Generated Patterns
TypeScript Path Utilities
import path from 'path';
import os from 'os';
import fs from 'fs';
export function normalizePath(p: string): string {
return p.replace(/\\/g, '/');
}
export function toPlatformPath(p: string): string {
return p.split('/').join(path.sep);
}
export function expandHome(p: string): string {
if (p.startsWith('~')) {
return path.join(os.homedir(), p.slice(1));
}
return p;
}
export function getConfigDir(appName: string): string {
const platform = process.platform;
if (platform === 'win32') {
return path.join(process.env.APPDATA || '', appName);
}
if (platform === 'darwin') {
return path.join(os.homedir(), 'Library', 'Application Support', appName);
}
return path.join(process.env.XDG_CONFIG_HOME || path.join(os.homedir(), '.config'), appName);
}
export function getDataDir(appName: string): string {
const platform = process.platform;
if (platform === 'win32') {
return path.join(process.env.LOCALAPPDATA || '', appName);
}
if (platform === 'darwin') {
return path.join(os.homedir(), 'Library', 'Application Support', appName);
}
return path.join(process.env.XDG_DATA_HOME || path.join(os.homedir(), '.local', 'share'), appName);
}
export function getCacheDir(appName: string): string {
const platform = process.platform;
if (platform === 'win32') {
return path.join(process.env.LOCALAPPDATA || '', appName, 'Cache');
}
if (platform === 'darwin') {

Recommended Agent Skills
Expand your agent's capabilities with these related and highly-rated skills.
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).
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.
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.
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.
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.
frontmatter-parsing
YAML frontmatter parsing and manipulation for .planning/ documents. Provides read, write, update, query, and validation operations on frontmatter blocks in GSD markdown artifacts.
