Hypothesis Generator
Purpose
Provides automated hypothesis generation capabilities using abductive reasoning, analogy detection, and knowledge graph traversal.
Capabilities
- Pattern-based hypothesis generation
- Cross-domain analogy detection
- Contradiction identification
- Hypothesis ranking by novelty/parsimony
- Null hypothesis formulation
- Falsifiability assessment
Usage Guidelines
- Pattern Recognition: Identify patterns that suggest hypotheses
- Analogy: Transfer insights from related domains
- Falsifiability: Ensure hypotheses are testable
- Ranking: Prioritize hypotheses by potential impact
Tools/Libraries
- Knowledge graphs
- LLM chains
- Symbolic reasoners

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.
