Network Simulation Skill
Expert skill for network condition simulation, emulation, and chaos engineering testing environments.
Capabilities
- Traffic Control: Configure tc (traffic control) for latency, bandwidth, and packet loss simulation
- Network Namespaces: Set up network namespaces for network isolation testing
- WAN Emulation: Emulate WAN conditions with netem (delay, jitter, loss, corruption)
- Virtual Topologies: Create virtual network topologies for testing
- Packet Manipulation: Simulate packet loss, reordering, duplication, and corruption
- Degraded Conditions Testing: Test applications under degraded network conditions
- Chaos Scenarios: Generate chaos engineering scenarios for resilience testing
- Container Networking: Configure Docker/Kubernetes network simulation

Usage Examples
Latency Simulation
tc qdisc add dev eth0 root netem delay 100ms 20ms distribution normal
tc qdisc change dev eth0 root netem delay 200ms 40ms 25% correlation
Packet Loss Simulation
tc qdisc add dev eth0 root netem loss 5% 25%
tc qdisc add dev eth0 root netem loss gemodel 1% 10% 70% 0.1%
Bandwidth Limiting
tc qdisc add dev eth0 root tbf rate 1mbit burst 32kbit latency 400ms
Network Namespace Isolation
ip netns add test_ns
ip link add veth0 type veth peer name veth1
ip link set veth1 netns test_ns
ip netns exec test_ns ip addr add 10.0.0.2/24 dev veth1
ip netns exec test_ns ip link set veth1 up
Toxiproxy Chaos
toxiproxy-cli create -l localhost:6379 -u localhost:6380 redis_proxy
toxiproxy-cli toxic add -t latency -a latency=1000 redis_proxy
Quality Gates
- Network conditions applied correctly
- Application behavior under degraded conditions verified
- Chaos scenarios executed successfully
- Recovery testing completed
- Performance baselines established

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).
a5c-ai/babysitter
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.
a5c-ai/babysitter
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.
a5c-ai/babysitter
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.
a5c-ai/babysitter
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.
