Graphite Stacked PRs

Use this skill for stacked PR workflows with gt.

Scope Guard (required)

This skill applies only when the current repository is Graphite-enabled.

1. Verify Graphite is enabled (works for normal repos and git worktrees):

git rev-parse --is-inside-work-tree >/dev/null 2>&1 && \
test -f "$(git rev-parse --git-common-dir)/.graphite_repo_config"

1. If the file does not exist:
   • Stop using this skill.
   • Use normal git workflow (git commit, git push, git rebase, etc.).
   • Tell the user Graphite is not enabled in this repo.

Do not run gt commands in repos that fail this check.

Coordinator / Workmux Compatibility

This skill must work in delegated background flows (for example /coordinator, /worktree, or workmux send ...).

• In delegated/autonomous runs, do not block on direct user approvals.
• Still plan the stack before coding, but proceed after presenting the plan in output.
• Choose reasonable defaults when details are missing and keep moving.
• Ask a question only when blocked by a true ambiguity or missing secret/credential.

Stack Planning

Before implementation, define a small PR stack:

• One logical change per PR/branch
• Each PR should be independently testable
• Keep PRs focused and reviewable

Suggested plan format:

PR Stack for <feature>
1. <pr-1-name>: <goal>
2. <pr-2-name>: <goal>
3. <pr-3-name>: <goal>

In interactive sessions, ask for confirmation only if the stack shape is materially ambiguous.

Command Mapping

When Graphite is enabled, prefer gt over direct git branch/stack operations:

• New PR/branch: gt create -am "<message>"
• Update current PR: gt modify -a
• Submit stack: gt submit --no-interactive
• Sync/restack: gt sync (or gt restack when needed)
• Switch branch: gt checkout <branch>

Use standard git commands for read-only inspection as needed (git status, git diff, git log).

Create vs Modify

• Use gt create -am "..." for a new atomic step in the stack.
• Use gt modify -a for follow-up edits to the current PR (review feedback, missed files, fixes).

Daily Stack Workflow

gt sync
# implement next atomic step
gt create -am "feat: <message>"
# repeat for next steps
gt submit --no-interactive

Conflict Handling

If gt sync/gt restack conflicts:

1. Inspect what changed in both sides.
2. Auto-resolve straightforward conflicts (formatting/import order/whitespace).
3. Resolve semantic conflicts carefully to preserve intent.
4. Continue with:

gt continue -a

If recovery is needed:

gt abort

Navigation and Reorganization

• Inspect stack: gt log, gt ls
• Move through stack: gt up, gt down, gt top, gt bottom
• Reorganize: gt move --onto <branch>, gt split, gt fold, gt squash, gt reorder

Output Expectations

• Keep users informed of stack shape and current branch position.
• Return Graphite stack/PR links when available.
• Be explicit when falling back to standard git because Graphite is not enabled.
