gstack — AI Engineering System

Garry Tan's open-source virtual engineering team: plan, design, review, QA, and ship with Claude Code and other agents.

gstack turns AI coding agents into a structured engineering org — office hours for product thinking, multi-perspective plan reviews, design consultation, pre-landing code review, browser QA, security audits, and release automation. Run skills as slash commands in Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, or OpenClaw. All skills are MIT-licensed from [garrytan/gstack](https://github.com/garrytan/gstack).
