## When to invoke this skill
Navigate pages, interact with
elements, verify state, diff before/after, take annotated screenshots, test responsive
layouts, forms, uploads, dialogs, and capture bug evidence. Use when asked to open or
test a site, verify a deployment, dogfood a user flow, or file a bug with screenshots.

## Plan Mode Safe Operations
In plan mode, allowed because they inform the plan: `$B`, `$D`, `codex exec`/`codex review`, writes to `~/.gstack/`, writes to the plan file, and `open` for generated artifacts.
## Skill Invocation During Plan Mode
If the user invokes a skill in plan mode, the skill takes precedence over generic plan mode behavior. **Treat the skill file as executable instructions, not reference.** Follow it step by step starting from Step 0; the first AskUserQuestion is the workflow entering plan mode, not a violation of it. AskUserQuestion (any variant — `mcp__*__AskUserQuestion` or native; see "AskUserQuestion Format → Tool resolution") satisfies plan mode's end-of-turn requirement. If no variant is callable, the skill is BLOCKED — stop and report `BLOCKED — AskUserQuestion unavailable` per the AskUserQuestion Format rule. At a STOP point, stop immediately. Do not continue the workflow or call ExitPlanMode there. Commands marked "PLAN MODE EXCEPTION — ALWAYS RUN" execute. Call ExitPlanMode only after the skill workflow completes, or if the user tells you to cancel the skill or leave plan mode.
If `PROACTIVE` is `"false"`, do not auto-invoke or proactively suggest skills. If a skill seems useful, ask: "I think /skillname might help here — want me to run it?"
If `SKILL_PREFIX` is `"true"`, suggest/invoke `/gstack-*` names. Disk paths stay `$GSTACK_ROOT/[skill-name]/SKILL.md`.
If output shows `UPGRADE_AVAILABLE <old> <new>`: read `$GSTACK_ROOT/gstack-upgrade/SKILL.md` and follow the "Inline upgrade flow" (auto-upgrade if configured, otherwise AskUserQuestion with 4 options, write snooze state if declined).
If output shows `JUST_UPGRADED <from> <to>`: print "Running gstack v{to} (just updated!)". If `SPAWNED_SESSION` is true, skip feature discovery.
Feature discovery, max one prompt per session:
- Missing `$GSTACK_ROOT/.feature-prompted-continuous-checkpoint`: AskUserQuestion for Continuous checkpoint auto-commits. If accepted, run `$GSTACK_ROOT/bin/gstack-config set checkpoint_mode continuous`. Always touch marker.
- Missing `$GSTACK_ROOT/.feature-prompted-model-overlay`: inform "Model overlays are active. MODEL_OVERLAY shows the patch." Always touch marker.
After upgrade prompts, continue workflow.
If `WRITING_STYLE_PENDING` is `yes`: ask once about writing style:
> v1 prompts are simpler: first-use jargon glosses, outcome-framed questions, shorter prose. Keep default or restore terse?
Options:
- A) Keep the new default (recommended — good writing helps everyone)
- B) Restore V0 prose — set `explain_level: terse`
If A: leave `explain_level` unset (defaults to `default`).
If B: run `$GSTACK_ROOT/bin/gstack-config set explain_level terse`.
Always run (regardless of choice):
```bash
rm -f ~/.gstack/.writing-style-prompt-pending
touch ~/.gstack/.writing-style-prompted
```
Skip if `WRITING_STYLE_PENDING` is `no`.
If `LAKE_INTRO` is `no`: say "gstack follows the **Boil the Lake** principle — do the complete thing when AI makes marginal cost near-zero. Read more: https://garryslist.org/posts/boil-the-ocean" Offer to open:
```bash
open https://garryslist.org/posts/boil-the-ocean
touch ~/.gstack/.completeness-intro-seen
```
Only run `open` if yes. Always run `touch`.
If `TEL_PROMPTED` is `no` AND `LAKE_INTRO` is `yes`: ask telemetry once via AskUserQuestion:
> Help gstack get better. Share usage data only: skill, duration, crashes, stable device ID. No code, file paths, or repo names.
Options:
- A) Help gstack get better! (recommended)
- B) No thanks
If A: run `$GSTACK_ROOT/bin/gstack-config set telemetry community`
If B: ask follow-up:
> Anonymous mode sends only aggregate usage, no unique ID.
Options:
- A) Sure, anonymous is fine
- B) No thanks, fully off
If B→A: run `$GSTACK_ROOT/bin/gstack-config set telemetry anonymous`
If B→B: run `$GSTACK_ROOT/bin/gstack-config set telemetry off`
Always run:
```bash
touch ~/.gstack/.telemetry-prompted
```
Skip if `TEL_PROMPTED` is `yes`.
If `PROACTIVE_PROMPTED` is `no` AND `TEL_PROMPTED` is `yes`: ask once:
> Let gstack proactively suggest skills, like /qa for "does this work?" or /investigate for bugs?
Options:
- A) Keep it on (recommended)
- B) Turn it off — I'll type /commands myself
If A: run `$GSTACK_ROOT/bin/gstack-config set proactive true`
If B: run `$GSTACK_ROOT/bin/gstack-config set proactive false`
Always run:
```bash
touch ~/.gstack/.proactive-prompted
```
Skip if `PROACTIVE_PROMPTED` is `yes`.
If `HAS_ROUTING` is `no` AND `ROUTING_DECLINED` is `false` AND `PROACTIVE_PROMPTED` is `yes`:
Check if a CLAUDE.md file exists in the project root. If it does not exist, create it.
Use AskUserQuestion:
> gstack works best when your project's CLAUDE.md includes skill routing rules.
Options:
- A) Add routing rules to CLAUDE.md (recommended)
- B) No thanks, I'll invoke skills manually
If A: Append this section to the end of CLAUDE.md:
```markdown
## Skill routing
When the user's request matches an available skill, invoke it via the Skill tool. When in doubt, invoke the skill.
Key routing rules:
- Product ideas/brainstorming → invoke /office-hours
- Strategy/scope → invoke /plan-ceo-review
- Architecture → invoke /plan-eng-review
- Design system/plan review → invoke /design-consultation or /plan-design-review
- Full review pipeline → invoke /autoplan
- Bugs/errors → invoke /investigate
- QA/testing site behavior → invoke /qa or /qa-only
- Code review/diff check → invoke /review
- Visual polish → invoke /design-review
- Ship/deploy/PR → invoke /ship or /land-and-deploy
- Save progress → invoke /context-save
- Resume context → invoke /context-restore
```
Then commit the change: `git add CLAUDE.md && git commit -m "chore: add gstack skill routing rules to CLAUDE.md"`
If B: run `$GSTACK_ROOT/bin/gstack-config set routing_declined true` and say they can re-enable with `gstack-config set routing_declined false`.
This only happens once per project. Skip if `HAS_ROUTING` is `yes` or `ROUTING_DECLINED` is `true`.
If `VENDORED_GSTACK` is `yes`, warn once via AskUserQuestion unless `~/.gstack/.vendoring-warned-$SLUG` exists:
> This project has gstack vendored in `$GSTACK_ROOT/`. Vendoring is deprecated.
> Migrate to team mode?
Options:
- A) Yes, migrate to team mode now
- B) No, I'll handle it myself
If A:
1. Run `git rm -r $GSTACK_ROOT/`
2. Run `echo '$GSTACK_ROOT/' >> .gitignore`
