What is the best way to manage dependencies when breaking down a massive pull request?▼

Managing dependencies when breaking down a massive pull request involves mapping inter-PR relationships. This Skill identifies dependencies between proposed splits and presents a mergeable table, ensuring correct sequential merging order.

Can I analyze a 1000-line pull request that mixes refactoring and new features?▼

Yes, you can analyze a 1000-line pull request mixing refactoring and new features. The Skill categorizes changes into refactors, utilities, package restructuring, features, and documentation, suggesting a logical split into manageable units.

How does pull request splitting improve code review quality?▼

Pull request splitting improves code review quality by ensuring each PR is focused and manageable. Breaking down large, complex changes into smaller units allows reviewers to understand specific logical changes better and faster.

Do I need to manually categorize code changes before proposing a split strategy?▼

No, you do not need to manually categorize code changes before proposing a split strategy. The Skill automatically analyzes the scope, categorizes the changes, and identifies dependencies to present a logical breakdown strategy.

When should I avoid splitting a pull request into multiple smaller PRs?▼

You should avoid splitting a pull request when changes are tightly coupled and cannot be logically separated into refactors, utilities, or features without breaking functionality. The Skill's dependency mapping helps identify these scenarios.
