Anti-Drift
Overview
Prevent agent swarms from drifting away from the original task goal through hierarchical coordination, frequent checkpoints, and shared memory validation.
When to Use
- Long-running multi-agent orchestrations
- Tasks with high risk of scope creep
- When multiple agents work on related subtasks
- Critical tasks where deviation is costly
Anti-Drift Mechanisms
- Hierarchical Coordinator - Queen agent validates alignment at checkpoints
- Frequent Checkpoints - Every 2 subtasks (configurable)
- Shared Memory Coherence - Validate all agents see consistent state
- Short Task Cycles - Bounded execution windows prevent runaway agents
- Role Specialization - Agents stay within their assigned scope
Drift Scoring
0.0-0.1: Fully aligned, no intervention needed0.1-0.3: Minor drift, automatic correction0.3-0.5: Significant drift, checkpoint correction with logging0.5+: Critical drift, human escalation via breakpoint

gsd-tools
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).
a5c-ai/babysitter
model-profile-resolution
Resolve model profile (quality/balanced/budget) at orchestration start and map agents to specific models. Enables cost/quality tradeoffs by selecting appropriate AI models for each agent role.
a5c-ai/babysitter
verification-suite
Plan structure validation, phase completeness checks, reference integrity verification, and artifact existence confirmation. Provides the structured verification layer ensuring GSD artifacts are well-formed and complete.
a5c-ai/babysitter
state-management
STATE.md reading, writing, and field-level updates. Provides cross-session state persistence via .planning/STATE.md with structured fields for current task, completed phases, blockers, decisions, and quick tasks.
a5c-ai/babysitter
git-integration
Git commit patterns, formats, and conventions for GSD methodology. Provides atomic commits per task, structured commit messages, planning file commits, branch management, and milestone tag operations.
