Learning Transfer Design
Design instructional strategies that promote knowledge and skill transfer to real-world application contexts.
Overview
This skill enables design of instruction that promotes transfer of learning to workplace or real-world contexts. It encompasses transfer theory application, authentic learning design, and support system development to maximize learning impact.
Capabilities
Transfer Theory Application
- Apply near and far transfer principles
- Design for identical elements
- Create meaningful connections
- Support metacognitive development
- Build flexible knowledge structures
Authentic Learning Design
- Create realistic scenarios
- Design workplace-like practice
- Use authentic assessments
- Incorporate real problems
- Simulate actual conditions
Support System Design
- Design job aids and resources
- Create performance support tools
- Plan reinforcement strategies
- Develop manager involvement
- Build communities of practice
Transfer Climate
- Address organizational barriers
- Build supervisor support
- Create accountability systems
- Provide application opportunities
- Track transfer outcomes
Usage Guidelines
Design Process
- Analyze transfer context
- Identify key transfer skills

gsd-tools
Central utility skill for GSD operations. Provides config parsing, slug generation, timestamps, path operations, and orchestrates calls to other specialized skills. Acts as the unified entry point that the original gsd-tools.cjs provided via its lib/ modules (commands, config, core, init).
model-profile-resolution
Resolve model profile (quality/balanced/budget) at orchestration start and map agents to specific models. Enables cost/quality tradeoffs by selecting appropriate AI models for each agent role.
verification-suite
Plan structure validation, phase completeness checks, reference integrity verification, and artifact existence confirmation. Provides the structured verification layer ensuring GSD artifacts are well-formed and complete.
state-management
STATE.md reading, writing, and field-level updates. Provides cross-session state persistence via .planning/STATE.md with structured fields for current task, completed phases, blockers, decisions, and quick tasks.
git-integration
Git commit patterns, formats, and conventions for GSD methodology. Provides atomic commits per task, structured commit messages, planning file commits, branch management, and milestone tag operations.
frontmatter-parsing
YAML frontmatter parsing and manipulation for .planning/ documents. Provides read, write, update, query, and validation operations on frontmatter blocks in GSD markdown artifacts.
