# GSD [NPM get-shit-done-cc] is now OpenGSD > Source: > Published: 2026-05-26 03:25:08+00:00 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. Works on macOS, Windows, and Linux. ## Rebuilding in public, with the community at the center. Transparency, accountability, and long-term utility over hype. Here’s the commitment. [Read the promise →](/promise) Trusted by engineers at “By far the most powerful addition to my Claude Code. Nothing over-engineered. Code in, code shipped.” ## Pick your flavor. Four surfaces, one ecosystem. Drop into your existing AI tool, run the standalone CLI, open the native desktop workbench, or sign in to the hosted cloud. ### get-shit-done @opengsd/get-shit-done-reduxGuides your harness of choice and helps you Git. Ship. Done. - ›Works across 15+ runtimes — Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, Cursor, Windsurf, Copilot & more - ›Six commands, one loop: new-project → discuss → plan → execute → verify → ship - ›Solves context rot by doing heavy work in fresh subagent contexts - ›Structured artifacts survive session boundaries ### gsd-pi @opengsd/gsd-piThe CLI harness for autonomous execution and orchestration. - ›One command — /gsd auto — runs an entire milestone autonomously - ›Clears context between tasks and injects exactly the right files - ›Manages git branches, atomic commits, cost & token tracking - ›Detects stuck loops, recovers from crashes, runs headless in CI ### gsd-workbench macOS · LinuxManage projects, workflows, agents, and development pipelines — visually. - ›Project-centered workspace — Threads, Plans, Backlog, Worktrees, all visible - ›Guided plan mode walks you through each Workflow Stage with adaptive questions - ›First-class Plan Changes, Verification Evidence, and Ship Handoffs - ›Runs your local agent — your model, your repos, your filesystem ### gsd-cloud SaaS · cross-deviceAccess anywhere — your projects, sessions, and workflows move with you. - ›Hosted and managed — no infrastructure to run, no upgrades to babysit - ›Sync projects, sessions, and workflow state across every device you work from - ›Drive milestones, kick off plans, and ship from your phone, laptop, or tablet - ›One pane of glass across every project you have GSD running on Each interoperable. Same commands. Same workflows. Same results. Move between CLI, desktop, and cloud without relearning the ecosystem. ## From asking to doing The original GSD went viral as a prompt framework. It worked — but it was fighting the tool, hoping the LLM would follow instructions. gsd-pi controls the harness itself. - Injects prompts through slash commands - Hopes the LLM follows the instructions - No real control over the context window - No control over sessions or execution - Clears context between tasks, deterministically - Injects exactly the right files at dispatch time - Manages branches, commits, cost & tokens - Detects stuck loops and recovers from crashes One command. Walk away. Come back to a built project with clean git history. ## Why it works Three things most AI-coding setups get wrong — and how Open GSD fixes each. ### No context bloat As 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. ### Shared memory Structured artifacts survive session boundaries: vision, scope, roadmap, current position, and per-phase decisions. Every new session loads them and knows exactly where things stand. ### Real verification Code 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. ## What we’re building next. Safer auto mode, two new surfaces, faster daily use. The roadmap is open — read it, push back, build with us. ### Safer auto mode Reconciliation runs before every dispatch. Fail-closed worktree safety. Real recovery categories instead of catch-all errors. ### Desktop workbench An Electron app that walks you through Discuss → Plan → Execute → Verify → Ship. Projects, threads, plans — all visible. ### Hosted cloud A managed SaaS that syncs your GSD projects, sessions, and workflow state across every device. Kick off plans from your phone. ### Faster, leaner sessions Fast-path simple CLI commands. Lower startup overhead. Better token accounting. Long-session stability you can trust.
