gsd-tools SKILL.md skillA
gsd-tools from a5c-ai/babysitter is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add a5c-ai/babysitter/gsd-tools@v1.0.0Pins v1.0.0 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Central utility skill for GSD operations. Provides config parsing, slug generation, timestamps, path operations, and orchestrates calls to other specialized skills. Acts as the unified entry point that the original gsd-tools.cjs provided via its lib/ modules (commands, config, core, init).
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
- Load and manage `.planning/config.json` configuration
- Generate deterministic slugs from descriptions (kebab-case, deduplication)
- Format timestamps for GSD artifact headers and frontmatter
- Resolve paths within the `.planning/` directory structure
- Parse and normalize phase numbers (integer and decimal)
- Manage sequential quick task numbering in `.planning/quick/`
- Initialize and validate `.planning/` directory structure
- Detect project state (new project, existing project, mid-phase, etc.)
## Capabilities
### 1. Configuration Loading
Load and parse `.planning/config.json` with defaults:
```json
{
"profile": "balanced",
"autoCommit": true,
"autoVerify": true,
"planCheckerEnabled": true,
"maxPlanRevisions": 2,
"waveParallelization": true,
"contextMonitor": true,
"contextWarningThreshold": 70,
"contextCriticalThreshold": 85,
"summaryVariant": "standard",
"tddEnabled": false,
"questioningDepth": "adaptive"
}
```
Read config:
```bash
cat .planning/config.json
```
If config does not exist, create with defaults. Merge user overrides with defaults (user values take precedence).
### 2. Slug Generation
Generate kebab-case slugs from descriptions:

How to install
mdr add a5c-ai/babysitter/gsd-tools@sha256:5dd998f56e77ca06The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
