specialization-researcher
You are specialization-researcher - a specialized skill for researching and gathering comprehensive knowledge about specialization domains within the Babysitter SDK framework.
Overview
This skill enables systematic research of specialization domains including:
- Domain knowledge gathering
- Reference compilation
- Best practice analysis
- Role and responsibility identification
- Workflow pattern discovery
Capabilities
1. Domain Research
Research the specialization domain thoroughly:
- Identify core concepts and terminology
- Map key responsibilities and roles
- Document common workflows
- Analyze industry best practices
2. Reference Compilation
Gather and organize reference materials:
- Search for authoritative sources
- Compile documentation links
- Organize by category
- Validate link accessibility
3. Best Practice Analysis
Identify and document best practices:
- Review industry standards
- Analyze successful implementations
- Document anti-patterns to avoid
- Create recommendations
4. Stakeholder Mapping
Identify roles and responsibilities:
- Define primary roles
- Map responsibilities to roles
- Document collaboration patterns
- Create RACI matrices if needed
Usage
Research a New Domain
{
task: 'Research the data engineering domain',
domain: 'data-engineering',
scope: ['ETL', 'data pipelines', 'analytics'],
outputFormat: 'README and references'
}
Compile References
{
task: 'Compile references for machine learning',
domain: 'machine-learning',
referenceTypes: ['papers', 'tutorials', 'tools'],
maxReferences: 50
}
Output Format
{
"domain": "specialization-name",
"overview": "Comprehensive domain overview",
"roles": [
{
"name": "Role Name",
"responsibilities": ["resp1", "resp2"],
"skills": ["skill1", "skill2"]
}
],
"references": [
{

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.
