# gstack
|

|

Hi, I'm [Garry Tan](https://x.com/garrytan). I'm President & CEO of [Y Combinator](https://www.ycombinator.com/), where I've worked with thousands of startups including Coinbase, Instacart, and Rippling when the founders were just one or two people in a garage — companies now worth tens of billions of dollars. Before YC, I designed the Palantir logo and was one of the first eng manager/PM/designers there. I cofounded Posterous, a blog platform we sold to Twitter. I built Bookface, YC's internal social network, back in 2013. I've been building products as a designer, PM, and eng manager for a long time.

> "I don't think I've typed like a line of code probably since December, basically, which is an extremely large change." — [Andrej Karpathy](https://fortune.com/2026/03/21/andrej-karpathy-openai-cofounder-ai-agents-coding-state-of-psychosis-openclaw/), No Priors podcast, March 2026
|
||||
|
||||
And right now I am in the middle of something that feels like a new era entirely.
|
||||
When I heard Karpathy say this, I wanted to find out how. How does one person ship like a team of twenty? Peter Steinberger built [OpenClaw](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw) — 247K GitHub stars — essentially solo with AI agents. The revolution is here. A single builder with the right tooling can move faster than a traditional team.
|
||||
|
||||
In the last 60 days I have written **over 600,000 lines of production code** — 35% tests — and I am doing **10,000 to 20,000 usable lines of code per day** as a part-time part of my day while doing all my duties as CEO of YC. That is not a typo. My last `/retro` (developer stats from the last 7 days) across 3 projects: **140,751 lines added, 362 commits, ~115k net LOC**. The models are getting dramatically better every week. We are at the dawn of something real — one person shipping at a scale that used to require a team of twenty.

Real files get committed to your repo (not a submodule), so `git clone` just works. Everything lives inside `.claude/`. Nothing touches your PATH or runs in the background.

||||

|

|
||||
|
||||
### Codex, Gemini CLI, or Cursor
|
||||
|
||||
gstack works on any agent that supports the [SKILL.md standard](https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code). Skills live in `.agents/skills/` and are discovered automatically.
|
||||
|
||||
Install to one repo:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
git clone https://github.com/garrytan/gstack.git ~/.codex/skills/gstack
|
||||
cd ~/.codex/skills/gstack && ./setup --host codex
|
||||
git clone --single-branch --depth 1 https://github.com/garrytan/gstack.git .agents/skills/gstack
|
||||
cd .agents/skills/gstack && ./setup --host codex
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
When setup runs from `.agents/skills/gstack`, it installs the generated Codex skills next to it in the same repo and does not write to `~/.codex/skills`.
|
||||
|
||||
Install once for your user account:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
git clone --single-branch --depth 1 https://github.com/garrytan/gstack.git ~/gstack
|
||||
cd ~/gstack && ./setup --host codex
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
`setup --host codex` creates the runtime root at `~/.codex/skills/gstack` and
|
||||
links the generated Codex skills at the top level. This avoids duplicate skill
|
||||
discovery from the source repo checkout.
|
||||
|
||||
Or let setup auto-detect which agents you have installed:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
git clone https://github.com/garrytan/gstack.git ~/gstack
|
||||
git clone --single-branch --depth 1 https://github.com/garrytan/gstack.git ~/gstack
|
||||
cd ~/gstack && ./setup --host auto
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This installs to `~/.claude/skills/gstack` and/or `~/.codex/skills/gstack` depending on what's available. All 25 skills work across all supported agents. Hook-based safety skills (careful, freeze, guard) use inline safety advisory prose on non-Claude hosts.
|
||||
For Codex-compatible hosts, setup now supports both repo-local installs from `.agents/skills/gstack` and user-global installs from `~/.codex/skills/gstack`. All 29 skills work across all supported agents. Hook-based safety skills (careful, freeze, guard) use inline safety advisory prose on non-Claude hosts.
|
||||
|
||||
### Factory Droid
|
||||
|
||||
gstack works with [Factory Droid](https://factory.ai). Skills install to `.factory/skills/` and are discovered automatically. Sensitive skills (ship, land-and-deploy, guard) use `disable-model-invocation: true` so Droids don't auto-invoke them.
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
git clone --single-branch --depth 1 https://github.com/garrytan/gstack.git ~/gstack
|
||||
cd ~/gstack && ./setup --host factory
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Skills install to `~/.factory/skills/gstack-*/`. Restart `droid` to rescan skills, then type `/qa` to get started.

gstack is a process, not a collection of tools. The skills run in the order a sprint runs:
|
||||
|
||||
**Think → Plan → Build → Review → Test → Ship → Reflect**
|
||||
|
||||
Each skill feeds into the next. `/office-hours` writes a design doc that `/plan-ceo-review` reads. `/plan-eng-review` writes a test plan that `/qa` picks up. `/review` catches bugs that `/ship` verifies are fixed. Nothing falls through the cracks because every step knows what came before it.
|
||||
|
||||
One sprint, one person, one feature — that takes about 30 minutes with gstack. But here's what changes everything: you can run 10-15 of these sprints in parallel. Different features, different branches, different agents — all at the same time. That is how I ship 10,000+ lines of production code per day while doing my actual job.

