A gstack submodule bump added `spec` (v1.47) and the iOS device-farm
5-skill set (v1.43) but gstack `./setup` was never re-run, leaving all 6
as source-only — unlinked, invisible to Claude and untouched by
reset/`gstack on`.
- Link `spec` only, surgically: skills/spec/SKILL.md symlink matching
gstack setup's per-skill pattern (real dir + absolute SKILL.md link).
Platform-agnostic, useful planning skill. Added to full + web-full
profiles (must be in the active `full` profile or `set full` would
re-disable it).
- iOS skills deliberately NOT linked: this is a Linux host, and the iOS
device-farm needs a Mac daemon + Tailscale + physical iOS devices.
Linking them would add 5 dead skills plus passive token cost.
- Complete the .gitignore gstack allowlist: add the 12 entries missing
from it — `spec`, the 5 `ios-*` (so they stay ignored if a future
setup on a Mac materializes them), and 6 already-parked skills
(document-generate, landing-report, scrape, setup-gbrain, skillify,
sync-gbrain). The parked ones matter because `gstack on` moves parked
skills into skills/, where any allowlist gap becomes untracked git
noise. Also drop the stale `skills/checkpoint` entry (renamed to
context-save).
Verified: `profile show full`/`web-full` report spec enabled; the
source-vs-allowlist drift check is now empty; profile.sh still parses.
The gstack submodule pointer bump itself is left uncommitted (separate
pending work).
Memory: BLK-007 -> resolved; LRN-025 (gitignore allowlist must cover all
toggleable skills incl. parked, else enabling one = git noise).

## BLK-001 — `rtk curl` returns compressed schema in pipes
|
|
|
|
- **Date**: 2026-04-22
|
|
- **Friction**: pipelines like `rtk curl ... | python -c "json.load(sys.stdin)"` (or `jq`, `awk`) fail without clear error.
|
|
- **Real cause**: `rtk curl` auto-compresses stdout regardless of TTY — documented in `.claude/tasks/rtk-upstream-issue.md`.
|
|
- **Solution**:
|
|
- Short-term workaround: `exclude_commands=["curl"]` in `~/.config/rtk/config.toml`.
|
|
- Alternative workaround: use `rtk proxy`.
|
|
- Upstream fix: issue reported, see `.claude/tasks/rtk-upstream-issue.md`.
|
|
- **Status**: upstream (`rtk` bug, workaround applied).
|
|
|
|
## BLK-002 — `rmdir` denied in sandbox on empty directory
|
|
|
|
- **Date**: 2026-04-23
|
|
- **Friction**: couldn't delete `./tasks/` after emptying (post-migration to `.claude/tasks/`). `rmdir tasks` and `rm -r tasks` returned "Permission denied" even with empty dir and non-destructive intent.
|
|
- **Real cause**: Claude Code sandbox blocks destructive commands (`rm`, `rmdir`, `rm -rf`) by default via harness permission gate, regardless of actual semantics. `git rm` through `git` passed (commit `c721a36`) — git treated as non-destructive tool.
|
|
- **Solution**:
|
|
- This session: `git rm tasks/*.md` handled files individually (via `git rm`, cleared gate). Git auto-detected renames to `.claude/tasks/`, so `tasks/` directory removed implicitly at commit time.
|
|
- If dir persists empty after `git rm`: ask user to run `rmdir tasks` manually.
|
|
- **Status**: resolved (fixed via `git rm` + rename auto-detection; no `rmdir` needed in practice).
|
|
## BLK-003 — `scripts/screenshot.mjs` hardcoded macOS path blocks PNG cards on Linux
|
|
|
|
- **Date**: 2026-05-12
|
|
- **Friction**: `/darwin-skill` Phase 3 generates result cards via `node ~/.agents/skills/darwin-skill/scripts/screenshot.mjs <html> <png>`. On Linux: script fails immediately — `require('/Users/alchain/.npm-global/lib/node_modules/playwright/node_modules/playwright-core')` resolves to a non-existent macOS user path. No PNG cards produced; Phase 3 falls back to markdown report only.
|
|
- **Real cause**: upstream `alchaincyf/darwin-skill` author dev'd on macOS, shipped absolute path to their own homedir's global npm install of playwright. Zero portability layer (no PATH lookup, no `playwright` bare require, no fallback to `npx`).
