Work with GitHub stacked pull requests (gh stack) in the team's repos. Put a branch on the right stack, commit, push and open its PR with the "Stacked on" banner, fix a merge conflict on the one branch that has it, and walk a stack bottom to top. Use whenever the user says "on the stack", "add it to the stack", "open a PR on the stack", "fix the conflict", or pastes GitHub's stacked-PR conflict steps.

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

# Stacked PRs

This team ships most work as a stack of pull requests managed with `gh stack` (`vcs.stacking: gh-stack` in the roost config). Each PR is based on the branch below it, so a mistake in one place shows up in every PR above it. Getting this right quickly matters more than explaining it.

**First, load the team config with `roost-config`.** This skill uses `vcs`, `repos` and `deploy`.

**With `vcs.stacking: none`,** there are no stacks: every branch starts from `main` and is its own PR against `main` ("Without stacking" in `roost-config`). Skip every `gh stack` step and "One deploy per stack", and publish a change this way instead, with the rules below, the commit and PR title rules, and the Release order comment as usual:

```bash
git switch -c <branch> origin/main        # or from the branch it needs, if it needs one
# commit (signed, if required)
git push -u origin <branch>
gh pr create --base main --title "…" --body "…"   # add "Waits for #<PR>." when it started from another branch
```

When the branch it started from merges, rebase it onto `main` (`git rebase --onto origin/main <that branch> <branch>`), force-push with lease, and drop the "Waits for" line.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add beakpoint-insights/roost/stacked-prs@sha256:5cc22d83b320f637

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261026.505a1da, 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.
