All Markdown skills plus power tools — README counts 23 specialists and eight power tools. Install: `git clone … ~/.claude/skills/gstack && ./setup` (needs Claude Code, Git, Bun); `./setup --host codex|opencode|cursor|factory|kiro|copilot` for other harnesses (experimental tier). Team mode bootstraps a repo so teammates get it. Telemetry is opt-in and every off-machine send writes a local receipt (`gstack-egress list`). ★~135k.","theCatch":"Blast radius: browser skills drive your real logged-in sessions (Aside on macOS) or import cookies from Chrome/Brave/Arc into its bundled browser — treat `/setup-browser-cookies` and the sidebar agent like handing over your accounts. 135k stars in ~7 months — rank on the workflows, not the counter. Claude Code is the only “full” tier; other hosts are advisory, and outside reviews expect Codex/Claude CLIs signed in. Team mode auto-updates every session (throttled hourly) — pin if you need reproducible agents. Vs mattpocock-skills / agent-skills / superpowers: those are smaller composable packs; gstack is a whole opinionated org chart with a browser runtime.","verdict":"MIT opinionated Claude Code software factory when a solo founder wants plan→review→QA→ship roles out of the box — heavy setup and real-session browser power; pin it and audit what it can log into.","addedAt":"2026-10-05","featured":false,"domain":"AI Agents","subSpecialty":"Agents","subcategory":"Security","tags":["self-host","permissive","coding-agents","security","active","fast-stars"],"capabilities":["browser"],"surfaces":["Self-host"],"ecosystem":["Multi-platform"],"licenseModel":"OSS/MIT","githubStars":136877,"starsPerWeek":4305,"access":"free","archived":false,"repo":{"createdAt":"2026-03-11","pushedAt":"2026-10-19","license":"MIT","archived":false,"checkedAt":"2026-10-19"}},"related":[{"slug":"claude-code","name":"Claude Code","tagline":"Terminal-first coding agent with deep repository context"},{"slug":"cursor","name":"Cursor","tagline":"The AI-first code editor that understands your codebase"},{"slug":"devin","name":"Devin","tagline":"Autonomous AI engineer for defined engineering tasks"},{"slug":"stagehand","name":"Stagehand","tagline":"AI-native browser automation that mixes code and natural language"},{"slug":"browser-use","name":"Browser Use","tagline":"Open-source framework for LLM-driven browser agents"}],"links":{"self":"/api/gems/gstack","html":"/gems/gstack","markdown":"/gems/gstack.md","category":"/api/gems?category=agents","categoryPage":"/stacks/agents"}}
