Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* docs: split README into lean intro + docs/ directory (gh CLI pattern)
README: 875 → 243 lines. Keeps intro, skill table, demo, install, and
troubleshooting. All per-skill deep dives, Greptile integration guide,
and contributor mode docs moved to docs/ directory.
- docs/skills.md — full philosophy and examples for all 13 skills
- docs/greptile.md — Greptile setup and triage workflow
- docs/contributor-mode.md — how to enable and use contributor mode
- README now links to docs/ via Documentation table
- Updated skill table entries with latest features (fix-first, regression
tests, test health, completeness gaps)
- Updated demo transcript with AUTO-FIXED, coverage audit, regression test

* docs: remove "competitor" language, rewrite README in Garry's voice
Replace "browses competitors" with "knows the landscape" / "what's out
there" throughout all user-facing copy. Trim README from 243 to 167
lines — tighter, more opinionated, less listicle energy. Remove
Completeness Principle from README top (it lives in CLAUDE.md and the
skill preambles where Claude actually reads it).
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* docs: rewrite README in Garry's raw voice — AGI era, L8 factory, real stories
The README now sounds like Garry, not a product page. Leads with the
live experiment, the 16k LOC/day reality, the real-life coding stories
(Austin, hospital bedside). Highlights the newest unlocks (design at
the heart, /qa parallelism, smart review routing, test bootstrap).
Closes with an open invitation — free MIT, fork it, let's all ride
the wave together.

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: Review Readiness Dashboard + gstack-slug helper (v0.5.1) (#130)
* feat: add bin/gstack-slug helper + migrate all inline SLUG computation
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.
* chore: bump version and changelog (v0.5.1)

feat: always-on ELI16 + branch detection (v0.4.3) (#108)
* feat: always-on ELI16 + branch detection in preamble
- Add _BRANCH detection to preamble bash block (git branch --show-current)
- Merge ELI16 rules into default AskUserQuestion format (always-on)
- Remove _SESSIONS >= 3 conditional — better questions always
- Add simplification rules: plain English, no jargon, no raw function names
- Update tests for branch detection and simplification regression guard

feat: await support in browse js/eval + contributor mode v2 (#104)
* feat: support await in $B js and eval commands
Auto-wrap await expressions in async IIFE context so
$B js "await fetch(...)" works without SyntaxError.
- hasAwait() strips comments before detection
- js: expression wrapping (async()=>(expr))()
- eval: smart wrapping — single-line=expression, multi-line=block
- 6 new unit tests covering async, false-positive, and return semantics
* feat: redesign contributor mode — periodic reflection with 0-10 rating
Replace passive "report when things break" with active reflection:
- Rate gstack experience 0-10 at workflow step boundaries
- Historical calibration example (await bug) anchors the reporting bar
- "What would make this a 10" field focuses on actionable improvements
- Removed category lists in favor of judgment-based assessment
* test: add deterministic contributor mode preamble validation
40 new skill-validation tests (4 checks × 10 skills) verify:
- 0-10 rating scale present
- Calibration example present
- "What would make this a 10" field present
- Periodic reflection (not per-command)
Update existing E2E contributor eval for new report format.
* chore: bump version and changelog (v0.4.2)
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix: improve contributor mode + qa-quick E2E reliability
Contributor mode:
- Add "do not truncate" directive to template — agent was stopping
after "My rating" without completing Steps/Raw output/What would
make this a 10 sections
- Restore assertions for Steps to reproduce and Date footer
QA quick:
- Make test server URL prominent: top of prompt, explicit "already
running" and "do NOT discover ports" instructions
- Bump session timeout 180s→240s and test timeout 240s→300s
- Set B= at top of prompt (was buried in prose)
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix: use flexible assertions for contributor mode E2E
Agent writes thorough reports with creative section names
("Repro Steps" vs "Steps to reproduce"). Match intent not formatting:
- /repro|steps to reproduce/ for reproduction steps
- /date.*2026/ for date footer presence
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* docs: add E2E eval failure blame protocol
"Not related to our changes" is an extraordinary claim that requires
extraordinary proof. When evals fail during /ship:
1. Run the same eval on main — prove it fails there too
2. If it passes on main, it IS your change — trace the blame
3. If you can't verify, say "unverified" not "pre-existing"
Added to CLAUDE.md and as a comment in skill-e2e.test.ts.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* docs: update CONTRIBUTING.md and BROWSER.md for v0.4.2
CONTRIBUTING.md: update contributor mode description — now describes
periodic 0-10 reflection loop instead of passive friction detection.
BROWSER.md: add js/eval async documentation — await expressions are
auto-wrapped in async context, single-line eval returns values directly.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix: restore v0.4.2 changelog entries lost during cherry-pick conflict
The base branch detection entries from main were dropped when resolving
the CHANGELOG conflict — should have merged both sets, not replaced.

- Add session tracking (touch ~/.gstack/sessions/$PPID, count active sessions)
- ELI16 mode when 3+ concurrent sessions detected (re-ground user on context)
- Contributor mode: auto-file field reports to ~/.gstack/contributor-logs/
- Universal AskUserQuestion format: context → question → RECOMMENDATION → options
- Update plan-ceo-review and plan-eng-review to reference preamble baseline

* feat: add Enum & Value Completeness to /review critical checklist
New CRITICAL review category that traces new enum values, status strings,
and type constants through every consumer outside the diff. Catches the
class of bugs where a new value is added but not handled in all switch/case
chains, allowlists, or frontend-backend contracts.

* docs: rewrite v0.4.1 changelog to be user-facing and sell the features
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* 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.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* 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.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* 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: QA restructure, browser ref staleness, eval efficiency metrics (v0.4.0) (#83)
* feat: browser ref staleness detection via async count() validation
resolveRef() now checks element count to detect stale refs after page
mutations (e.g. SPA navigation). RefEntry stores role+name metadata
for better diagnostics. 3 new snapshot tests for staleness detection.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* feat: qa-only skill, qa fix loop, plan-to-QA artifact flow
Add /qa-only (report-only, Edit tool blocked), restructure /qa with
find-fix-verify cycle, add {{QA_METHODOLOGY}} DRY placeholder for
shared methodology. /plan-eng-review now writes test-plan artifacts
to ~/.gstack/projects/<slug>/ for QA consumption.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* feat: eval efficiency metrics — turns, duration, commentary across all surfaces
Add generateCommentary() for natural-language delta interpretation,
per-test turns/duration in comparison and summary output, judgePassed
unit tests, 3 new E2E tests (qa-only, qa fix loop, plan artifact).
