feat: /codex skill — multi-AI second opinion + proactive suggestions (#197)

* feat: /codex skill — multi-AI second opinion (review, challenge, consult)

Three modes: code review with pass/fail gate, adversarial challenge mode,
and conversational consult with session continuity. First multi-AI skill
in gstack, wrapping OpenAI's Codex CLI.

* feat: integrate /codex into /review, /ship, /plan-eng-review + dashboard

/review offers Codex second opinion after completing its own review.
/ship offers Codex review as optional gate before pushing.
/plan-eng-review offers Codex plan critique after scope challenge.
Review Readiness Dashboard shows Codex Review as optional row.

* chore: bump version and changelog (v0.8.0)

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* test: codex skill validation (12 stub tests) + E2E eval test

Stub tests (free tier): verify template content — three modes, gate verdict,
session continuity, cost tracking, cross-model comparison, binary discovery,
error handling, mktemp usage, and integrations into /review, /ship, /plan-eng-review.

E2E test (paid tier): runs /codex review on vulnerable fixture repo via
session-runner, verifies output contains findings and GATE verdict.

* fix: codex auth error message — use codex login, not OPENAI_API_KEY

Codex authenticates via ChatGPT OAuth (codex login), not an env var.

* feat: codex uses high reasoning effort by default

gpt-5.2-codex is the only model available with ChatGPT login.
All commands now use model_reasoning_effort="high" for maximum
depth — the whole point is a thorough second opinion.

* feat: crank codex reasoning to xhigh (maximum)

* feat: per-mode reasoning (high for review/consult, xhigh for challenge) + web search

Review and consult use high reasoning — thorough but not slow.
Challenge (adversarial) uses xhigh — maximum depth for breaking code.
All modes enable web_search_cached so Codex can look up docs/APIs.

* refactor: don't hardcode model — use codex default (always latest)

* feat: JSONL output for codex challenge + consult modes

Use --json flag to parse codex's JSONL events, extracting reasoning
traces ([codex thinking]), tool calls ([codex ran]), and token counts.
This gives richer output than the -o flag alone — you can see what
codex thought through before its answer.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix: only persist codex-review log when code review actually ran

Don't write a codex-review entry to reviews.jsonl when only the
adversarial challenge (option B) was selected — there's no gate
verdict to record, and a false entry misleads the Review Readiness
Dashboard into thinking a code review happened.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: add codex plan review option to /plan-eng-review

After scope challenge (Step 0), offer to have Codex independently
review the plan with a brutally honest tech reviewer persona.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* test: update e2e test for codex skill

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix: codex integration bugs — plan content, review persistence, quoting, stderr

- plan-eng-review: Codex now reads the plan file itself instead of inlining
  content as a CLI arg (avoids ARG_MAX for large plans)
- review: add missing echo to persist codex-review results to reviews.jsonl
- codex: consult mode uses $TMPERR (mktemp) instead of hardcoded stderr path
- codex + review: quote $SLUG/$BRANCH_SLUG in review log paths
- codex: scope plan lookup to current project, warn on cross-project fallback

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix: add .context/ to .gitignore to prevent session ID leaks

Codex consult mode stores session IDs in .context/codex-session-id.
Without this ignore rule, session IDs could leak into commits.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: proactive skill suggestions + opt-out + trigger phrase tests

- Preamble reads proactive config via gstack-config
- Root SKILL.md.tmpl has lifecycle map (stage → skill suggestion)
- Users can opt out ("stop suggesting") / opt in ("be proactive again")
- Restored trigger phrase validation tests (16 skills × "Use when" check)
- Added missing "Use when" trigger phrases to /debug and /office-hours

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

feat: natural language skill routing + proactive suggestions (v0.7.1) (#195)

* feat: add trigger phrases to /debug and /office-hours

These two skills had zero "Use when asked to..." phrases, making them
completely invisible to natural language. Users saying "debug this" or
"brainstorm an idea" would get no skill invocation.

* feat: add proactive triggers to all workflow skills

Every skill now has "Proactively suggest when..." language so Claude
surfaces skills at natural moments — not just when the user says
specific trigger phrases.

* feat: lifecycle map + proactive preference system

Root gstack description now includes a developer workflow guide mapping
12 stages to skills. Preamble reads proactive preference via gstack-config.
Users can opt out with "stop suggesting things" and re-enable with
"be proactive again" — natural language toggle, no CLI needed.

