AI-SPM vs GSD (get-shit-done)

AI-SPM (AI Security Posture Management) is an open-source control plane for AI agent security in production environments. Built by indie developer dshapi and posted to Hacker News, it addresses a real gap: most LLM systems now have tool access and decision-making power, but almost no runtime oversight layer to catch when things go wrong. The system works as a gateway between your application and the LLM, enforcing three main controls: prompt injection detection (including obfuscated variants that bypass naive pattern matching), structured tool call validation against defined policies using Open Policy Agent (OPA), and sensitive data leakage prevention (PII and model output filtering). An Apache Kafka and Apache Flink streaming pipeline provides real-time audit trails and anomaly detection. The creator's key insight is that tool misuse — not model jailbreaks — is the primary risk vector in production AI agents. A rogue or compromised agent that escalates tool permissions or exfiltrates data through sanctioned channels is far harder to catch than a classic prompt injection. AI-SPM is early, minimal traction, and needs real-world stress testing. But as AI agent deployments mature from demos to production, runtime security tooling like this becomes non-optional.

GSD (get-shit-done) is a meta-prompting and context engineering system for Claude Code that imposes software engineering discipline on AI-assisted development. It replaces ad-hoc prompting with a five-step methodology — initialize, discuss, plan, execute, verify — that keeps context fresh and quality high across long, complex projects. The system works by loading specialized documentation strategically: project vision, requirements, roadmaps, and research are injected at the right phases rather than dumped into a single bloated context window. Planning produces XML-formatted task trees with built-in verification steps, and execution happens in waves — parallel where dependencies allow, sequential where they don't. Quality gates automatically detect schema drift, security regressions, and scope creep before they compound into bigger problems. For teams that have experienced the quality degradation that hits around hour three of a long Claude Code session, GSD's architecture of fresh context windows per phase is the fix. A Quick Mode handles ad-hoc tasks without the full planning overhead, making it practical for both exploratory work and milestone-driven development. It's MIT-licensed, JavaScript-based, and designed for solo developers and small teams who want spec-driven development without enterprise process overhead.
