Can I use this with the GitHub CLI?

Yes, the skill integrates with the gh CLI to automate updating PR base branches and checking PR status across the entire stack.

What are stacked pull requests?

Stacked PRs are a series of small, dependent pull requests that build on each other, making large features easier to review and merge incrementally.

Is it safe to rebase a whole stack at once?

Yes, the included scripts create automatic backups of your branches and use --force-with-lease to ensure you don't overwrite remote changes accidentally.

How does this skill help with merge conflicts?

It provides scripts to rebase the entire stack sequentially and offers recovery workflows using git reflog if a rebase goes wrong.

When should I avoid using stacked PRs?

Avoid them for very small features, tightly coupled changes that can't be logically separated, or when working on simple solo projects without code reviews.

Manages complex git workflows by breaking large features into a sequence of smaller, dependent pull requests for faster reviews.

The Git Stacked PRs skill provides a comprehensive framework for implementing 'stacked diffs' within Claude Code. It enables developers to decompose massive features into a chain of logical, dependent pull requests that are easier to review, test, and merge. By providing automated scripts for rebasing entire stacks, updating PR targets after merges, and recovering from rebase errors via reflog, this skill streamlines the overhead typically associated with managing multiple interdependent branches.