* test: 11 journey-stage E2E routing tests + trigger phrase validation

Each test simulates a real development stage (ideation, plan review,
debug, QA, ship, retro...) with realistic project context and verifies
the right skill fires from natural language alone. 11/11 pass.

* chore: bump version and changelog (v0.7.1)

feat: founder discovery engine + /debug skill — v0.7.0 (#185)

* feat: add escalation protocol to preamble — all skills get DONE/BLOCKED/NEEDS_CONTEXT

Every skill now reports completion status (DONE, DONE_WITH_CONCERNS, BLOCKED,
NEEDS_CONTEXT) and has escalation rules: 3 failed attempts → STOP, security
uncertainty → STOP, scope exceeds verification → STOP.

"It is always OK to stop and say 'this is too hard for me.'"

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: add verification gate to /ship (Step 6.5) — no push without fresh evidence

Before pushing, re-verify tests if code changed during review fixes.
Rationalization prevention: "Should work now" → RUN IT.
"I'm confident" → Confidence is not evidence.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: add scope drift detection + verification of claims to /review

Step 1.5: Before reviewing code quality, check if the diff matches stated
intent. Flags scope creep and missing requirements (INFORMATIONAL).

Step 5 addition: Every review claim must cite evidence — "this pattern is
safe" needs a line reference, "tests cover this" needs a test name.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: mandatory implementation alternatives + design doc lookup in /plan-ceo-review

Step 0C-bis: Every plan must consider 2-3 approaches (minimal viable vs ideal
architecture) before mode selection. RECOMMENDATION required.

Pre-Review System Audit now checks ~/.gstack/projects/ for /brainstorm design
docs (branch-filtered with fallback).

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: design doc lookup in /plan-eng-review + fix branch name sanitization

Step 0 now checks ~/.gstack/projects/ for /brainstorm design docs
(branch-filtered with fallback, reads Supersedes: for revision context).

Fix: branch names with '/' (e.g. garrytan/better-process) now get
sanitized via tr '/' '-' in test plan artifact filenames.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: new /brainstorm and /debug skills

/brainstorm: Socratic design exploration before planning. Context gathering,
clarifying questions (smart-skip), related design discovery (keyword grep),
premise challenge, forced alternatives, design doc artifact with lineage
tracking (Supersedes: field). Writes to ~/.gstack/projects/$SLUG/.

/debug: Systematic root-cause debugging. Iron Law: no fixes without root
cause investigation. Pattern analysis, hypothesis testing with 3-strike
escalation, structured DEBUG REPORT output.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* test: structural tests for new skills + escalation protocol assertions

Add brainstorm + debug to skillsWithUpdateCheck and skillsWithPreamble arrays.
Add structural tests: brainstorm (Phase 1-6, Design Doc, Supersedes, Smart-skip),
debug (Iron Law, Root Cause, Pattern Analysis, Hypothesis, DEBUG REPORT, 3-strike).
Add escalation protocol tests (DONE_WITH_CONCERNS, BLOCKED, NEEDS_CONTEXT) for
all preamble skills.

Also: 2 new TODOs (design docs → Supabase sync, /plan-design-review skill),
update CLAUDE.md project structure with new skill directories.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* chore: bump version and changelog (v0.6.0)

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* chore: rename /brainstorm → /office-hours across references

Update CHANGELOG, CLAUDE.md, TODOS, design-consultation, plan-ceo-review,
and gen-skill-docs to reference the new office-hours skill name.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: YC Office Hours — dual-mode product diagnostic + builder brainstorm

Rewrite /office-hours with two modes:

Startup mode: six forcing questions (Demand Reality, Status Quo, Desperate
Specificity, Narrowest Wedge, Observation & Surprise, Future-Fit) that push
founders toward radical honesty about demand, users, and product decisions.
Includes smart routing by product stage, intrapreneurship adaptation, and
YC apply CTA for strong-signal founders.

Builder mode: generative brainstorming for side projects, hackathons,
learning, and open source. Enthusiastic collaborator tone, design thinking
questions, no business interrogation.