|
|
- **Solution**:
|
|
- Workaround (used 2026-05-12): skip PNG generation, deliver markdown + HTML cards (HTML viewable in browser without playwright).
|
|
- Local patch: `npm i -g playwright` then replace `require('/Users/alchain/...')` with `require('playwright')`. Two lines edit.
|
|
- Spec-documented fallback: `npx playwright screenshot "file:///path/to/card.html#<theme>" out.png --viewport-size=960,1280 --wait-for-timeout=2000` — works without modifying the file, costs ~150MB chromium download.
|
|
- PR upstream to `github.com/alchaincyf/darwin-skill` once tested.
|
|
- **Status**: upstream (third-party skill at `~/.agents/skills/darwin-skill/scripts/screenshot.mjs`, not in any of our repos).
|
|
|
|
## BLK-004 — `/ship-feature` wrapper references 6 deleted agent files
|
|
|
|
- **Date**: 2026-05-20
|
|
- **Friction**: `/ship-feature` invocation loads wrapper at `~/.claude/commands/ship-feature.md`. Wrapper says `Load and follow strictly: .claude/agents/{ship-feature,analyzer,designer,implementer,reviewer,tester}.md`. 5 of 6 paths missing on disk (only `analyzer.md` survives). User hits blocker — wrapper without orchestrator.
|
|
- **Real cause**: refactor commits `0241e1d` ("extract skill logic into standalone agent files") + `21960e0` ("changed orchestrators into skills") migrated orchestrator from `.claude/agents/ship-feature.md` into `~/.claude/skills/ship-feature/SKILL.md` and replaced custom sub-agents (designer/implementer/reviewer/tester) with superpowers skills (brainstorming, writing-plans, subagent-driven-development, requesting-code-review, finishing-a-development-branch). Wrapper at `~/.claude/commands/ship-feature.md` never updated, never deleted. Untracked file — survived all refactor commits silently.
|
|
- **Solution**: `rm ~/.claude/commands/ship-feature.md`. Skill `~/.claude/skills/ship-feature/SKILL.md` (`name: ship-feature`, `disable-model-invocation: true`) becomes sole `/ship-feature` resolver. SKILL.md references only existing agents: `plugin-advisor.md`, `analyzer.md`, `doc-syncer.md`.
|
|
- **Status**: resolved.
|
|

## BLK-005 — `/profile set full` warns `missing: checkpoint` after gstack upstream rename
|
|
|
|
- **Date**: 2026-05-21
|
|
- **Friction**: `/profile set full` (and dev, backend, web, web-full) emits `⚠ missing: checkpoint — try: bash link.sh`. Running `bash link.sh` reports `✅ All symlinks already up to date. Next: bash install-plugins.sh` — dead-end loop. User cannot resolve the warning by following the suggested next step.
|
|
- **Real cause**: gstack upstream renamed the `checkpoint` skill to `context-save` (Claude Code now treats `/checkpoint` as a native rewind alias, shadowing the gstack skill). New skill in `skills-external/gstack/context-save/SKILL.md` carries the description `"Formerly /checkpoint — renamed because Claude Code treats /checkpoint as a native rewind alias"`. Five `lib/profiles/*.profile` files still listed the dead name. `link.sh` only symlinks repo dirs into `~/.claude/` — it cannot materialize a skill that no longer exists upstream, so its suggested action was misleading.
|
|
- **Solution**: `s/checkpoint/context-save/` in `lib/profiles/{dev,backend,full,web,web-full}.profile` (commit `69c5ded`). `CLAUDE.md:193` routing line `Save progress, checkpoint, resume → invoke context-save` updated locally, left uncommitted because the file holds unrelated in-progress graphify section work. Verify: `bash lib/profile.sh set full` now outputs `✓ enabled: context-save` with no warning.
|
|
- **Status**: resolved.
|
|
|
|
## BLK-006 — `bash lib/profile.sh current` false-negative when invoked via `~/.claude/lib/` symlink
|
|
|
|
- **Date**: 2026-05-21
|
|
- **Friction**: `bash "$HOME/.claude/lib/profile.sh" current` returns `none (all gstack skills enabled — no profile set)` even when a profile IS applied + 14 `gstack__*` entries sit in the repo's `skills-disabled/`. User cannot detect active profile via the official command. Same script invoked from inside the repo directory (`bash lib/profile.sh current`) returns the correct answer — invocation-path-dependent behavior is the worst kind of bug to diagnose.
