At a glance
- Purpose
- A port of the pstack skill stack to Claude Code, Codex, Pi and GitHub Copilot, with poteto-mode to start a workflow from your goal.
- Runs in
- Local agent with shell
- Operating systems
- Not stated
- Needs
- Runtime: GitHub CLI for PR tools; Needs internet: Yes; Needs accounts or API keys beyond your agent: Not stated
- Files and data
- Reads files: Yes; Writes files: Yes; Sends data to other services: Not stated
- Tool type
- Skill
- Delivery
- From GitHub
- Version
- Latest on the main branch
- Access
- Code on GitHub
- Compatibility
- According to the README: Claude Code, Codex, Pi, GitHub Copilot (the Copilot CLI and the GitHub Copilot app), Prime Agent, OpenCode and Gemini CLI, plus skills-only installs for any harness. The README names Copilot CLI 1.0.87 through 1.0.92 for its Copilot build.
- External costs
- The repository is MIT-licensed and states no pricing. Your coding agent or model provider may charge for usage.
- Permissions
- The skills act through your coding agent with the access you give it. According to the README, scripts run locally and PR tools use your GitHub CLI login. The README says the plugin installs routing hooks on Claude Code, Codex and GitHub Copilot, with Codex requiring trust through /hooks; setup-pstack can turn automatic routing off. The README says Copilot CLI and the Copilot app share ~/.copilot and reuse model selections in later sessions, and describes a standing-instruction alternative in ~/.copilot/copilot-instructions.md. The README says the Pi extension injects routing instructions and adds subagent, question and wake-up tools plus /loop.
- Usage terms
- MIT License, as stated in the repository. See its LICENSE file for the exact terms. The README says the port, with its modifications and additions, is MIT-licensed, that the original pstack and the imported cursor-team-kit skills carry separate copyright lines, and it points to LICENSE-cursor-team-kit and NOTICE.md.

What it does
pstack is a stack of skills for coding agents. According to the README, the original is Lauren Tan's opinionated Cursor skill stack, and this repository is a port for Claude Code, Codex, Pi, GitHub Copilot and other agent harnesses. The README says it tracks upstream and carries named policy forks declared in tools/forks.json.The README says poteto-mode invokes a workflow from your goal. For bugs, the README describes reproducing the failure, investigating with how and why, delegating the fix and rerunning the failing case. The README names playbooks for planning, features, refactoring, performance issues, investigations, prototypes, PR maintenance, shipping and longer projects.
The repository contains skills under plugins/pstack/skills. The README's overview names architect, arena, swarm, interrogate, how, why and unslop. The README says setup-pstack configures model defaults and reasoning effort per role and can turn automatic routing off. For concurrency bugs and invariants beyond tests, the README points to the separate agent-formal-verify plugin.
Who it is for
Developers who use Claude Code, Codex, Pi, GitHub Copilot or similar agent harnesses and want a set of workflow skills for coding tasks.Example tasks
Ask poteto-mode to fix a bug, such as a search filter that resets when you change pages.Investigate a bug with the how and why skills.
Plan and delegate a change with architect, arena or swarm.
Run setup-pstack to set model defaults and a reasoning effort per role.
Ask poteto-mode for a playbook such as refactoring, performance work or PR maintenance.
