Trusted by engineers at<br>AmazonGoogleShopifyWebflow<br>“By far the most powerful addition to my Claude Code. Nothing over-engineered. Code in, code shipped.”
Pick your flavor.<br>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.
The framework
get-shit-done<br>@opengsd/get-shit-done-redux<br>Guides your harness of choice and helps you Git. Ship. Done.<br>$npx @opengsd/get-shit-done-redux@latestcopy
›Works across 15+ runtimes — Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, Cursor, Windsurf, Copilot & more<br>›Six commands, one loop: new-project → discuss → plan → execute → verify → ship<br>›Solves context rot by doing heavy work in fresh subagent contexts<br>›Structured artifacts survive session boundaries<br>GitHub npm Discord
The CLI harness
gsd-pi<br>@opengsd/gsd-pi<br>The CLI harness for autonomous execution and orchestration.<br>$npm install -g @opengsd/gsd-pi@latestcopy
›One command — /gsd auto — runs an entire milestone autonomously<br>›Clears context between tasks and injects exactly the right files<br>›Manages git branches, atomic commits, cost & token tracking<br>›Detects stuck loops, recovers from crashes, runs headless in CI<br>GitHub npm Discord
The native UI<br>Coming soon<br>gsd-workbench<br>macOS · Linux<br>Manage projects, workflows, agents, and development pipelines — visually.<br>$Desktop app · download coming soonComing soon
›Project-centered workspace — Threads, Plans, Backlog, Worktrees, all visible<br>›Guided plan mode walks you through each Workflow Stage with adaptive questions<br>›First-class Plan Changes, Verification Evidence, and Ship Handoffs<br>›Runs your local agent — your model, your repos, your filesystem
The hosted cloud<br>Coming soon<br>gsd-cloud<br>SaaS · cross-device<br>Access anywhere — your projects, sessions, and workflows move with you.<br>$Hosted cloud · coming soonComing soon
›Hosted and managed — no infrastructure to run, no upgrades to babysit<br>›Sync projects, sessions, and workflow state across every device you work from<br>›Drive milestones, kick off plans, and ship from your phone, laptop, or tablet<br>›One pane of glass across every project you have GSD running on
One ecosystem<br>Each interoperable. Same commands. Same workflows. Same results.<br>Move between CLI, desktop, and cloud without relearning the ecosystem.
From asking to doing<br>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.
v1 — could only ask<br>Injects prompts through slash commands<br>Hopes the LLM follows the instructions<br>No real control over the context window<br>No control over sessions or execution
v2 — actually does<br>Clears context between tasks, deterministically<br>Injects exactly the right files at dispatch time<br>Manages branches, commits, cost & tokens<br>Detects stuck loops and recovers from crashes
One command. Walk away. Come back to a built project with clean git history.
Why it works<br>Three things most AI-coding setups get wrong — and how Open GSD fixes each.
01<br>No context bloat<br>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.
02<br>Shared memory<br>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.
03<br>Real verification<br>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.
On the roadmap<br>What we’re building next.<br>Safer auto mode, two new surfaces, faster daily use. The roadmap is open — read it, push back, build with us.
Trustgsd-pi<br>Safer auto mode<br>Reconciliation runs before every dispatch. Fail-closed worktree safety. Real recovery categories instead of catch-all errors.
