* feat(#2646): surface unresolved deferred-items.md at milestone close auditOpenArtifacts scanned eight categories; deferred-items.md was not among them. #2287 made that file readable at the PHASE boundary (audit-uat, /gsd-progress check 7), but one boundary up it stayed invisible — and phase directories archive to milestones/vX.Y-phases/ by default (#1871), so an out-of-scope discovery a phase agent correctly recorded rather than fixed left the live tree at milestone close having never reached the [R]/[A]/[C] prompt that exists to catch exactly this. Adds deferred_items as a ninth scanner plus its count, its items entry and its report section. The workflow needed no change: complete-milestone branches on "any section with count > 0", so the new category flows through the existing prompt. The resolved/unresolved predicate is NOT reimplemented. uat.cjs already exports parseDeferredItems, which owns the parsing rule (entries under a `## Deferred Items` level-2 heading, else the whole file fail-safe; RESOLVED only on an explicit case-insensitive `status: resolved` field). The scanner requires it lazily, inside the scan, so audit-command-router's property that a route never loads the module it does not need is preserved. Two readers of one file sharing one predicate is the point — duplicating the inequality is how they drift into disagreeing about what "open" means. Regression test proves fail-first: 9 of its 10 cases go red against the pre-change tree. The tenth is the deliberate no-regression boundary (a clean tree emits no section) and is green both ways.

Tabulates all nine with their source artifact and what makes each one "open", plus the [R]/[A]/[C] outcomes. Also disambiguates the one genuinely confusing thing: the per-phase deferred-items.md scanned here is NOT the `## Deferred Items` section the [A] path writes into STATE.md. Same name, different artifact, opposite ends of the flow.

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.
