Gstack is the Claude Code workflow framework built by Y Combinator CEO Garry Tan — not more prompts, but a way to put AI in the right cognitive mode. This series walks you through everything from installation to real-world development scenarios in six posts.
When you let Claude handle product decisions, architecture design, and code review all in the same conversation — everything comes out mediocre. Gstack's core concept: give AI the right cognitive mode, not a universal prompt.
From GitHub clone to your first slash command, Gstack installation is more straightforward than you'd expect. This post includes the full commands, solutions to common issues, and the three things you should do first after installing.
Gstack's /plan-ceo-review and /plan-eng-review are the two highest-ROI skills in the entire framework. One asks 'should we build this,' the other asks 'how do we build it right' — use them separately to get the most out of each.
Gstack's /review isn't looking for typos — it's looking for the problems that pass CI but explode in production. /ship compresses sync, test, push, and PR into one command. This post explains what each one checks and how to combine them.
Most AI assistants stop after writing code — they can't see what your app looks like when it runs. Gstack's /qa and /browse change that: persistent Chromium, 100-200ms command latency, diff-aware testing, and a 0-100 health score.
Connect all the Gstack skills from the previous five posts with a real scenario: starting from /plan-ceo-review and running all the way through to /ship. One person, nine roles, one repeatable development rhythm.
