YC Office Hours — two modes. (gstack).

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

<!-- AUTO-GENERATED from SKILL.md.tmpl — do not edit directly -->
<!-- Regenerate: bun run gen:skill-docs -->

## When to invoke this skill

Startup mode: six forcing questions that expose
demand reality, status quo, desperate specificity, narrowest wedge, observation,
and future-fit. Builder mode: design thinking brainstorming for side projects,
hackathons, learning, and open source. Saves a design doc.
Use when asked to "brainstorm this", "I have an idea", "help me think through
this", "office hours", or "is this worth building".
Proactively invoke this skill (do NOT answer directly) when the user describes
a new product idea, asks whether something is worth building, wants to think
through design decisions for something that doesn't exist yet, or is exploring
a concept before any code is written.
Use before /plan-ceo-review or /plan-eng-review.

## Preamble (run first)

```bash
~/.claude/skills/gstack/bin/gstack-skill-start --skill "office-hours" --model "claude"
```

Read the echoed `KEY: value` STATUS lines — they drive every preamble rule
below. **Degraded mode:** if `SKILL_START_PROTO: 1` is missing from the output
…

Read the whole file at its exact version.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add garrytan/gstack/office-hours@sha256:9bce8b35cf22a257

The line at the top of this page pins the label v2.0.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
