GSD Core (Get Shit Done)
Spec-driven, context-engineered phase loop: discuss, plan, execute, verify, ship.
GSD Core is the successor to the archived get-shit-done project: a spec-driven phase loop for coding agents.
GSD Core runs in Claude Code and also in OpenCode, Antigravity CLI, Kimi CLI, Kilo, Codex, Copilot, Cursor and Windsurf. Published by Open GSD under the MIT license, it drives a spec-driven, context-engineered phase loop: discuss, plan, execute, verify, ship. It fights context rot by running heavy work in fresh subagents and keeping state in files like STATE.md and CONTEXT.md.
The gsd-build/get-shit-done project is now archived and redirects to this repository. The installer configures commands and agents for your chosen runtime; the README says not to copy files manually.
