ADR-857 rollout phase 2b. Move the 6 ROADMAP.md-parsing functions (stripShippedMilestones, extractCurrentMilestone, replaceInCurrentMilestone, getRoadmapPhaseInternal, getMilestoneInfo, getMilestonePhaseFilter) + their interfaces out of core.cts into a new leaf module src/roadmap-parser.cts. core.cts re-exports them (behavior-preserving); ~9 external callers unchanged. Resolves the parse/write straddle: roadmap.cts (ROADMAP.md mutation) now imports its 3 parsing helpers from roadmap-parser.cjs directly instead of reaching through core. roadmap-parser depends only on leaves (phase-id, planning-workspace, shell-command-projection) — cycle-free, enabled by phase 2a. New-CLI-module checklist done (.gitignore, eslint, INVENTORY 92->93 + row, manifest, ARCHITECTURE, CONTEXT.md "Roadmap Parser Module"). Adds tests/roadmap-parser.test.cjs (46 tests: behavioral + shim-identity + adversarial ROADMAP.md fixtures). Adversarial review surfaced a pre-existing fence-blindness bug in getMilestonePhaseFilter (matches phase headings inside fenced code blocks); filed as #875 and left for a separate fix (out of scope for this behavior-preserving extraction). The two fenced-fixture tests characterize the current behavior with a #875 reference and flip when it's fixed. Gates: lint, code-review, security-review, codex adversarial-review (0 correctness findings). gsd-test: clean-build docker + Mac green; the full-suite docker run's "X is not a function" errors on re-exported symbols were local incremental-tsc staleness (verified: clean rebuild of the affected files = 195 pass, 0 fail; Mac = 4001 pass).

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, Gemini 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, Gemini 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, Gemini 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.
