* refactor(#1679): ADR-1239 Phase B — collapse is<Runtime> flag blocks into runtimeFlags [AC2 slice 3]

Phase 2 AC2 slice 3. Collapses the four duplicated 'const isX = runtime === x'
declaration blocks in bin/install.js (uninstall / writeManifest / install / a
fourth helper — 48 of the 101 remaining runtime=== branches) into a single
runtimeFlags(runtime) helper in src/runtime-name-policy.cts, sibling to
getDirName / getRuntimeLabel / getGlobalConfigHomeFragment.

The purest add-a-host tax: a new runtime meant remembering to add ~12 flag lines
to each of four functions. Now it is one entry in RUNTIME_FLAG_IDS.

- src/runtime-name-policy.cts: RUNTIME_FLAG_IDS + runtimeFlags(runtime) -> frozen
  map of is<Runtime> booleans (single runtime=== source, via loop).
- bin/install.js: import runtimeFlags; replace the 4 declaration blocks with one
  destructure each. ZERO usage-site churn (flag names preserved; install.js's
  eslint block has no no-unused-vars rule so destructure-all is clean).
- tests/runtime-flags.test.cjs: 4 tests (each runtime sets exactly its flag,
  claude/unknown/empty -> all false, all 15 flags present + frozen, drift guard).

runtime === count: 101 -> 53 (-48). golden-install-parity 16/16 byte-identical
(behavior-identical collapse). AC2 data-collapse now substantially complete;
ADR-1235 agent-loop tail + per-runtime semantic residue remain (separate).

* chore(changeset): add Changed fragment for runtimeFlags collapse (#1679)

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:

  1. Discuss — capture implementation decisions before anything is planned
  2. Plan — research, decompose, and verify the plan fits a fresh context window
  3. Execute — run plans in parallel waves; each executor starts with a clean 200k-token context
  4. Verify — walk through what was built; diagnose and fix before declaring done
  5. 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.
