two folded suites, so the tests fold there as a third block and the allowlist is reverted untouched. Standards review: CONTEXT.md and the test header both cited a phase-commit-docs-manifest-parity.test.cjs that never existed; a repo-wide sweep found a fourth stale cite in the schema manifest description. All four now name the real location. Spec review: the issue's Scope of changes named planning-config.md and git-planning-commit.md and neither was touched. Both now document the four-tier precedence and the new skip reason. Security review, minor and unproven: detectPhaseNumberFromFiles returns the FIRST matching path's phase, so a --files list spanning two phases resolves the override against whichever comes first. That helper is hardened and widely used, so it is not changed; the behavior is pinned by a named test and disclosed in the design and user docs. A pinned behavior is not a bug; an unpinned surprise is. * chore(#3587): backfill changeset pr number to 3601 --------- Co-authored-by: sim <sim@local>
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.
