SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill removes the friction of keeping gstack current by handling version detection, install-type discovery, upgrades, and post-update reporting in one guided workflow.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automatic Update Handling: Checks whether an upgrade is available and decides whether to prompt the user or continue automatically when auto-upgrade is enabled.
  • Install-Aware Upgrade Flow: Supports global git installs, local git installs, and vendored copies so it can update gstack in the right place every time.
  • Safety and Recovery: Uses stashing, backups, restore steps, and verification markers to reduce the risk of losing changes or leaving a broken install behind.
  • What's New Summary: Reads the changelog after upgrading and presents the most relevant user-facing improvements in a concise recap.
  • Use Case: A developer notices an update notification and wants the latest gstack version installed without manually figuring out where it lives or how to sync a vendored copy.

Quick Start

Ask the agent to upgrade gstack to the latest version and summarize what changed after the update.
