gstack (Garry Tan)
119K+ stars — the most viral Claude Code config ever (66K in its first 3 weeks). Shows how a non-engineer CEO uses AI to ship products solo.
Y Combinator CEO Garry Tan's Claude Code configuration. 23 slash commands that turn Claude into a virtual team: CEO, Designer, Eng Manager, Release Manager, Doc Engineer, and QA roles.
- Run Claude as a virtual team with CEO, designer, and QA roles
- Ship features fast using opinionated slash command workflows
- Delegate to role-based agents for design, engineering, and release
119K+ stars — the most viral Claude Code config ever (66K in its first 3 weeks). Shows how a non-engineer CEO uses AI to ship products solo. Polarizing but influential reference for AI-assisted development patterns.
Solo founders and small teams who want an opinionated, ship-fast Claude Code setup. Adapt the patterns rather than copying wholesale — some commands skip manual review.

Things to check
- Highly opinionated workflow designed for one person shipping fast. Some commands encourage skipping manual review. Not suitable for teams with established code review processes.
