Get Shit Done
StaleDescription
A light-weight and powerful meta-prompting, context engineering, and spec-driven development system for AI coding agents like Claude Code.
Key Features
- Context engineering framework - Fresh-context subagents solve context rot (quality degradation as context window fills)
- Five-phase development loop - Disciplined Discuss → Plan → Execute → Verify → Ship iteration cycle
- Multi-runtime compatible - Supports Claude Code, OpenCode, Gemini CLI, Codex, Cursor, Windsurf and other AI coding tools
- Structured state persistence - Cross-session memory via structured artifacts like STATE.md and CONTEXT.md
- Verification-driven delivery - Verify step auto-checks build results and generates fix plans before declaring done
Use Cases
💡 Standardize AI coding agent workflows in large projects to prevent quality degradation from context bloat
💡 Standardize AI-assisted development in team settings with reproducible and auditable development records
💡 Onboard existing codebases to AI-assisted development with reduced integration risk through disciplined processes
💡 Plan and execute complex multi-stage projects with clean context maintained per phase
Strengths & Limitations
✅ Strengths
- • High community interest (64.6k stars)
- • Permissive open-source license (MIT)
- • Responsive to issues, low backlog
