Kinetic Modeler Skill
Purpose
The Kinetic Modeler Skill develops and validates reaction kinetics models, performing parameter estimation from experimental data and supporting reactor design.
Capabilities
- Rate equation formulation (power law, LHHW, Eley-Rideal)
- Parameter estimation via nonlinear regression
- Arrhenius parameter calculation
- Activation energy determination
- Model discrimination (AIC, BIC criteria)
- Confidence interval estimation
- Reaction mechanism validation
- Kinetic data analysis
Usage Guidelines
When to Use
- Developing kinetic models
- Estimating rate parameters
- Validating reaction mechanisms
- Supporting reactor design
Prerequisites
- Experimental data available
- Proposed mechanism identified

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.
