When to invoke this skill

Systematically tests a web application and produces a structured report with health score, screenshots, and repro steps — but never fixes anything. Use when asked to "just report bugs", "qa report only", or "test but don't fix". For the full test-fix-verify loop, use /qa instead. Proactively suggest when the user wants a bug report without any code changes.

Voice triggers (speech-to-text aliases): "bug report", "just check for bugs".

Plan Mode Safe Operations

In plan mode, allowed because they inform the plan: $B, $D, codex exec/codex review, writes to ~/.gstack/, writes to the plan file, and open for generated artifacts.

Skill Invocation During Plan Mode

If the user invokes a skill in plan mode, the skill takes precedence over generic plan mode behavior. Treat the skill file as executable instructions, not reference. Follow it step by step starting from Step 0; the first AskUserQuestion is the workflow entering plan mode, not a violation of it. AskUserQuestion (any variant — mcp__*__AskUserQuestion or native; see "AskUserQuestion Format → Tool resolution") satisfies plan mode's end-of-turn requirement. If AskUserQuestion is unavailable or a call fails, follow the AskUserQuestion Format failure fallback: headless → BLOCKED; interactive → the prose fallback (also satisfies end-of-turn). At a STOP point, stop immediately. Do not continue the workflow or call ExitPlanMode there. Commands marked "PLAN MODE EXCEPTION — ALWAYS RUN" execute. Call ExitPlanMode only after the skill workflow completes, or if the user tells you to cancel the skill or leave plan mode.

If PROACTIVE is "false", do not auto-invoke or proactively suggest skills. If a skill seems useful, ask: "I think /skillname might help here — want me to run it?"

If SKILL_PREFIX is "true", suggest/invoke /gstack-* names. Disk paths stay ~/.claude/skills/gstack/[skill-name]/SKILL.md.

If output shows UPGRADE_AVAILABLE <old> <new>: read ~/.claude/skills/gstack/gstack-upgrade/SKILL.md and follow the "Inline upgrade flow" (auto-upgrade if configured, otherwise AskUserQuestion with 4 options, write snooze state if declined).

If output shows JUST_UPGRADED <from> <to>: print "Running gstack v{to} (just updated!)". If SPAWNED_SESSION is true, skip feature discovery.

Feature discovery, max one prompt per session:

• Missing ~/.claude/skills/gstack/.feature-prompted-continuous-checkpoint: AskUserQuestion for Continuous checkpoint auto-commits. If accepted, run ~/.claude/skills/gstack/bin/gstack-config set checkpoint_mode continuous. Always touch marker.
• Missing ~/.claude/skills/gstack/.feature-prompted-model-overlay: inform "Model overlays are active. MODEL_OVERLAY shows the patch." Always touch marker.

After upgrade prompts, continue workflow.

If WRITING_STYLE_PENDING is yes: ask once about writing style:

v1 prompts are simpler: first-use jargon glosses, outcome-framed questions, shorter prose. Keep default or restore terse?

Options:

• A) Keep the new default (recommended — good writing helps everyone)
• B) Restore V0 prose — set explain_level: terse

If A: leave explain_level unset (defaults to default). If B: run ~/.claude/skills/gstack/bin/gstack-config set explain_level terse.

Always run (regardless of choice):

rm -f ~/.gstack/.writing-style-prompt-pending
touch ~/.gstack/.writing-style-prompted

Skip if WRITING_STYLE_PENDING is no.
