* feat(aside): browser-driver contract, cookbook, research and fallback resolvers
{{ASIDE_SETUP}} (readiness probe + ten rules for driving the user's real browser), {{ASIDE_COOKBOOK}} (script shapes verified live against Aside CLI 1.26: one flow per aside repl script, CDP console hook before navigation, evidence lines, session-directory artifact handoff, GSTACK_STEP_OK sentinel), {{ASIDE_RESEARCH}} (research through aside exec, WebSearch when Aside is absent, knowledge otherwise) and {{BROWSE_FALLBACK}} (the fifteen-row Aside-step to $B-command table plus the rules that differ, so every browsing skill keeps working on gstack's own headless browser). test/aside-driver.test.ts pins the sentences and asserts every browsing skill carries the Aside block followed by the fallback; test/helpers/aside-available.ts is the shared live-Aside probe.

* feat(render): Aside-first local-HTML renderer with the bundled browser as fallback
lib/aside-render.ts serves the HTML's directory on loopback (Aside refuses file:// URLs), opens it with waitUntil load, prints through CDP Page.printToPDF so tagged output, outlines, header/footer templates and page numbers survive, emulates device metrics for sized screenshots, and writes in-page evaluations to files; when Aside is absent it runs the same spec through the browse daemon (newtab, load, js, pdf, screenshot, closetab) and reports ENGINE=aside|browse. bin/gstack-render.ts is the CLI skill templates call. lib/claude-bin.ts and lib/error-handling.ts become the canonical copies (browse/src re-exports them).

* refactor(browse): /browse drives Aside first, with the $B reference behind the fallback
Contract, cookbook, mode choice (aside repl by default, aside exec for reading), report format, the fallback section, and the full command reference carved on demand.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* refactor(qa): /qa and /qa-only drive Aside, fall back to $B
QA_METHODOLOGY runs every phase as Aside scripts (orient, explore, document, re-test, mobile viewport via CDP emulation, links via HEAD fetch); the authenticate phase is 'you are already signed in'; a 13th rule requires consent before mutating actions on non-local targets; the fallback section translates each step onto $B. The qa E2E tests run on whichever engine is present.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* refactor(design): design-review, design-consultation, design-shotgun, plan-design-review, design-html drive Aside
Design-system extraction is one script printing FONTS/COLORS/HEADINGS/TOUCH_TARGETS/NAV; competitor research confirms the exact URLs before opening them in the real browser and runs on the bundled browser when Aside is absent; design-html's viewport screenshots, sketches and comparison boards render through gstack-render.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* refactor(deploy): benchmark, canary, land-and-deploy Step 7, devex-review drive Aside
One aside repl script per page prints NAV/PAINT/LCP/RESOURCES/SCRIPTS/CSS/SUMMARY (benchmark), CONSOLE_ERRORS/NAV/TEXT + screenshot (canary, re-run every 60s), and the post-deploy check reads responseStatus from the navigation entry; each carries the $B fallback.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* feat(third-party-actions): Aside is the recommended driver; gstack's visible browser stays the fallback
The readiness probe is lifted from {{ASIDE_SETUP}} at gen time (byte-identity pinned) and rule 3 points at browse/SKILL.md for how to drive; the consent question offers Aside first and gstack's own visible browser (handoff/resume for sign-in) as the fallback, as v1.72 framed it.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* refactor(scrape): /scrape reads pages through Aside; the browser-skills runtime rides the fallback
Look-then-extract scripts build the JSON inside the page and print it between JSON_START/JSON_END; aside exec for fuzzy intents; on the $B fallback the browser-skills match/prototype flow and /skillify apply as before.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* refactor(make-pdf): print through Aside first, the bundled browser otherwise
asideClient.ts replaces the direct $B client with one render() call per PDF (the exact option mapping the browse pdf command had: paper, margins, header/footer/page numbers, tagged, outline, printBackground, preferCSSPageSize, Paged.js wait); the diagram pre-pass, oversized-image downscale and DOCX rasters each run as one render script with per-fence try/catch; exit 4 now means no browser is available and names both remedies; $P setup reports which engine it found. The e2e gates run on whichever engine is present, so the Linux lane exercises the fallback.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* refactor(diagram): the triplet is one gstack-render call
