`@garrytan/gstack` — installer CLI

Interactive installer for gstack, Garry Tan's Claude Code skill pack and workflow tooling.

Usage

# Zero-friction: interactive wizard
npx @garrytan/gstack

# Scripted: verb-based subcommands
npx @garrytan/gstack install --host claude,codex
npx @garrytan/gstack init --tier required
npx @garrytan/gstack upgrade
npx @garrytan/gstack uninstall --project --yes
npx @garrytan/gstack doctor
npx @garrytan/gstack status
npx @garrytan/gstack list
npx @garrytan/gstack disable /qa
npx @garrytan/gstack enable /qa

Works with npx, bunx, and pnpm dlx.

What it does

install — clones gstack into ~/.claude/skills/gstack, builds the browse/design binaries via bun, registers with your chosen AI hosts (Claude Code, Codex, Factory Droid, OpenCode, Kiro), and inserts a  /  block into ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md documenting the available skills.

init — runs inside a git repo. Installs globally if needed, enables team mode (the SessionStart auto-update hook), runs gstack-team-init <tier> to bootstrap the repo, and stages/commits the changes. Teammates get gstack automatically on their next session.

uninstall — removes the install and walks every host's skills directory (~/.claude/skills, ~/.codex/skills, ~/.factory/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills, ~/.kiro/skills) removing any symlink or directory whose SKILL.md points into the gstack install. Cleans the CLAUDE.md block and scrubs the PreToolUse hook from project settings.json. ~/.gstack/ (session state) is preserved.

upgrade — git fetch + hard reset to origin/main in ~/.claude/skills/gstack, then re-runs ./setup --host auto to rebuild and re-link.

doctor — checks git, bun, install state, binary freshness, skill count, and per-host registration. Exit code 1 if any check fails.

status — one-screen summary: version, install path, team mode, auto-upgrade, skill prefix mode, per-host registration, per-project disabled-skills list.

list — enumerates installed skills with descriptions parsed from each SKILL.md frontmatter.

enable <skill> / disable <skill> — toggle skills per-project via .claude/settings.local.json's disabledSkills array. Names can be qa, /qa, or gstack-qa — all normalize to the same entry.

Requirements

Node.js 18+ (for the installer itself)
bun 1.0+ (for building gstack binaries)
git
bash (Windows: Git Bash or WSL)

Philosophy

The installer is a thin wrapper around gstack's existing ./setup bash script — no logic is duplicated. This keeps the installer small, auditable, and guaranteed to stay in sync with upstream. If setup learns a new flag, the installer picks it up by exposing a new option.

Development

cd installer
npm install
npm run build        # compile TS to dist/
npm start -- --help  # run the built CLI

# Watch mode
npm run dev

# Smoke test locally
npm link
gstack --help

To test without publishing:

# From anywhere, use the local checkout:
npx /absolute/path/to/gstack/installer install
