SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Keeping a gstack installation current requires manually detecting whether it is a global git clone, a local git clone, or a vendored copy, then running the correct upgrade commands for each. This Skill automates that detection and upgrade flow, including syncing stale local vendored copies and summarizing what changed. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Install Type Detection: Identifies global-git, local-git, vendored, and vendored-global installs by checking for .git directories in known locations. - Safe Upgrade with Rollback: Stashes local changes for git installs and backs up vendored directories, restoring from backup if setup fails. - Vendored Copy Sync: Detects and updates a stale local vendored copy in the project repository to match the freshly upgraded primary install. - Update Prompting and Snoozing: Supports auto-upgrade mode, escalating snooze backoff (24h, 48h, 1 week), and permanent opt-out via config. - Use Case: When a skill preamble reports UPGRADE_AVAILABLE, run this Skill to upgrade gstack from v1.0 to v1.1, sync the vendored copy in your repo, and read a summary of the changelog highlights. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to upgrade gstack to the latest version and show what is new.

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?▼

Invoke the /gstack-upgrade skill, which forces a fresh update check, detects your install type, and runs the upgrade. Git installs use git fetch and reset to origin/main, while vendored installs are replaced with a fresh clone and re-set up.

How does gstack detect global versus vendored installs?▼

It checks for .git directories in known locations such as ~/.claude/skills/gstack and .claude/skills/gstack. A directory with .git is treated as a git install, while one without is treated as vendored.

Can gstack upgrade automatically without asking?▼

Yes, set auto_upgrade to true via gstack-config or the GSTACK_AUTO_UPGRADE environment variable. Auto-upgrades skip the confirmation prompt and restore from backup if setup fails.

What happens if the gstack upgrade fails during setup?▼

For vendored installs, the previous version is restored from the .bak backup directory and a warning is shown. For git installs, stashed local changes can be recovered with git stash pop.

How do I stop gstack update reminders?▼

Choose "Not now" to snooze with escalating backoff of 24h, 48h, then 1 week, or choose "Never ask again" to disable update checks via gstack-config set update_check false.