SVG, PNG and excalidraw from one invocation over the content-addressed bundle staged under /tmp/gstack-render; every diagram type gets an excalidraw export; gstack-render picks the engine and prints ENGINE=; the diagram E2E gates on either engine.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* feat(research): web research runs in Aside first, WebSearch second
The planning, review, design, security and investigate skills research through {{ASIDE_RESEARCH}}; WebSearch stays in allowed-tools as the fallback; testing.ts's bootstrap step follows; skeleton ceilings ratcheted for the research block.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* feat(setup,gen-skill-docs): prune renders of skills that no longer exist
setup gains _prune_stale_generated for every host tree and the doc generator removes gstack-* output dirs it did not write, so a skill removed from the source tree can never linger in an install.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* test: registries, budgets and suite reconciled for Aside-first with the $B fallback
Touchfiles + E2E tiers gain the Aside keys, coverage matrix and eval baselines updated, size budget re-baselined to parity-baseline-v1.80.0.0.json (the contract plus fallback ride in every browsing skill), parity ceilings ratcheted with measured values, LLM-judge prompts and the E2E fixtures speak Aside-first, browse-fallback.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* docs: Aside first, gstack browser fallback
README, BROWSER.md, docs/, CONTRIBUTING, CLAUDE.md, ARCHITECTURE, AGENTS.md, TODOS and the root router describe the one product story: Aside is the browser gstack drives first; the bundled headless browser is the automatic fallback (Linux, Windows, app closed) where cookie import, GStack Browser, pair-agent and browser-skills still apply.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* chore: regenerate SKILL.md docs, llms.txt, agents digest, ship goldens, context-budget fixture
bun run gen:skill-docs over the templates; goldens re-rendered; context-budget ceilings recaptured.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* v1.80.0.0: Aside is the browser gstack drives first; the bundled browser is the fallback
MINOR: new capability across ten skills, the renderer and research; nothing removed. CHANGELOG release summary + itemized changes; VERSION 1.80.0.0; package.json 1.80.0.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* docs(todos): file non-Claude host ownership-gate and version-heading pin follow-ups
Two follow-ups from the /plan-ceo-review + /plan-eng-review pass on merging
PR #2804 with main's v1.80.0.0 ownership gate: bring the Codex/Factory/
OpenCode/Cursor/Kiro copy loops and the stale-render prune under the
.gstack-owned marker rule, and a free test pinning that the CHANGELOG top
heading equals VERSION (the collision that git cannot see).
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix: pre-landing review fixes for the Aside-first branch
Review army + adversarial passes (Claude and Codex) on the merged branch:
setup
- _prune_stale_generated scans the host dirs too (the generator already
removed the render before setup ran, so the host branch was dead), skips
symlinks in the render tree (rm -rf on a slash-terminated link empties its
target), removes a host symlink only when it resolves into gstack, cleans a
bannered real dir through _cleanup_weak_dir, recognizes frontmatter-renamed
skills, and logs through log. The always-run codex render passes every host
dir that may link to it.
- NEEDS_BUILD checks all three binaries (with $_EXE) and lib/ sources; the
browser hint and the bootstrap summary honor GSTACK_SKIP_ASIDE, treat a
requested skip as a request, and derive one skill list.
lib/aside-render.ts + bin/gstack-render.ts
- The loopback server carries a per-render secret path, checks containment on
the real path (symlink escapes are 403), and rejects malformed encoding.
- Inline eval results are one base64 line, so page text cannot forge
ASIDE_DIR= or the sentinel; the last ASIDE_DIR wins.
- runProc escalates SIGTERM to SIGKILL, bounds every wait, and clears every
timer (an uncleared one kept gstack-render alive after printing OK).
- renderTmpDir refuses a shared /tmp name owned by someone else; the work dir
and server are created inside try; goto's budget follows the render budget.
- probeAside classifies a present-but-failing CLI as ASIDE_NOT_RUNNING like
the skills' bash probe; render() retries on gstack's own browser when Aside
could not start or its private CDP bridge is gone (never on a page error
or a timeout of a running script); the CLI reports the engine that actually
rendered, exits 0 on --help, rejects non-numeric flags, documents
--wait-timeout, fences EVAL/PAGE_ERRORS as untrusted content, and names the
daemon's cookie-import JS lock remedy.
