+
+> **`potetos-for-everyone`** ports [Lauren Tan's](https://github.com/poteto) renowned **pstack** and **Poteto Mode** engineering workflow into a universal, zero-dependency skill tree that works across every major AI coding agent. It brings disciplined software engineering—reproduce first, minimal blast radius, strict TDD, runtime behavioral verification, and true parallel worktree execution—to Claude Code, Pi, Cursor, Codex, Gemini, Windsurf, Copilot, and beyond.
+
+> [!TIP]
+> **Looking to use pstack without Cursor?** You have found the universal, actively maintained solution.
+> Instead of juggling fragmented single-agent ports like `pstack-claude` (outdated v0.14.8) or `pi-pstack` (Pi only) or manually copying Markdown files into agent directories, **`potetos-for-everyone`** replaces them all with a single unified codebase:
+> - **Claude Code**: Native marketplace plugin (`/plugin marketplace add TheOnlyFusionCube/potetos-for-everyone`) with auto-firing `SessionStart` hooks.
+> - **Pi Coding Agent**: Native Pi package (`pi install npm:potetos-for-everyone`).
+> - **OpenAI Codex**: Native `.codex-plugin/` prompts (`/poteto-mode`, `/tdd`, `/arena`, `/architect`).
+> - **Any Terminal Agent**: One-command runner (`npx potetos`) with zero setup and zero dependencies.
+> - **Full Upstream Parity**: 100% synced with upstream **v0.15.0+** (`71ed0d1`) covering all 47 canonical skills, 23 playbooks, and 23 principles.
+
+> [!IMPORTANT]
+> **Credit where it belongs:** [pstack](https://github.com/cursor/plugins/tree/main/pstack) and **Poteto Mode** were created by **Lauren Tan ([@poteto](https://github.com/poteto))**. `potetos-for-everyone` is an independent, community-driven portability adaptation, not an official Lauren Tan or Cursor project. Upstream MIT notice and attribution are preserved in [LICENSE](LICENSE) and [NOTICE.md](NOTICE.md).

+
+## 🚀 How to Use pstack Without Cursor
+
+### Can You Use pstack Outside of Cursor?
+**Yes.** While the original pstack was authored as a Cursor plugin, its engineering core—consisting of `/poteto-mode`, structured task playbooks, and architectural principles—is specified in open Agent Skills format (`SKILL.md`). 
+
+**`potetos-for-everyone`** provides the official multi-platform bridge so you can run pstack seamlessly across terminal agents without needing Cursor:
+
+```mermaid
+flowchart TD

+    B --> G["📦 Vercel skills CLI (skills add)"]
+    B --> H["🌐 Windsurf / Gemini / Copilot / Cline"]
+```
+
+---
+
+### 1. Claude Code (The Modern `pstack-claude` Alternative)
+
+Install directly via Claude Code's native plugin manager:
+
+```shell
+/plugin marketplace add TheOnlyFusionCube/potetos-for-everyone
+/plugin install pstack@potetos-for-everyone
+```
+*(Aliases: `/plugin install poteto-mode@potetos-for-everyone` or `/plugin install pstack-claude@potetos-for-everyone`)*
+
+* **Automatic `SessionStart` Hook:** Once installed, Claude Code automatically activates poteto-mode guidance on session startup, `/clear`, and compact, ensuring disciplined engineering for non-trivial code changes.
+* **Native Subagents Included:** Automatically registers the `poteto-agent` and `comment-sicko` subagents in Claude Code.
+
+---
+
+### 2. Pi Coding Agent (The Modern `pi-pstack` Alternative)
+
+Install directly using the Pi CLI package manager:
+
+```shell
+pi install npm:potetos-for-everyone
+# or from GitHub:
+pi install git:github.com/TheOnlyFusionCube/potetos-for-everyone
+```
+
+* **Pi Package Discovery:** Declares `"pi-package"` and `"pi"` manifests in `package.json` so Pi auto-discovers all 47 skills and slash prompts.
+* **Role Mapping:** Works natively with Pi's model delegation and subagent architecture.
+* **Usage:** Trigger by typing `/poteto-mode` followed by your task.
+
+---
+
+### 3. OpenAI Codex (Plugin & Prompts)
+
+Codex discovers user skills from `~/.agents/skills/`. Clone or symlink the shared skill tree and Codex command prompts:
+
+```shell
+git clone https://github.com/TheOnlyFusionCube/potetos-for-everyone.git
+cd potetos-for-everyone
+mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills ~/.codex/prompts
+for s in skills/*/; do ln -s "$PWD/$s" ~/.agents/skills/"$(basename "$s")"; done
+for p in .codex-plugin/prompts/*.md; do ln -s "$PWD/$p" ~/.codex/prompts/"$(basename "$p")"; done
+```
+
+* **Slash Commands:** Enables native `/poteto-mode`, `/tdd`, `/arena`, `/architect`, `/babysit`, `/unslop`, and `/why` in Codex.
+* **Multi-Agent:** Enable subagents in `~/.codex/config.toml` (`[features] multi_agent = true`).
+
+---
+
+### 4. Zero-Setup Terminal CLI (`npx potetos`)
+
+For all other terminal agents (Windsurf, Copilot, Cline, Roo Code, Gemini CLI, Continue, or generic terminal workflows), run without installing any package dependencies:
+
+```shell
+npx potetos
+```
+*(or `npx potetos-for-everyone`)*
+
+* **Zero Manual File Copying:** Automatically detects your active agent environment and provisions `CLAUDE.md`, `GEMINI.md`, `AGENTS.md`, `.windsurf/`, `.clinerules/`, `.roo/`, and `.continue/` in seconds.
+* **Zero Runtime Dependencies:** Leaves your application codebase 100% untouched.
+
+---
+
+### 5. Vercel `skills` CLI (Universal Agent Skills)
+
+Install all 47 canonical skills directly into any project using the standard `skills` CLI:
+
+```shell
+npx skills add https://github.com/TheOnlyFusionCube/potetos-for-everyone --skill "*" --yes
+```
+
+---
+
+### 6. In Node.js / Web Projects (`devDependency`)
+
+```shell
+npm install --save-dev potetos-for-everyone
+# or: pnpm add -D potetos-for-everyone
+# or: bun add -d potetos-for-everyone
+# or: yarn add -D potetos-for-everyone
+```
+*Automatically installs and updates skills via `postinstall` into `.agents/skills`.*

