Get Shit Done (GSD) is a lightweight system that optimizes the use of AI code assistants, effectively tackling the issue of "context rot" during development.
Why it's noteworthy
GSD stands out for its ability to thoroughly resolve "context rot"—the degradation of output quality when an AI's context window becomes full. It provides a lightweight framework for meta-prompting, context engineering, and spec-driven development. As a result, you always receive high-quality and consistent responses from AI code assistants like Claude Code, Copilot, or Gemini CLI, even during extended working sessions. This is a powerful tool to maintain stable AI performance.
Who it's for
This tool is ideal for developers and software engineers who frequently use AI code assistants and want to optimize their performance. If you often run into situations where the AI "forgets" context or produces poor results during long sessions, GSD is the solution. It is also highly useful for those who want to implement spec-driven development more effectively with AI support.
Quick comparison
While frameworks like LangChain or Semantic Kernel focus on building general AI applications or integrating AI into complex systems, GSD is more specialized. It is a meta-prompting layer that helps you control and maintain context for existing code assistants. Compared to simply using plain prompt templates, GSD provides a comprehensive system to enhance the quality and consistency of AI-generated results.
How to get started
To start using GSD, you can install it via npm. Just run the following command in your terminal and follow the instructions: npx get-shit-d
