Load when deciding whether to use gh stack or working on dependent, stacked GitHub pull requests.
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
## Choose the path - Fetch a named PR first. Inspect its base, head, and downstack PRs with the official GitHub MCP; a branch name or installed extension alone does not establish a stack. - Keep changes small and independently reviewable. Use `gh stack` when dependent PRs form a stack; one independent PR uses the normal GitHub workflow. The dotfiles repository deploys without PRs. - Check `gh stack --help` for extension availability and `gh stack view --json` for a locally tracked stack. If unavailable or untracked, do not assume stack metadata; inspect PRs through the MCP. Run CLI operations through Bash, not Eval. ## Build or maintain - Initialize local tracking only from a clean checkout whose branches are not checked out in other worktrees: `gh stack init --base <trunk> <bottom-branch> <next-branch> ...` adopts existing branches or creates missing ones in bottom-to-top order. `gh stack add <branch>` adds above the current layer. Verify branch ancestry and intended PR bases. - Create or edit individual PRs with the official GitHub MCP. Set the bottom PR base to trunk and each higher PR base to the branch below. Preserve existing draft and reviewer state. …

How to install
mdr add athal7/dotfiles/gh-stack@sha256:73920173407f974dThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261014.e6467ee, 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.
