SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Coordinating review feedback across multiple dependent pull requests can be error-prone and time-consuming; this skill automates the stacked PR review loop to maintain a linear history and reduce manual handoffs.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Orchestrates parallel review loops across a chain of dependent PRs.
  • Manages review statuses, escalations, and base-to-tip retargeting to keep branches coherent.
  • Handles merge conflicts gracefully and preserves rebase-merge compatibility through structured sequencing.

Quick Start

Initiate the stacked PR review loop by opening the base PRs in the stack (base to tip) and allow the orchestrator to coordinate reviews, retargeting, and escalation handling.

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate review loops for stacked pull requests?▼

Automating stacked pull request reviews requires an orchestrator to sequence dependent PRs from base to tip, coordinate parallel dev agent reviews, and manage status signaling like REVIEW_CLEAN. This maintains linear history and reduces manual handoffs across the chain.

What is the best way to manage dependent GitHub PR branches?▼

Managing dependent GitHub PR branches requires an orchestrated pipeline that handles base-to-tip retargeting and branch syncing after merges. This keeps branches coherent and preserves rebase-merge compatibility across the stacked PR chain.

How does stacked PR review coordination handle merge conflicts?▼

Stacked PR review coordination handles merge conflicts gracefully through structured sequencing within the orchestrator pipeline. It preserves rebase-merge compatibility by managing review statuses and escalations across the dependent branch chain.

Can I recover from rebase-merge failures in a stacked PR workflow?▼

Recovering from rebase-merge failures in a stacked PR workflow is supported by the orchestrator's structured sequencing and retargeting logic. It manages branch syncing and escalation handling to restore linear history across dependent PRs.

When do I need to retarget stacked PR branches?▼

Retargeting stacked PR branches is needed after merges to keep dependent branches coherent and maintain linear history. The orchestrator handles base-to-tip retargeting automatically during the review loop coordination process.

Do I need multiple dependent PRs to use stacked PR review automation?▼

Stacked PR review automation applies to workflows involving two or more dependent PRs. If your workflow requires syncing branches after merges or coordinating review feedback across a chain, this orchestration pipeline is designed for that scenario.
