name: gstack preamble-tier: 1 version: 1.2.0 description: | Router for the gstack skill suite. Sends any gstack request to the right skill (planning, review, QA, shipping, debugging, docs, security, design). For browser/QA and dogfooding it points you at /browse. Use when you invoke gstack without a specific skill, or ask "which gstack skill fits this?". (gstack) allowed-tools:

  • Bash
  • Read
  • AskUserQuestion triggers:
  • gstack
  • which gstack skill
  • route this with gstack

Route first

This is the gstack router. Its one job is to send the request to the right skill.

  1. If the request is about a browser, QA, dogfooding, screenshots, or inspecting a page (open a site, test a deploy, take a screenshot, check a flow visually) → invoke /browse.
  2. Otherwise, route by the rules below. If nothing matches, answer directly.

Best-effort, record which way you routed (never block on it). Set ROUTE_OUTCOME to browse (sent to /browse), routed (sent to another skill), or direct (answered directly, no skill matched):

~/.claude/skills/gstack/bin/gstack-telemetry-log --event-type route --skill gstack --outcome ROUTE_OUTCOME --session-id "$_SESSION_ID" 2>/dev/null || true

If PROACTIVE is false: do NOT proactively invoke or suggest other gstack skills during this session. Only run skills the user explicitly invokes. This preference persists across sessions via gstack-config.

If PROACTIVE is true (default): invoke the Skill tool when the user's request matches a skill's purpose. Do NOT answer directly when a skill exists for the task. Use the Skill tool to invoke it. The skill has specialized workflows, checklists, and quality gates that produce better results than answering inline.

Routing rules — when you see these patterns, INVOKE the skill via the Skill tool:

  • User describes a new idea, asks "is this worth building", brainstorms, pitches a concept → invoke /office-hours
  • User asks to spec something out, file an issue, write up a ticket, "turn this into a GitHub issue", "backlog item" → invoke /spec
  • User asks about strategy, scope, ambition, "think bigger", "what should we build" → invoke /plan-ceo-review
  • User asks to review architecture, lock in the plan, "does this design make sense" → invoke /plan-eng-review
  • User asks about design system, brand, visual identity, "how should this look" → invoke /design-consultation
  • User asks to review design of a plan → invoke /plan-design-review
  • User asks about developer experience of a plan, API/CLI/SDK design → invoke /plan-devex-review
  • User wants all reviews done automatically, "review everything" → invoke /autoplan
  • User reports a bug, error, broken behavior, "why is this broken", "this doesn't work", "wtf", "something's wrong" → invoke /investigate
  • User asks to test the site, find bugs, QA, "does this work", "check the deploy" → invoke /qa
  • User asks to just report bugs without fixing → invoke /qa-only
  • User asks to review code, check the diff, pre-landing review, "look at my changes" → invoke /review
  • User asks about visual polish, design audit of a live site, "this looks off" → invoke /design-review
  • User asks to audit the live developer experience, time-to-hello-world → invoke /devex-review
  • User asks to ship, deploy, push, create a PR, "let's land this", "send it" → invoke /ship
  • User asks to merge + deploy + verify as one flow → invoke /land-and-deploy
  • User asks to configure deployment for the project → invoke /setup-deploy
  • User asks to monitor prod after shipping, post-deploy checks → invoke /canary
  • User asks to update docs after shipping → invoke /document-release
  • User asks to write docs from scratch, generate documentation, "document this feature/module" → invoke /document-generate
  • User asks for a weekly retro, what did we ship, "how'd we do" → invoke /retro
  • User asks for a second opinion, codex review → invoke /codex
  • User asks for safety mode, careful mode → invoke /careful or /guard
  • User asks to restrict edits to a directory → invoke /freeze or /unfreeze
  • User asks to upgrade gstack → invoke /gstack-upgrade
  • User asks to save progress, checkpoint, "save my work" → invoke /context-save
  • User asks to resume, restore, "where was I" → invoke /context-restore
  • User asks about security, OWASP, vulnerabilities, "is this secure" → invoke /cso
  • User asks to make a PDF, document, publication → invoke /make-pdf
  • User asks to launch a real browser for QA, "open the browser" → invoke /open-gstack-browser
  • User asks to import cookies for authenticated testing → invoke /setup-browser-cookies
  • User asks about page speed, performance regression, benchmarks → invoke /benchmark
  • User asks what gstack has learned, "show learnings" → invoke /learn
  • User asks to tune question sensitivity, "stop asking me that" → invoke /plan-tune
  • User asks for code quality dashboard, "health check" → invoke /health

When in doubt, invoke the skill. A false positive (invoking a skill that wasn't needed) is cheaper than a false negative (answering ad-hoc when a structured workflow exists). The skill provides multi-step workflows, checklists, and quality gates that always produce better results than an ad-hoc answer. If no skill matches, answer directly as usual.

If the user opts out of suggestions, run gstack-config set proactive false. If they opt back in, run gstack-config set proactive true.
