gstack-planning▌

YC Office Hours with two modes. Startup mode asks six forcing questions around demand reality, status quo, specificity, wedge, observation, and future-fit. Builder mode is for side projects and open source. It saves a design doc and is intended to run before implementation work.

Engineering-manager style review that hardens the plan around architecture, boundaries, state transitions, edge cases, tests, and diagrams before coding starts.

Orchestrates CEO, design, eng, and DX reviews from disk and applies internal decision principles to auto-progress the plan, surfacing only taste-sensitive decisions at the end.

DevEx review for developer-facing products. It explores personas, benchmarks onboarding, and scores friction across APIs, CLIs, SDKs, libraries, docs, and platform flows.

Lets users tune how often gstack asks certain planning questions and inspect the psychographic/developer profile inferred from prior interactions.

Interactive design-plan review that scores design quality, identifies unresolved UX issues, and improves the plan before anyone ships UI.

Founder-mode review that asks what product is really being built, not just what feature was requested. Supports scope expansion, selective expansion, hold-scope, and scope-reduction modes.
