Get Shit Done (GSD)

by gsd-build

AI Summary

Get Shit Done (GSD) is a meta-prompting and context engineering system that helps developers coordinate AI-assisted workflows across multiple platforms while preventing quality degradation from context window bloat. Developers building with Claude, OpenCode, Gemini, and Codex benefit from its structured Plan→Execute→Verify→Complete pipeline.

Install

Copy this and paste it into Claude Code, Cursor, or any AI assistant:

I want to set up the "Get Shit Done (GSD)" agent in my project.

Please run this command in my terminal:
npx get-shit-done-cc@latest

Then explain what the agent does and how to invoke it.

Description

A meta-prompting and context engineering system for AI-assisted development. Coordinates Plan → Execute → Verify → Complete phases in Claude Code, OpenCode, Gemini CLI, and Codex. Eliminates context rot by opening fresh context windows per task wave. Install via npm: npx get-shit-done-cc.

GET SHIT DONE

English · Português · 简体中文 · 日本語 · 한국어 A light-weight and powerful meta-prompting, context engineering and spec-driven development system for Claude Code, OpenCode, Gemini CLI, Kilo, Codex, Copilot, Cursor, Windsurf, Antigravity, Augment, Trae, Qwen Code, Cline, and CodeBuddy. Solves context rot — the quality degradation that happens as Claude fills its context window. ![npm version](https://www.npmjs.com/package/get-shit-done-cc) ![npm downloads](https://www.npmjs.com/package/get-shit-done-cc) ![Tests](https://github.com/gsd-build/get-shit-done/actions/workflows/test.yml) ![Discord](https://discord.gg/mYgfVNfA2r) ![X (Twitter)](https://x.com/gsd_foundation) ![$GSD Token](https://dexscreener.com/solana/dwudwjvan7bzkw9zwlbyv6kspdlvhwzrqy6ebk8xzxkv) ![GitHub stars](https://github.com/gsd-build/get-shit-done) ![License](LICENSE) <br> `bash npx get-shit-done-cc@latest ` Works on Mac, Windows, and Linux. <br> !GSD Install <br> "If you know clearly what you want, this WILL build it for you.

Review docs/USER-GUIDE.md and the CHANGELOG for updates — a lot has changed since you were last here > > Your code is fine. GSD just needs its planning context rebuilt.

Why I Built This

I'm a solo developer. I don't write code — Claude Code does. Other spec-driven development tools exist; BMAD, Speckit... But they all seem to make things way more complicated than they need to be (sprint ceremonies, story points, stakeholder syncs, retrospectives, Jira workflows) or lack real big picture understanding of what you're building. I'm not a 50-person software company. I don't want to play enterprise theater. I'm just a creative person trying to build great things that work. So I built GSD. The complexity is in the system, not in your workflow. Behind the scenes: context engineering, XML prompt formatting, subagent orchestration, state management. What you see: a few commands that just work. The system gives Claude everything it needs to do the work and verify it. I trust the workflow. It just does a good job. That's what this is. No enterprise roleplay bullshit. Just an incredibly effective system for building cool stuff consistently using Claude Code. — TÂCHES --- Vibecoding has a bad reputation. You describe what you want, AI generates code, and you get inconsistent garbage that falls apart at scale. GSD fixes that. It's the context engineering layer that makes Claude Code reliable. Describe your idea, let the system extract everything it needs to know, and let Claude Code get to work. ---

Who This Is For

People who want to describe what they want and have it built correctly — without pretending they're running a 50-person engineering org. Built-in quality gates catch real problems: schema drift detection flags ORM changes missing migrations, security enforcement anchors verification to threat models, and scope reduction detection prevents the planner from silently dropping your requirements.

v1.34.0 Highlights

• Gates taxonomy — 4 canonical gate types (pre-flight, revision, escalation, abort) wired into plan-checker and verifier agents • Shell hooks fix — hooks/*.sh files are now correctly included in the npm package, eliminating startup hook errors on fresh installs • Post-merge hunk verification — reapply-patches detects silently dropped hunks after three-way merge • detectConfigDir fix — Claude Code users no longer see false "update available" warnings when multiple runtimes are installed • 3 bug fixes — Milestone backlog preservation, detectConfigDir priority, and npm package manifest ---
