If PROACTIVE is "false", do not proactively suggest gstack skills — only invoke them when the user explicitly asks. The user opted out of proactive suggestions.

If output shows UPGRADE_AVAILABLE <old> <new>: read ~/.claude/skills/gstack/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 JUST_UPGRADED <from> <to>: tell user "Running gstack v{to} (just updated!)" and continue.

If LAKE_INTRO is no: Before continuing, introduce the Completeness Principle. Tell the user: "gstack follows the Boil the Lake principle — always do the complete thing when AI makes the marginal cost near-zero. Read more: https://garryslist.org/posts/boil-the-ocean" Then offer to open the essay in their default browser:

open https://garryslist.org/posts/boil-the-ocean
touch ~/.gstack/.completeness-intro-seen

Only run open if the user says yes. Always run touch to mark as seen. This only happens once.

If TEL_PROMPTED is no AND LAKE_INTRO is yes: After the lake intro is handled, ask the user about telemetry. Use AskUserQuestion:

Help gstack get better! Community mode shares usage data (which skills you use, how long they take, crash info) with a stable device ID so we can track trends and fix bugs faster. No code, file paths, or repo names are ever sent. Change anytime with gstack-config set telemetry off.

Options:

• A) Help gstack get better! (recommended)
• B) No thanks

If A: run ~/.claude/skills/gstack/bin/gstack-config set telemetry community

If B: ask a follow-up AskUserQuestion:

How about anonymous mode? We just learn that someone used gstack — no unique ID, no way to connect sessions. Just a counter that helps us know if anyone's out there.

Options:

• A) Sure, anonymous is fine
• B) No thanks, fully off

If B→A: run ~/.claude/skills/gstack/bin/gstack-config set telemetry anonymous If B→B: run ~/.claude/skills/gstack/bin/gstack-config set telemetry off

Always run:

touch ~/.gstack/.telemetry-prompted

This only happens once. If TEL_PROMPTED is yes, skip this entirely.

Contributor Mode

If _CONTRIB is true: you are in contributor mode. At the end of each major workflow step, rate your gstack experience 0-10. If not a 10 and there's an actionable bug or improvement — file a field report.

File only: gstack tooling bugs where the input was reasonable but gstack failed. Skip: user app bugs, network errors, auth failures on user's site.

To file: write ~/.gstack/contributor-logs/{slug}.md:

# {Title}
**What I tried:** {action} | **What happened:** {result} | **Rating:** {0-10}
## Repro
1. {step}
## What would make this a 10
{one sentence}
**Date:** {YYYY-MM-DD} | **Version:** {version} | **Skill:** /{skill}

Slug: lowercase hyphens, max 60 chars. Skip if exists. Max 3/session. File inline, don't stop.

Completion Status Protocol

When completing a skill workflow, report status using one of:

• DONE — All steps completed successfully. Evidence provided for each claim.
• DONE_WITH_CONCERNS — Completed, but with issues the user should know about. List each concern.
• BLOCKED — Cannot proceed. State what is blocking and what was tried.
• NEEDS_CONTEXT — Missing information required to continue. State exactly what you need.

Escalation

It is always OK to stop and say "this is too hard for me" or "I'm not confident in this result."

Bad work is worse than no work. You will not be penalized for escalating.

• If you have attempted a task 3 times without success, STOP and escalate.
• If you are uncertain about a security-sensitive change, STOP and escalate.
• If the scope of work exceeds what you can verify, STOP and escalate.

Escalation format:

STATUS: BLOCKED | NEEDS_CONTEXT
REASON: [1-2 sentences]
ATTEMPTED: [what you tried]
RECOMMENDATION: [what the user should do next]

Telemetry (run last)

After the skill workflow completes (success, error, or abort), log the telemetry event. Determine the skill name from the name: field in this file's YAML frontmatter. Determine the outcome from the workflow result (success if completed normally, error if it failed, abort if the user interrupted).

PLAN MODE EXCEPTION — ALWAYS RUN: This command writes telemetry to ~/.gstack/analytics/ (user config directory, not project files). The skill preamble already writes to the same directory — this is the same pattern. Skipping this command loses session duration and outcome data.

Run this bash:

_TEL_END=$(date +%s)
_TEL_DUR=$(( _TEL_END - _TEL_START ))
rm -f ~/.gstack/analytics/.pending-"$_SESSION_ID" 2>/dev/null || true
~/.claude/skills/gstack/bin/gstack-telemetry-log \
  --skill "SKILL_NAME" --duration "$_TEL_DUR" --outcome "OUTCOME" \
  --used-browse "USED_BROWSE" --session-id "$_SESSION_ID" 2>/dev/null &

Replace SKILL_NAME with the actual skill name from frontmatter, OUTCOME with success/error/abort, and USED_BROWSE with true/false based on whether $B was used. If you cannot determine the outcome, use "unknown". This runs in the background and never blocks the user.

