IPA Transcription and Phonological Analysis
Transcribe speech using International Phonetic Alphabet and analyze sound systems including phonotactics and phonological rules.
Overview
This skill enables phonetic transcription and phonological analysis of language data. It encompasses IPA transcription, sound pattern analysis, and phonological rule identification for language documentation and linguistic research.
Capabilities
IPA Transcription
- Broad transcription
- Narrow transcription
- Diacritic usage
- Suprasegmental marking
- Consistency maintenance
Phonemic Analysis
- Minimal pair identification
- Phoneme inventory
- Allophonic variation
- Complementary distribution
- Free variation
Phonotactics
- Syllable structure
- Consonant clusters
- Vowel sequences
- Position constraints
- Morphophonemic patterns
Phonological Rules
- Rule formalization
- Ordering constraints
- Feature analysis
- Process identification
- Exception handling
Usage Guidelines
Transcription Process
- Listen to recording multiple times
- Identify sound segments
- Select appropriate IPA symbols
- Mark prosodic features
- Verify accuracy
- Document conventions
- Create clean transcription
Analysis Approach
- Collect minimal pairs
- Identify phoneme inventory
- Analyze distribution patterns
- Formulate phonological rules
- Test against data
Documentation Standards
- Use standard IPA
- Note transcription conventions
- Document speaker information
- Preserve recordings
- Maintain version control

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.
