A global Claude install of gstack used to carry every other agent's copy of the skills too, 632 skill files. Now it holds only the agents you installed, about a fourteenth of the size.

Scan size

Claude Code and Cursor-agent scan this skill tree

Neither agent was re-run against the trimmed tree. The figures are on-disk counts.

Claude Code and Cursor-agent both scan that folder, and Cursor-agent freezes above about eleven megabytes of skill files. The trimmed install is well under that. Neither agent has been retested against it yet.

Codex files

Codex and the other agents get every file their skills read

On Codex, Factory, Kiro, OpenCode, Cursor and Copilot, skills reached for files that setup never copied, and those reads failed silently. Review checklists and the question registry were among them. Codex went from ten missing files to one.

Cleanup

Setup moves old agent copies to a backup and keeps any file it didn't make

Files proven generated go to ~/.gstack/backups/host-renders/
Your own files stay where they are
Agents installed from the checkout stay on its record

Setup moves the other agents' copies into a backup, but only files it can prove it generated. Anything you edited stays put. The troubleshooting guide explains adding an agent back. Windows copy installs have only stubbed tests.
