Picking up the Pieces: Popular Spec-Driven Development tool abandoned, forked

A contributor has forked and taken over the popular spec-driven development tool "Get Shit Done" after its original creator allegedly abandoned the project to pursue cryptocurrency ventures. The contributor, who had been maintaining the project for months without contact from the creator since April 1st, announced the fork following what they described as a "rug pull" by the original developer. The new maintainer has pledged to continue development without any cryptocurrency involvement, conducting a security review of the codebase before moving forward.
