Stacked Prs
This handles the mechanics of creating dependent pull requests where each PR builds on the previous one, not main. It's overkill for most work, but when you're shipping a complex feature that needs logical separation and parallel review, the numbered branch convention (feature/001-base, feature/002-next) keeps things clear. The real value is in the rebase chain management and PR description templates that explain dependencies. The skill defaults to regular main-based PRs unless you explicitly ask for stacking, which is the right call since stacked PRs require comfort with rebasing and force-pushing. If your team doesn't already do this workflow, the learning curve probably isn't worth it for a one-off feature.

Stacked Pull Requests
Overview
Stacked PRs are dependent pull requests where each PR builds on the previous one. Use this pattern for complex features that need logical separation and parallel review.
When to Use
✅ Use Stacked PRs When:
- User explicitly requests "stacked PRs" or "dependent PRs"
- Large feature needs to be split into logical phases
- Each phase has clear dependencies on previous phases
- User is comfortable with rebase workflows
❌ Use Main-Based PRs When (Default):
- Features are independent
- Simple bug fixes or enhancements
- Multiple agents working in parallel
- User doesn't specify preference
DEFAULT: Always prefer main-based PRs unless user explicitly requests stacking.
Branch Naming Convention
Use sequential numbering to show dependencies:
feature/001-base-authentication # PR-001 (base)
feature/002-user-profile # PR-002 (depends on 001)
feature/003-admin-panel # PR-003 (depends on 002)
Alternative patterns:
auth/01-foundation
auth/02-user-flow
auth/03-admin-features
