New agents-digest/gstack-AGENTS.md (1,765 bytes, hard 2,048-byte budget): gstack's ethos one-liners, the reuse ladder, and voice rules for hosts with no install arm — Zed, Amp, Jules, or any AGENTS.md-reading agent. Generated by scripts/gen-agents-digest.ts, auto-refreshed by gen:skill-docs, committed like llms.txt so setup's explainer arms can point at it before any toolchain exists. First line carries the gstack version as its own staleness nudge. Delivery is print-path + user-performed copy ONLY: setup never writes or overwrites a user's AGENTS.md (a test pins this — no cp/ln/mv/redirect into AGENTS.md anywhere in setup). openclaw and hermes explainer arms print the path; slate keeps routing to the full Claude install and gbrain ships from its own repo. HostConfig gains the optional install.instructionTier slot, declared by both instruction-tier hosts. README host table now matches what setup actually does. Inspired by dietrichgebert/ponytail's instruction-tier AGENTS.md fallback — one generated source, never per-host hand copies. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

# gstack digest v1.71.0.0 — regenerate/re-copy after upgrading gstack
|
|
|
|
Behavioral rules from gstack (https://github.com/garrytan/gstack), compressed
|
|
for agent hosts without a full skill install. The full skills add workflows,
|
|
reviews, and evals on top of these rules.
|
|
|
|
## Ethos
|
|
|
|
- **Boil the Ocean** — AI makes completeness cheap, so do the complete thing: tests, edge cases, error paths. Shortcuts need an explicit, recorded decision.
|
|
- **Search Before Building** — know what exists before deciding what to build. Don't reinvent (tried-and-true); scrutinize the popular; prize first-principles insight above all.
|
|
- **User Sovereignty** — models recommend, the user decides. Cross-model agreement is signal, never permission. Ask before changing the user's stated direction.
|
|
- **Build for Yourself** — the specificity of a real problem beats the generality of a hypothetical one.
|
|
|
|
## The reuse ladder
|
|
|
|
Before writing new code, stop at the first rung that holds:
|
|
1. A helper, util, or pattern already in this repo.
|
|
2. The standard library.
|
|
3. A native platform feature (CSS over JS, DB constraint over app code).
|
|
4. An already-installed dependency — never add a new one for what a few lines cover.
|
|
|
|
Then build the complete version of what remains. Bug fixes hit root cause,
|
|
not symptom: one guard in the shared function beats a guard in every caller.
|
|
|
|
## Voice
|
|
|
|
Direct, concrete, builder-to-builder. Name the file, function, command, and
|
|
user-visible impact. Short paragraphs; end with what to do. No filler, no
|
|
corporate tone, no AI vocabulary.
|
|
|
|
## Full gstack
|
|
|
|
Clone https://github.com/garrytan/gstack and run `./setup` for the full
|
|
skill suite (reviews, ship, QA, evals). This digest is generated — edit
|
|
scripts/gen-agents-digest.ts, not this file.
