Preamble (run first)

_UPD=$(~/.claude/skills/gstack/bin/gstack-update-check 2>/dev/null || .claude/skills/gstack/bin/gstack-update-check 2>/dev/null || true)
[ -n "$_UPD" ] && echo "$_UPD" || true
mkdir -p ~/.gstack/sessions
touch ~/.gstack/sessions/"$PPID"
_SESSIONS=$(find ~/.gstack/sessions -mmin -120 -type f 2>/dev/null | wc -l | tr -d ' ')
find ~/.gstack/sessions -mmin +120 -type f -delete 2>/dev/null || true
_CONTRIB=$(~/.claude/skills/gstack/bin/gstack-config get gstack_contributor 2>/dev/null || true)

If output shows UPGRADE_AVAILABLE <old> <new>: read ~/.claude/skills/gstack/gstack-upgrade/SKILL.md and follow the "Inline upgrade flow" (auto-upgrade if configured, otherwise AskUserQuestion with 4 options, write snooze state if declined). If JUST_UPGRADED <from> <to>: tell user "Running gstack v{to} (just updated!)" and continue.

AskUserQuestion Format

ALWAYS follow this structure for every AskUserQuestion call:

1. Context: project name, current branch, what we're working on (1-2 sentences)
2. The specific question or decision point
3. RECOMMENDATION: Choose [X] because [one-line reason]
4. Lettered options: A) ... B) ... C) ...

If _SESSIONS is 3 or more: the user is juggling multiple gstack sessions and context-switching heavily. ELI16 mode — they may not remember what this conversation is about. Every AskUserQuestion MUST re-ground them: state the project, the branch, the current plan/task, then the specific problem, THEN the recommendation and options. Be extra clear and self-contained — assume they haven't looked at this window in 20 minutes.

Per-skill instructions may add additional formatting rules on top of this baseline.

Contributor Mode

If _CONTRIB is true: you are in contributor mode. When you hit friction with gstack itself (not the user's app), file a field report. Think: "hey, I was trying to do X with gstack and it didn't work / was confusing / was annoying. Here's what happened."

gstack issues: browse command fails/wrong output, snapshot missing elements, skill instructions unclear or misleading, binary crash/hang, unhelpful error message, any rough edge or annoyance — even minor stuff. NOT gstack issues: user's app bugs, network errors to user's URL, auth failures on user's site.

To file: write ~/.gstack/contributor-logs/{slug}.md with this structure:

# {Title}

Hey gstack team — ran into this while using /{skill-name}:

**What I was trying to do:** {what the user/agent was attempting}
**What happened instead:** {what actually happened}
**How annoying (1-5):** {1=meh, 3=friction, 5=blocker}

## Steps to reproduce
1. {step}

## Raw output
(wrap any error messages or unexpected output in a markdown code block)

**Date:** {YYYY-MM-DD} | **Version:** {gstack version} | **Skill:** /{skill}

Then run: mkdir -p ~/.gstack/contributor-logs && open ~/.gstack/contributor-logs/{slug}.md

Slug: lowercase, hyphens, max 60 chars (e.g. browse-snapshot-ref-gap). Skip if file already exists. Max 3 reports per session. File inline and continue — don't stop the workflow. Tell user: "Filed gstack field report: {title}"

Setup Browser Cookies

Import logged-in sessions from your real Chromium browser into the headless browse session.

How it works

1. Find the browse binary
2. Run cookie-import-browser to detect installed browsers and open the picker UI
3. User selects which cookie domains to import in their browser
4. Cookies are decrypted and loaded into the Playwright session

Steps

1. Find the browse binary

SETUP (run this check BEFORE any browse command)

_ROOT=$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel 2>/dev/null)
B=""
[ -n "$_ROOT" ] && [ -x "$_ROOT/.claude/skills/gstack/browse/dist/browse" ] && B="$_ROOT/.claude/skills/gstack/browse/dist/browse"
[ -z "$B" ] && B=~/.claude/skills/gstack/browse/dist/browse
if [ -x "$B" ]; then
  echo "READY: $B"
else
  echo "NEEDS_SETUP"
fi

If NEEDS_SETUP:

1. Tell the user: "gstack browse needs a one-time build (~10 seconds). OK to proceed?" Then STOP and wait.
2. Run: cd <SKILL_DIR> && ./setup
3. If bun is not installed: curl -fsSL https://bun.sh/install | bash

2. Open the cookie picker

$B cookie-import-browser

This auto-detects installed Chromium browsers (Comet, Chrome, Arc, Brave, Edge) and opens an interactive picker UI in your default browser where you can:

• Switch between installed browsers
• Search domains
• Click "+" to import a domain's cookies
• Click trash to remove imported cookies

Tell the user: "Cookie picker opened — select the domains you want to import in your browser, then tell me when you're done."

3. Direct import (alternative)

If the user specifies a domain directly (e.g., /setup-browser-cookies github.com), skip the UI:

$B cookie-import-browser comet --domain github.com

Replace comet with the appropriate browser if specified.

4. Verify

After the user confirms they're done:

$B cookies

Show the user a summary of imported cookies (domain counts).

Notes

• First import per browser may trigger a macOS Keychain dialog — click "Allow" / "Always Allow"
• Cookie picker is served on the same port as the browse server (no extra process)
• Only domain names and cookie counts are shown in the UI — no cookie values are exposed
• The browse session persists cookies between commands, so imported cookies work immediately
