SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Keeping a gstack installation current requires manually detecting the install type, pulling updates, running setup, and reconciling vendored copies. This Skill automates that entire upgrade workflow and reports what changed. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Install Detection: Identifies global-git, local-git, vendored, and vendored-global install layouts before upgrading. - Safe Upgrade Flow: Stashes local changes, backs up vendored copies, runs setup, and restores from backup on failure. - Version Migrations & Changelog: Runs versioned migration scripts and summarizes user-facing changes between old and new versions. - Use Case: When a skill preamble reports UPGRADE_AVAILABLE, invoke this Skill to confirm with the user, upgrade the install, sync any local vendored copy, and display a What's New summary. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to upgrade gstack to the latest version and show what is new.

FAQPage Schema
How do I upgrade gstack to the latest version?▼

Invoke the /gstack-upgrade skill, which forces a fresh update check, detects your install type, pulls or re-clones the latest code, runs setup, and shows a What's New summary of changes between versions.

How does gstack detect global versus vendored installs?▼

The upgrade flow checks for .git directories under ~/.claude/skills/gstack, ~/.gstack/repos/gstack, and project-level .claude or .agents skill folders. Git-based installs use git fetch and reset, while vendored installs are replaced with a fresh clone.

Can gstack upgrade automatically without asking?▼

Yes. Setting auto_upgrade to true via gstack-config or the GSTACK_AUTO_UPGRADE environment variable skips the confirmation prompt. If the automatic upgrade fails, the previous version is restored from backup.

What happens if the gstack upgrade fails?▼

For vendored installs, the previous directory is preserved as a .bak backup and restored if setup fails. For git installs, local changes are stashed before the reset and can be recovered with git stash pop.

How do I stop gstack update notifications?▼

Choose Not now to snooze reminders with escalating backoff of 24 hours, 48 hours, then one week. Choose Never ask again to set update_check to false via gstack-config, which disables update checks entirely.
