Does it support automatic merging?

It provides a controlled merge order utility that waits for CI checks to pass and merges PRs from the bottom up, automatically updating the base of the next PR in the stack to the main branch.

How does this skill handle rebasing?

The skill identifies all dependent PRs in a stack and can automatically perform sequential rebases and force-pushes with lease to ensure the entire chain stays synchronized when the base branch changes.

What is a stacked PR?

A stacked PR is a workflow where a series of pull requests are created in a chain, with each PR depending on the code in the one before it. This allows large features to be reviewed in smaller, logical increments.

Can I visualize my current PR dependencies?

Yes, the skill includes a visualization utility that generates an ASCII tree map, showing exactly how your branches and pull requests are nested relative to the main branch.

Collaboration Tools

Streamlines complex Git workflows by automating the creation, synchronization, and merging of dependent pull request chains.

Stacked PR Management empowers developers to decompose large, complex features into a sequence of small, reviewable pull requests that build upon one another. By automating the tedious aspects of branch dependency tracking, rebasing, and sequential merging, this skill ensures a clean commit history and faster review cycles. It provides essential tools for visualizing PR hierarchies, validating merge orders, and automatically updating downstream branches when base changes occur, making it an essential utility for high-velocity engineering teams working on multi-layered features.
