## Description

Configure which models pstack uses per role. Detects available models and writes the current runtime's override sheet. Use for /setup-pstack, "configure pstack models", changing pstack's model choices, or turning the SessionStart hook on or off.

# Setup pstack

On Codex, read the [platform mapping](../poteto-mode/references/codex-tools.md), including its per-skill notes, before following this skill.

On GitHub Copilot, read the [platform mapping](../poteto-mode/references/copilot-tools.md), including its per-skill notes, before following this skill.

On Muse, read the [platform mapping](../poteto-mode/references/muse-tools.md), including its per-skill notes, before following this skill.

On GitHub Copilot, follow [the Copilot setup](copilot.md) in place of steps 1, 3, 4, and 7 and step 6's header.

On another runtime, read [Other runtimes](#other-runtimes) below for where the sheet lives and how it loads; the steps are the same.

Write the current runtime's per-role model override sheet, using the path in [Other runtimes](#other-runtimes). Each pstack skill names a default model inline; the override sheet adapts those defaults to the models you actually have access to.

Claude Code has no auto-applied "rules" mechanism like Cursor's `.mdc`. The Claude Code config directory is `$CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR` when that variable is set and `~/.claude` otherwise. This skill calls it `<config>`. Inclusion is explicit: the user adds a line to `<config>/CLAUDE.md` (or their project `CLAUDE.md`) such as:

```text
@<config>/pstack-models.md
```

with `<config>` written as the resolved path, so the file is loaded as context for every session.

The Codex home directory is `$CODEX_HOME` when that variable is set and `~/.codex` otherwise. This skill calls it `<codex-home>`.

## Steps

### 1. Detect available models
