Key Concept

gstack turns Claude Code into a virtual engineering team via 23 slash commands following a strict pipeline: Think → Plan → Build → Review → Test → Ship → Reflect. Each step produces artifacts the next step reads.

What We Integrated

Added development pipeline to AGENTS.md with 7-step process plus security review and post-ship doc requirements.

What We Could Still Add

• Formalized security audits (OWASP + STRIDE) as a skill
• Auto-fix in code reviews
• Weekly retro cron job
• Stale docs detection

What We Already Do Better

• Persistent agents with memory vs ephemeral sessions
• Multi-agent coordination vs 1 agent playing roles
• 24/7 operation via OpenClaw
• Paper.design MCP for visual design
• Second Brain for cross-session knowledge
