Global (installed with -g): ``bash npx skills add garrytan/gstack --skill design-consultation -g -y ``
Project (installed without -g): ``bash npx skills add garrytan/gstack --skill design-consultation -y ` > Claude Code: send either command as a chat message starting with !` to run it without leaving the conversation.