+## What Poteto Mode Gives Your Agent
+
+`potetos-for-everyone` replaces speculative LLM behavior with disciplined, evidence-based software engineering:
+
+| Instead of… | Poteto Mode pushes toward… |
+| --- | --- |
+| guessing at the bug | **reproduce first, then explain it** |
+| editing the first plausible file | **trace blast radius and boundaries** |
+| giant speculative patches | **the smallest fix that explains the failure** |
+| "looks good to me" verification | **real evidence on the real surface** |
+| fake multi-agent consensus | **actual isolated workers when available** |

+
+## Real Parallel Workers (Git Worktree Isolation)
+
+Native subagents are preferred when available. If your host lacks native subagents or you want real multi-agent parallelism without file collisions, `potetos` includes an optional runner that fans out to **user-configured AI agent CLIs** with **isolated Git worktrees**:
+
+```bash
+python3 bin/potetos panel \
+  --workspace . \
+  --prompt "Review this change for correctness and hidden regressions" \
+  --isolate
+```
+
+`--isolate` provisions an isolated Git branch and worktree per worker. Reviewers and coders execute independently without trampling your active checkout. See [runtime/README.md](runtime/README.md).
+
+---
+
+## CLI Reference
+
+```text
+npx potetos          auto-install or refresh managed skills (zero setup)
+potetos install      install managed skills and agent shims
+potetos update       safely refresh an existing install without clobbering edits

+
+## Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
+
+### How do I use pstack without Cursor?
+Install `potetos-for-everyone`, which brings pstack and Poteto Mode to any non-Cursor environment:
+- **Claude Code**: `/plugin marketplace add TheOnlyFusionCube/potetos-for-everyone` then `/plugin install pstack@potetos-for-everyone`
+- **Pi Coding Agent**: `pi install npm:potetos-for-everyone`
+- **OpenAI Codex**: Clone and link prompts from `.codex-plugin/prompts/`
+- **Any Other Agent**: Run `npx potetos` in your repo
+
+### What is `pstack-claude` and how does `potetos-for-everyone` compare?
+`pstack-claude` was an early community port of Lauren Tan's pstack specifically targeting Claude Code. `potetos-for-everyone` is the complete, modern universal distribution that supersedes single-platform ports. It provides native Claude Code marketplace integration (`.claude-plugin/marketplace.json`), automatic `SessionStart` hooks, and custom subagents (`poteto-agent` and `comment-sicko`), while also supporting Pi, Cursor, Codex, Gemini, Windsurf, Copilot, and the Vercel `skills` CLI, fully tracking upstream pstack **v0.15.0+**.
+
+### What is `pi-pstack` and how does `potetos-for-everyone` compare?
+`pi-pstack` is a Pi-specific port of pstack. `potetos-for-everyone` natively supports Pi (`pi install npm:potetos-for-everyone`) through `"pi-package"` declarations in `package.json`, while tracking the latest upstream release (v0.15.0+) with all 47 canonical skills and 23 playbooks.
+
+### Can I migrate from `pstack-claude` or `pi-pstack` to `potetos-for-everyone`?
+**Yes, seamlessly.** `potetos-for-everyone` is a 100% drop-in superset. It registers the exact same skill names (`poteto-mode`, `tdd`, `arena`, `architect`, `unslop`, etc.) while adding missing upstream skills, latest playbooks, and multi-IDE compatibility.
+
+### What is Poteto Mode?
+**Poteto Mode** is an engineering operating system for AI coding agents created by **Lauren Tan**. Instead of letting an agent blindly edit code, Poteto Mode routes work into one of 23 structured playbooks (such as `bug-fix`, `perf-issue`, or `refactoring`), enforces strict Red-Green TDD, minimizes blast radius, and mandates concrete runtime verification.
+
+### How does this compose with frameworks like `superpowers`, `gstack`, and `ponytail`?
+`potetos-for-everyone` fits cleanly into the **5-Stack Engineering Lifecycle**:
+1. **gstack**: Product intent & CEO/founder review.
+2. **ponytail**: Architectural pruning & radical minimalism.
+3. **superpowers**: Specification teasing & TDD planning.
+4. **potetos-for-everyone / pstack**: Fearless parallel execution, poteto-mode rigor, and isolated worktree swarms.
+5. **ecc + gstack**: AST security review, browser QA, and release.
+
+### Does this add runtime dependencies to my application?
+**No.** `potetos-for-everyone` has **zero runtime npm dependencies**. It only provides markdown instructions, agent definitions, and development configuration into your environment.
+

