* fix(#2415): close_phase_todos stages the pending/ deletion alongside completed/ Bug: the workflow step moved resolved todos from .planning/todos/pending/ to .planning/todos/completed/ with a plain 'mv', then committed listing ONLY the destination directory in --files: mv "$TODO_FILE" "$COMPLETED_DIR/" gsd_run query commit '...' --files .planning/todos/completed/ .planning/STATE.md Git's index still tracked the moved file at its old pending/<name>.md path. The commit therefore only staged the new completed/<name>.md copy — the deletion at pending/ was never staged, never committed, and lingered as an unstaged deletion in git status indefinitely until some later broad 'git add -A' caught it. The phase genuinely closed the todo, but the working tree was never clean. Fix: add .planning/todos/pending/ to the --files list. 'git add' of that directory (since git 2.0) stages deletions of tracked files in the pathspec, so the moved-away file is staged as a deletion atomically with the new completed/ copy in the same commit. Chose plain mv + two-dir --files over 'git mv' because git mv FAILS on: - untracked todos (new todo file not yet committed) - non-git .planning dirs (worktree safety / pre-init projects) Plain mv has neither failure mode. Regression tests in tests/close-phase-todos-stage-deletion.test.cjs (source-text-is-the-product: workflow .md text IS what the runtime loads) cover: - the commit --files list includes BOTH completed/ AND pending/ - the move uses plain 'mv' (not 'git mv') so untracked + non-git cases work * chore(#2415): trim commit subject to keep execute-phase.md under byte ceiling The fix added '.planning/todos/pending/' (~26 bytes) to the commit --files list. To stay under the ADR-857 Phase 6 pre-phase-6 byte ceiling margin (93400 bytes, hard ceiling 93600), shortened the commit subject from 'auto-close N todo(s) resolved by this phase' to 'close N resolved todo(s)'. Net change vs origin/next: +6 bytes (93384 → 93390), well under the margin. Also regenerates the golden-install-parity fixtures (execute-phase.md content-hash update across all runtimes). * chore(#2415): bump execute-phase.md workflow-size baseline (93384 → 93390) The +pending/ fix added 6 net bytes (93384 → 93390), still well under the ADR-857 Phase 6 pre-phase-6 byte ceiling margin (93400). * chore(changeset): backfill pr:2447 in .changeset/sturdy-wasps-run.md * fix(#2415): add issue ref to allow-test-rule annotation (ADR-456) CI lint-allow-test-rule-refs failed on the prior commit — ADR-456 requires '// allow-test-rule: <category> see #NNNN' so every exemption is traceable to an issue. Added 'see #2415' to the source-text-is-the-product annotation.
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.
