GET SHIT DONE
A light-weight and powerful meta-prompting, context engineering and spec-driven development system for Claude Code by TÂCHES.
npx get-shit-done-cc
Works on Mac, Windows, and Linux.
"If you know clearly what you want, this WILL build it for you. No bs."
"I've done SpecKit, OpenSpec and Taskmaster — this has produced the best results for me."
"By far the most powerful addition to my Claude Code. Nothing over-engineered. Literally just gets shit done."
Trusted by engineers at Amazon, Google, Shopify, and Webflow.
Why I Built This
I'm a solo developer. I don't write code — Claude Code does.
Other spec-driven development tools exist; BMAD, Speckit... But they all seem to make things way more complicated than they need to be (sprint ceremonies, story points, stakeholder syncs, retrospectives, Jira workflows) or lack real big picture understanding of what you're building. I'm not a 50-person software company. I don't want to play enterprise theater. I'm just a creative person trying to build great things that work.
So I built GSD. The complexity is in the system, not in your workflow. Behind the scenes: context engineering, XML prompt formatting, subagent orchestration, state management. What you see: a few commands that just work.
The system gives Claude everything it needs to do the work and verify it. I trust the workflow. It just does a good job.
That's what this is. No enterprise roleplay bullshit. Just an incredibly effective system for building cool stuff consistently using Claude Code.
— TÂCHES
Vibecoding has a bad reputation. You describe what you want, AI generates code, and you get inconsistent garbage that falls apart at scale.
GSD fixes that. It's the context engineering layer that makes Claude Code reliable. Describe your idea, let the system extract everything it needs to know, and let Claude Code get to work.
Who This Is For
People who want to describe what they want and have it built correctly — without pretending they're running a 50-person engineering org.
Getting Started
npx get-shit-done-cc
That's it. Verify with /gsd:help.
Non-interactive Install (Docker, CI, Scripts)
npx get-shit-done-cc --global # Install to ~/.claude/
npx get-shit-done-cc --local # Install to ./.claude/
Use --global (-g) or --local (-l) to skip the interactive prompt.
Development Installation
Clone the repository and run the installer locally:
git clone https://github.com/glittercowboy/get-shit-done.git
cd get-shit-done
node bin/install.js --local
Installs to ./.claude/ for testing modifications before contributing.
Recommended: Skip Permissions Mode
GSD is designed for frictionless automation. Run Claude Code with:
claude --dangerously-skip-permissions
[!TIP] This is how GSD is intended to be used — stopping to approve
dateandgit commit50 times defeats the purpose.
Alternative: Granular Permissions
If you prefer not to use that flag, add this to your project's .claude/settings.json:
{
"permissions": {
"allow": [
"Bash(date:*)",
"Bash(echo:*)",
"Bash(cat:*)",
"Bash(ls:*)",
"Bash(mkdir:*)",
"Bash(wc:*)",
"Bash(head:*)",
"Bash(tail:*)",
"Bash(sort:*)",
"Bash(grep:*)",
"Bash(tr:*)",
"Bash(git add:*)",
"Bash(git commit:*)",
"Bash(git status:*)",
"Bash(git log:*)",
"Bash(git diff:*)",
"Bash(git tag:*)"
]
}
}
How It Works
1. Start with an idea
/gsd:new-project
The system asks questions. Keeps asking until it has everything — your goals, constraints, tech preferences, edge cases. You go back and forth until the idea is fully captured. Creates PROJECT.md.
2. Create roadmap
/gsd:create-roadmap