**`/office-hours` reframes your product before you write code.** You say "daily briefing app." It listens to your actual pain, pushes back on the framing, tells you you're really building a personal chief of staff AI, challenges your premises, and generates three implementation approaches with effort estimates. The design doc it writes feeds directly into `/plan-ceo-review` and `/plan-eng-review` — so every downstream skill starts with real clarity instead of a vague feature request.
|
||||
gstack works well with one sprint. It gets interesting with ten running at once.
|
||||
|
||||
**Design is at the heart.** `/design-consultation` doesn't just pick fonts. It researches what's out there in your space, proposes safe choices AND creative risks, generates realistic mockups of your actual product, and writes `DESIGN.md` — and then `/design-review` and `/plan-eng-review` read what you chose. Design decisions flow through the whole system.

@@ -174,10 +205,14 @@ One sprint, one person, one feature — that takes about 30 minutes with gstack.
|
||||
|
||||
**Test everything.** `/ship` bootstraps test frameworks from scratch if your project doesn't have one. Every `/ship` run produces a coverage audit. Every `/qa` bug fix generates a regression test. 100% test coverage is the goal — tests make vibe coding safe instead of yolo coding.
|
||||
|
||||
**Ship to production in one command.** `/land-and-deploy` picks up where `/ship` left off — merges your PR, waits for CI and deploy, then runs canary verification on your production URL. Auto-detects Fly.io, Render, Vercel, Netlify, Heroku, or GitHub Actions. If something breaks, it offers a revert. Pair with `/canary` for extended post-deploy monitoring and `/benchmark` to catch performance regressions before they ship.
|
||||
|
||||
**`/document-release` is the engineer you never had.** It reads every doc file in your project, cross-references the diff, and updates everything that drifted. README, ARCHITECTURE, CONTRIBUTING, CLAUDE.md, TODOS — all kept current automatically. And now `/ship` auto-invokes it — docs stay current without an extra command.
|
||||
|
||||
**Real browser mode.** `$B connect` launches your actual Chrome as a headed window controlled by Playwright. You watch Claude click, fill, and navigate in real time — same window, same screen. A subtle green shimmer at the top edge tells you which Chrome window gstack controls. All existing browse commands work unchanged. `$B disconnect` returns to headless. A Chrome extension Side Panel shows a live activity feed of every command and a chat sidebar where you can direct Claude. This is co-presence — Claude isn't remote-controlling a hidden browser, it's sitting next to you in the same cockpit.
|
||||
|
||||
**Sidebar agent — your AI browser assistant.** Type natural language instructions in the Chrome side panel and a child Claude instance executes them. "Navigate to the settings page and screenshot it." "Fill out this form with test data." "Go through every item in this list and extract the prices." Each task gets up to 5 minutes. The sidebar agent runs in an isolated session, so it won't interfere with your main Claude Code window. It's like having a second pair of hands in the browser.
|
||||
|
||||
**Personal automation.** The sidebar agent isn't just for dev workflows. Example: "Browse my kid's school parent portal and add all the other parents' names, phone numbers, and photos to my Google Contacts." Two ways to get authenticated: (1) log in once in the headed browser — your session persists, or (2) run `/setup-browser-cookies` to import cookies from your real Chrome. Once authenticated, Claude navigates the directory, extracts the data, and creates the contacts.

**Browser handoff when the AI gets stuck.** Hit a CAPTCHA, auth wall, or MFA prompt? `$B handoff` opens a visible Chrome at the exact same page with all your cookies and tabs intact. Solve the problem, tell Claude you're done, `$B resume` picks up right where it left off. The agent even suggests it automatically after 3 consecutive failures.

**Multi-AI second opinion.** `/codex` gets an independent review from OpenAI's Codex CLI — a completely different AI looking at the same diff. Three modes: code review with a pass/fail gate, adversarial challenge that actively tries to break your code, and open consultation with session continuity. When both `/review` (Claude) and `/codex` (OpenAI) have reviewed the same branch, you get a cross-model analysis showing which findings overlap and which are unique to each.

Same tools, different outcome — because gstack gives you structured roles and review gates, not generic agent chaos. That governance is the difference between shipping fast and shipping reckless.

The models are getting better fast. The people who figure out how to work with them now — really work with them, not just dabble — are going to have a massive advantage. This is that window. Let's go.

**Windows users:** gstack works on Windows 11 via Git Bash or WSL.
