Install Garry Tan’s Claude Code operating stack with gstack
Use gstack to bootstrap an opinionated Claude Code workspace with specialist agent skills, commands, hooks, and operating workflows for product-building teams.

gstack packages Garry Tan’s Claude Code setup as a repeatable operator workflow: install the stack, review the bundled specialist roles and commands, and use them to coordinate product, design, engineering, release, documentation, and QA work inside a supervised Claude Code environment. Invoke this when a builder or small team wants a prebuilt Claude Code operating system rather than hand-assembling roles, commands, and hooks from scratch. The scope boundary is the Claude Code workspace/team-operating workflow; it is not a generic agent framework, guardrail product, or replacement for human review of generated changes.
What this skill actually does
Inputs and prerequisites: Claude Code, gstack repository installer/assets, Git.
Setup notes: Follow the installation and setup instructions in the gstack README, then review the installed Claude Code roles, commands, hooks, and project-specific guidance before using them on a real repository.
Source and verification boundary: use https://github.com/garrytan/gstack as the canonical reference before running the workflow; keep commands, API calls, CLI usage, and generated outputs reviewable against that upstream source.
Framework fit: publish this as a Claude Code workflow only when the operator can invoke the documented toolchain directly, rather than treating the upstream project as a generic product listing.
