Extract decisions, lessons, patterns, and surprises from completed phase artifacts

  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Gsd Extract Learnings is an agent skill from open-gsd/gsd-core. Extract decisions, lessons, patterns, and surprises from completed phase artifacts

Its SKILL.md is about 230 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

The repository describes itself as: Git. Ship. Done - Core. The licence is MIT.

Example prompts

  • “/gsd-extract-learnings”

Requirements

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

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 5d987cc. 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
    • Bash
    • Grep
    • Glob
    • Agent

    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 Extract Learnings loads about 225 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 26 tokens; SKILL.md has 65 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~26
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~225

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.

Auto-check: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

  • NotePre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: Bash)SKILL.md
    allowed-tools: Read, Write, Bash, Grep, Glob, Agent

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.
