## Description

pstack-claude is a plugin and skills pack for AI coding assistants. It bundles rigorous engineering workflows, step-by-step playbooks, routing hooks, model settings and subagent definitions, and translates them so the same content runs natively on many coding harnesses. Its skills are derived from upstream sources, with local forks and translations preserved and licensing provenance recorded.

The distinctive parts are cross-harness porting and multi-agent orchestration. Tool names, model names and subagent types are pretranslated into each runtime's equivalents before installation, so nothing is translated at runtime. Native installs are provided for Claude Code, Codex, GitHub Copilot, OpenCode, Kimi, Antigravity, Pi, Grok Build, OMP, Muse and MiniMax Code, among others. Work can be delegated to background specialist agents, each concurrent writer in its own git worktree. Parallel attempts can be fanned out and combined into one report. A review panel of models from different vendors stress-tests diffs, and a per-role override sheet sets the model and reasoning effort for each role.

Playbooks cover planning, features, test-first and evidence-backed bug fixes, refactoring, performance, investigations, prototypes and long multi-day efforts. Pull request skills watch review and CI, fix failures and merge conflicts, triage feedback, and prepare changes for merge. Other skills assess a change's blast radius, write and strip AI-sounding wording from docs, and build project-local formal verification skills that use TLA+ models and statecharts. A session-start hook routes non-trivial tasks into the workflow, and a setup skill toggles routing and configures models.

Consistency is enforced by generating shared facts from a single source into every committed file, with a pre-commit and CI check that fails on drift. Further checks validate skill definitions, model sheets, plans and cross-harness behavior.