+
+## Upstream & Credit
+
+This adaptation currently tracks [`cursor/plugins/pstack` at `71ed0d1`](https://github.com/cursor/plugins/commit/71ed0d1076fec562c1b74ee353121a8d00f75382) (v0.15.0).
+
+Host-specific mechanics are rewritten against the portability contract while preserving the workflow architecture, public skill names, engineering intent, and attribution.
+
+### Thank You, Lauren
+

+# Host adapters
+
+The canonical skills always live in `.agents/skills/`. Adapters are intentionally tiny: they only add the instruction file a host is likely to discover and point it back to the same canonical Poteto Mode skill.
+
+The one-line installer defaults to **all** supported shims so users do not have to know which path their agent expects. Use `POTETOS_AGENT=<name>` (bootstrap) or `--agent <name>` (CLI) to install only one specialized shim when repository minimalism matters more than instant cross-host use.
+
+Supported names are defined in [`registry.json`](registry.json). If an agent is not listed, the generated `AGENTS.md` is the universal fallback for any host that reads repository instructions; otherwise point the host directly at `.agents/skills/poteto-mode/SKILL.md`.
+
+Adapters must never fork behavior. A host-specific behavioral difference belongs in the portable capability contract or canonical skill, not in a second copy of a skill.

+# Comment Sicko
+
+My first output when spawned is exactly this:
+
+Yes... Ha ha ha... Yes!
+
+I hate comments. Feed me the parent scoped files or diff. If none exists, feed me the current diff against `main`. Narration, banners, commented-out corpses, workaround sermons. I want them all.
+
+Only these exceptions get to crawl away:
+- Legal or license headers.
+- Non-obvious behavior forced by an external dependency, platform, vendor, or protocol we cannot reshape. Surprises in our own code are meat. Kill them and mark the exact symbol `MUST KILL` for rename, extract, type, or rearchitecture that makes the behavior obvious without prose.
+- `// prettier-ignore`. Lint suppressions survive only when their rule is faulty, pedantic, or style-only.
+- Doc comments that define a public API contract.
+- Issue or RFC links that explain a constraint code cannot express.
+
+That list is my only leash. When I am not sure a keep clause applies, the comment dies. Everything else is meat.
+
+`eslint-disable`, `@ts-ignore`, `@ts-expect-error`, and similar suppressions stink. Look up the rule. If it catches real bugs or protects correctness or safety, kill the suppression and mark the exact guilty symbol `MUST KILL`.
+
+`IMPORTANT`, `do not remove`, `too risky`, `fine for now`, and long justifications are scent, not conviction. Before judging, I read nearby code. If its claim is not obvious there, I run `/how`, `/why`, or both from the **how** and **why** skills on the named symbol or call. Only a foreign keep-list gotcha proven true today on a live path crawls away. Our-code surprises die with the reshape flag above. Doubt after the hunt is meat.
+
+A long justification without a proven keep-list exception is a confession. Kill it. Never polish meat into a shorter alibi. Mark the exact guilty symbol `MUST KILL`. My kill ends there. I do not touch the code.
+
+Every flag names code inside the scope and tells the truth. I invent nothing. I touch comments and identify refactor targets. I never write application code.
+
+Report only. Name touched files, deletion count, `MUST KILL` flags with one line each, and skips.

+You are operating as poteto-mode's full agent style. Read the `poteto-mode` skill's `SKILL.md` in full before doing any work, including its inline Principles index.
+
+1. **Classify before acting**: Select the matching playbook from `skills/poteto-mode/playbooks/` and follow it.
+2. **Model the domain**: Name data shapes and constraints before writing non-trivial implementation code.
+3. **Minimize blast radius**: Prefer the smallest correct change that directly addresses the root cause.
+4. **Verifiable execution**: Work in atomic, verifiable units with clear verification criteria.
+5. **No self-certification**: The parent session owns integration, regression checking, and final judgment. Return artifacts, evidence, changed files, and remaining uncertainty to the parent.
