Reference

Technical reference resources for internal APIs, data structures, configuration schemas, and formal specifications used throughout GSD Skill Creator. Whether you are looking up the exact field format for a skill definition, validating a configuration file against the schema, or tracing an error through the troubleshooting guide, these reference documents provide the authoritative source of truth for every interface in the system.

Skill & Agent Specifications

• Skill Format Guide — Complete specification for the YAML skill definition format, including all fields (name, trigger, conditions, actions, output), validation rules, and worked examples for each trigger type. The authoritative reference for authoring compliant skill files.

Configuration & Operations

• Configuration Reference — All configuration options available in skill-creator.config.json and environment variables, with type definitions, default values, valid ranges, and examples. Covers skill loading pipeline parameters, token budget thresholds, session observation settings, and pattern detection sensitivity.
• Troubleshooting Guide — Indexed reference for diagnosing common issues including skill activation failures, token budget overruns, pattern detection misses, and WordPress integration errors. Each entry provides the error signature, root cause analysis, and resolution procedure with verification steps.

Internal Architecture
