Review-first install path

This asset needs a review step. The copied prompt tells the agent to dry-run, show the writes, then proceed only after confirmation.

Quantitative notes

  • 23 roles/skills
  • Setup time ~7 minutes

Deep Dive

What it solves

Use this when you need a repeatable, team-shareable workflow instead of one-off agent prompts. The goal is to make installation, first-run validation, and rollback predictable.

Minimal mental model

  • Treat the GitHub repo as the source of truth: install instructions, configs, and upgrade paths live there.
  • Keep your first run small: one command, one verification, one rollback plan.
  • Capture a baseline: setup time, first successful run, and one real task completed end-to-end.

Safe rollout checklist

  1. Verify source: confirm repo URL, stars, and license match what you expect.
  2. Install using the Quick Use commands above.
  3. Prove it works with the verification command; save the output in a note or issue.
  4. Operationalize: document owner, upgrade command, and rollback command.

Troubleshooting (common)

  • Install succeeds but nothing shows up

    • Likely cause: the tool needs a restart/reload (CLI/IDE) or a config file in the right path.
    • Fix: restart the client, then re-run the verification step.
  • Works on one machine, fails on another

    • Likely cause: Node/Python/Docker versions differ or missing system dependencies.
    • Fix: pin versions (Node/Python), and copy a minimal known-good config.
  • Token cost or latency is worse than expected

    • Likely cause: tool schemas or verbose outputs get injected into context.
    • Fix: prefer smaller steps, cache results, and keep tool responses concise when possible.

FAQ

Q: Is this only for Claude Code? A: The repo includes setup guidance for multiple agents, but the fastest path is Claude Code + the slash commands shipped by gstack.

Q: What is the safest way to adopt it in a team? A: Start in a sandbox repo, then use the repo's team mode so teammates get consistent skills without manual copy/paste drift.

Q: How do I measure if it helped? A: Track setup time, number of review cycles saved, and whether /review + /qa reduces regressions over 1–2 weeks.
