{"slug": "gsd-npm-get-shit-done-cc-is-now-opengsd", "title": "GSD [NPM get-shit-done-cc] is now OpenGSD", "summary": "OpenGSD, the open-source rebuild of the popular AI coding tool GSD, launched as a community-driven platform designed to eliminate context bloat and improve code verification. The tool operates across CLI, desktop, and cloud surfaces, using fresh subagent contexts and structured artifacts to maintain clean sessions and honest git histories. OpenGSD aims to replace the original prompt framework with a deterministic harness that manages branches, commits, and crash recovery autonomously.", "body_md": "Most AI coding setups rot as the context window fills. Open GSD keeps the context clean, the work verified, and the git history honest — ship more, worry less.\n\nWorks on macOS, Windows, and Linux.\n\n## Rebuilding in public, with the community at the center.\n\nTransparency, accountability, and long-term utility over hype.

It worked — but it was fighting the tool, hoping the LLM would follow instructions. gsd-pi controls the harness itself.\n\n- Injects prompts through slash commands\n- Hopes the LLM follows the instructions\n- No real control over the context window\n- No control over sessions or execution\n\n- Clears context between tasks, deterministically\n- Injects exactly the right files at dispatch time\n- Manages branches, commits, cost & tokens\n- Detects stuck loops and recovers from crashes\n\nOne command. Walk away. Come back to a built project with clean git history.\n\n## Why it works\n\nThree things most AI-coding setups get wrong — and how Open GSD fixes each.\n\n### No context bloat\n\nAs a session grows, quality degrades. Open GSD keeps your main context clean by doing the heavy work in fresh subagent contexts — researchers, planners, and executors each start with exactly what they need.\n\n### Shared memory\n\nStructured artifacts survive session boundaries: vision, scope, roadmap, current position, and per-phase decisions. Every new session loads them and knows exactly where things stand.\n\n### Real verification\n\nCode that 'runs' isn't code that 'works'. Open GSD walks through what was built, diagnoses failures with dedicated debug agents, and generates fix plans before a phase is declared done.\n\n## What we’re building next.\n\nSafer auto mode, two new surfaces, faster daily use. The roadmap is open — read it, push back, build with us.\n\n### Safer auto mode\n\nReconciliation runs before every dispatch. Fail-closed worktree safety. Real recovery categories instead of catch-all errors.\n\n### Desktop workbench\n\nAn Electron app that walks you through Discuss → Plan → Execute → Verify → Ship. Projects, threads, plans — all visible.\n\n### Hosted cloud\n\nA managed SaaS that syncs your GSD projects, sessions, and workflow state across every device. Kick off plans from your phone.\n\n### Faster, leaner sessions\n\nFast-path simple CLI commands. Lower startup overhead. Better token accounting. Long-session stability you can trust.", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/gsd-npm-get-shit-done-cc-is-now-opengsd", "canonical_source": "https://www.opengsd.net/", "published_at": "2026-05-26 03:25:08+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-05-26 03:37:42.358097+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["ai-tools", "ai-agents", "ai-products", "ai-startups", "ai-infrastructure"], "entities": ["OpenGSD", "Claude Code", "Codex", "Gemini CLI", "Cursor", "Windsurf", "Copilot", "get-shit-done"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/gsd-npm-get-shit-done-cc-is-now-opengsd", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/gsd-npm-get-shit-done-cc-is-now-opengsd.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/gsd-npm-get-shit-done-cc-is-now-opengsd.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/gsd-npm-get-shit-done-cc-is-now-opengsd.jsonld"}}
