What problem does it solve?
This skill orchestrates the end-to-end, sequential implementation of a multi-plan repository rewrite by turning each plan into a focused branch and PR, ensuring each change is typechecked, tested, reviewed, and merged before proceeding while preserving progress across session compaction.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Sequential plan execution: Implements Plans 48 through 55 one at a time, creating branches named rewrite/plan-{NUMBER}-{SLUG} and pushing safe, targeted commits.
- Checkpointed persistence: Stores pipeline progress in a JSON state file to resume after compaction or interruptions.
- Safe PR workflow: Runs typechecks and tests, stages specific files, creates PRs with verification checklists, runs automated reviews, and babysits CI and review feedback until merge.
- Error handling & recovery: Provides rebase/merge conflict guidance, CI failure diagnosis and retry logic, and escalation rules for stalled or blocked PRs.
- Use case: Automating a large refactor across multiple coordinated plans so human attention is only required for true blockers or ambiguous reviews.
