Orchestrates GitHub pull request draft statuses to streamline the review process for stacked changes.
The Stacked PR Manager skill automates the complex workflow of managing dependent pull requests on GitHub. It ensures that only the bottom-most PR in a stack is marked as 'Ready for Review,' keeping downstream PRs in 'Draft' mode to prevent reviewer confusion. When a base PR is merged, the skill automatically handles rebasing the next branch onto main, updating the PR base, and promoting it to an open status. This maintains a clean development pipeline and ensures reviewers only focus on actionable code that is ready for merging.
