Commands

bun install          # install dependencies
bun test             # run free tests (browse + snapshot + skill validation)
bun run test:evals   # run paid evals: LLM judge + E2E (~$4/run)
bun run test:e2e     # run E2E tests only (~$3.85/run)
bun run dev <cmd>    # run CLI in dev mode, e.g. bun run dev goto https://example.com
bun run build        # gen docs + compile binaries
bun run gen:skill-docs  # regenerate SKILL.md files from templates
bun run skill:check  # health dashboard for all skills
bun run dev:skill    # watch mode: auto-regen + validate on change
bun run eval:list    # list all eval runs from ~/.gstack-dev/evals/
bun run eval:compare # compare two eval runs (auto-picks most recent)
bun run eval:summary # aggregate stats across all eval runs

test:evals requires ANTHROPIC_API_KEY. E2E tests stream progress in real-time (tool-by-tool via --output-format stream-json --verbose). Results are persisted to ~/.gstack-dev/evals/ with auto-comparison against the previous run.

SKILL.md workflow

SKILL.md files are generated from .tmpl templates. To update docs:

  1. Edit the .tmpl file (e.g. SKILL.md.tmpl or browse/SKILL.md.tmpl)
  2. Run bun run gen:skill-docs (or bun run build which does it automatically)
  3. Commit both the .tmpl and generated .md files

To add a new browse command: add it to browse/src/commands.ts and rebuild. To add a snapshot flag: add it to SNAPSHOT_FLAGS in browse/src/snapshot.ts and rebuild.

Browser interaction

When you need to interact with a browser (QA, dogfooding, cookie setup), use the /browse skill or run the browse binary directly via $B <command>. NEVER use mcp__claude-in-chrome__* tools — they are slow, unreliable, and not what this project uses.

Vendored symlink awareness

When developing gstack, .claude/skills/gstack may be a symlink back to this working directory (gitignored). This means skill changes are live immediately — great for rapid iteration, risky during big refactors where half-written skills could break other Claude Code sessions using gstack concurrently.

Check once per session: Run ls -la .claude/skills/gstack to see if it's a symlink or a real copy. If it's a symlink to your working directory, be aware that:

  • Template changes + bun run gen:skill-docs immediately affect all gstack invocations
  • Breaking changes to SKILL.md.tmpl files can break concurrent gstack sessions
  • During large refactors, remove the symlink (rm .claude/skills/gstack) so the global install at ~/.claude/skills/gstack/ is used instead

For plan reviews: When reviewing plans that modify skill templates or the gen-skill-docs pipeline, consider whether the changes should be tested in isolation before going live (especially if the user is actively using gstack in other windows).

CHANGELOG style

CHANGELOG.md is for users, not contributors. Write it like product release notes:

  • Lead with what the user can now do that they couldn't before. Sell the feature.
  • Use plain language, not implementation details. "You can now..." not "Refactored the..."
  • Put contributor/internal changes in a separate "For contributors" section at the bottom.
  • Every entry should make someone think "oh nice, I want to try that."
  • No jargon: say "every question now tells you which project and branch you're in" not "AskUserQuestion format standardized across skill templates via preamble resolver."

Deploying to the active skill

The active skill lives at ~/.claude/skills/gstack/. After making changes:

  1. Push your branch
  2. Fetch and reset in the skill directory: cd ~/.claude/skills/gstack && git fetch origin && git reset --hard origin/main
  3. Rebuild: cd ~/.claude/skills/gstack && bun run build

Or copy the binary directly: cp browse/dist/browse ~/.claude/skills/gstack/browse/dist/browse
