* fix(#4730): decode entity-escaped ampersands before verify-command-paths segment splitting Planners emit <automated> bodies with the chain operator entity-escaped (`&&`), and the executing agent reads the decoded (rendered) form. The grounding probe split the raw text on &&/||/;/newline without decoding first, so `&&` was cut at its semicolons and a cd-form target absorbed the trailing `&` fragment — an existing directory was reported missing_dir (blocker), feeding false blockers into the revision loop. Decode `&` → `&` inside resolveVerifyCommandTarget, after result.command captures the text verbatim and before any segment splitting or target resolution, so the escaped and literal forms of the same command produce identical verdicts. Module-private helper beside splitSegments, mirroring the sibling src/verify.cts decodeEntityAmps (#3611); the two gates are separate modules and neither imports the other. Regression coverage pins escaped/literal verdict parity for: existing dir + manifest (ok), missing dir (missing_dir blocker kept), dir without manifest (no_manifest blocker kept), --prefix form, a literal & inside a quoted dir name, and a full probePhaseVerifyCommands pass whose reported command field stays verbatim. * docs(#4730): use the documented pr:0 placeholder in the changeset fragment The fragment carried pr: 4730 — the ISSUE number, the exact guess-shape DEFECT.CHANGESET-PR-FIELD-DRIFT (#3316, #3325) exists to catch: it parses as a positive integer so local lint passed, but on a real PR run the drift check would fail it against the actual PR number. CONTRIBUTING.md documents pr: 0 as the deliberate unresolved placeholder used during initial commit before the PR number exists (scripts/changeset/new.cjs accepts 0 for exactly this reason); the gate's fail_invalid_fragment on an unbackfilled 0 is the designed backfill enforcement, not a defect. No production or test changes. Backfill pr: with the real PR number once the PR is created. * docs(#4730): backfill changeset pr field with the real PR number pr: 0 → pr: 4755 (the PR carrying this fix), completing the documented placeholder workflow; the changeset gate's content validation can now pass. --------- Co-authored-by: TwistedRiCen <16397953+TwistedRiCen@users.noreply.github.com> Co-authored-by: Tom Boucher <trekkie@nomorestars.com>
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.
