Use Garry Tan's exact Claude Code setup

Use Garry Tan's exact Claude Code setup: 23 opinionated tools that serve as CEO, Designer, Eng Manager, Release Manager, Doc Engineer, and QA.

Most people use Claude Code like a fancy autocomplete. Garry Tan — CEO of Y Combinator — uses it like a full engineering org: CEO, eng manager, staff engineer, QA, and release engineer, all running from the terminal.

His open-source setup, gstack, helped him ship ~10K lines of code and 100 PRs per week for 50 straight days. In this 4-hour hands-on workshop, you'll install his exact setup, run every skill end-to-end, and leave with a production-ready AI development workflow you can use Monday morning.

Workshop agenda

  • Install Garry Tan’s Exact Claude Code Setup

    Install and configure the full gstack workflow so Claude Code can act like a product, engineering, QA, and release team from your terminal.

  • Run a CEO-Level Product Review

    Turn a raw feature idea into a sharper plan by reviewing user value, scope, edge cases, and success criteria before writing a single line of code.

  • Architect and De-Risk the Build

    Use AI-powered engineering review to map implementation options, surface tradeoffs, identify risks, and decide what to build first

  • Build the Feature End-to-End with Claude Code

    Prompt, direct, and iterate with Claude Code to go from idea to working implementation using a structured workflow instead of ad hoc prompting.

  • Visually QA in the Terminal

    Test flows, catch broken states, and improve polish with fast visual QA loops that help you validate the product without leaving the terminal.

  • Ship the PR + Run the Retro

    Generate tests, prepare a clean PR, and run a structured retrospective so each session improves your workflow, judgment, and speed for next time.

Who this workshop is for

  • PMs, founders & CEOs who want to ship features themselves. Get a system that bakes product thinking into every build, not just code volume.

  • Non-technical builders
    who want to go from "it wrote some code" to shipping tested features end-to-end.

  • Engineers & developers who use Claude Code but lack a structured workflow. Stop writing ad-hoc prompts — start directing like an eng lead.
