Get Shit Done: Meta-Prompting System for AI Coding Agents

Get Shit Done (GSD) is a meta-prompting, context engineering, and spec-driven development system designed to work with multiple AI coding agents. The tool focuses on solving context rot—the quality degradation that occurs when AI agents fill their context windows with irrelevant information.

Supported Platforms and Installation

The system works with Claude Code, OpenCode, Gemini CLI, Codex, Copilot, and Antigravity. Installation is straightforward:

npx get-shit-done-cc@latest

The installer prompts you to choose runtime and installation location (global or local). For non-interactive installations in Docker, CI, or scripts:

• Claude Code: npx get-shit-done-cc --claude --global (installs to ~/.claude/)
• OpenCode: npx get-shit-done-cc --opencode --global (installs to ~/.config/opencode/)
• Gemini CLI: npx get-shit-done-cc --gemini --global (installs to ~/.gemini/)
• Codex: npx get-shit-done-cc --codex --global (installs to ~/.codex/)
• Copilot: npx get-shit-done-cc --copilot --global (installs to ~/.github/)
• Antigravity: npx get-shit-done-cc --antigravity --global (installs to ~/.gemini/antigravity/)
• All runtimes: npx get-shit-done-cc --all --global

How It Works

GSD uses context engineering, XML prompt formatting, subagent orchestration, and state management behind the scenes. The creator describes it as having "complexity in the system, not in your workflow." Users see only a few commands that work consistently.

The system extracts what it needs to know from user descriptions, then lets the AI agent do the work with built-in verification. Codex installation uses skills (skills/gsd-*/SKILL.md) rather than custom prompts.

Verification Commands

After installation, verify with these commands depending on your runtime:

• Claude Code / Gemini: /gsd:help
• OpenCode: /gsd-help
• Codex: $gsd-help
• Copilot: /gsd:help
• Antigravity: /gsd:help

The creator built GSD as a solo developer who doesn't write code directly—Claude Code does. They found other spec-driven development tools too complex with "sprint ceremonies, story points, stakeholder syncs, retrospectives, Jira workflows" or lacking big-picture understanding.

GSD is positioned as an alternative to what the creator calls "enterprise theater"—tools that simulate 50-person engineering organizations when users just need to build things that work.
