SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Keeping gstack up to date is error-prone when installs exist in multiple locations (global git clone, local git clone, or vendored copies). This Skill automates version detection, upgrade execution, backup/rollback, and changelog summarization so users stay current without manual git operations. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Install Type Detection: Automatically identifies whether gstack is installed as a global git clone, local git clone, or vendored directory, and applies the correct upgrade strategy. - Safe Upgrade with Rollback: Backs up the previous version before upgrading and restores it automatically if the setup step fails. - Vendored Copy Sync: Detects and updates stale local vendored copies so global and project-level installs stay in sync. - Update Preferences: Supports auto-upgrade mode, snoozing reminders with escalating backoff (24h, 48h, 1 week), and disabling update checks entirely. - Use Case: A user runs /gstack-upgrade and the Skill detects a vendored install, clones the latest release, runs setup, syncs the local copy, and shows a summarized "What's New" changelog. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to upgrade gstack to the latest version and show what changed.

Frequently Asked Questions about gstack-upgrade

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

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

Run the /gstack-upgrade command, which forces a fresh update check and upgrades your install. It detects whether gstack is a git clone or vendored copy, applies the correct upgrade method, and shows a summary of what changed.

How does gstack detect global vs vendored installs?▼

It checks for a .git directory in ~/.claude/skills/gstack or .claude/skills/gstack to identify git installs, and falls back to treating plain directories as vendored installs. Git installs upgrade via git fetch and reset, while vendored installs are replaced with a fresh clone.

What happens if the gstack upgrade fails during setup?▼

The previous version is restored from the .bak backup directory created before the upgrade. You are warned that the upgrade failed and can rerun /gstack-upgrade manually to retry.

Can I enable automatic gstack upgrades?▼

Yes, set auto_upgrade to true using the gstack-config command or the GSTACK_AUTO_UPGRADE environment variable. Future updates then install automatically without prompting, with rollback if setup fails.

How do I snooze or disable gstack update reminders?▼

Choosing "Not now" snoozes reminders with escalating backoff of 24 hours, 48 hours, then one week. Choosing "Never ask again" sets update_check to false via gstack-config, which you can re-enable later.