- The browse path passes --scale only when asked (a scale change rebuilds
the daemon context) and restores the viewport after a sized screenshot.
resolvers / templates
- The bash probe honors GSTACK_SKIP_ASIDE and has a perl deadline on stock
macOS; .local is no longer LOCAL (mDNS); same-origin filters compare parsed
origins; link status is HEAD-checked only on LOCAL targets; every
aside exec goes through the receipted _aside_exec prelude
({{ASIDE_EXEC_PRELUDE}}), including nine template blocks that called it
bare; the design sketch and diagram staging use private directories.
- The generator prunes only bannered renders and never a host whose
generation failed.
Docs, stale comments and dead code cleaned; goldens re-rendered; tests
updated and added for every behavior above.

* test: coverage for the render CLI, setup rebuild check, make-pdf exit codes, and prose $B spans
New free tests from the ship coverage audit: test/gstack-render-cli.test.ts
(argv guards, --help, output contract with a fake daemon, failure and
serve-root paths, no-browser case, prompt exit), test/setup-needs-build.test.ts
(every binary and source set flips NEEDS_BUILD, Windows suffixes),
make-pdf/test/cli-exit-codes.test.ts and setup-smoke.test.ts (error to exit
code mapping, runSetup stages, renderPdf's engine), and prose-span cases for
extractBrowseCommands in test/skill-parser.test.ts.

* docs: CHANGELOG and TODOS cover the review fixes (v1.81.0.0)
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* docs: sync project docs with the v1.81.0.0 review fixes
BROWSER.md, ARCHITECTURE.md, CONTRIBUTING.md, README.md, CLAUDE.md,
docs/TESTING_INTERNALS.md and docs/PROJECT_STRUCTURE.md now describe the
shipped renderer and setup: the loopback render server's per-render secret
path and real-path containment, ENGINE= naming the engine that actually
rendered (mid-run retry on gstack's own browser), EVAL/PAGE_ERRORS fenced as
untrusted content, --wait-timeout and the CLI's argv guards, the receipted
_aside_exec prelude ({{ASIDE_EXEC_PRELUDE}} in the placeholder table), the
LOCAL host rule without .local, LOCAL-only HEAD checks in the links script,
GSTACK_SKIP_ASIDE across probe/renderer/setup, the ownership-gated
retired-skill prune, the widened NEEDS_BUILD check, and the new free tests
(gstack-render-cli, setup-prune-stale-generated, setup-browser-hint,
setup-needs-build, make-pdf cli-exit-codes and setup-smoke).

* docs: CHANGELOG states the precise mid-run retry rule
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix(test): skill-e2e-bws slices the $B setup block from the Browser fallback section
browse/SKILL.md no longer has '## SETUP' / '## Core QA Patterns' (Aside is the
primary driver; the $B block moved under 'Browser fallback'), so the gate test
sliced an empty block and handed the agent nothing to run. Anchor on
'### Find the `$B` binary' up to the next heading. 7/7 pass.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix(test): gate POSIX-only fixtures off Windows
windows-free-tests: the gstack-render CLI tests drive a shebang fake browse
that CreateProcess cannot exec, and two NEEDS_BUILD cases assert an execute
bit and a bare-name miss that MSYS bash does not have (test -x ignores mode
bits and resolves design -> design.exe). Those describes and cases now
self-skip on win32; argument guards, --help, the no-browser case, and every
other rebuild-check case still run there.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix(render): runProc waits for the exit code until the kill deadline; newtab retries once on a cold daemon
A process whose pipes have reached EOF is exiting, but runProc gave the exit
code only five seconds to arrive and then returned null, which run() reports
as a failed command. Under CI's six-shard load one such render failed with the
artifact already written. The SIGTERM/SIGKILL timers already bound the wait,
so the exit race now runs to the kill deadline.
The first CLI call auto-starts the browse daemon; on a cold start it can
answer 'Unable to connect' once while the server is still coming up. That
single case is retried after 1.5s; every other newtab failure is not.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* test(aside-render): warm the daemon before live fallback cases; failures name the render error
- Live fallback cases run 'goto about:blank' up to twice before asserting and
skip (never fail) when the daemon cannot come up.
