* test(#2850): add failing-first tests for workstream statusline state readGsdState only ever reads the flat .planning/STATE.md via a directory walk-up; it has no path for .planning/workstreams/<ws>/STATE.md and never consults GSD_WORKSTREAM or the stored active-workstream pointer, so the GSD-state segment silently disappears in workstream mode. These tests prove the RED before the fix lands. Uses shared saveSessionEnv/restoreSessionEnv/clearSessionEnv helpers now added to tests/helpers.cjs (single source of truth for the session-env-var save/clear/restore pattern also used by tests/active-workstream-store.unit.test.cjs, which is updated here to consume the same shared helpers instead of its own local, already-diverged copy). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * fix(#2850): resolve active workstream in the statusline readGsdState only ever walked up looking for a flat .planning/STATE.md; it had no branch for .planning/workstreams/<ws>/STATE.md and never consulted GSD_WORKSTREAM or the stored active-workstream pointer, so the GSD-state segment silently vanished in workstream-mode projects with no root STATE.md (exit 0, no diagnostic). Reuses the existing CLI>env>store resolution seam (resolveActiveWorkstream, active-workstream-store.cts) and the existing mode-detection/path-building seam (listAvailableWorkstreams/planningPaths, planning-workspace.cts) rather than re-implementing either inline. When workstream mode is detected but nothing resolves, readGsdState now returns a {noActiveWorkstream:true} sentinel that formatGsdState/formatGsdStateCompact render as "no active workstream" -- observable, never silent emptiness. Flat-mode behavior and the case where a resolved workstream has no STATE.md yet are both unchanged. Adds active-workstream-store.cts's peekActiveWorkstream: a read-only sibling of getActiveWorkstream. resolveActiveWorkstream's default store lookup self-heals a stale/invalid pointer by deleting it (adapter.clear()) -- correct for a command, but not for a renderer invoked once per prompt, which must never mutate persistent, possibly cross-session state as a side effect of drawing a screen. The statusline now injects peekActiveWorkstream via resolveActiveWorkstream's own getStored override, keeping the env>store precedence itself fully reused while removing only the store tier's write side effect. This satisfies the issue's AC4 ("the fix is purely additive to what's displayed").

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.
