* fix(#1146): single base-branch resolver across forking workflows Replaces duplicated per-workflow bash detection that silently fell through to :-main on repos where origin/HEAD is unset (git init+remote add+fetch without set-head, most CI checkouts, many worktrees). New CJS module git-base-branch.cjs exposes `gsd_run query git.base-branch` with full precedence ladder: git.base_branch config override → origin/HEAD symref → git remote show origin (authoritative) → local branch presence → "main". All git subprocesses bounded with timeouts; degrades gracefully. Wires execute-phase, quick, ship, complete-milestone, and pr-branch to the single resolver. Removes 14 lines of duplicated detection bash across the five workflows. Includes 7 behavioral tests covering the full precedence ladder including the key regression case (master repo, origin/HEAD unset → must return "master", NOT "main") and an anti-regression guard that fails if any workflow re-introduces the :-main/:-master fallback pattern.

Content preserved externally for PR body use. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com> * test(#1146): add tests for flat base_branch config key and both-branch tie-break Closes two mutation gaps identified in adversarial review: - A2: flat {base_branch: ...} at config root (legacy key form) was covered by code but unguarded against mutation of lines 74-75 in resolver - H: tier-4 tie-break when both main+master exist locally (main wins, per tryLocalBranch JSDoc) was documented but untested 9/9 tests pass.

Adding a || fallback ladder (git symbolic-ref then echo main) keeps the unified resolver as primary in real workflows while letting the test harness succeed without gsd_run defined. Also propagates updated runtime-launcher preamble to pr-branch.md (added in origin/next MemPalace PR) and regenerates workflow-size-baseline.json.

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.
