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.

* 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.

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

- Preamble reads proactive config via gstack-config

- Restored trigger phrase validation tests (16 skills × "Use when" check)
- Added missing "Use when" trigger phrases to /debug and /office-hours

feat: safety hook skills + skill usage telemetry (v0.7.1) (#189)

* feat: add /careful, /freeze, /guard, /unfreeze safety hook skills

Four new on-demand skills using Claude Code's PreToolUse hooks:
- /careful: warns before destructive commands (rm -rf, DROP TABLE, force-push, etc.)
- /freeze: blocks file edits outside a specified directory
- /guard: composes both into one command
- /unfreeze: clears freeze boundary without ending session

Pure bash hook scripts with Python fallback for JSON edge cases.
Safe exceptions for build artifacts (node_modules, dist, .next, etc.).
Hook fire telemetry logs pattern name only (never command content).

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

* feat: add skill usage telemetry to preamble

TemplateContext system passes skill name through resolver pipeline so
each generated SKILL.md gets its own name baked into the telemetry line.
Appends to ~/.gstack/analytics/skill-usage.jsonl on every invocation.

Covers 14 preamble-using skills + 4 hook skills (inline telemetry).
JSONL format: {"skill":"ship","ts":"...","repo":"my-project"}

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

* feat: add analytics CLI for skill usage stats

bun run analytics reads ~/.gstack/analytics/skill-usage.jsonl and shows
top skills, per-repo breakdown, hook fire stats, and daily timeline.
Supports --period 7d/30d/all. Handles missing/empty/malformed data.

22 unit tests cover parsing, filtering, formatting, and edge cases.

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

* feat: add skills-used-this-week to /retro

Retro Step 2 now reads skill-usage.jsonl and shows which gstack skills
were used during the retro window. Follows the same pattern as the
Greptile signal and Backlog Health metrics — read file, filter by date,
aggregate, present. Skips silently if no analytics data exists.

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

* test: add hook script and telemetry tests

32 unit tests for check-careful.sh covering all 8 destructive patterns,
safe exceptions, Python fallback, and malformed input handling.
7 unit tests for check-freeze.sh covering boundary enforcement,
trailing slash edge case, and missing state file.
Telemetry tests verify per-skill name correctness in generated output.
Adds careful/freeze/guard/unfreeze/document-release to ALL_SKILLS.

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

* chore: bump version to 0.6.5 + changelog + mark TODOs shipped

Safety hook skills and skill usage telemetry shipped.
Analytics CLI and /retro integration included.

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

* feat: /debug auto-freezes edits to the module being debugged

Add PreToolUse hooks (Edit/Write) to debug/SKILL.md.tmpl that reference
the existing freeze/bin/check-freeze.sh. After Phase 1 investigation,
/debug locks edits to the narrowest affected directory.

Graceful degradation: if freeze script is unavailable, scope lock is
skipped. Users can run /unfreeze to remove the restriction.

Deferred 6 enhancements to TODOS.md, gated on telemetry showing the
freeze hook actually fires in real debugging sessions.

fix: /retro midnight-aligned dates + local timezone (v0.7.2) (#199)

* fix: use midnight-aligned dates and local timezone in /retro

/retro was using --since="7 days ago" which is relative to current time,
so running at 9pm gives a misleading "Mar 11 to Mar 18" title when data
actually starts at 9pm Mar 11. Now computes absolute midnight-aligned
start dates (--since="2026-03-11") for full calendar days.

Also removes hardcoded Pacific time (TZ=America/Los_Angeles) throughout
the template — all timestamps now use the user's local timezone, which
is correct for a global user base.

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.

* 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

* 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,

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

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.

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

* 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).

* 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: /gstack-upgrade detects and syncs stale vendored copies (v0.5.4.1) (#137)

When the global gstack is already up to date, standalone /gstack-upgrade
now checks if the local vendored copy in the current project is at a
different version and syncs it automatically. Also adds rollback on
setup failure and update-check fallback matching the preamble pattern.

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)
