What are stacked PRs?

Stacked PRs are a technique where a large feature is broken into a series of small, dependent pull requests that build on each other, making them easier to review.

Does it update the PR descriptions?

Yes, it can update PR bodies to include stack position context, helping team members understand the dependency chain (e.g., 'PR 2 of 4').

How does this skill prevent reviewer confusion?

It keeps all downstream PRs in 'Draft' status, ensuring reviewers only see the specific PR that is currently ready for review and merge.

Does it handle branch rebasing automatically?

Yes, when a base PR is merged, the skill fetches the latest changes, rebases the next branch in the stack onto main, and pushes the updates.

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.
