* feat(#3545): widen no-source-grep with one-hop path-fold and hooks dir Resolve a readFileSync() path argument that is a bare Identifier one hop back to its VariableDeclarator initializer before classification, and recognize `hooks` as a source directory alongside bin/lib/gsd-core/src. Measured (epic #3464 phase 7): fold+hooks together newly flag 76 unsuppressed sites across 18 files that were previously invisible to identifier-indirected or hooks/-rooted source reads. Neither widening alone is sufficient — hooks-only surfaces 0 new sites, confirming #3520's prior finding that the identifier-indirection gap must close first. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * test(#3545): migrate 76 sites newly flagged by the fold+hooks widening Per-site classification: rewrite behaviorally (require() the real module, assert on its actual exported behavior) wherever the read was a proxy for code behavior; add a site-scoped `// allow-test-rule: <reason> (#3545)` marker only where the raw source text genuinely is the product under test (codex-config.test.cjs's adapter-header-contract checks, install.js structural-wiring guards with no exported symbol, AST-parse fixture inputs, etc.) — each marker cites an existing repo-sanctioned category from CONTRIBUTING.md's allow-test-rule exception table. Also converts two try/finally test bodies (introduced during this same migration) to the required t.after() cleanup pattern per CONTRIBUTING.md. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * chore(#3545): re-baseline effective-exemption ceiling to 81 The fold+hooks widening's own newly-detected sites are now suppressed by site-scoped markers, moving them from invisible into the tightly-ratcheted effective-exemption count. Ceiling rises from 10 to 81 (the exact measured high-water mark, grace unchanged at 2) — a deliberate, measured re-baseline per the widening working as intended, not an ordinary ceiling bump. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(#3545): use canonical allow-test-rule category tokens 4 markers added during migration cited an issue ref correctly but didn't use one of CONTRIBUTING.md's seven recognized category tokens, unlike every other marker in this change. Cosmetic only — same suppression lines, same effective/live counts (81/81, 0 live).

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.
