This Skill resolves the issue of sprawling, messy commit histories in pull requests that occur during iterative development, ensuring the final history is clean and reviewable without altering the proposed changes.
Ask the gardener to retcon the current pull request to clean up the commit history while preserving the net diff.

To clean up a messy pull request commit history, you can reset the branch to its base and restage the existing net diff into a linear, logically grouped sequence. This regroups commits by package and separates lockfile updates for better readability.
Restructuring commit history does not alter the final code changes when invariant verification is enforced. The process verifies that the final tree state remains byte-identical to the pre-retcon state, guaranteeing no functional changes are introduced.
The best way to separate lockfile updates from source code commits is to use an automated refactoring script that restages the net diff. This enforces per-package commit structures and isolates lockfile changes into their own dedicated commits.
You can reorganize git commits by package without losing work-in-progress changes by resetting the pull request branch to its base and restaging the existing net diff. The operation preserves all accumulated fixups and interleaved changes.
Yes, you need active project worktrees to reorganize commits by package. The restaging process operates on these worktrees to enforce per-package commit structures and verify that the final tree state remains byte-identical to the original state.
