MoveIt Motion Planning Skill
Overview
Expert skill for configuring and optimizing MoveIt/MoveIt2 for robotic manipulation, including kinematics solvers, motion planners, and grasp planning pipelines.
Capabilities
- Generate MoveIt configuration packages with Setup Assistant
- Configure kinematics solvers (KDL, IKFast, TracIK, BioIK)
- Set up SRDF files with planning groups and end effectors
- Configure OMPL planners (RRT, RRT*, PRM, BiTRRT)
- Implement grasp planning and pick-place pipelines
- Configure collision checking (FCL, Bullet)
- Set up planning scene and octomap integration
- Implement motion planning adapters and post-processing
- Configure trajectory execution and monitoring
- Debug IK failures and planning issues
Target Processes
- moveit-manipulation-planning.js
- trajectory-optimization.js
- robot-system-design.js
Dependencies
- MoveIt/MoveIt2
- OMPL (Open Motion Planning Library)
- IK solvers (KDL, IKFast, TracIK)
- FCL (Flexible Collision Library)
Usage Context
This skill is invoked when processes require manipulation planning, arm motion planning, pick-and-place operations, or any task involving MoveIt configuration and optimization.
Output Artifacts
- MoveIt configuration packages
- SRDF robot semantic descriptions
- OMPL planner configurations
- Kinematics solver configurations
- Planning scene configurations
- Trajectory execution parameters

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.
