Tutorials

Learn GSD Skill Creator through hands-on, step-by-step tutorials ranging from beginner to advanced. Each tutorial builds real skills — from creating your first skill from scratch, through threshold calibration, multi-agent team coordination, conflict detection, and automating skill validation in CI/CD pipelines. Follow the learning path in order or jump to the level that fits your experience.

Creating Your First Skill

Beginner

Build a working skill from scratch — from designing the observation trigger through activation criteria, testing behavior, and verifying it performs as intended in real sessions.

Calibrating Thresholds

Intermediate

Fine-tune skill activation thresholds using real session data and evaluation metrics. Learn to balance sensitivity against specificity to avoid false activations and missed triggers.

Creating Agent Teams

Intermediate

Configure multi-agent teams with role assignment, task coordination, and shared context management. Covers team composition patterns, handoff protocols, and result aggregation strategies.

Detecting Conflicts

Advanced

Identify and resolve skill conflicts using dependency analysis and activation tracing. Covers conflict taxonomy, the detection pipeline, resolution strategies, and preventing regressions.

CI/CD Integration

Advanced

Integrate skill validation into CI/CD pipelines with automated testing, activation simulation, and deployment gates that prevent regressions from reaching production.

Skills vs Agents vs Teams

Understanding the three-tier composition hierarchy: when to use individual skills, when to compose them into agents, and when to coordinate agents as teams.

Skill Format Guide

Complete YAML specification for skill files covering activation triggers, rules, context injection, token budget hints, and version metadata.

Working with Knowledge Packs

Create, customize, and deploy structured knowledge packs for educational content delivery with adaptive learning pathways.

Building Course Materials

Design curriculum using skill-creator's knowledge pack format with modules, activities, assessments, and adaptive sequencing.

Pattern Discovery Workflow

Step-by-step guide to the pattern detection pipeline: from session observation through pattern recognition to skill candidate promotion.

Session Recording & Playback

Record Claude Code sessions for pattern analysis, replay for debugging, and share as training data for skill refinement.
