Merger Model Builder
Overview
The Merger Model Builder skill creates comprehensive merger models for M&A transaction analysis. It enables purchase price allocation, accretion/dilution analysis, and pro forma financial modeling for deal evaluation.
Capabilities
Purchase Price Allocation
- Fair value determination
- Asset identification
- Liability assumption
- Intangible asset valuation
- Contingent consideration
- Working capital adjustments
Goodwill Calculation
- Purchase consideration
- Fair value of net assets
- Bargain purchase assessment
- Measurement period adjustments
- Allocation documentation
- Impairment considerations
Accretion/Dilution Analysis
- Pro forma EPS calculation
- Standalone EPS comparison
- Breakeven synergy analysis
- Sensitivity tables
- Year-by-year analysis
- Cash vs. stock consideration impact
Synergy Modeling
- Revenue synergy identification
- Cost synergy quantification
- Phase-in timing
- Integration cost estimation
- Run-rate calculation
- Synergy NPV analysis
Pro Forma Financials
- Combined income statement
- Combined balance sheet
- Combined cash flow statement
- Financing adjustments
- Transaction accounting
- Stub period handling
Contribution Analysis
- Revenue contribution
- EBITDA contribution
- Net income contribution
- Ownership percentage
- Value creation allocation
- Exchange ratio analysis

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.
