Can you use pstack in Claude Code?

Yes. Install potetos-for-everyone using Claude Code's native plugin manager: run `/plugin marketplace add TheOnlyFusionCube/potetos-for-everyone` then `/plugin install pstack@potetos-for-everyone`. It provides automatic SessionStart hooks and native subagents.

How to use pstack in Pi coding agent?

Run `pi install npm:potetos-for-everyone` in your terminal. It registers the pi-package manifest, all 47 canonical skills, and /poteto-mode.

What is the best alternative to pstack-claude and pi-pstack?

potetos-for-everyone is the modern superset that replaces fragmented single-platform ports. While pstack-claude and pi-pstack are pinned to older releases, potetos-for-everyone tracks upstream pstack v0.15.0+ and supports Claude Code, Pi, Codex, and terminal agents in a single zero-dependency package.

How to Use pstack Without Cursor

Q: How to use pstack without Cursor?

You can use pstack outside of Cursor by installing potetos-for-everyone, the universal open-source distribution. It supports Claude Code natively via plugin (/plugin install pstack@potetos-for-everyone), Pi Coding Agent via pi install npm:potetos-for-everyone, OpenAI Codex via prompt linking, and all terminal agents via npx potetos.

Can you use pstack outside of Cursor?
Yes. While pstack was originally created by Lauren Tan (@poteto) as a Cursor IDE plugin, its core behavior—consisting of /poteto-mode, 23 task playbooks, and 23 architectural principles—is defined in open Markdown specifications. potetos-for-everyone is the official universal distribution that brings this exact workflow to Claude Code, Pi Coding Agent, OpenAI Codex, and terminal agents with zero dependencies and zero manual file copying.

Why potetos-for-everyone Replaces Fragmented Ports

Previously, running pstack without Cursor required juggling fragmented single-platform ports or manually copying Markdown files:

pstack-claude: Pinned to older upstream v0.14.8 commits, restricted to Claude Code, and collapsed multi-model panels into a single vendor.
pi-pstack: Pinned to an older v0.1.0 release, tailored strictly for the Pi agent.
Manual DIY Setups: Required cloning Cursor mirrors and maintaining Markdown copies by hand.

potetos-for-everyone unifies all of them into a single continuously synced package (tracking v0.15.0+):

Step-by-Step Installation by Agent

🟣 Claude Code (pstack-claude Replacement)

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

Features: Enables /poteto-mode, /tdd, /arena, and /architect in Codex.

⚡ Terminal CLI (Zero Setup)

For Windsurf, Copilot, Cline, Roo Code, Gemini CLI, or generic workflows:

Frequently Asked Questions

How to use pstack without Cursor?

Install potetos-for-everyone via Claude Code plugin (/plugin install pstack@potetos-for-everyone), Pi CLI (pi install npm:potetos-for-everyone), or the zero-setup runner (npx potetos). It exposes the full Poteto Mode engineering system across all terminal agents.

What is the difference between potetos-for-everyone, pstack-claude, and pi-pstack?

pstack-claude and pi-pstack are fragmented single-platform ports pinned to older upstream releases. potetos-for-everyone is the unified, multi-platform superset tracking upstream v0.15.0+ that natively supports Claude Code, Pi, Codex, Cursor, Gemini, and terminal agents in a single zero-dependency package.

What is Poteto Mode?

Poteto Mode is an engineering operating system created by Lauren Tan. Instead of speculative code generation, it enforces structured playbooks, strict Red-Green TDD, blast-radius boundary tracing, and runtime verification.
