* fix(#1660): fail-closed frontmatter set of object-list fields instead of silent no-op cmdFrontmatterSet reported {updated:true} even when spliceFrontmatter returned the content unchanged, which happened whenever the new value's extractFrontmatter projection equalled the original's — notably for object-list fields like must_haves, whose {path,provides} items flatten to scalar strings under the lossy parser. Detect a no-op (newContent === content) for a dict-valued field and surface an error directing the user to edit the file directly, instead of silently accepting a no-op set. Scalars and scalar arrays round-trip faithfully, so idempotent sets of those are intentionally NOT flagged (two precision regression tests lock this). Folded into frontmatter-cli.test.cjs. * chore(#1660): backfill changeset pr ref to 1664 * refactor(#1660): extract noOpObjectListSetError as pure tested helper (Stryker coverage) cmdFrontmatterSet is not in Stryker's property/unit test set, so the inline no-op detection added survivors that dropped the frontmatter module below its 62% mutation threshold. Extract the detection into a pure exported helper noOpObjectListSetError and unit-test every branch directly (changed content, scalar, scalar-array, null, dict no-op). cmdFrontmatterSet now calls the helper. Same pattern as the #1572 spliceFrontmatter coverage fix.
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.
