get-shit-done: Structure Claude Code Work with Prompts and Specs

Overview

get-shit-done was designed to help Claude Code users bring more structure to AI-assisted development through meta-prompting, context engineering, and specifications. These practices can help clarify work and provide an AI coding assistant with better-organized context.

This repository is archived and is no longer the active source of code or project updates. For current development, issues, releases, and contributions, use GSD Core.

Key Features

• Focuses on meta-prompting for Claude Code.
• Applies context engineering to AI-assisted development.
• Uses a spec-driven development approach.
• Provides a lightweight system for organizing development work with an AI coding assistant.

Use Cases

• Claude Code users who want a more structured approach to describing development tasks.
• Developers who want to apply specifications when planning AI-assisted changes.
• Teams exploring context engineering for coding workflows, provided they use the current GSD Core repository.

Getting Started

This repository is archived and its README directs users to GSD Core for current source code and setup guidance. Consult that repository for instructions.

Alternatives

• agent-skills: Provides portable engineering workflows across coding agents, while get-shit-done focused on spec-driven development and context engineering for Claude Code.
• loop-engineering: Offers a TypeScript toolkit for repeatable agent workflows and state management, rather than get-shit-done's Claude Code meta-prompting system.
• ECC: Combines planning, implementation, testing, and review in a cross-platform agent harness, while get-shit-done centered on Claude Code and spec-driven workflows.

Considerations

• This repository is archived, so it is not the right place for current issues, releases, or contributions.
• The supplied README contains a redirect rather than setup instructions or detailed documentation of the system. Use GSD Core for current information.
