Log Analysis Skill
Overview
Specialized skill for log analysis, parsing, and aggregation across various logging platforms and formats. Provides deep expertise in extracting insights from logs for troubleshooting and observability.
Capabilities
Log Parsing
- Parse structured log formats (JSON, logfmt)
- Handle unstructured logs with pattern matching
- Extract fields and metadata from syslog
- Parse custom application log formats
- Handle multi-line log entries (stack traces)
Query Languages
- Write and optimize Loki LogQL queries
- Generate Elasticsearch/OpenSearch queries
- Create Splunk SPL queries
- Build CloudWatch Logs Insights queries
Pattern Detection
- Identify log patterns and anomalies
- Detect error clusters and trends
- Correlate logs across services
- Find root cause indicators in log streams
Alerting Integration
- Create log-based alerting rules
- Configure alert thresholds and conditions
- Design alert aggregation strategies
- Implement alert suppression logic
Pipeline Configuration
- Configure log shipping (Fluentd, Fluent Bit, Vector)
- Design log parsing pipelines
- Implement log enrichment and transformation
- Set up log routing and filtering

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.
