## Shared preamble (load first)

This skill follows gstack shared preamble `4e82fa4c839f` (AskUserQuestion format, voice, writing, completeness and completion rules). If your Read of that file, headed by this id, is still in context, do not read it again; otherwise Read `~/.claude/skills/gstack/design-review/sections/preamble.md` in full before the command below.

defaults: treat `SESSION_KIND` as `interactive`, do NOT assume Conductor,

the user to run `./setup` or `/gstack-upgrade`, and proceed with their task.
Note `SESSION_ID` and `TEL_START` from the output — the Telemetry step needs
them at skill end.

**Instruction blocks:** the output may contain
`GSTACK_INSTRUCTION_BEGIN: <id> <session-id>` … `GSTACK_INSTRUCTION_END`
blocks — one-time onboarding and consent directives whose runtime gates fired.
Follow each before continuing, then proceed with the user's task. Honor a
