A powerful meta-prompting, context engineering and spec-driven development system that enables agents to work for long periods of time autonomously without losing track of the big picture
About the project
GSD Pi is a command-line coding agent and project workflow system that plans, implements, verifies, and tracks software work through milestones, tasks, Git worktrees, and stored project notes. It is for developers who want structured, longer-running agent sessions using different model providers. The catalogue entries extend GSD Pi with skills and agents.
Build software products autonomously via GSD headless mode. Handles the full lifecycle: write a spec, launch a build, poll for completion, handle blockers, track costs, and verify the result. Use when asked to "build something", "create a project", "run gsd", "check build status", or any task that requires autonomous…
Orchestrate GSD (Git Ship Done) projects programmatically via headless CLI. Use when an agent needs to create milestones from specs, execute dev workflows, monitor progress, check status, or control execution (pause/stop/skip/steer). Triggers on "run gsd", "create milestone", "execute project", "check gsd status"…
Audit and improve web accessibility following WCAG 2.1 guidelines. Use when asked to "improve accessibility", "a11y audit", "WCAG compliance", "screen reader support", "keyboard navigation", or "make accessible".
Browser automation CLI for AI agents. Use when interacting with websites — navigating pages, filling forms, clicking buttons, taking screenshots, scraping/extracting data, logging in, or testing web apps. Triggers on "open a website", "fill out a form", "take a screenshot", "scrape data from a page", "test this web…
Design or review an HTTP/REST/GraphQL API for versioning, pagination, error shapes, idempotency, auth, status codes, cache headers, and breaking-change management. Use when asked to "design an API", "shape the endpoints", "design the schema", "add a new endpoint", "review this API", or when building/modifying a public…
Apply modern web development best practices for security, compatibility, and code quality. Use when asked to "apply best practices", "security audit", "modernize code", "code quality review", or "check for vulnerabilities".
Ask a quick side question about your current work without derailing the main task. Answers from existing conversation context only — no tool calls, no file reads, single concise response. Use when you need a fast answer from what is already in this session.
Deep code optimization audit using parallel specialist agents that hunt performance anti-patterns via pattern-based detection, avoiding anchoring bias. Covers DB queries, memory leaks, algorithmic complexity, concurrency, bundle size, dead code, I/O/network, rendering, caching, and build config. Use when asked to…
Optimize Core Web Vitals (LCP, INP, CLS) for better page experience and search ranking. Use when asked to "improve Core Web Vitals", "fix LCP", "reduce CLS", "optimize INP", "page experience optimization", or "fix layout shifts".
Create, debug, and iterate on GSD extensions (TypeScript modules adding tools, commands, event hooks, custom UI, and providers). Use when asked to build an extension, add a tool the LLM can call, register a slash command, hook into GSD events, create custom TUI components, or modify GSD behavior. Triggers on…
Build, iterate, and evaluate Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers that expose external services as tools an LLM can call. Covers schema/tool design, error handling, pagination, MCP Inspector testing, and an eval set. Use when asked to "build an MCP server", "create an MCP tool", "wrap this API as MCP", "expose X to…
Expert guidance for creating, writing, building, and refining GSD skills. Use when working with SKILL.md files, authoring new skills, improving existing skills, or understanding skill structure and best practices.
Conversational guide for creating valid YAML workflow definitions. Use when asked to "create a workflow", "new workflow definition", "build a workflow", "workflow YAML", "define workflow steps", or "workflow from template".
Deep analysis debugging mode for complex issues. Activates methodical investigation protocol with evidence gathering, hypothesis testing, and rigorous verification. Use when standard troubleshooting fails or when issues require systematic root cause analysis.
Break a plan or milestone brief into independently-grabbable vertical slices (tracer bullets), saved with gsdplanmilestone by default (GitHub issues only on explicit confirmation). Prefers many thin slices over few thick ones and marks dependency order. Use when asked to "break this into slices", "decompose the plan"…
Plan, batch, and verify dependency upgrades safely. Triages outdated packages into risk tiers, upgrades in order (dev/minor/patch first, runtime majors last), verifies each batch, and produces an auditable commit sequence. Use when asked to "upgrade deps", "bump packages", "update nodemodules", "fix vulnerabilities"…
Produce 3+ radically different designs for a module, API, or interface, compare them in prose, and synthesize a recommendation. Use when asked to "design an interface", "shape this API", "design it twice", "explore module boundaries", or when planning a new deep module and the first idea is unlikely to be the best.…
Post-mortem a failed GSD auto-mode run. Traces symptom to root cause via .gsd/ activity, journal, metrics, and lock artifacts, producing a filing-ready bug report with file:line refs and a fix suggestion. Use when asked to "forensics", "post-mortem", "why did auto-mode fail", "trace the stuck loop", "debug the crash"…
Create distinctive, production-grade frontend interfaces with high design quality. Use this skill when the user asks to build web components, pages, artifacts, posters, or applications (examples include websites, landing pages, dashboards, React components, HTML/CSS layouts, or when styling/beautifying any web UI).…
Work with GitHub Actions CI/CD workflows - read live syntax, monitor runs, and debug failures. Use when writing, running, or debugging GitHub Actions workflows.
Install and configure the GitHub CLI (gh) for AI agent environments where gh may not be pre-installed and git remotes use local proxies instead of github.com. Provides auto-install script with SHA256 verification and GITHUBTOKEN auth with anonymous fallback. Use when gh command not found, shutil.which("gh") returns…
Relentless sequential interview that stress-tests a plan or design until every decision branch is resolved. Use when the user wants to "grill me", "stress-test the plan", "interrogate my design", "resolve the decision tree", or whenever a plan feels hand-wavy, under-specified, or carries hidden coupling that planning…
Prepare a clean cross-session handoff so the next agent can pick up where you left off. Saves a focused Work Checkpoint with gsdcheckpointsave and ensures summary artifacts are current. Use when asked to "hand off", "prepare handoff", "pause work", "bookmark this", "I'll come back to this later", before running out of…
