* chore(#2143): bounded-mutation seam (withSection/withPhaseSection) + phase.cts migration — Phase 2 Phase 2 of epic #2143 (ADR-2143 §4): add a bounded-mutation primitive so a per-phase ROADMAP edit is structurally confined to that phase's own section, and migrate the phase-scoped mutation sites in `phase.cts` onto it. - `src/markdown-sectionizer.cts`: `withSection(content, target, edit, opts?)` — resolves a section via `collectSection` and applies `edit` to ONLY that section's body, re-serialising via `replaceSection`. The edit callback sees only the section body, so any regex it runs is physically confined. - `src/roadmap-parser.cts`: `withPhaseSection(content, phaseId, edit)` — resolves a phase's `### Phase N` detail-section heading via the #2121 phase-id source and delegates to `withSection`. Heading match is anchored to the heading start (a sibling phase whose title mentions the number is not hijacked) and bounds at the next ATX heading of any level (`levelBounded:false`). - `src/phase.cts`: `mutateMilestonePhase`'s plan-count and per-plan-checkbox writes now route through `withPhaseSection` — structurally retiring the #2130 / #2067 / #2080 boundary-crossing class for these sites. The phase-LIST checkbox is intentionally left milestone-slice-scoped (it lives outside any `### Phase N` detail section). Cross-phase renumbering is untouched. - Property test (fast-check): editing phase k leaves every sibling section byte-identical; regression tests for title-collision + mixed heading depth. Behaviour-preserving (verified by old-vs-new differential runs on real fixtures). Extend-never-mutate (ADR-2143 §2). Registration: CONTEXT.md + docs/INVENTORY.md export lists.

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
New here? Follow Your first project for a guided walkthrough from install to first shipped phase, or Onboarding an existing codebase for brownfield setup.

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.
