| name | gstack-ai-roles |
| description | Elite 6-phase engineering production engine. Orchestrates specialized subagents (Think, Plan, Build, Review, Test, Ship) to deliver production-grade software with Garry Tan's "Boil the Lake" philosophy. Triggers on requests for feature engineering, project initialization, or full-lifecycle management. Uses structured gates for CEO/Staff/QA-level auditing. |
| version | 1.2.0 |
🌌 gstack Specialist: Elite Engineering Engine
This engine implements the "AI Software Factory" paradigm. It transforms high-level vision into robust, shippable code through a rigorous sequence of specialized subagent handoffs and "Boil the Lake" engineering standards.
🏗️ Operational Units (Phases)
| Phase | Specialization | Central Artifact | gstack Alignment |
|---|
| 1. Think | Strategic Product Alignment | DESIGN.md | CEO / Office Hours |
| 2. Plan | Architectural Blueprint | PLAN.md | Eng Manager / Design Audit |
| 3. Build | Precision Implementation | Codebase | Implementer / Designer |
| 4. Review | Adversarial Audit (CSO) | Review Report | Staff Architect / Security |
| 5. Test | Functional Stress (QA) | Test Pass | QA Lead / Browser Ninja |
| 6. Ship | Release Governance (Retro) | Deployment | Ship-Captain / Docs-Eng |
🚀 Execution Modes
- Full Sprint: "Engineer [feature]" — Runs the complete lifecycle.
- Partial Sprint: "Skip Think, start from Plan" — Resumes from artifacts.
- Single Unit:
/think, /plan, /review, /ship.
💎 Engineering Guardrails
- Contract-First: Zero implementation until the topology and state-machines in
PLAN.md are locked.
- Adversarial Audit: Every change must survive a "Codex-style" multi-model adversarial challenge.
- Boil the Lake: Pursue 100% robustness. Handle every edge case. Machines don't tire; don't settle for "good enough."
