What it is
This repository is archived and its README says the project now continues as GSD Core in a different repository (open-gsd/gsd-core). The description calls GSD a lightweight meta-prompting and context engineering system for Claude Code, aimed at spec-driven development. This README does not explain features or setup, so the details here are limited.
- Follow the link to the GSD Core repository for current source code
- Check the new repository's issues and releases for updates
- Find contribution guidance in the new repository
Great for
- Developers who already use Claude Code and want to find the current GSD project
- People following the project who need the new repository link
Not ideal for
- Anyone looking for install steps here: the README contains none and the repo is archived, so use the new repository instead
- Users who need a working copy of this exact repo: it is no longer the active home for development
How to get it

Downloads
Strengths
- The README clearly points to where active development now happens
- The repository has a large star count and an MIT license, per metadata
- Topics and description indicate its focus on Claude Code workflows
Trade-offs
- Archived, so this repository will not receive new development here
- The README provided does not describe features, commands, or setup
- Latest release v1.42.3 is listed without binaries and may not reflect the new project
