* fix(#3544): restore tilde form for at-refs in the global spec tree A global claude install emitted @$HOME/.claude/gsd-core/references/*.md in its workflows and references. $HOME does not expand in a Claude Code @-import - only relative, absolute and ~ are documented, and a controlled /context test confirmed a $HOME import loads nothing - so 54 includes across 22 files silently resolved to nothing on a live install. This is a divergence, not a new bug. #3133 already applies exactly this correction to skill and command bodies through _applyRuntimeRewrites's claude case; copyWithPathReplacement, the spec-tree emit path, never had it. Both now call one exported helper, so the two surfaces cannot drift apart again. Deliberately narrower than changing computePathPrefix's return value: shipped markdown also carries double-quoted "$HOME/.claude/..." shell invocations, and ~ does not expand inside double quotes, so rewriting the prefix wholesale would regress #1284. Only @-prefixed references move. Refs #3544 * fix(#3544): derive the tilde restore from the resolved prefix Three review findings, one batch. The restore was hardcoded to the literal .claude directory, so a global install with --config-dir pointing anywhere else silently no-opped and reproduced the very defect this fixes. It now derives the tilde form from the resolved prefix, which also closes the same latent gap in #3133's original path since both call sites share the helper. The @-anchor is quote-aware, so a double-quoted shell path is never rewritten into a form the shell does not expand. Deliberately a lookbehind rather than a line-start anchor: @-references are documented to work mid-line, and anchoring would have traded a theoretical bug for a real one. Found while testing the above: the bare-form rewrites re-matched their own output whenever a config dir name extends .claude, emitting .claude-work-work. Guarded with the same negative-lookahead convention this file already uses to preserve .claude-plugin. The tests prove the emitted form, never that the host resolves it - no CI test can - and both the helper and the suite now say so, because an undocumented verification boundary is how this defect stayed green for its whole life. Refs #3544 * test(#3544): acknowledge the tilde-restore emitted drift The converter change moves 94 emitted paths that no source-file diff can explain, which is exactly the case the per-PR ack fragment exists for. Verified before acknowledging rather than after: both trees were built from real installs and every one of the 211 changed lines across all 94 paths is @$HOME becoming @~, with nothing outside that single kind. Nine spent entries were pruned from the #3151 and #2658 fragments. Those paths moved again here, and two ack sources naming one path is a hard duplicate error rather than last-wins, so the inert entries had to go before this one could land. Both fragments retain their remaining entries. Refs #3544 * chore(#3544): backfill changeset pr number --------- Co-authored-by: sim <sim@local>
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.
