FAQPage Schema
How do I switch skill profiles at runtime without reinstalling?▼

To switch skill profiles at runtime without reinstalling, use gsd-surface to reapply a different active profile layout. It reads the .gsd-surface state file and updates your runtime configuration to toggle the active skill surface immediately.

What is runtime skill surface control and when do I need it?▼

Runtime skill surface control is the ability to change which skill clusters are visible and active without rebuilding. You need it to reduce workspace distractions by enabling only core workflow skills before a focused session, then restoring the full surface afterward.

Can I enable or disable specific skill clusters like docs or ui individually?▼

Yes, you can enable or disable specific skill clusters like docs, ui, utility, or audit_review individually. gsd-surface validates cluster names and updates the runtime configuration to give you a tailored workspace with only the clusters you need active.

How do I list which skill clusters are currently enabled or disabled?▼

To list which skill clusters are currently enabled or disabled, use gsd-surface to show the current surface. It reads the .gsd-surface state file and displays the active profile layout along with the status of all available skill clusters.

What's the best way to reset my skill surface configuration back to defaults?▼

The best way to reset your skill surface configuration back to defaults is using the reset behavior in gsd-surface. It validates reset parameters and rewrites the .gsd-surface state file to restore the original active profile layout.
