GSD Got Rug Pulled. Uninstall the Original, Use This Instead

GSD (Get Shit Done) was my favorite spec-driven development framework, and I recommended it a lot on and off this channel. Public reporting and community posts allege that the $GSD meme coin tied to the project was rug-pulled, and the creator appears to have disappeared from the project. Because of that trust break, I don’t think the original packages are worth keeping installed. In this video I go over what happened, why it matters, how to use the new version, and how I suggest removing the original GSD safely. Since each version of GSD installs differently, I believe the safest way to uninstall it is NOT to paste random commands. Ask your own AI agent (Claude Code, Codex, etc.) to find every GSD file on YOUR machine and remove it. It adapts to your exact setup.

This is what worked on mine (macOS / Linux; Windows: use WSL, or just use your agent). Anything you remove is at your own risk, and I suggest backing up first. GSD installs differently depending on the version (GSD1 vs GSD2/Pi) and which coding agents you use (Claude Code, Codex, Gemini, OpenCode…), so there's no single command that's right for everyone. Easiest and safest: let your AI agent help you find, verify, and remove the files. I don't like the npx uninstall command, since it re-runs the package before removing it. STEP 1 — See where it's installed (read-only, this only lists files, deletes nothing): for d in ~/.claude ~/.codex ~/.gemini ~/.config/opencode ~/.agents; do [ -d "$d" ] && find "$d" -maxdepth 3 \( -iname '*gsd*' -o -iname 'get-shit-done' \) -prune -print; done STEP 2 — Verify and remove them (let your agent do the deleting): • GSD2 / Pi (an npm package): run npm uninstall -g gsd-pi (standard npm removal; if you want maximum caution, ask your agent to inspect what’s installed first) • GSD1 (slash-command / skills version): it's just files in your agent folders. Paste the Step 1 output into Claude Code or Codex and ask it to safely delete every GSD file it found (slash commands included). Your own agent handles your exact setup, no blind commands.