Plan Status Footer

When you are in plan mode and about to call ExitPlanMode:

1. Check if the plan file already has a ## GSTACK REVIEW REPORT section.
2. If it DOES — skip (a review skill already wrote a richer report).
3. If it does NOT — run this command:

```bash ~/.claude/skills/gstack/bin/gstack-review-read ```

Then write a ## GSTACK REVIEW REPORT section to the end of the plan file:

• If the output contains review entries (JSONL lines before ---CONFIG---): format the standard report table with runs/status/findings per skill, same format as the review skills use.
• If the output is NO_REVIEWS or empty: write this placeholder table:

```markdown

GSTACK REVIEW REPORT

Review	Trigger	Why	Runs	Status	Findings
CEO Review	`/plan-ceo-review`	Scope & strategy	0	—	—
Codex Review	`/codex review`	Independent 2nd opinion	0	—	—
Eng Review	`/plan-eng-review`	Architecture & tests (required)	0	—	—
Design Review	`/plan-design-review`	UI/UX gaps	0	—	—

VERDICT: NO REVIEWS YET — run `/autoplan` for full review pipeline, or individual reviews above. ```

PLAN MODE EXCEPTION — ALWAYS RUN: This writes to the plan file, which is the one file you are allowed to edit in plan mode. The plan file review report is part of the plan's living status.

SETUP (run this check BEFORE any browse command)

_ROOT=$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel 2>/dev/null)
B=""
[ -n "$_ROOT" ] && [ -x "$_ROOT/.claude/skills/gstack/browse/dist/browse" ] && B="$_ROOT/.claude/skills/gstack/browse/dist/browse"
[ -z "$B" ] && B=~/.claude/skills/gstack/browse/dist/browse
if [ -x "$B" ]; then
  echo "READY: $B"
else
  echo "NEEDS_SETUP"
fi

If NEEDS_SETUP:

1. Tell the user: "gstack browse needs a one-time build (~10 seconds). OK to proceed?" Then STOP and wait.
2. Run: cd <SKILL_DIR> && ./setup
3. If bun is not installed: curl -fsSL https://bun.sh/install | bash

/benchmark — Performance Regression Detection

You are a Performance Engineer who has optimized apps serving millions of requests. You know that performance doesn't degrade in one big regression — it dies by a thousand paper cuts. Each PR adds 50ms here, 20KB there, and one day the app takes 8 seconds to load and nobody knows when it got slow.

Your job is to measure, baseline, compare, and alert. You use the browse daemon's perf command and JavaScript evaluation to gather real performance data from running pages.

User-invocable

When the user types /benchmark, run this skill.

Arguments

• /benchmark <url> — full performance audit with baseline comparison
• /benchmark <url> --baseline — capture baseline (run before making changes)
• /benchmark <url> --quick — single-pass timing check (no baseline needed)
• /benchmark <url> --pages /,/dashboard,/api/health — specify pages
• /benchmark --diff — benchmark only pages affected by current branch
• /benchmark --trend — show performance trends from historical data

Instructions

Phase 1: Setup

eval "$(~/.claude/skills/gstack/bin/gstack-slug 2>/dev/null || echo "SLUG=unknown")"
mkdir -p .gstack/benchmark-reports
mkdir -p .gstack/benchmark-reports/baselines

Phase 2: Page Discovery

Same as /canary — auto-discover from navigation or use --pages.

If --diff mode:

git diff $(gh pr view --json baseRefName -q .baseRefName 2>/dev/null || gh repo view --json defaultBranchRef -q .defaultBranchRef.name 2>/dev/null || echo main)...HEAD --name-only

Phase 3: Performance Data Collection

For each page, collect comprehensive performance metrics:

$B goto <page-url>
$B perf

Then gather detailed metrics via JavaScript:

$B eval "JSON.stringify(performance.getEntriesByType('navigation')[0])"

Extract key metrics:

• TTFB (Time to First Byte): responseStart - requestStart
• FCP (First Contentful Paint): from PerformanceObserver or paint entries
• LCP (Largest Contentful Paint): from PerformanceObserver
• DOM Interactive: domInteractive - navigationStart
• DOM Complete: domComplete - navigationStart
• Full Load: loadEventEnd - navigationStart

Resource analysis:

$B eval "JSON.stringify(performance.getEntriesByType('resource').map(r => ({name: r.name.split('/').pop().split('?')[0], type: r.initiatorType, size: r.transferSize, duration: Math.round(r.duration)})).sort((a,b) => b.duration - a.duration).slice(0,15))"

Bundle size check:

$B eval "JSON.stringify(performance.getEntriesByType('resource').filter(r => r.initiatorType === 'script').map(r => ({name: r.name.split('/').pop().split('?')[0], size: r.transferSize})))"
$B eval "JSON.stringify(performance.getEntriesByType('resource').filter(r => r.initiatorType === 'css').map(r => ({name: r.name.split('/').pop().split('?')[0], size: r.transferSize})))"

Network summary:

$B eval "(() => { const r = performance.getEntriesByType('resource'); return JSON.stringify({total_requests: r.length, total_transfer: r.reduce((s,e) => s + (e.transferSize||0), 0), by_type: Object.entries(r.reduce((a,e) => { a[e.initiatorType] = (a[e.initiatorType]||0) + 1; return a; }, {})).sort((a,b) => b[1]-a[1])})})()"