Mode is determined by an explicit question in Phase 1 — no guessing.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* test: add 14 assertions for YC Office Hours content coverage

Validates dual-mode structure (Startup/Builder), all six forcing questions,
builder brainstorming content, intrapreneurship adaptation, YC apply CTA,
and operating principles for both modes. 192 tests total, all passing.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* docs: update project documentation for v0.6.1

- README.md: added /office-hours and /debug to skills table, updated
  skill count from 13 to 15, added both to install instructions
- docs/skills.md: added /office-hours and /debug deep dive sections
- CLAUDE.md: updated office-hours description to reflect dual-mode
- CONTRIBUTING.md: updated skill count from 13 to 15
- CHANGELOG.md: added YC Office Hours and /debug entries to 0.6.0

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: founder discovery engine in /office-hours (v0.7.0)

Turn /office-hours into a YC founder discovery engine. Every session now
ends with three beats: signal reflection (specific callbacks to what the
user said), "One more thing." transition, and a personal plea from Garry
Tan with three tiers based on founder signal strength. Top tier uses
AskUserQuestion to ask directly and opens ycombinator.com/apply?ref=gstack.

Adds Phase 4.5 (Founder Signal Synthesis), "What I noticed about how you
think" section to both design doc templates, anti-slop GOOD/BAD examples,
and emotional targets per tier.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* test: add validation assertions for founder discovery engine

8 new assertions covering: YC apply CTA with ref=gstack tracking,
"What I noticed" design doc section, golden age framing, Garry Tan
personal plea, founder signal synthesis phase, three-tier decision
rubric, anti-slop GOOD/BAD examples, "One more thing" transition beat.

feat: add trigger phrases to skill descriptions for better model matching (v0.6.4.1) (#169)

* feat: add trigger phrases to skill descriptions for better model matching

Anthropic's skill best practices: "the description field is not a summary —
it's when to trigger." Add explicit "Use when asked to..." phrases to 12 skill
descriptions so Claude's auto-discovery works with natural language requests
like "deploy this" or "check my diff", not just explicit /slash-commands.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* docs: add on-demand hooks and telemetry to TODOS.md

Captures two ideas from Anthropic's skill best practices post:
- /careful, /freeze, /guard on-demand hook skills (P3)
- Skill usage telemetry via preamble JSONL append (P3)

feat: interactive /plan-design-review + CEO invokes designer + 100% coverage (v0.6.4) (#149)

* refactor: rename qa-design-review → design-review

The "qa-" prefix was confusing — this is the live-site design audit with
fix loop, not a QA-only report. Rename directory and update all references
across docs, tests, scripts, and skill templates.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: interactive /plan-design-review + CEO invokes designer

Rewrite /plan-design-review from report-only grading to an interactive
plan-fixer that rates each design dimension 0-10, explains what a 10
looks like, and edits the plan to get there. Parallel structure with
/plan-ceo-review and /plan-eng-review — one issue = one AskUserQuestion.

CEO review now detects UI scope and invokes the designer perspective
when the plan has frontend/UX work, so you get design review
automatically when it matters.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* test: validation + touchfile entries for 100% coverage

Add design-consultation to command/snapshot flag validation. Add 4
skills to contributor mode validation (plan-design-review,
design-review, design-consultation, document-release). Add 2 templates
to hardcoded branch check. Register touchfile entries for 10 new
LLM-judge tests and 1 new E2E test.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* test: LLM-judge for 10 skills + gstack-upgrade E2E

Add LLM-judge quality evals for all uncovered skills using a DRY
runWorkflowJudge helper with section marker guards. Add real E2E
test for gstack-upgrade using mock git remote (replaces test.todo).
Add plan-edit assertion to plan-design-review E2E.

14/15 skills now at full coverage. setup-browser-cookies remains
deferred (needs real browser).

feat: design review lite in /review and /ship + gstack-diff-scope (v0.6.3) (#142)

* feat: gstack-diff-scope helper + design review checklist

bin/gstack-diff-scope categorizes branch changes into SCOPE_FRONTEND,
SCOPE_BACKEND, SCOPE_PROMPTS, SCOPE_TESTS, SCOPE_DOCS, SCOPE_CONFIG.

review/design-checklist.md is a 20-item code-level checklist with
HIGH/MEDIUM/LOW confidence tags for detecting design anti-patterns
from source code.

* feat: integrate design review lite into /review and /ship

Add generateDesignReviewLite() resolver, insert {{DESIGN_REVIEW_LITE}}
partial in review Step 4.5 and ship Step 3.5. Update dashboard to
recognize design-review-lite entries. Ship pre-flight uses
gstack-diff-scope for smarter design review recommendations.

