vstack

A small personal toolkit for AI coding with Claude Code. A persistent headless browser plus a tight set of high-leverage skills, no marketing prose, no remote telemetry, no auto-update checks.

/browse         persistent browser for QA, screenshots, dogfooding
/office-hours   shape an idea before coding
/sketch         translate an approved design into PPP-level pseudocode
/investigate    root-cause debugging
/review         pre-landing diff review
/qa             browser-driven test-and-fix loop
/design-audit   designer's eye visual audit driven by /browse
/quiz           five questions to surface gaps in your mental model
/simplify       sweeping audit for yuck and dead code
/ship           git add + commit + push to main, no PR
/connect-chrome visible Chrome with the side panel
/retro          weekly engineering retrospective

Install

Requires Claude Code, Git, and Bun v1.0+.

git clone --single-branch --depth 1 https://github.com/vedthebear/vstack ~/.claude/skills/vstack
cd ~/.claude/skills/vstack && ./setup

Then add a vstack section to your project's CLAUDE.md listing the skills above and noting that /browse from vstack is the only browser tool to use (never mcp__claude-in-chrome__*).

Update

cd ~/.claude/skills/vstack && git pull && ./setup

There is no auto-upgrade and no version check. Pull when you want.
