What is get-shit-done?

A deprecated meta-prompting framework for Claude Code that has now migrated to the open-gsd/gsd-core repository.

What does get-shit-done do?

Get Shit Done (GSD) is a specialized framework created to enhance the output and reliability of the Claude Code assistant through advanced context engineering. It implements spec-driven development methodologies, providing structured meta-prompts that guide the AI in generating more robust and accurate code. The project focuses on streamlining the interaction loop between the developer and the language model, ensuring the AI strictly adheres to project requirements. Note that this specific repository has been deprecated, and all active development has officially transitioned to the new GSD Core organization repository at open-gsd/gsd-core. The repository now functions solely as a redirect pointer to the active core project.

Who is get-shit-done for?

The framework is intended for prompt engineers, AI-assisted developers, and software architects looking to rigorously constrain and guide LLM code generation. Users of this deprecated repository should now migrate to the active project.

• Meta-prompting workflows: Utilizes carefully crafted prompt structures to continuously ground the AI assistant in the project's specific context.
• Spec-driven development: Forces the language model to adhere to rigorous, predefined specifications before generating application logic.
• Context engineering: Systematically curates the data fed to the model to reduce hallucinations and improve overall code quality.
• Claude Code integration: Specifically optimized to interoperate with the unique behaviors and tooling of the Claude AI ecosystem.
• Active migration notice: The codebase serves strictly as a deprecation redirect to open-gsd/gsd-core for all current development.

1. v1.43.0-rc2v1.43.0-rc2May 17, 2026pre-release

   # v1.43.0-rc2 Release Notes Release candidate. Published to npm under the `next` dist-tag. ```bash npx get-shit-done-cc@next ``` --- ## What's in this release 1.43.0 is the first feature release on top of 1.42.x. The headline is the **CJS ↔ SDK seam migration ([#3524](https://github.com/gsd-build/get-shit-done/issues/3524))** — Phases 2 through 6 land end-to-end, moving Configuration, Workstream Inventory, Project-Root Resolution, and a synchronous `QueryRuntimeBridge.executeForCjs` primitive onto shared manifests and the public SDK surface. The release also opens the **Runtime Artifact Layout Module ([ADR #3660](https://github.com/gsd-build/get-shit-done/pull/3661))** with Phase 1, which migrates the install/uninstall skill-surface emission to a layout-driven loop. Other notable additions include **tiered `/gsd-help` output** (`--brief` / default / `--full` / `<topic>`), **opt-in knowledge-graph auto-update** after `main` advances, a **Node 22 / 24 / 26 × OS test matrix**, and three new security / fault-injection suites — adversarial prompt-injection, adversarial parser fixtures, and a `platformWriteSync` atomic-write fault-injection harness. Every 1.42.3 hotfix is rolled for

2. v1.42.3v1.42.3May 16, 2026

   # v1.42.3 Release Notes Hotfix release. Published to npm under the `latest` tag. ```bash npx get-shit-done-cc@latest ``` --- ## What's in this release 1.42.3 is a stability hotfix on top of 1.42.2. The headline is **Codex CLI 0.130.0 install routability** — after `npx get-shit-done-cc@latest --codex`, `$gsd-*` skills now resolve correctly under Codex 0.130.0 and later, where the previous build left users with zero routable entrypoints. The release also ships **runtime-aware slash formatting** so emitted commands match the install's routing shape (Claude → `/gsd-*`, Codex → `$gsd-*`) instead of the deprecated colon form, an **argv-based subprocess** fix for `check.ship-ready` that closes a shell-injection class through git refnames, the **`phase_status` field on init.plan-phase** that gates `/gsd:plan-phase` on closed phases, plus correctness fixes for archived-phase warnings, future-phase warnings, canonical Codex hooks, and the SDK bridge load path. ### Fixed - **Codex CLI 0.130.0 install now materializes routable skills** — `bin/install.js` writes `~/.codex/skills/gsd-<name>/SKILL.md` for every shipped command so `$gsd-*` skills resolve after install. Codex 0.130.0 d

5. v1.42.1v1.42.1May 15, 2026

   Stable release. Published to npm under the `latest` tag. ```bash npx get-shit-done-cc@latest ``` --- ## What's in this release 1.42.1 is a safety and control-surface release. The headline additions are the **package legitimacy gate**, **skill-surface budgeting**, and the **installer migration framework** — three changes that make GSD safer to install, safer to update, and easier to run in constrained contexts. The release also ships configurable `/gsd-ship` PR body sections, `/gsd-review` reviewer defaults, optional fallow structural review, and quota-aware execution recovery. Underneath that, 30+ correctness fixes cover `project_code` phase directories, phase completion, nested git detection, Codex install migration, SDK readiness, and decimal-phase dependencies. ### Added - **Package legitimacy gate against slopsquatting** — researchers audit external packages with `slopcheck`, planners add human verification for unverified packages, and executors stop on package install failures instead of trying similarly named alternatives. This closes the path where AI-hallucinated package names could flow from research into `npm install` / `pip install` / `cargo add`. ([#3215
