* feat: UX behavioral foundations — Krug's usability principles as shared design infrastructure
Add UX_PRINCIPLES resolver distilling Steve Krug's "Don't Make Me Think" into
actionable guidance for AI agents. Injected into all 4 design skills as a shared
behavioral foundation complementing the existing visual checklist (WHAT to check)
and cognitive patterns (HOW designers see) with HOW USERS ACTUALLY BEHAVE.
Methodology rewire: 6 Krug usability tests woven into existing design-review
phases — Trunk Test, 3-Second Scan, Page Area Test, Happy Talk Detection with
word count metric, Mindless Choice Audit, Goodwill Reservoir tracking with
visual dashboard. First-person narration mode for design-review output with
anti-slop guardrail.
Hard rules: 4 Krug always/never rules in DESIGN_HARD_RULES (placeholder-as-label,
floating headings, visited link distinction, minimum type size). Krug, Redish,
Jarrett added to plan-design-review references.
Token ceiling: gen-skill-docs.ts warns if any SKILL.md exceeds 100KB (~25K tokens).
Documented in CLAUDE.md.

* feat: $B ux-audit command + snapshot --heatmap flag
New browse meta-command: ux-audit extracts page structure (site ID, navigation,
headings, interactive elements, text blocks) as structured JSON for agent-side
UX behavioral analysis. Pure data extraction — the agent applies the 6 usability
tests and makes judgment calls. Element caps: 50 headings, 100 links, 200
interactive, 50 text blocks.
New snapshot flag: -H/--heatmap accepts a JSON color map mapping ref IDs to
colors (green/yellow/red/blue/orange/gray). Extends existing snapshot -a
annotation system with per-ref colors instead of hardcoded red. Color whitelist
validation prevents CSS injection. Composable — any skill can use it.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix: adversarial review fixes for ux-audit and heatmap
Security:
- Remove live form value extraction from ux-audit (leaked input field values)
- Add ux-audit to PAGE_CONTENT_COMMANDS (untrusted content wrapping)
Correctness:
- Scope youAreHere selector to nav containers (was matching animation classes)
- Validate heatmap JSON is a plain object (string/array/null produced garbage)
- Use textContent instead of innerText for word count (avoids layout computation)
- Remove dead url variable and unused LINK_CAP constant
Found by Codex + Claude adversarial review.

* feat: add gstack-settings-hook for atomic Claude Code hook management
DRY helper for adding/removing SessionStart hooks in ~/.claude/settings.json.
Handles missing files, deduplication, malformed JSON, and atomic writes
(.tmp + rename) to prevent corruption on crash or disk-full.
Part of team-install-mode feature (credit: Jared Friedman).
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* feat: add gstack-session-update for automatic team updates
SessionStart hook target that auto-updates gstack at session start.
Background fork (zero latency), throttled to once/hour, with lockfile
(mkdir + PID), stale lock recovery, GIT_TERMINAL_PROMPT=0, and debug
logging to ~/.gstack/analytics/session-update.log.
Part of team-install-mode feature (credit: Jared Friedman).
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* feat: add --team, --no-team, -q flags to setup
--team enables auto_upgrade and registers SessionStart hook via
gstack-settings-hook. --no-team reverses it. -q/--quiet suppresses
all informational output (for hook-triggered setup runs). --local
now prints a deprecation warning.
Replaces ~20 echo calls with log() helper for quiet mode support.

* feat: add gstack-team-init for repo-level team bootstrapping
Two modes: 'optional' (gentle CLAUDE.md suggestion) and 'required'
(CLAUDE.md enforcement + .claude/hooks/check-gstack.sh PreToolUse hook
that blocks work without gstack installed). Atomic JSON writes,
idempotent, prints git add instructions.

* feat: add includeSkills to HostConfig + update OpenClaw config
Add includeSkills allowlist field with union logic (include minus skip).
Update OpenClaw to generate only 4 native methodology skills (office-hours,
plan-ceo-review, investigate, retro). Remove staticFiles.SOUL.md reference
(pointed to non-existent file).
* feat: OpenClaw integration — gstack-lite/full generation + spawned session detection
Add includeSkills filter to gen-skill-docs pipeline. Generate gstack-lite
(planning discipline for spawned coding sessions) and gstack-full (complete
feature pipeline) for OpenClaw host. Add OPENCLAW_SESSION env var detection
in preamble for spawned session auto-detect. Update setup --host openclaw
to print redirect message.
* docs: OpenClaw architecture doc + regenerate all SKILL.md with spawned session detection
Add docs/OPENCLAW.md with 4-tier dispatch routing and integration architecture.
Generate gstack-lite and gstack-full prompt templates. Regenerate all SKILL.md
files with OPENCLAW_SESSION env var check in preamble.

* fix: skill invocation during plan mode takes precedence over generic plan mode
Adds a "Skill Invocation During Plan Mode" section to the preamble resolver so
all generated SKILL.md files include it. Fixes a bug where Claude treats loaded
skill content as reference material instead of executable instructions, and keeps
trying to ExitPlanMode instead of following the skill workflow step by step.

* feat: interactive /plan-devex-review with persona, benchmarks, and forcing questions
Complete rewrite of the DX review skill to match CEO/eng review depth. New flow:
investigate (persona, empathy, competitors, magical moment, journey tracing) then
force decisions, then score with evidence. Three modes: DX EXPANSION, DX POLISH,
DX TRIAGE. 20-45 interactive STOP points vs 10-12 before.

