GSD & Skill Creator

Architecture documentation, learning guides, and system schematics
Open source · github.com/Tibsfox/gsd-skill-creator · Gastown chipset architecture

These guides document the GSD (Get Shit Done) workflow system and the Skill Creator adaptive learning layer. The architecture draws from Amiga chipset design — specialized coprocessors coordinating through a shared bus, each handling a different domain of the computation.

Connection to Research

The GSD architecture is the tooling that builds this research site. Every page you read was planned, executed, and verified through GSD workflows. The chipset patterns map directly to distributed computing patterns studied in our WLCG research and formalized in the file-native agent architecture problem. The sweep cadence, mission packs, and convoy model are all GSD primitives in action.
