Open GSD — Git. Ship. Done.

Git. Ship.Done. forAI-assistedengineering.

Open GSD keeps agentic work from dissolving into context bloat: explicit plans, clean execution contexts, real verification, and git history that tells the truth.

Built for agentic engineering

From intent to shipped, without losing control.

GSD is not another chat prompt. It is an operating loop for getting useful work out of AI coding tools without losing scope, state, or verification.

Explicit plans

Structured task graphs keep agents aligned and auditable.

Clean execution contexts

Right-sized context for every step. No bloat, no drift.

Real verification

Automated checks and human-readable evidence you can trust.

Choose the surface. Keep the loop.

Use the framework where you already work, the CLI when you want orchestration, the desktop app when you want visible state, and the cloud when project state needs to follow you.

Drop the GSD loop into Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, Cursor, Windsurf, Copilot, or another existing runtime.

A terminal-native harness for autonomous milestones, context hygiene, worktrees, checks, cost, and recovery.

A local desktop workspace for projects, threads, plans, backlog, evidence, and ship handoffs.

Browser proof lives beside GSD.

gsd-browser is the companion product for deterministic Chrome control: MCP tools, semantic actions, assertions, recordings, traces, visual evidence, and human takeover when the work calls for it.

What changes when GSD is doing its job.

01

Context stops rotting

Heavy research, planning, and implementation work happen in scoped contexts instead of one exhausted session.

02

State survives

Plans, current position, decisions, and handoffs become durable project artifacts the next run can load.

03

Verification has teeth

The work is checked at the behavior level, evidence is captured, and failures turn into actionable repair plans.