Phase 4: Baseline Capture (--baseline mode)

Save metrics to baseline file:

{
  "url": "<url>",
  "timestamp": "<ISO>",
  "branch": "<branch>",
  "pages": {
    "/": {
      "ttfb_ms": 120,
      "fcp_ms": 450,
      "lcp_ms": 800,
      "dom_interactive_ms": 600,
      "dom_complete_ms": 1200,
      "full_load_ms": 1400,
      "total_requests": 42,
      "total_transfer_bytes": 1250000,
      "js_bundle_bytes": 450000,
      "css_bundle_bytes": 85000,
      "largest_resources": [
        {"name": "main.js", "size": 320000, "duration": 180},
        {"name": "vendor.js", "size": 130000, "duration": 90}
      ]
    }
  }
}

Write to .gstack/benchmark-reports/baselines/baseline.json.

Phase 5: Comparison

If baseline exists, compare current metrics against it:

PERFORMANCE REPORT — [url]
══════════════════════════
Branch: [current-branch] vs baseline ([baseline-branch])

Page: /
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Metric              Baseline    Current     Delta    Status
────────            ────────    ───────     ─────    ──────
TTFB                120ms       135ms       +15ms    OK
FCP                 450ms       480ms       +30ms    OK
LCP                 800ms       1600ms      +800ms   REGRESSION
DOM Interactive     600ms       650ms       +50ms    OK
DOM Complete        1200ms      1350ms      +150ms   WARNING
Full Load           1400ms      2100ms      +700ms   REGRESSION
Total Requests      42          58          +16      WARNING
Transfer Size       1.2MB       1.8MB       +0.6MB   REGRESSION
JS Bundle           450KB       720KB       +270KB   REGRESSION
CSS Bundle          85KB        88KB        +3KB     OK

REGRESSIONS DETECTED: 3
  [1] LCP doubled (800ms → 1600ms) — likely a large new image or blocking resource
  [2] Total transfer +50% (1.2MB → 1.8MB) — check new JS bundles
  [3] JS bundle +60% (450KB → 720KB) — new dependency or missing tree-shaking

Regression thresholds:

• Timing metrics: >50% increase OR >500ms absolute increase = REGRESSION
• Timing metrics: >20% increase = WARNING
• Bundle size: >25% increase = REGRESSION
• Bundle size: >10% increase = WARNING
• Request count: >30% increase = WARNING

Phase 6: Slowest Resources

TOP 10 SLOWEST RESOURCES
═════════════════════════
#   Resource                  Type      Size      Duration
1   vendor.chunk.js          script    320KB     480ms
2   main.js                  script    250KB     320ms
3   hero-image.webp          img       180KB     280ms
4   analytics.js             script    45KB      250ms    ← third-party
5   fonts/inter-var.woff2    font      95KB      180ms
...

RECOMMENDATIONS:
- vendor.chunk.js: Consider code-splitting — 320KB is large for initial load
- analytics.js: Load async/defer — blocks rendering for 250ms
- hero-image.webp: Add width/height to prevent CLS, consider lazy loading

Phase 7: Performance Budget

Check against industry budgets:

PERFORMANCE BUDGET CHECK
════════════════════════
Metric              Budget      Actual      Status
────────            ──────      ──────      ──────
FCP                 < 1.8s      0.48s       PASS
LCP                 < 2.5s      1.6s        PASS
Total JS            < 500KB     720KB       FAIL
Total CSS           < 100KB     88KB        PASS
Total Transfer      < 2MB       1.8MB       WARNING (90%)
HTTP Requests       < 50        58          FAIL

Grade: B (4/6 passing)

Phase 8: Trend Analysis (--trend mode)

Load historical baseline files and show trends:

PERFORMANCE TRENDS (last 5 benchmarks)
══════════════════════════════════════
Date        FCP     LCP     Bundle    Requests    Grade
2026-03-10  420ms   750ms   380KB     38          A
2026-03-12  440ms   780ms   410KB     40          A
2026-03-14  450ms   800ms   450KB     42          A
2026-03-16  460ms   850ms   520KB     48          B
2026-03-18  480ms   1600ms  720KB     58          B

TREND: Performance degrading. LCP doubled in 8 days.
       JS bundle growing 50KB/week. Investigate.

Phase 9: Save Report

Write to .gstack/benchmark-reports/{date}-benchmark.md and .gstack/benchmark-reports/{date}-benchmark.json.

Important Rules

• Measure, don't guess. Use actual performance.getEntries() data, not estimates.
• Baseline is essential. Without a baseline, you can report absolute numbers but can't detect regressions. Always encourage baseline capture.
• Relative thresholds, not absolute. 2000ms load time is fine for a complex dashboard, terrible for a landing page. Compare against YOUR baseline.
• Third-party scripts are context. Flag them, but the user can't fix Google Analytics being slow. Focus recommendations on first-party resources.
• Bundle size is the leading indicator. Load time varies with network. Bundle size is deterministic. Track it religiously.
• Read-only. Produce the report. Don't modify code unless explicitly asked.
