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**, SDD forecasts `400-line budget risk: High` or `Chained PRs recommended: Yes`, 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`. - 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 `📍`. - In Feature Branch Chain, create a draft/no-merge tracker PR; child PR #1 targets the tracker branch, later children target the immediate parent branch. - Treat polluted diffs as base bugs: retarget or rebase until only the current work unit appears. - Do not mix chain strategies after the user chooses one. ## Decision Gates | Condition | Action | |---|---| | PR ≤400 changed lines and focused | Keep single PR. | | PR >400, each slice can land independently | Use Stacked PRs to main. | …

How to install
mdr add gentleman-programming/gentle-ai/gentle-ai-chained-pr@sha256:141f1c796a31239dThe 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.
