SSE Skill
Expert assistance for implementing Server-Sent Events for real-time streaming.
Capabilities
- Implement SSE endpoints
- Handle streaming responses
- Manage client connections
- Build event-driven updates
- Implement reconnection
Usage
Invoke this skill when you need to:
- Stream updates to clients
- Implement live feeds
- Build notification systems
- One-way real-time communication
Implementation
// Server
app.get('/events', (req, res) => {
res.setHeader('Content-Type', 'text/event-stream');
res.setHeader('Cache-Control', 'no-cache');
res.setHeader('Connection', 'keep-alive');
const sendEvent = (event: string, data: object) => {
res.write(`event: ${event}\n`);
res.write(`data: ${JSON.stringify(data)}\n\n`);
};
// Send initial data
sendEvent('connected', { timestamp: Date.now() });
// Subscribe to updates
const unsubscribe = eventEmitter.on('update', (data) => {
sendEvent('update', data);
});
req.on('close', () => {
unsubscribe();
});
});
// Client
const eventSource = new EventSource('/events');
eventSource.addEventListener('update', (event) => {
const data = JSON.parse(event.data);
console.log('Update:', data);
});
Best Practices
- Handle reconnection
- Use event types for routing
- Implement keep-alive
- Clean up on disconnect
Target Processes

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.
