Individual skill

stacked-prs

Split large changes into reviewable stacked pull requests, maintain fixes in their owning slice, and land the stack in dependency order. Use when splitting a large branch or PR, updating a PR stack after review, carrying fixes through dependent branches, or merging stacked PRs on GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, or another Git host.

# Stacked PRs

Requires Git, Bash 3.2+, and Python 3.9+ for coverage. Host operations need authenticated CLI, API, or connector access.

A stacked PR set turns one large change into N small PRs that are reviewed and merged in order. This skill covers the whole life of a stack:

| Phase | Starts with | Ends with | Details |
|---|---|---|---|
| **0. Detect** | Any request about a stack | What exists, and which phase to start | Below |
| **A. Split** | One branch (often already a PR) with all the changes: the **reference** | N slice branches, an optional integration branch, and N open PRs | `references/splitting.md` |
| **B. Maintain** | Open PRs getting reviews | Every fix in the PR that owns the code and carried up the stack | Below, steps B0–B6 |
| **C. Land** | Approved PRs | Everything on the base, no PR closed by accident, branches cleaned up | `references/landing.md` |
| **Changes** | A stack whose shape must change | The stack in its new shape | `references/changes.md` |
