GSD Core is a meta-prompting, context-engineering, and spec-driven development framework that orchestrates AI coding agents (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Copilot, and others) through a disciplined Discuss-Plan-Execute-Verify-Ship phase loop. It combats context rot by running research, planning, and execution in fresh-context subagents while keeping the main session lean.

Use cases

• run spec-driven development with AI coding agents
• prevent context rot in long AI coding sessions
• orchestrate parallel AI executor subagents with clean contexts
• structure AI-assisted milestones from plan to pull request
• onboard an existing codebase for AI-driven development
• install a workflow engine across multiple AI coding runtimes

When to choose

• you already use Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Copilot, or a similar AI coding runtime and want a structured workflow on top
• your AI agent sessions degrade as the context window fills
• you want explicit plans, verification gates, and git-truthful history for agentic work
• you need cross-runtime compatibility for AI coding workflows

When to avoid

• you want a standalone autonomous coding agent rather than a workflow layer (consider GSD Pi)
• you don't use AI coding agents at all
• you need a lightweight single-prompt helper rather than a full phase-loop methodology