New {{DX_FRAMEWORK}} resolver provides compact (~150 lines) shared content
for /plan-devex-review and /devex-review: Addy Osmani's 8 DX principles,
7 characteristics table, 10 cognitive patterns, scoring rubric, and TTHW
benchmarks. Hall of Fame examples loaded on-demand per pass to avoid bloat.

* feat: /plan-devex-review skill — DX plan review with Osmani framework
Plan-stage developer experience review. Rates 8 DX dimensions 0-10:
getting started, API/CLI/SDK design, error messages, docs, upgrade path,
dev environment, community, and DX measurement. Includes developer empathy
simulation, auto-detect product type with applicability gate, DX scorecard
with trend tracking, and a conditional Claude Code Skill DX checklist.
Hall of Fame examples loaded on-demand per pass from dx-hall-of-fame.md.

* feat: /devex-review skill — live DX audit with browse
Live-system developer experience audit using browse tool. Tests all 8
dimensions aligned with /plan-devex-review for boomerang comparison
(plan said 3 min TTHW, reality says 8). Each dimension marked TESTED,
INFERRED, or N/A with evidence. Scope-aware: declares what browse can
and cannot test, falls back to file artifacts for untestable dimensions.

* feat: session timeline binaries (gstack-timeline-log + gstack-timeline-read)
New binaries for the Session Intelligence Layer. gstack-timeline-log appends
JSONL events to ~/.gstack/projects/$SLUG/timeline.jsonl. gstack-timeline-read
reads, filters, and formats timeline data for /retro consumption.
Timeline is local-only project intelligence, never sent anywhere. Always-on
regardless of telemetry setting.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* feat: preamble context recovery + timeline events + predictive suggestions
Layers 1-3 of the Session Intelligence Layer:
- Timeline start/complete events injected into every skill via preamble
- Context recovery (tier 2+): lists recent CEO plans, checkpoints, reviews
- Cross-session injection: LAST_SESSION and LATEST_CHECKPOINT for branch
- Predictive skill suggestion from recent timeline patterns
- Welcome back message synthesis
- Routing rules for /checkpoint and /health
Timeline writes are NOT gated by telemetry (local project intelligence).
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* feat: /checkpoint + /health skills (Layers 4-5)
/checkpoint: save/resume/list working state snapshots. Supports cross-branch
listing for Conductor workspace handoff. Session duration tracking.
/health: code quality scorekeeper. Wraps project tools (tsc, biome, knip,
shellcheck, tests), computes composite 0-10 score, tracks trends over time.
Auto-detects tools or reads from CLAUDE.md ## Health Stack.

R1-R3 marked shipped with actual versions. R4 becomes Adaptive Ceremony
(trust as separate policy engine, scope-aware, gradual degradation). R5
becomes /autoship (resumable state machine, not linear chain). R6-R7
unbundled from old R5. Added State Systems reference, Risk Register
(Codex-reviewed), and validation metrics for R4.

* refactor: remove dead contributor mode, replace with operational self-improvement slot
Contributor mode never fired in 18 days of heavy use (required manual opt-in
via gstack-config, gated behind _CONTRIB=true, wrote disconnected markdown).
Removes: generateContributorMode(), _CONTRIB bash var, 2 E2E tests, touchfile
entry, doc references. Cleans up skip-lists in plan-ceo-review, autoplan,
review resolver, and document-release templates.
The operational self-improvement system (next commit) replaces this slot with
automatic learning capture that requires no opt-in.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* feat: operational self-improvement — every skill learns from failures
Adds universal operational learning capture to the preamble completion protocol.
At the end of every skill session, the agent reflects on CLI failures, wrong
approaches, and project quirks, logging them as type "operational" to the
learnings JSONL. Future sessions surface these automatically.
- generateCompletionStatus(ctx) now includes operational capture section
- Preamble bash shows top 3 learnings inline when count > 5
- New "operational" type in generateLearningsLog alongside pattern/pitfall/etc
- Updated unit tests + operational seed entry in learnings E2E
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* feat: wire learnings into all insight-producing skills
Adds LEARNINGS_SEARCH and/or LEARNINGS_LOG to 10 skill templates that
produce reusable insights but were previously disconnected from the
learning system:
- office-hours, plan-ceo-review, plan-eng-review: add LOG (had SEARCH)
- plan-design-review: add both SEARCH + LOG (had neither)
- design-review, design-consultation, cso, qa, qa-only: add both
- retro: add SEARCH (had LOG)
13 skills now fully participate in the learning loop (read + write).
Every review, QA, investigation, and design session both consults prior
learnings and contributes new ones.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* test: add operational-learning E2E test (gate-tier)
Validates the write path: agent encounters a CLI failure, logs an
operational learning to JSONL via gstack-learnings-log. Replaces the
removed contributor-mode E2E test.
Setup: temp git repo, copy bin scripts, set GSTACK_HOME.
Prompt: simulated npm test failure needing --experimental-vm-modules.
Assert: learnings.jsonl exists with type=operational entry.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix: learnings-show E2E slug mismatch — seed at computed slug, not hardcoded
The test seeded learnings at projects/test-project/ but gstack-slug computes
the slug from basename(workDir) when no git remote exists. The agent's search
looked at the wrong path and found nothing.
Fix: compute slug the same way gstack-slug does (basename + sanitize) and
seed the learnings there.

New skill that takes approved design-shotgun mockups and generates
production-quality HTML with Pretext for computed text layout. Text
reflows on resize, heights adjust to content, zero hardcoded CSS.
Includes vendored Pretext bundle (30KB), smart API routing per design
type, AskUserQuestion refinement loop, framework detection, and
3-viewport verification screenshots.
