Team of specialist AI workflows for Claude Code with CEO review, engineering planning, code review, shipping, QA testing, and browser automation

Instructions onlyAI & Agents Software Development

AI-generated overview

Provides eight specialist Claude Code workflows for product planning, code review, shipping, QA testing and browser automation.

What it does: This skill supplies a set of opinionated slash-command workflows that make Claude Code act as specialist roles: CEO product review, engineering architecture planning, paranoid code review, one-command branch shipping, systematic QA testing, browser automation, browser cookie/session import, and engineering retrospectives. It produces planning documents, architecture and test matrices, review findings, pull requests, browser screenshots and QA coverage reports, and retrospective notes saved to a .context/retros/ directory. It also documents installation, configuration, CI integration and troubleshooting steps.
When to use it: Use it when a team wants structured, role-based workflows around a software feature lifecycle, from product validation and architecture planning through code review, QA testing and release. It suits projects using Claude Code that want repeatable planning, review, shipping and browser-based testing commands. It is also relevant for running retrospectives over git history.
Requirements: Requires Claude Code, Git, Bun v1.0+, and macOS or Linux (x64/arm64) for browser automation. Installation clones a repository and runs a setup script; browser automation uses isolated browser data under .gstack/ and can import cookies from Chrome, Arc, Brave or Edge. The skill ships no scripts of its own beyond the documented setup and browse binaries.

gstack Workflow Assistant

Skill by ara.so — Daily 2026 Skills collection

Transform Claude Code from a generic assistant into a team of specialists you can summon on demand. Eight opinionated workflow skills that act as CEO, Engineering Manager, Release Manager, and QA Engineer with slash commands for planning, review, shipping, and testing.

What It Does

gstack provides specialized AI personas and workflows:

CEO Review: Rethink problems and find the 10-star product hiding in requests
Engineering Planning: Lock in architecture, data flow, and edge cases
Code Review: Paranoid staff engineer-level review that catches production bugs
Release Management: One-command shipping with tests and PR creation
QA Testing: Automated browser testing with screenshots and systematic coverage
Browser Automation: Give AI eyes to click through your app and catch breakage
Session Management: Import real browser cookies for authenticated testing
Team Retrospectives: Engineering manager-style retros with per-person insights

Configuration

Browser Settings

gstack creates isolated browser instances in .gstack/ directory:

typescript

// Automatic browser configuration{  userDataDir: '.gstack/browser-data',  headless: false, // for debugging  viewport: { width: 1280, height: 720 },  timeout: 30000}

// Automatic browser configuration{  userDataDir: '.gstack/browser-data',  headless: false, // for debugging  viewport: { width: 1280, height: 720 },  timeout: 30000}

The skills work by providing specialized prompts and browser automation tools that transform Claude Code into domain experts. Each workflow enforces specific cognitive modes - CEO strategic thinking, engineering rigor, paranoid review, or systematic testing - instead of generic assistance.
