GSD is a lightweight, spec-driven development system designed specifically for Claude Code to combat context rot, the degradation of quality as Claude fills its context window. Created by solo developer TÂCHES, it offers a streamlined workflow focused on delivering results without enterprise complexity. The system handles context engineering, XML prompt formatting, and subagent orchestration behind the scenes, presenting users with simple commands that just work.

TÂCHES built GSD because existing tools like BMAD and Speckit felt overly complicated for individual creators, lacking the big-picture understanding needed. GSD provides Claude with everything it needs to execute tasks and verify results, trusting the workflow to deliver effectively. It's trusted by engineers at Amazon, Google, Shopify, and Webflow.

Getting started is simple: install via `npx get-shit-done-cc@latest`, choose your runtime (Claude Code, OpenCode, Gemini, etc.), and begin. The tool guides users through initializing projects, discussing phases, planning, and executing tasks with parallel waves and atomic commits, ensuring clean git history. This approach allows developers to describe their goals and have them built correctly, skipping the pretense of running a large engineering org.
