SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Physics research workflows need different agent behavior at different phases: rigorous derivations, fast numerical work, exploratory scoping, critical review, or manuscript writing. Manually reconfiguring each agent's tier and emphasis for every phase is error-prone and slow. This Skill centralizes that switch into a single validated command. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Profile Switching: Sets the model_profile field in .gpd/config.json to one of five modes: deep-theory, numerical, exploratory, review, or paper-writing. - Validated Workflow: Validates the profile argument, ensures the config file exists with defaults, updates it, and displays a confirmation with per-agent tier assignments and behavioral highlights. - Use Case: Before drafting a manuscript, run the skill with the paper-writing profile so the planner organizes tasks by paper sections and the paper-writer agent operates at tier-1 with publication-readiness verification. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to switch the GPD research profile to deep-theory before starting formal derivation work.

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I change the GPD research profile?▼

Invoke the skill with one of the five valid profiles: deep-theory, numerical, exploratory, review, or paper-writing. The workflow validates the argument, ensures .gpd/config.json exists, updates the model_profile field, and confirms the new mode.

What research profiles are available for physics agents?▼

Five profiles exist: deep-theory for rigorous derivations, numerical for computational work, exploratory for rapid scoping, review for validation and error checking, and paper-writing for manuscript preparation. Each adjusts agent tiers and verification depth.

Does set-profile change the runtime model IDs?▼

No. set-profile only changes abstract tier assignments (tier-1, tier-2) per agent. To pin concrete runtime model strings for each tier, use the gpd-settings skill or edit .gpd/config.json directly.

Does switching profile also change the review cadence?▼

No. The execution.review_cadence setting (dense, adaptive, sparse) is independent of the profile. Change it separately via gpd-settings or by editing .gpd/config.json; set-profile never rewrites cadence automatically.

What happens if I pass an invalid profile name?▼

The workflow validates the argument against the five allowed profiles and exits with an error listing the valid options. No config changes are made when validation fails.
