Trigger: PRs over 400 lines, stacked PRs, review slices. Split oversized changes into chained PRs that protect review focus.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
## Activation Contract Load this skill when a planned PR may exceed **400 changed lines**, an ODD feature's forecast or running authored changed-line count from work-unit commits exceeds about 400, or the user asks for chained/stacked PRs, review slices, or reviewer-load control. ## Hard Rules - Split PRs over **400 changed lines** unless a maintainer explicitly accepts `size:exception`. - The budget constrains how work is **sliced**, never the code itself. Never delete comments, blank lines, docs, or tests, and never compress or restyle code, to fit under the budget. - Slicing is bounded: make **one** honest slicing pass. If no cohesive split brings every slice within budget, stop iterating, keep the best cohesive split, and report the final line count with a `size:exception` recommendation. - Keep each PR reviewable in about **≤60 minutes**. - Use one deliverable work unit per PR; keep tests/docs with the unit they verify. - State start, end, prior dependencies, follow-up work, and out-of-scope items in every chained PR. - Every child PR must include a dependency diagram marking the current PR with `📍`. …

How to install
mdr add gentleman-programming/gentle-ai/chained-pr@sha256:8aba3c6ec9411851The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
