GSD Cures AI Coding Hallucinations and Went Viral

GSD: lightweight meta prompting system that fixes AI context rot with fresh contexts per task

Recently, I came across an explosive open-source project on GitHub that has racked up over 37k stars in a very short time, creating quite a stir in the developer community.

The project has a catchy name: GSD — short for Get Shit Done, which immediately signals a no-nonsense, action-oriented approach.

The creator is an independent developer named TÂCHES. His philosophy is straightforward: “I don’t write code — Claude Code writes the code.”

However, he noticed that existing AI programming tools fall into two camps: either they’re overly complicated with lots of agile ceremonies, story points, and enterprise-level processes, or they lack a true understanding of the overall project, causing code quality to collapse once the project scales up.

So he decided to build his own. No complex enterprise role-playing — just a simple, efficient system that lets AI reliably get things done.

That’s the origin story of GSD.