- expectOk() puts r.error and the browse transcript into the assertion so a
failed render is diagnosable from the CI log.
- The argv-contract cases dump the fake's log on a miss.
- File default timeout is 30s: the subject is the CLI contract, not latency.
- Two cases pin the cold-daemon newtab retry and that other errors are not
retried.

gstack — AI Engineering Workflow
gstack is a collection of SKILL.md files that give AI agents structured roles for software development. Each skill is a specialist: CEO reviewer, eng manager, designer, QA lead, release engineer, debugger, and more.
Available skills
Skills live in .agents/skills/ (or ~/.claude/skills/gstack/ on Claude Code).
Invoke them by name (e.g., /office-hours).
Plan-mode reviews
| Skill | What it does |
|---|---|
/office-hours |
Start here. Reframes your product idea before you write code. |
/plan-ceo-review |
CEO-level review: find the 10-star product in the request. |
/plan-eng-review |
Lock architecture, data flow, edge cases, and tests. |
/plan-design-review |
Rate each design dimension 0-10, explain what a 10 looks like. |
/plan-devex-review |
DX-mode review: TTHW, magical moments, friction points, persona traces. |
/plan-tune |
Self-tune AskUserQuestion sensitivity per question. |
/autoplan |
One command runs CEO → design → DX → eng review (eng always last). |
/design-consultation |
Build a complete design system from scratch. |
/spec |
Turn vague intent into a precise, executable spec in five phases. Files a GitHub issue, optionally spawns a Claude Code agent in a fresh worktree, and lets /ship close the source issue on merge. |
Implementation + review
| Skill | What it does |
|---|---|
/review |
Pre-landing PR review. Finds bugs that pass CI but break in prod. |
/codex |
Second opinion via OpenAI Codex. Review, challenge, or consult modes. |
/investigate |
Systematic root-cause debugging. No fixes without investigation. |
/design-review |
Live-site visual audit + fix loop with atomic commits. |
/design-shotgun |
Generate multiple AI design variants, comparison board, iterate. |
/design-html |
Generate production-quality Pretext-native HTML/CSS. |
/devex-review |
Live developer experience audit (TTHW measured against the real flow). |
/qa |
Open a real browser, find bugs, fix them, re-verify. |
/qa-only |
Same methodology as /qa but report only — no code changes. |
/scrape |
Pull data from a web page in your Aside browser, with your real logged-in state. Read-only. On the fallback browser a codified browser-skill answers a repeat intent in ~200ms. |
/skillify |
Codify the most recent successful /scrape flow into a permanent browser-skill (fallback browser only). |
Release + deploy
| Skill | What it does |
|---|---|
/ship |
Run tests, review, push, open PR. Workspace-aware version queue. |
/land-and-deploy |
Merge the PR, wait for CI and deploy, verify production health. |
/canary |
Post-deploy monitoring loop in your Aside browser (or gstack's own when Aside is absent). |
/landing-report |
Read-only dashboard for the workspace-aware ship queue. |

/context-save |
Save working context (git state, decisions, remaining work). |
/context-restore |
Resume from a saved context, even across Conductor workspaces. |
/learn |
Manage what gstack learned across sessions. |
/retro |
Weekly retro with per-person breakdowns and shipping streaks. |
/health |

Set up gbrain for cross-machine session memory sync. |
/sync-gbrain |
Keep gbrain current with this repo's code; refresh agent search guidance in CLAUDE.md. |
Browser + agent integration
Every browser skill drives the Aside AI browser first (macOS 15+, aside.com) —
the user's real browser with their real sessions, through aside repl scripts;
gstack never installs it. When Aside is not installed or not running (Linux,
Windows, a closed Aside app) the same skills fall back automatically to gstack's
own headless Chromium ($B), which is where the three skills under /browse apply.
