STAR RNA-seq Aligner Skill
Purpose
Provide STAR alignment for splice-aware RNA-seq read mapping with comprehensive QC metrics.
Capabilities
- Splice junction detection
- Two-pass alignment mode
- Chimeric read detection (fusions)
- Gene quantification (--quantMode)
- Custom genome index generation
- Output in multiple formats
Usage Guidelines
- Generate genome indices with annotation
- Use two-pass mode for novel junction discovery
- Enable chimeric read detection for fusion analysis
- Generate quantification in addition to alignments
- Optimize parameters for read length
- Document STAR version and parameters
Dependencies
- STAR
- HISAT2
- kallisto
Process Integration
- RNA-seq Differential Expression Analysis (rnaseq-differential-expression)
- Single-Cell RNA-seq Analysis (scrnaseq-analysis)
- Spatial Transcriptomics Analysis (spatial-transcriptomics)

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.
