What it does
Pattern Transfer is an agent skill from digipulse-engineering/GAAI-framework. Discover structurally similar patterns across domains, assess transfer viability via structural invariant checking, and propose domain adaptations with risk gates. Activate when Discovery identifies a problem that may have been solved in another domain.
Its SKILL.md is about 2.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files, including reference files (for example `references/anti-patterns.md`, `references/pattern-card-format.md` and `references/structural-tags.md`). Compatibility notes: Works with any filesystem-based AI coding agent
The repository describes itself as: Turns AI coding tools into reliable software delivery systems. Drop a .gaai/ folder into any project — Discovery defines what to build, Delivery executes autonomously until…

Requirements
- Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Works with any filesystem-based AI coding agent
Workflow steps
6 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
- Pattern Discovery
- Structural Alignment Check
- Domain Distance Assessment
- Transfer Proposal
- Risk Gate
- Post-Transfer Validation (After Delivery)
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit a26ea7a. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are markdown and yaml).
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Compatibility
Works with any filesystem-based AI coding agent
From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Context cost
Pattern Transfer loads about 2.3k tokens when it runs, and up to ~7.1k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 68 tokens; SKILL.md has 877 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.
SKILL.md
Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 877 words (~2,297 tokens).

Questions about Pattern Transfer
What does Pattern Transfer do?
Discover structurally similar patterns across domains, assess transfer viability via structural invariant checking, and propose domain adaptations with risk gates. Pattern Transfer is an agent skill from digipulse-engineering/GAAI-framework. Discover structurally similar patterns across domains, assess transfer viability via structural invariant checking, and propose domain adaptations with risk gates.
How do I install Pattern Transfer in Claude Code?
Run `npx skills add digipulse-engineering/GAAI-framework --skill pattern-transfer -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (.gaai/core/skills/cross/pattern-transfer in digipulse-engineering/GAAI-framework) into .claude/skills/pattern-transfer in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
How do I install Pattern Transfer in Codex?
Run `npx skills add digipulse-engineering/GAAI-framework --skill pattern-transfer -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (.gaai/core/skills/cross/pattern-transfer in digipulse-engineering/GAAI-framework) into .agents/skills/pattern-transfer in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Can I use Pattern Transfer in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add digipulse-engineering/GAAI-framework --skill pattern-transfer -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/pattern-transfer, .gemini/skills/pattern-transfer, .github/skills/pattern-transfer and .opencode/skills/pattern-transfer in your project.
What does Pattern Transfer need to run?
SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Pattern Transfer is instructions for the agent only. Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Works with any filesystem-based AI coding agent.
Does Pattern Transfer access the network?
SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Is Pattern Transfer safe to install?
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.
What licence does Pattern Transfer use?
Pattern Transfer has a licence file (the repository's licence) that doesn't match a standard licence. Read it on GitHub before reusing the skill.
How many tokens does Pattern Transfer use?
About 2.3k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 9.2k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full. Its references folder adds about 4.8k tokens, read only when the agent opens those files.
What are the alternatives to Pattern Transfer?
Skills that share tags, products or a category with Pattern Transfer: Similarity Search Patterns (wshobson/agents, 40k stars), Architecture Patterns (wshobson/agents, 40k stars), Golang Patterns (affaan-m/ECC, 274k stars) and Architecture Patterns (davila7/claude-code-templates, 32k stars). The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.