* test: E2E eval for design review lite detection

Planted CSS/HTML fixtures with 7 design anti-patterns. E2E test
verifies /review catches >= 4 of 7 (Papyrus font, 14px body text,
outline:none, !important, purple gradient, generic hero copy,
3-column feature grid).

* chore: bump version and changelog (v0.6.3.0)

feat: Test Bootstrap + Regression Tests + Coverage Audit (v0.6.0) (#136)

* feat: test bootstrap, regression tests, coverage audit, retro test health

- Add {{TEST_BOOTSTRAP}} resolver to gen-skill-docs.ts
- Add Phase 8e.5 regression test generation to /qa and /qa-design-review
- Add Step 3.4 test coverage audit with quality scoring to /ship
- Add test health tracking to /retro
- Add 2 E2E evals (bootstrap + coverage audit)
- Add 26 validation tests
- Update ARCHITECTURE.md placeholder table
- Add 2 P3 TODOs (CI/CD non-GitHub, auto-upgrade weak tests)

* chore: bump version and changelog (v0.6.0)

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: make coverage audit trace actual codepaths, not just syntax patterns

Step 3.4 now instructs Claude to read full files, trace data flow through
every branch, diagram the execution, and check each branch against tests.
Phase 8e.5 regression tests now trace the bug's codepath before writing
the test, catching adjacent edge cases.

* feat: coverage audit now maps user flows, interactions, and error states

Step 3.4 now covers the full picture: code branches AND user-facing behavior.
Maps user flows (complete journey through the feature), interaction edge cases
(double-click, back button, stale state, slow connection), error states
(what does the user actually see?), and boundary states (zero results,
10k results, max-length input). Coverage diagram splits into Code Path
Coverage and User Flow Coverage sections with separate percentages.

* fix: raise test gen cap to 20, add validation tests for user flow coverage

- Raise Step 3.4 test generation cap from 10 to 20 (code + user flow combined)
- Add 3 validation tests: codepath tracing, user flow mapping, diagram sections

feat: always-full eng review + ship review gate persistence (v0.5.4) (#135)

Remove SMALL/BIG CHANGE menu from /plan-eng-review — every plan gets the
full interactive review. Scope reduction is now proactive (only when
complexity check triggers) rather than a menu item.

Add review gate override persistence to /ship — when the user says "ship
anyway" or "not relevant", that decision is saved to the branch's
reviews.jsonl so subsequent /ship runs don't re-ask.

feat: SELECTIVE EXPANSION + smarter ship gates (v0.5.3) (#134)

* feat: SELECTIVE EXPANSION mode + user control for CEO review

Add 4th mode to /plan-ceo-review: SELECTIVE EXPANSION holds current scope
as baseline but surfaces expansion opportunities one by one for cherry-picking.
All modes now present every scope-expanding idea as individual AskUserQuestion
calls — user opts in or out of each one. EXPANSION recommends enthusiastically,
SELECTIVE recommends neutrally. CEO plan persistence writes decisions to disk.

* feat: review dashboard — eng required, CEO/design optional

Only Eng Review gates shipping. CEO Review recommended for big product
changes, Design Review for UI work — both informational only. Adds
skip_eng_review global config to disable the gate entirely.

* chore: bump version and changelog (v0.5.3)

Extract the opaque SLUG sed pipeline into a shared 5-line shell script.
Replace 8 inline copies across templates with eval $(gstack-slug).
Sanitizes branch names (/ → -) to prevent subdirectory creation.

* feat: review readiness dashboard — track CEO/Eng/Design reviews per branch

Each review skill logs its result to JSONL. A shared {{REVIEW_DASHBOARD}}
placeholder displays run counts, timestamps, and a CLEARED TO SHIP verdict.
/ship pre-flight reads the dashboard and prompts when reviews are missing.

- Every finding gets action (not just critical ones)
- AUTO-FIX items (dead code, N+1, stale comments) applied directly

fix: dynamic base branch detection across all SKILL templates (v0.3.10) (#81)

* feat: add {{BASE_BRANCH_DETECT}} resolver to gen-skill-docs

DRY placeholder for dynamic base branch detection across PR-targeting
skills. Detects via gh pr view (existing PR base) → gh repo view
(repo default) → fallback to main.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix: ship skill detects base branch instead of hardcoding main

Replaces ~14 hardcoded 'main' references with dynamic detection via
{{BASE_BRANCH_DETECT}}. Fixes stacked branches and Conductor workspaces
targeting non-main branches. Adds --base <base> to gh pr create.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix: review, qa, plan-ceo-review detect base branch dynamically

Same pattern as ship: replaces hardcoded 'main' with {{BASE_BRANCH_DETECT}}.
Also cleans up qa bash-isms (REPORT_DIR variable, port chaining).

