Fold Claude Code's install/uninstall onto the Embeddable Orchestration System
(ADR-1239 Phase D). claude is GSD's tier-1 reference host, but its install path
was still driven by 13 hardcoded `runtime === 'claude'` string-equality branches
scattered across bin/install.js rather than the public Host-Integration Interface.
- Route install()/uninstall() through `createImperativeAdapter({runtime})` — the
adapter delegates to the SAME installRuntimeArtifacts/uninstallRuntimeArtifacts
engine calls, so output is byte-identical (proven pre/post, both scopes).
- Replace all 13 `runtime === 'claude'` / `runtime !== 'claude'` branches with
descriptor-driven `runtime.hostBehaviors` lookups on capabilities/claude/
capability.json (attributionSource, authorsCanonicalWorkflow, localInstallStyle,
permissionsSchema, settingsFileByScope, sourceMarkerFile, agentFrontmatterExtensions,
ownsClaudePaths, nativeModelAliases, skillsGlobalOnboarding). Behavior is
identical; the brittle string-equality coupling (the add-a-host tax) is gone.
- Single-source the scattered literal 'claude' defaults/rosters behind DEFAULT_RUNTIME.
- Extend golden-install-parity to assert the claude LOCAL legacy layout is
byte-identical too (AC1 "both scopes"); exclude the platform-varying
settings.local.json (same reason settings.json is excluded).
- New tests/claude-imperative-reference.test.cjs: adapter kind, programmatic-cli
profile, fail-closed negotiation on a corrupted/partial descriptor, and an AC2
source guard that no `runtime === 'claude'` branch remains.
No user-visible install-output change (internal architecture only).

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.
