Then substitute the token you saw for TASK_TOKEN and run (best-effort), and mark activated: -```bash -~/.claude/skills/gstack/bin/gstack-telemetry-log --event-type first_task_scaffold_shown --skill "TASK_TOKEN" --outcome shown 2>/dev/null || true -touch ~/.gstack/.activated 2>/dev/null || true -``` - -If `ACTIVATED` is `no` but `FIRST_TASK:` is empty or `nongit` (headless, non-git, or nothing actionable): show nothing, just run `touch ~/.gstack/.activated 2>/dev/null || true`. - -Else if `ACTIVATED` is `yes` AND `FIRST_LOOP_SHOWN` is `no`: say once as a heads-up (then continue): - -> Tip: gstack pays off when you complete one loop — **plan → review → ship**. A common first loop: `/office-hours` or `/spec` to shape it, `/plan-eng-review` to lock it, then `/ship`. - -Then run `touch ~/.gstack/.first-loop-tip-shown 2>/dev/null || true`. - -Skip this section if `ACTIVATED` and `FIRST_LOOP_SHOWN` are both `yes`. - -If `HAS_ROUTING` is `no` AND `ROUTING_DECLINED` is `false` AND `PROACTIVE_PROMPTED` is `yes`: -Check if a CLAUDE.md file exists in the project root. If it does not exist, create it. - -Use AskUserQuestion: - -> gstack works best when your project's CLAUDE.md includes skill routing rules. - -Options: -- A) Add routing rules to CLAUDE.md (recommended) -- B) No thanks, I'll invoke skills manually - -If A: Append this section to the end of CLAUDE.md: - -```markdown - -## Skill routing - -When the user's request matches an available skill, invoke it via the Skill tool.

Render EVERY decision brief as the **prose form** below and STOP. This is proactive, not a reaction to a failure: Conductor disables native AUQ and its MCP variant is flaky (it returns `[Tool result missing due to internal error]`), so prose is the reliable path. **Auto-decide preferences still apply first:** if a `[plan-tune auto-decide] →
