Curation Report: Addy Osmani 7-Skill Suite Integration

Gaia Research

July 3, 2026

Abstract

This note documents the curation of the 7-Skill suite from Addy Osmani's agent-skills repository into the Gaia registry. All 7 components, including the existing test-driven-development skill, have been successfully linked to the newly minted agent-skills suite capstone at Level 1★ (Awakened).

Following the Git Ship Done (GSD) integration, Gaia has successfully curated the 7-Skill developer pipeline from Addy Osmani's agent-skills repository. The new named skills map cleanly to existing generic references in the registry and establish a structured software engineering loop for AI agents. Stargazer evidence has been mapped to each component with a repository divisor of 7 to prevent signal inflation.

Component Mappings

The following named skills have been registered and linked under the addy-osmani contributor namespace:

/spec mapped to addy-osmani/spec-driven-development (prd-generation)
/plan mapped to addy-osmani/planning-and-task-breakdown (vertical-slice-planning)
/build mapped to addy-osmani/incremental-implementation (executing-plans)
/test linked to addy-osmani/test-driven-development (test-driven-development, existing 2★ skill)
/review mapped to addy-osmani/code-review-and-quality (code-review-pipeline)
/ship mapped to addy-osmani/shipping-and-launch (finishing-a-development-branch)
/code-simplify mapped to addy-osmani/code-simplification (refactor-code)

All components were successfully associated with the suite capstone addy-osmani/agent-skills using the suiteRef / suiteComponents attributes.

Evidence and Discounting

The suite is backed by a repository carrying ~68,564 GitHub Stars. In line with Gaia's star-bar rules and to prevent the mothership discount from distorting individual skill levels, a divisor of skillCountInRepo: 7 was applied. This counts only the true user-facing pipeline components and intentionally excludes minor utility helper files.

The components have been introduced at Level 1★ (Awakened). A timeline note has been appended to the suite capstone registry node logging the successful fusion event.
