XRD Crystallography Analyzer
Purpose
The XRD Crystallography Analyzer skill provides crystallographic characterization of nanomaterials through X-ray diffraction analysis, enabling phase identification, crystallite size determination, and structural refinement.
Capabilities
- Phase identification and Rietveld refinement
- Crystallite size (Scherrer equation)
- Lattice parameter calculation
- Preferred orientation analysis
- In-situ XRD capabilities
- PDF (Pair Distribution Function) analysis
Usage Guidelines
XRD Analysis
-
Phase Identification
- Match peaks to database entries
- Identify multiple phases
- Assess phase purity
-
Crystallite Size
- Apply Scherrer equation: D = Kl/(B cos theta)
- Account for instrumental broadening
- Use Williamson-Hall for strain
-
Structural Refinement
- Perform Rietveld refinement
- Extract lattice parameters
- Quantify phase fractions
Process Integration
- Multi-Modal Nanomaterial Characterization Pipeline
- Structure-Property Correlation Analysis
- Nanoparticle Synthesis Protocol Development

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.
