gstack 1.91.158.0 lets you switch off the plan-mode preamble in every skill

1 hour ago

gstack 1.91.158.0 for Claude Code: a new plan_mode_preamble setting leaves the plan-mode sections out of every installed skill, about 1.6 KB each across 50 Claude skills, for people who never use plan mode. It applies on the next setup run and defaults to on. Also: gstack-relink now refreshes the router alias after re-rendering the router.

gstack skills can now leave out the plan mode preamble, for anyone who never uses plan mode. Turn the new setting off, and 50 Claude skills each drop about one point six kilobytes.

Setup

The choice applies on your next setup run

Off: every host’s skills render without the two plan-mode sections
On, the default: every skill file stays byte-for-byte the same

Switching it off takes effect on your next setup run, which renders every host's skills without the two plan mode sections. Leave it on, the default, and nothing changes.

Hosts

It matters for the hosts that have a plan mode

Claude, Copilot, OpenCode lose the sections
Other hosts already render them empty
“PLAN MODE EXCEPTION” commands keep their marker

That means Claude, Copilot and OpenCode, the hosts with a plan mode. The others already render those sections empty. Commands flagged as plan mode exceptions keep their always run marker.

Fix

gstack-relink now refreshes the router alias after it rebuilds the router

stale aliaswith disabled skills, it listed every skill until the next relink

One fix rides along. gstack-relink now refreshes the router alias after rebuilding the router. Before, if you had disabled skills, the alias kept listing all of them until the next relink.
