Gaia Skill Tree Meta Audit Series

Gaia completed a coordinated review of seven human-submitted intake issues. Five new promotion pull requests added 26 named entries and nine generic capabilities, one previously landed batch received its missing formal closure, and one incomplete proposal was declined with a concrete path to resubmission. Every accepted entry was mapped, evidenced, calibrated, validated, and merged without squashing.

Executive Summary

This intake wave tested the full curation promise: broad enough to recognize new capability boundaries, strict enough not to mistake every upstream folder for a new generic skill, and transparent enough to explain rejection without discouraging future contribution.

The result was five registry merges:

The wave also completed the overdue close-out for intake #1607, whose leonxlnx/taste-skill suite and leonxlnx/unlazy implementation had already landed through PR #1608.

New Capability Boundaries

Nine generic capabilities entered the graph across the five new merges:

• context-safe-execution
• scroll-driven-web-design
• concept-synthesis
• gbrain
• audio-mixing
• creative-direction
• design-source-import
• interactive-presentation-authoring
• media-asset-orchestration

Other implementations were deliberately mapped to existing capabilities. citrolabs/ego-browser became an implementation of browser-control; GBrain's brain-ops and capture mapped to knowledge-management and personal-knowledge-management; and HyperFrames components reused established video, animation, discovery, and framework-upgrade nodes wherever those boundaries already fit.

This distinction matters. Named implementations can multiply without forcing the generic graph to fragment around repository vocabulary.

Suite Curation Without Scope Inflation

GBrain

The GBrain capstone was kept separate from existing gstack-derived entries. Its suite contains only the three components reviewed in this intake:

• garrytan/brain-ops
• garrytan/capture
• garrytan/concept-synthesis

The review explicitly rejected gbrain-advisor and gbrain-upgrade. Both are useful project operations, but in their submitted form they are vendor-specific diagnostic and update wrappers rather than independent transferable capabilities.

HyperFrames

HyperFrames landed as a 4★ suite capstone with 18 installable 3★ components. The evidence calculation discounts repository-wide adoption across the upstream skill count rather than crediting the same 44,308-star signal at full strength to every component.

general-video was excluded because its fallback/router scope duplicated the capstone. Five genuinely missing vendor-neutral capability boundaries were added; the remaining components mapped into existing topology.

Tooling remediation PR #1744 landed before the suite. Installation instructions and evidence were pinned to upstream commit 7a2a6917367e6dd7ce22f4c321c4a852dcf58dfd.

Honest Rejection Is Part of Curation

Intake #1673 proposed agent-checkpoint-resume, a capability Gaia still considers valid through gap #1426. The intake itself could not be promoted because it supplied no installable SKILL.md, claimed self-made attribution while citing LangGraph, and linked only to a bare third-party repository with no matching skill artifact.

The issue was closed with an explicit invitation to try again: publish a runnable skill, provide a pinned blob/.../SKILL.md URL, align attribution with the actual author, and attach evidence to the implementation being submitted. Rejecting an incomplete packet is not rejecting the contributor or the capability.

Operational Result

Every promotion branch was merged forward onto the current main, regenerated from canonical registry source, and passed schema, DAG, reference, timeline, Trust Magnitude, generated-document, test, authorship, and security checks. Mainline merges used merge commits rather than squashing, preserving the curation and evidence history.

The five new promotion merges are:

1. 985fc01ad3c656fc429f87411b0571bdb804458c — Context Mode 2. 9c1e575a — Ego Browser 3. 54bfaa12a53f — Scroll Craft 4. 6473e906fd67ead261c3de2151ab5717369b8f95 — GBrain 5. 0e89ccd43be22f7481d1cebc5773a73cc06b3740 — HyperFrames

Together they added 26 named entries in this session's new merges while retaining a clear audit trail for excluded candidates and the previously landed batch closure.
