gstack-upgrade

A manually triggered skill for upgrading gstack, a collection of coding-agent tools, to its latest version. It checks how gstack was installed and reports what changed.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when you want to update gstack, check for a newer version, or review the changes introduced by an upgrade.
Why use it?
It provides a defined upgrade path and can preserve the previous installation if an automatic upgrade fails.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade C, and why

gstack-upgrade scanned grade C with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured yesterday.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Recursive force deletehighDestructive command

rm -rf with a variable or a broad path is one typo away from removing the wrong tree.

/gstack-upgrade

Upgrade gstack to the latest version and show what's new.

Inline upgrade flow

This section is referenced by all skill preambles when they detect UPGRADE_AVAILABLE.

Step 1: Ask the user (or auto-upgrade)

First, check if auto-upgrade is enabled:

_AUTO=""
[ "${GSTACK_AUTO_UPGRADE:-}" = "1" ] && _AUTO="true"
[ -z "$_AUTO" ] && _AUTO=$(~/.claude/skills/gstack/bin/gstack-config get auto_upgrade 2>/dev/null || true)
echo "AUTO_UPGRADE=$_AUTO"

If AUTO_UPGRADE=true or AUTO_UPGRADE=1: Skip AskUserQuestion. Log "Auto-upgrading gstack v{old} → v{new}..." and proceed directly to Step 2. If ./setup fails during auto-upgrade, restore from backup (.bak directory) and warn the user: "Auto-upgrade failed — restored previous version. Run /gstack-upgrade manually to retry."

Otherwise, use AskUserQuestion:

  • Question: "gstack v{new} is available (you're on v{old}). Upgrade now?"
  • Options: ["Yes, upgrade now", "Always keep me up to date", "Not now", "Never ask again"]

If "Yes, upgrade now": Proceed to Step 2.

If "Always keep me up to date":

~/.claude/skills/gstack/bin/gstack-config set auto_upgrade true

Tell user: "Auto-upgrade enabled. Future updates will install automatically." Then proceed to Step 2.

If "Not now": Write snooze state with escalating backoff (first snooze = 24h, second = 48h, third+ = 1 week), then continue with the current skill. Do not mention the upgrade again.

_SNOOZE_FILE=~/.gstack/update-snoozed
_REMOTE_VER="{new}"
_CUR_LEVEL=0
if [ -f "$_SNOOZE_FILE" ]; then
  _SNOOZED_VER=$(awk '{print $1}' "$_SNOOZE_FILE")
  if [ "$_SNOOZED_VER" = "$_REMOTE_VER" ]; then
    _CUR_LEVEL=$(awk '{print $2}' "$_SNOOZE_FILE")
    case "$_CUR_LEVEL" in *[!0-9]*) _CUR_LEVEL=0 ;; esac
  fi
fi
_NEW_LEVEL=$((_CUR_LEVEL + 1))
[ "$_NEW_LEVEL" -gt 3 ] && _NEW_LEVEL=3
echo "$_REMOTE_VER $_NEW_LEVEL $(date +%s)" > "$_SNOOZE_FILE"

Note: {new} is the remote version from the UPGRADE_AVAILABLE output — substitute it from the update check result.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