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix: retro detects default branch instead of hardcoding origin/main

Retro queries commit history (not PR targets), so uses simpler detection:
gh repo view defaultBranchRef. Replaces ~11 origin/main refs with
origin/<default>.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* docs: add explicit cross-step references in gstack-upgrade template

Bash blocks are self-contained, but cross-block variable references
(INSTALL_DIR from Step 2) were implicit. Adds prose making them explicit.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* docs+test: SKILL authoring guidance + regression tests

Adds "Writing SKILL templates" section to CLAUDE.md explaining that
templates are prompts, not scripts. Adds validation test catching
hardcoded 'main' in git commands, and resolver content test.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* docs: rewrite v0.4.1 changelog to be user-facing and sell the features

* feat: add evals for RECOMMENDATION format, session awareness, and enum completeness

Free tests (Tier 1): RECOMMENDATION format + session awareness in all
preamble SKILL.md files, enum completeness checklist structure and CRITICAL
classification.

E2E eval: /review catches missed enum handlers when a new status value
is added but not handled in case/switch and notify methods.

* feat: add E2E eval for session awareness ELI16 mode

Stubs _SESSIONS=4, gives agent a decision point on feature/add-payments
branch, verifies the output re-grounds the user with project, branch,
context, and RECOMMENDATION — the ELI16 mode behavior for 3+ sessions.

* fix: contributor mode eval marked FAIL due to expected browse error

The test intentionally runs a nonexistent binary to trigger contributor
mode. The session runner's browse error detection catches "no such file
or directory...browse" and sets browseErrors, causing recordE2E to mark
passed=false. Override passed to check only exitReason since the browse
error is the expected scenario.

feat: TODOS-aware skills, 2-tier Greptile replies, gitignore fix (#61)

* fix: log non-ENOENT errors in ensureStateDir() instead of silently swallowing

Replace bare catch {} with ENOENT-only silence. Non-ENOENT errors (EACCES,
ENOSPC) are now logged to .gstack/browse-server.log. Includes test for
permission-denied scenario with chmod 444.

* feat: merge TODO.md + TODOS.md into unified backlog with shared format reference

Merge TODO.md (roadmap) and TODOS.md (near-term) into one file organized by
skill/component with P0-P4 priority ordering and Completed section. Add shared
review/TODOS-format.md for canonical format. Add static validation tests.

* feat: add 2-tier Greptile reply system with escalation detection

Add reply templates (Tier 1 friendly, Tier 2 firm), explicit escalation
detection algorithm, and severity re-ranking guidance to greptile-triage.md.

* feat: cross-skill TODOS awareness + Greptile template refs in all skills

/ship Step 5.5: auto-detect completed TODOs, offer reorganization.
/review Step 5.5: cross-reference PR against open TODOs.
/plan-ceo-review, /plan-eng-review: TODOS context in planning.
/retro: Backlog Health metric. /qa: bug TODO context in diff-aware mode.
All Greptile-aware skills now reference reply templates and escalation detection.

* chore: bump version and changelog (v0.3.8)

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* docs: update CONTRIBUTING.md for v0.3.8 changes

Clarify test tier cost table (Tier 3 standalone vs combined), add TODOS.md
to "Things to know", mention Greptile triage in ship workflow description.

Merge pull request #55 from garrytan/v0.3.6-qa-upgrades

feat: E2E observability + eval infrastructure + all skills templated
a67dae5f — Garry Tan a month ago
fix: update check preamble exits 1 when up to date — convert all skills to .tmpl

The `[ -n "$_UPD" ] && echo "$_UPD"` line in 5 skills was missing `|| true`,
causing exit code 1 when the update check finds no update (empty $_UPD).

Fix: convert ship/, review/, plan-ceo-review/, plan-eng-review/, retro/ to
.tmpl templates using {{UPDATE_CHECK}} placeholder (same as browse/qa/etc).
All 9 skills now generated from templates — preamble changes propagate everywhere.

Also: regenerates qa/SKILL.md which had drifted from its template, adds 12 tests
validating the update check preamble exits 0 in all skills, removes completed TODO.
