Gsd Capture

What it does

Example prompts

• “/gsd-capture”

Requirements

• Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Write, Edit, Bash, Glob, Grep, AskUserQuestion

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

1. 1Parse the leading flag (if any) from the block.
2. 2Load and execute the appropriate workflow end-to-end based on the routing table above.
3. 3Preserve all workflow gates from the target workflow (directory structure, duplicate detection, commits, etc.).

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit ed0f3fd. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

• Tool permissions

  Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

  • Read
  • Write
  • Edit
  • Bash
  • Glob
  • Grep
  • AskUserQuestion

  From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

• Runs code

  No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

  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.

Context cost

Gsd Capture loads about 716 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 18 tokens; SKILL.md has 292 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it

~18

When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches

~716

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.

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.
