gh-stack SKILL.md skillA

gh-stack from sd0xdev/sd0x-harness is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add sd0xdev/sd0x-harness/gh-stack@git:20260926.525302d

Pins git:20260926.525302d in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Native stacked pull requests through the github/gh-stack extension. Detects the extension, installs it only after the user approves, resolves the branch chain, and executes `gh stack link` / `gh stack push` / `gh stack submit --auto` under a per-use AskUserQuestion gate. Use when: opening or refreshing a native stack of PRs, linking existing PRs into a stack on GitHub, pushing a stack's branches, or when /create-pr --stack delegates the native path here. Not for: a single PR (use /create-pr)…

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

# GH Stack — Native Stacked PRs

**Read first**: `@skills/push-ci/references/authorization-contract.md` before any `gh stack` operation that pushes — § Push safety for the credential and the unshared attestation, § Efficacy Boundary for what the per-use approval authorizes. If that Read fails, stop and report it; run no pushing operation.

Wraps the `github/gh-stack` extension so a branch chain becomes a real **Stack** on GitHub — one PR per layer, chained bases, per-layer diff view, linked merges — instead of the hand-built chained-base PR set `/create-pr --stack` produces on its own.

## Authorization

```
⚠️ This skill is one of the four workflows Anchor Register #4 enumerates (@rules/discretion.md).
⚠️ It may execute exactly three subcommands of the extension — `gh stack link`, `gh stack push`,
   `gh stack submit --auto` — and nothing else from it, `gh stack view` included: `view` syncs PR
   metadata and writes it back into `.git/gh-stack`, so it is not a read. What this skill needs to
   read, it reads without the extension (the first row of the table below).
⚠️ All three push, and they do not push the same way. Read from the extension's source at v0.1.1

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add sd0xdev/sd0x-harness/gh-stack@sha256:d8a81ca05330e551

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260926.525302d, 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.