| Skill | What it does |
|---|---|
/browse |
Drive a browser: open a page, read it, click through a flow, screenshots, console errors. Aside first; gstack's own Chromium (~100ms/command) as the fallback. Every other browser skill stands on it. |
/open-gstack-browser |
Launch the visible GStack Browser with sidebar + stealth — the headed face of the fallback engine. |
/setup-browser-cookies |
Import cookies from your real browser into the fallback engine for authenticated testing. Unnecessary on Aside. |
/pair-agent |
Pair a remote AI agent (OpenClaw, Codex, etc.) with gstack's own browser over a scoped tunnel. |
iOS QA — drive real iPhones over USB or Tailscale (v1.43.0.0+)
| Skill | What it does |
|---|---|
/ios-qa |
Live-device iOS QA via USB CoreDevice tunnel + embedded StateServer. Optionally exposes the device over Tailscale so remote agents can drive it. |
/ios-fix |
Autonomous iOS bug fixer with regression snapshot capture. |
/ios-design-review |
Designer's-eye QA on a real iPhone — 10-dimension Apple HIG rubric. |
/ios-clean |
Convenience: strip DebugBridge + #if DEBUG wiring before a Release build. |
/ios-sync |
Regenerate the iOS debug bridge against the latest upstream templates. |
Companion CLIs (run on the Mac that's plugged into the device):
| Command | What it does |
|---|---|
gstack-ios-qa-daemon |
Mac-side broker. Loopback by default; --tailnet adds a Tailscale-facing listener with capability tiers and audit logging. |
gstack-ios-qa-mint |
Owner-grant CLI for the tailnet allowlist (grant/revoke/list). |
gstack-ios-qa-regen |
Regenerate the canonical local DebugBridge package and typed accessors (--app-source / --bridge-dir). |
End-to-end walkthrough: docs/howto-ios-testing-with-gstack.md.
Safety + scoping
| Skill | What it does |
|---|---|
/careful |
Warn before destructive commands (rm -rf, DROP TABLE, force-push). |
/freeze |
Lock edits to one directory. Hard block, not just a warning. |
/guard |
Activate both careful + freeze at once. |
/unfreeze |
Remove directory edit restrictions. |
/make-pdf |
Turn any markdown file into a publication-quality PDF. Renders through Aside, or gstack's own browser when Aside is absent. |
/diagram |
English in, diagram out: mermaid source + editable .excalidraw + SVG/PNG, offline. Renders through Aside, or gstack's own browser when Aside is absent. |
Build commands
bun install # install dependencies
bun run test # run free tests via the strict shard runner (no API spend, ~90-100s)
bun run test:windows # curated Windows-safe subset (runs on windows-latest)
bun run build # generate docs + compile binaries
bun run gen:skill-docs # regenerate SKILL.md files from templates
bun run skill:check # health dashboard for all skills
Platform support
- macOS + Linux: full test suite supported.
- Windows: curated Windows-safe subset runs on
windows-latestvia thewindows-free-testsCI job. Setup script (./setup) requires Git Bash or MSYS today; native PowerShell support is a future expansion. Thebin/gstack-pathshelper resolves state roots throughCLAUDE_PLUGIN_DATA/GSTACK_HOMEso plugin installs work on every platform. - Browser and renderer: the browser skills,
/make-pdf, and/diagramdrive the Aside browser first, which is macOS 15+ only. On Linux and Windows (or a Mac with Aside closed) the readiness check says so once and the same skills use gstack's own bundled browser, built by./setup.
Key conventions
- SKILL.md files are generated from
.tmpltemplates. Edit the template, not the output. - Run
bun run gen:skill-docs --host codexto regenerate Codex-specific output. - Browser steps in skills are
aside replscripts perscripts/resolvers/aside.ts(Aside first), each with a$Bequivalent for the fallback engine —$B <command>is the browse binary and is a legitimate tool when the Aside probe does not printREADY. Local HTML renders throughbin/gstack-render.ts, which picks the same way. - Safety skills (careful, freeze, guard) use inline advisory prose — always confirm before destructive operations.
- State paths resolve via
bin/gstack-paths(sourced viaeval "$(...)"). HonorsGSTACK_HOME,CLAUDE_PLUGIN_DATA,CLAUDE_PLANS_DIR. - The
claudeCLI binary resolves vialib/claude-bin.ts(re-exported frombrowse/src/claude-bin.tsfor browse internals;Bun.which()+GSTACK_CLAUDE_BINoverride). SetGSTACK_CLAUDE_BIN=wslplusGSTACK_CLAUDE_BIN_ARGS='["claude"]'to run Claude through WSL on Windows.
