A fork of gstack with telemetry, auto-update, and promotional content removed.
gstack turns Claude Code into a virtual engineering team: structured roles for product thinking, architecture review, code review, QA, security audits, and release engineering. All slash commands, all Markdown, MIT license.
What was removed:
- All telemetry (local JSONL logging, Supabase phone-home, analytics scripts)
- Auto-update checks and version nagging
- YC application funnel in
/gstack-office-hours(the 3-tier Garry Tan pitch, founder signal scoring, 34-resource YC video library) - "Community PR guardrails" that told Claude to reject PRs removing promotional content
- Supabase backend configuration
What was kept:
- All 32 skills (renamed to
/gstack-*prefix) - Headless browser (Playwright)
- Design tools
- The genuinely useful product thinking frameworks
- The uninstaller (
bin/gstack-uninstall)
Requirements: Claude Code, Git, Bun v1.0+

~/.claude/skills/gstack/bin/gstack-uninstallgstack is a process, not a collection of tools. The skills run in the order a sprint runs:
Think -> Plan -> Build -> Review -> Test -> Ship -> Reflect
Each skill feeds into the next. /gstack-office-hours writes a design doc that /gstack-plan-ceo-review reads. /gstack-plan-eng-review writes a test plan that /gstack-qa picks up. /gstack-review catches bugs that /gstack-ship verifies are fixed.
Skill not showing up? cd ~/.claude/skills/gstack && ./setup
/gstack-browse fails? cd ~/.claude/skills/gstack && bun install && bun run build
Windows users: gstack works on Windows 11 via Git Bash or WSL. Node.js is required in addition to Bun (bun#4253). The browse server automatically falls back to Node.js. Make sure both bun and node are on your PATH.
Codex says "Skipped loading skill(s) due to invalid SKILL.md"? Stale skill descriptions. Fix: cd ~/.codex/skills/gstack && ./setup --host codex
Claude says it can't see the skills? Make sure your project's CLAUDE.md has a gstack section:
