# Design System — gstack
## Product Context
- **What this is:** Community website for gstack — a CLI tool that turns Claude Code into a virtual engineering team
- **Who it's for:** Developers discovering gstack, existing community members
- **Space/industry:** Developer tools (peers: Linear, Raycast, Warp, Zed)
- **Project type:** Community dashboard + marketing site
## Aesthetic Direction
- **Direction:** Industrial/Utilitarian — function-first, data-dense, monospace as personality font
- **Decoration level:** Intentional — subtle noise/grain texture on surfaces for materiality
- **Mood:** Serious tool built by someone who cares about craft. Warm, not cold. The CLI heritage IS the brand.
- **Reference sites:** formulae.brew.sh (competitor, but ours is live and interactive), Linear (dark + restrained), Warp (warm accents)
## Typography
- **Display/Hero:** Satoshi (Black 900 / Bold 700) — geometric with warmth, distinctive letterforms (the lowercase 'a' and 'g'). Not Inter, not Geist. Loaded from Fontshare CDN.
- **Body:** DM Sans (Regular 400 / Medium 500 / Semibold 600) — clean, readable, slightly friendlier than geometric display. Loaded from Google Fonts.
- **UI/Labels:** DM Sans (same as body)
- **Data/Tables:** JetBrains Mono (Regular 400 / Medium 500) — the personality font. Supports tabular-nums. Monospace should be prominent, not hidden in code blocks. Loaded from Google Fonts.
- **Code:** JetBrains Mono
- **Loading:** Google Fonts for DM Sans + JetBrains Mono, Fontshare for Satoshi. Use `display=swap`.
- **Scale:**
- Hero: 72px / clamp(40px, 6vw, 72px)
- H1: 48px
- H2: 32px
- H3: 24px
- H4: 18px
- Body: 16px
- Small: 14px
- Caption: 13px
- Micro: 12px
- Nano: 11px (JetBrains Mono labels)
## Color
- **Approach:** Restrained — amber accent is rare and meaningful. Dashboard data gets the color; chrome stays neutral.
- **Primary (dark mode):** amber-500 #F59E0B — warm, energetic, reads as "terminal cursor"
- **Primary (light mode):** amber-600 #D97706 — darker for contrast against white backgrounds
- **Primary text accent (dark mode):** amber-400 #FBBF24
- **Primary text accent (light mode):** amber-700 #B45309
- **Neutrals:** Cool zinc grays
- zinc-50: #FAFAFA (lightest)
- zinc-400: #A1A1AA
- zinc-600: #52525B
- zinc-800: #27272A
- Surface (dark): #141414
- Base (dark): #0C0C0C
- Surface (light): #FFFFFF
- Base (light): #FAFAF9
- **Semantic:** success #22C55E, warning #F59E0B, error #EF4444, info #3B82F6
- **Dark mode:** Default. Near-black base (#0C0C0C), surface cards at #141414, borders at #262626.
- **Light mode:** Warm stone base (#FAFAF9), white surface cards, stone borders (#E7E5E4). Amber accent shifts to amber-600 for contrast.
## Spacing
- **Base unit:** 4px
- **Density:** Comfortable — not cramped (not Bloomberg Terminal), not spacious (not a marketing site)
- **Scale:** 2xs(2px) xs(4px) sm(8px) md(16px) lg(24px) xl(32px) 2xl(48px) 3xl(64px)
## Layout
- **Approach:** Grid-disciplined for dashboard, editorial hero for landing page
- **Grid:** 12 columns at lg+, 1 column at mobile
- **Max content width:** 1200px (6xl)
- **Border radius:** sm:4px, md:8px, lg:12px, full:9999px
- Cards/panels: lg (12px)
- Buttons/inputs: md (8px)
- Badges/pills: full (9999px)
- Skill bars: sm (4px)
## Motion
- **Approach:** Minimal-functional — only transitions that aid comprehension. The dashboard's live feed IS the motion.
- **Easing:** enter(ease-out / cubic-bezier(0.16,1,0.3,1)) exit(ease-in) move(ease-in-out)
- **Duration:** micro(50-100ms) short(150ms) medium(250ms) long(400ms)
- **Animated elements:** live feed dot pulse (2s infinite), skill bar fill (600ms ease-out), hover states (150ms)
## Grain Texture
Apply a subtle noise overlay to the entire page for materiality:
- Dark mode: opacity 0.03
- Light mode: opacity 0.02
- Use SVG feTurbulence filter as a CSS background-image on body::after
- pointer-events: none, position: fixed, z-index: 9999
## Decisions Log
| Date | Decision | Rationale |
|------|----------|-----------|
| 2026-03-21 | Initial design system | Created by /design-consultation. Industrial aesthetic, warm amber accent, Satoshi + DM Sans + JetBrains Mono. |
| 2026-03-21 | Light mode amber-600 | amber-500 too bright/washed against white; amber-700 too brown/umber. amber-600 is the sweet spot. |
| 2026-03-21 | Grain texture | Adds materiality to flat dark surfaces. Prevents the "generic SaaS template" sameness. |

## Step 12: Version bump (auto-decide)
The deterministic version-state logic is the tested **`gstack-version-bump`** CLI
(classify / write / repair). The bump-LEVEL decision and queue-collision handling
stay agent judgment; the slot pick stays `gstack-next-version`.
Use **`gstack-version-bump`** for classify/write/repair and `gstack-next-version`
for slot selection. Bump level and queue collisions remain agent decisions.

- **MINOR**: **ASK** if any feature signal (new route/page, migration, new module), OR 500+ lines. **MAJOR**: **ASK** — milestones or breaking changes only.
- **MINOR**: AskUserQuestion for any feature signal (new route/page, migration, new module), OR 500+ lines. **MAJOR**: AskUserQuestion for milestones or breaking changes. Offer the recommended level with rationale, a smaller level, or cancel; wait for the answer.

```bash
bun run ~/.claude/skills/gstack/bin/gstack-version-bump write --version "$NEW_VERSION" --regen-digest
```
The CLI validates the version pattern (4-digit `MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH.MICRO`; 3-digit for repos whose pinned version source uses plain semver) and writes VERSION, the manifest, and the manifest's npm lockfiles (`package-lock.json` / `npm-shrinkwrap.json`) when they already exist — never created. `--regen-digest` additionally reruns the repo's own `scripts/gen-agents-digest.ts` when BOTH that script and a committed `agents-digest/gstack-AGENTS.md` exist (the gstack repo — its digest embeds VERSION and is freshness-gated). Be clear about the trust envelope: in a repo that carries those two files this EXECUTES repo code; /ship accepts that deliberately because Step 5 already ran the same repo's test suite with the same privileges. Check the write output: `agentsDigest: false` means the regen failed — run `bun scripts/gen-agents-digest.ts` and stage the digest with the bump before continuing, or the freshness check stays red. The manifest is resolved as `--package-json-path` → `.gstack/package-json-path` → `./package.json`, so a repo whose only Node package lives in a subdirectory (`web/`, `app/`) is covered by a one-line pin instead of silently getting a VERSION-only bump. npm rejects 4-component versions, so the manifest and lockfiles carry the npm-valid 3-digit translation (`1.67.0.0` → `1.67.0`); VERSION stays the 4-digit source of truth and classify judges drift against the translated form. On a half-write it exits 3 — re-run, and classify will report DRIFT_STALE_PKG for `repair` to fix.
The CLI validates 4-digit `MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH.MICRO` (or 3-digit pinned semver), then writes VERSION, the manifest, and existing `package-lock.json` / `npm-shrinkwrap.json` files; it never creates lockfiles. Manifest resolution: `--package-json-path` → `.gstack/package-json-path` → `./package.json` (supports subdirectory packages). npm manifests/locks use the 3-digit translation (`1.67.0.0` → `1.67.0`); VERSION remains authoritative. Exit 3 means a half-write: reclassify and use `repair` for DRIFT_STALE_PKG.
5. **Record the release decision** (durable cross-session memory). The bump level is a real decision the next session should not re-derive blind:
`--regen-digest` executes repo code with the same privileges as Step 5: `scripts/gen-agents-digest.ts`, only when it and committed `agents-digest/gstack-AGENTS.md` both exist. Check `agentsDigest`: if false, run `bun scripts/gen-agents-digest.ts` and stage the digest with the bump before continuing. Its VERSION stamp is freshness-gated.
5. **Record the release decision** (skip if ALREADY_BUMPED):
```bash
~/.claude/skills/gstack/bin/gstack-decision-log '{"decision":"Ship NEW_VERSION (BUMP_LEVEL)","rationale":"WHY","scope":"repo","source":"skill","confidence":9}' 2>/dev/null || true
```
Substitute `NEW_VERSION`, `BUMP_LEVEL`, and a one-line `WHY` (the signal that set the level: diff scale, a new feature, a breaking change). Best-effort and non-interactive; never blocks the ship. Skip on the ALREADY_BUMPED path (the decision was logged on the run that did the bump).

```bash
bun run $GSTACK_ROOT/bin/gstack-version-bump write --version "$NEW_VERSION" --regen-digest
```
The CLI validates the version pattern (4-digit `MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH.MICRO`; 3-digit for repos whose pinned version source uses plain semver) and writes VERSION, the manifest, and the manifest's npm lockfiles (`package-lock.json` / `npm-shrinkwrap.json`) when they already exist — never created. `--regen-digest` additionally reruns the repo's own `scripts/gen-agents-digest.ts` when BOTH that script and a committed `agents-digest/gstack-AGENTS.md` exist (the gstack repo — its digest embeds VERSION and is freshness-gated). Be clear about the trust envelope: in a repo that carries those two files this EXECUTES repo code; /ship accepts that deliberately because Step 5 already ran the same repo's test suite with the same privileges. Check the write output: `agentsDigest: false` means the regen failed — run `bun scripts/gen-agents-digest.ts` and stage the digest with the bump before continuing, or the freshness check stays red. The manifest is resolved as `--package-json-path` → `.gstack/package-json-path` → `./package.json`, so a repo whose only Node package lives in a subdirectory (`web/`, `app/`) is covered by a one-line pin instead of silently getting a VERSION-only bump. npm rejects 4-component versions, so the manifest and lockfiles carry the npm-valid 3-digit translation (`1.67.0.0` → `1.67.0`); VERSION stays the 4-digit source of truth and classify judges drift against the translated form. On a half-write it exits 3 — re-run, and classify will report DRIFT_STALE_PKG for `repair` to fix.
The CLI validates 4-digit `MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH.MICRO` (or 3-digit pinned semver), then writes VERSION, the manifest, and existing `package-lock.json` / `npm-shrinkwrap.json` files; it never creates lockfiles. Manifest resolution: `--package-json-path` → `.gstack/package-json-path` → `./package.json` (supports subdirectory packages). npm manifests/locks use the 3-digit translation (`1.67.0.0` → `1.67.0`); VERSION remains authoritative. Exit 3 means a half-write: reclassify and use `repair` for DRIFT_STALE_PKG.
5. **Record the release decision** (durable cross-session memory). The bump level is a real decision the next session should not re-derive blind:
`--regen-digest` executes repo code with the same privileges as Step 5: `scripts/gen-agents-digest.ts`, only when it and committed `agents-digest/gstack-AGENTS.md` both exist. Check `agentsDigest`: if false, run `bun scripts/gen-agents-digest.ts` and stage the digest with the bump before continuing. Its VERSION stamp is freshness-gated.
5. **Record the release decision** (skip if ALREADY_BUMPED):
```bash
$GSTACK_ROOT/bin/gstack-decision-log '{"decision":"Ship NEW_VERSION (BUMP_LEVEL)","rationale":"WHY","scope":"repo","source":"skill","confidence":9}' 2>/dev/null || true

**Always update the PR title to start with `v$NEW_VERSION`.** PR titles use the workspace-aware format `v<NEW_VERSION> <type>: <summary>` — version ALWAYS first, no exceptions, no "custom title kept intentionally" escape hatch.

2. Compute the corrected title: `NEW_TITLE=$($GSTACK_ROOT/bin/gstack-pr-title-rewrite.sh "$NEW_VERSION" "$CURRENT")`. The helper handles three cases: title already correct (no-op), title has a different `v<X.Y.Z.W>` prefix (replace it), or title has no version prefix (prepend one).
3. If `NEW_TITLE` differs from `CURRENT`, run `gh pr edit --title "$NEW_TITLE"` (or `glab mr update -t "$NEW_TITLE"`).
4. **Self-check:** re-fetch the title and assert it starts with `v$NEW_VERSION `. If it does not, retry the edit once. If still wrong, surface the failure to the user.
This keeps the title truthful when Step 12's queue-drift detection rebumps a stale version, and forces the format on PRs that were created without it.

```bash
bun run $GSTACK_ROOT/bin/gstack-version-bump write --version "$NEW_VERSION" --regen-digest
```
The CLI validates the version pattern (4-digit `MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH.MICRO`; 3-digit for repos whose pinned version source uses plain semver) and writes VERSION, the manifest, and the manifest's npm lockfiles (`package-lock.json` / `npm-shrinkwrap.json`) when they already exist — never created. `--regen-digest` additionally reruns the repo's own `scripts/gen-agents-digest.ts` when BOTH that script and a committed `agents-digest/gstack-AGENTS.md` exist (the gstack repo — its digest embeds VERSION and is freshness-gated). Be clear about the trust envelope: in a repo that carries those two files this EXECUTES repo code; /ship accepts that deliberately because Step 5 already ran the same repo's test suite with the same privileges. Check the write output: `agentsDigest: false` means the regen failed — run `bun scripts/gen-agents-digest.ts` and stage the digest with the bump before continuing, or the freshness check stays red. The manifest is resolved as `--package-json-path` → `.gstack/package-json-path` → `./package.json`, so a repo whose only Node package lives in a subdirectory (`web/`, `app/`) is covered by a one-line pin instead of silently getting a VERSION-only bump. npm rejects 4-component versions, so the manifest and lockfiles carry the npm-valid 3-digit translation (`1.67.0.0` → `1.67.0`); VERSION stays the 4-digit source of truth and classify judges drift against the translated form. On a half-write it exits 3 — re-run, and classify will report DRIFT_STALE_PKG for `repair` to fix.
The CLI validates 4-digit `MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH.MICRO` (or 3-digit pinned semver), then writes VERSION, the manifest, and existing `package-lock.json` / `npm-shrinkwrap.json` files; it never creates lockfiles. Manifest resolution: `--package-json-path` → `.gstack/package-json-path` → `./package.json` (supports subdirectory packages). npm manifests/locks use the 3-digit translation (`1.67.0.0` → `1.67.0`); VERSION remains authoritative. Exit 3 means a half-write: reclassify and use `repair` for DRIFT_STALE_PKG.
5. **Record the release decision** (durable cross-session memory). The bump level is a real decision the next session should not re-derive blind:
`--regen-digest` executes repo code with the same privileges as Step 5: `scripts/gen-agents-digest.ts`, only when it and committed `agents-digest/gstack-AGENTS.md` both exist. Check `agentsDigest`: if false, run `bun scripts/gen-agents-digest.ts` and stage the digest with the bump before continuing. Its VERSION stamp is freshness-gated.
5. **Record the release decision** (skip if ALREADY_BUMPED):
```bash
$GSTACK_ROOT/bin/gstack-decision-log '{"decision":"Ship NEW_VERSION (BUMP_LEVEL)","rationale":"WHY","scope":"repo","source":"skill","confidence":9}' 2>/dev/null || true

Substitute `NEW_VERSION`, `BUMP_LEVEL`, and a one-line `WHY` (the signal that set the level: diff scale, a new feature, a breaking change). Best-effort and non-interactive; never blocks the ship. Skip on the ALREADY_BUMPED path (the decision was logged on the run that did the bump).

Never reuse stale PR body content from a prior run. **Run the same redaction scan-at-sink (PR body + title) as the create path (Step 19) before editing — scan the temp file, then `gh pr edit --body-file` from it.**

**REST fallback (#1079):** on some repos `gh pr edit` hard-errors with a GraphQL deprecation mentioning `repository.pullRequest.projectCards` ("Projects (classic) is being deprecated..."). That is a `gh` GraphQL-path problem, not a permissions problem — do not re-ask for auth. Fall back to the REST endpoint, which never touches the deprecated field, using the SAME already-scanned temp file: `PR_NUMBER=$(gh pr view --json number -q .number)` then `gh api "repos/{owner}/{repo}/pulls/$PR_NUMBER" -X PATCH -F body=@"$PR_BODY_FILE"` for the body, and `gh api "repos/{owner}/{repo}/pulls/$PR_NUMBER" -X PATCH -f title="$NEW_TITLE"` when the title edit below hits the same error. Verify with the same self-checks as the primary path.
**Always update the PR title to start with `v$NEW_VERSION`.** PR titles use the workspace-aware format `v<NEW_VERSION> <type>: <summary>` — version ALWAYS first, no exceptions, no "custom title kept intentionally" escape hatch. The shared helper `bin/gstack-pr-title-rewrite.sh` is the single source of truth for the rule.
1. Read the current title: `CURRENT=$(gh pr view --json title -q .title)` (or `glab mr view -F json | jq -r .title`).
2. Compute the corrected title: `NEW_TITLE=$($GSTACK_ROOT/bin/gstack-pr-title-rewrite.sh "$NEW_VERSION" "$CURRENT")`. The helper handles three cases: title already correct (no-op), title has a different `v<X.Y.Z.W>` prefix (replace it), or title has no version prefix (prepend one).
3. If `NEW_TITLE` differs from `CURRENT`, run `gh pr edit --title "$NEW_TITLE"` (or `glab mr update -t "$NEW_TITLE"`).
4. **Self-check:** re-fetch the title and assert it starts with `v$NEW_VERSION `. If it does not, retry the edit once. If still wrong, surface the failure to the user.
This keeps the title truthful when Step 12's queue-drift detection rebumps a stale version, and forces the format on PRs that were created without it.

The 11px floor holds even inside a footer; only non-interactive legal smallprint gets the softer 10px floor. Being ON the DESIGN.md size ramp does not exempt a value here: adding 8px to the ramp launders the token but not the legibility problem, and that is exactly the escape hatch this rule closes.

Usage: impeccable detect [options] [file-or-dir-or-url...]
Scan files or URLs for UI anti-patterns and design quality issues.
Options:
--json Output results as JSON
--quiet In text mode, only print the final findings count
--scope <name> Only report rules in the given design domain
(type, layout). Comma-separated.
--viewport <WxH> Browser viewport for URL scans (default 1280x800),
e.g. --viewport 390x844 for a mobile-width pass
--no-config Do not apply project config, detector ignores, inline
ignore comments, or DESIGN.md
--no-inline-ignores Do not honor in-file impeccable-disable* ignore comments
--no-design-system Do not load local DESIGN.md / .impeccable/design.json context
--no-advisory Suppress advisory findings entirely (e.g. em-dash overuse)
--help Show this help message
Advisory findings:
Some rules are advisory: detected and listed in a separate section, but never
counted as failures and never changing the exit code. They stay out of the
failure count so they never block automation. --no-advisory hides them.
Output streams:
Human-readable findings go to stderr so stdout stays available for structured
output. Use --json for JSON on stdout, or redirect text with 2> findings.txt.
Exit status:
0 Scan completed with no primary findings (advisories may still be listed)
1 At least one requested target could not be scanned
2 Scan completed with primary findings
Operational failure takes precedence when a multi-target scan is partial.
Project config:
Respects .impeccable/config.json and .impeccable/config.local.json detector
settings: detector.ignoreRules, detector.ignoreFiles, detector.ignoreValues,
and detector.designSystem.enabled.
Inline ignores:
In-file comments waive a finding where it lives and travel with the file:
<!-- impeccable-disable overused-font -- exported brand doc -->
.brand { font-family: Inter } /* impeccable-disable-line overused-font */
// impeccable-disable-next-line bounce-easing: intentional bounce
impeccable-disable applies to the whole file; -line / -next-line are scoped.
List one or more rule ids (comma-separated), or omit them / use * for all.
Detection modes:
HTML files Static HTML/CSS analysis (default, catches linked CSS)
Non-HTML files Regex pattern matching (CSS, JSX, TSX, etc.)
URLs Puppeteer full browser rendering (auto-detected;
http(s):// and file:// URLs; accessible linked CSS included)
Examples:
impeccable detect src/
impeccable detect index.html
impeccable detect https://example.com
impeccable detect --json .
impeccable detect --no-config src/