|
|
- **Real cause**: `lib/profile.sh:43` set `REPO="$(cd "$(dirname "${BASH_SOURCE[0]}")/.." && pwd)"`. Default bash `cd` preserves symlinks (logical pathname mode, `set -P` off). When the script is invoked via the `~/.claude/lib/profile.sh` symlink (link.sh wires `~/.claude/lib -> <repo>/lib`), `$BASH_SOURCE[0]` is the symlinked path, `dirname` returns `~/.claude/lib`, `cd ..` lands at `~/.claude`, and `pwd` returns the logical path `/home/bchanot-ubuntu/.claude`. `$SKILLS_DIR="$REPO/skills"` still works because `~/.claude/skills` happens to be a symlink to the repo's `skills/`. But `$DISABLED_DIR="$REPO/skills-disabled"` resolves to `~/.claude/skills-disabled` — a real sibling directory created at some earlier point containing only 2 stale npx-skill symlinks (`darwin-skill`, `find-skills`). `cmd_current` scans this near-empty dir, finds 0 `gstack__*` entries, returns the "none" sentinel.
|
|
- **Solution**: `REPO="$(cd -P "$(dirname "${BASH_SOURCE[0]}")/.." && pwd)"` (commit `a4558ee`). `-P` forces physical-path resolution so `$REPO` is always the real repo path regardless of how the script is invoked. Verify: `bash "$HOME/.claude/lib/profile.sh" current` now returns `full (100% match, 14 gstack skills disabled)`.
|
|
- **Status**: resolved. Follow-up: `~/.claude/skills-disabled/` (real dir with only `darwin-skill`/`find-skills` symlinks) is orphaned — these npx skills are already symlinked into `<repo>/skills/` by link.sh, so the disabled-side copies serve no purpose. Could be deleted to remove confusion, but harmless as-is.

## BLK-007 — 6 gstack source skills (ios-*, spec) unlinked — invisible to profile system + `gstack on`
|
|
|
|
- **Date**: 2026-06-02
|
|
- **Friction**: `skills-external/gstack/` has 53 source skills; 6 (`ios-clean`, `ios-design-review`, `ios-fix`, `ios-qa`, `ios-sync`, `spec`) exist ONLY as source — NOT symlinked into `skills/` (enabled) nor `skills-disabled/gstack__*` (parked). So invisible to Claude AND untouched by `reset`/`gstack on` (both operate on parked `gstack__*` only). Surfaced while adding `gstack on|off`: `comm` of gstack source vs `full.profile`.
|
|
- **Real cause**: gstack submodule bump added new skills; gstack's own `./setup` (source of truth for per-skill symlinks per link.sh) not re-run → symlinks never created. Same lifecycle gap class as [[toggle-external-source-only-state]] (LRN-007). NOT a `full.profile` bug — full curated by design (BDR-017 caveat: "full excludes rarely-used gstack skills"). Initial "full omits ios = bug" flag was WRONG, self-corrected (see EVAL-002).
|
|
- **Solution applied** (NOT full `./setup` — surgical, no side effects): (1) Linked `spec` only — `mkdir skills/spec` + `ln -snf <abs>/skills-external/gstack/spec/SKILL.md skills/spec/SKILL.md`, matching gstack setup:440-476 (per-skill real dir + SKILL.md symlink, name from frontmatter). (2) Added `spec` to `full.profile` + `web-full.profile` planning sections (must be in active profile `full` else `set full` re-disables it). (3) iOS 5 skills deliberately NOT linked — Linux host, device-farm needs Mac daemon + Tailscale + iOS devices = dead skills + token cost. (4) Completed `.gitignore` gstack allowlist: added all 12 missing (`spec`, 5 `ios-*`, 6 parked `document-generate/landing-report/scrape/setup-gbrain/skillify/sync-gbrain`), removed stale `checkpoint` (BLK-005 rename). Reason: `gstack on` (BDR-018) moves parked skills into `skills/` — any gstack skill missing from allowlist = untracked git noise on enable.
|
|
- **Verified**: `profile show full`+`web-full` → spec enabled; allowlist drift recheck EMPTY; spec skill now visible to Claude.
|
|
- **Status**: resolved. iOS = intentional exclusion (re-linkable via gstack `./setup` on a Mac). See [[gstack-gitignore-allowlist-completeness]] (LRN-025).
