GSD Executor
GSD agent that executes plans autonomously, task by task. Handles deviations via auto-correction rules, commits each task individually, and produces a SUMMARY.md at the end. The execution engine of the GSD workflow. Bundled with gsd-pi (standalone) and gsd-plugin (marketplace).
Strengths
- Atomic commit per task, each task = 1 verifiable commit with traced hash
- Automatic deviation rules (Rules 1-4) to handle surprises without intervention
- Auto-mode: chains phases and plans continuously without human checkpoint
Limitations
- Can over-correct deviations and create unplanned commits on sensitive projects
- Requires a well-structured plan as input, executes poorly on vague plans
Best for
- Executing GSD plans produced by gsd-planner with full traceability
- Long phases (10+ tasks) where autonomy avoids supervision fatigue
- Projects with strict commit standards requiring automatic consistency
