What is this?
GSD 2 is a meta-prompting, context engineering and spec-driven development system that lets AI coding agents work autonomously for long periods without losing track of the big picture.
Is it a framework I add to my project, a standalone tool, or a library?
It is an open-source (MIT) TypeScript system for coding agents, packaged as an npm-workspaces monorepo of packages rather than a single library or a hosted service.
Where do I get the current version, then?
From the Open GSD repository, which now hosts GSD Pi — current source code, issues, releases and contribution work all live there.
What do I need installed to run it?
Node.js 22 or newer — the engines field requires >=22.0.0, and the packages build through npm scripts.
Is this repository still the place to get GSD?
No — the repo is archived, and its README says it is no longer the active home for GSD 2 development; the project continues as GSD Pi.
Does it have a terminal interface?
Yes — the monorepo builds a pi-tui package (a terminal UI) alongside pi-ai, pi-agent-core and pi-coding-agent.
Does the project use AI agents on its own repo?
Yes — its GitHub Actions workflows include ai-triage.yml and agent-workflow-guard.yml, so agents help triage and guard the project's own pipeline.
