GSTACK Engineers
What gstack gives us
A curated stack of Claude Code skills, agents, and slash commands β installed in one go instead of plugin-by-plugin.
How to run it
Open a fresh terminal (NOT inside Claude Code), paste the command above, hit enter. Restart Claude Code to load.
Troubleshooting β common errors
"destination path already exists" β partial install from last time. Run rm -rf ~/.claude/skills/gstack then retry.
"command not found: git" β Git isn't installed. See section 3.
"No such file or directory" β you're probably in PowerShell. Switch to Git Bash; ~/ doesn't expand the same way in PowerShell.
Pasted into Claude Code's chat instead of terminal? Use ! prefix inside Claude Code to run shell commands without leaving.
- Cloned the repo successfully
- Setup script completed
- Verified β
