Ligand Exchange Protocol Manager
Purpose
The Ligand Exchange Protocol Manager skill provides systematic management of surface functionalization reactions for nanoparticles, enabling controlled ligand exchange, bioconjugation, and quantification of surface functional groups.
Capabilities
- Ligand exchange reaction design
- Bioconjugation chemistry selection
- Click chemistry protocols
- Functional group quantification (TNBS, Ellman's)
- Conjugation efficiency optimization
- Surface coverage calculation
Usage Guidelines
Ligand Exchange Design
-
Chemistry Selection
- Match incoming ligand affinity
- Consider exchange kinetics
- Optimize solvent system
-
Bioconjugation Protocols
- EDC/NHS for carboxyl-amine coupling
- Maleimide-thiol for cysteine targeting
- Click chemistry for orthogonal conjugation
-
Surface Coverage Quantification
- UV-Vis for chromophoric ligands
- TGA for organic content
- XPS for elemental analysis
Process Integration
- Nanomaterial Surface Functionalization Pipeline
- Nanoparticle Drug Delivery System Development
- Nanosensor Development and Validation Pipeline

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.
