Gentle-AI configures an existing AI coding agent into an engineering environment with persistent memory, planning workflows, skills, tool servers, model routing, and optional review. Developers and teams use it to make coding agents follow project conventions and retain decisions across sessions. The catalogue entries are its skills, commands, agents, and instruction.
Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00032 | $0.00696 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00016 | $0.00348 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00006 | $0.00139 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00070 |
Grade A, and why
chained-pr scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 4d ago.
A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.
Nothing flagged
None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

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. - 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:exceptionrecommendation. - 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. |
| PR >400, feature must integrate before main | Use Feature Branch Chain with tracker. |
| Generated/vendor/migration diff cannot split cleanly | Ask maintainer for size:exception. |
| No cohesive split fits the budget after one slicing pass | Stop; deliver the best split, report the overage and why it cannot shrink further, and recommend size:exception. |

What ships with it
1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
What this file has done since we first saw it
Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

chained-pr is a skill published in the GitHub repository Gentleman-Programming/gentle-ai (6,301 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 32 tokens to every session and 696 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
Other skills, from other repositories
memorix-memory
Use when prior workspace context, past decisions, solved bugs, handoff state, or durable project knowledge would help a coding task.
memorix
Use when Claude Code needs Memorix shared memory, reasoning, Git Memory, mini-skills, session handoff, orchestration coordination, or integration troubleshooting.
memorix-mini-skills
Use when durable project knowledge, gotchas, workflows, or repeated fixes should become reusable agent guidance instead of ordinary memory.
memorix-orchestrate
Use when a main agent needs Memorix to coordinate explicit subagent work through tasks, handoffs, messages, file locks, or the orchestrate CLI.
memorix-troubleshooting
Use when Memorix MCP, setup, project binding, HTTP control plane, hooks, skills, or agent integration is missing, stale, or failing.
memorix-git-memory
Use when the task depends on commit history, what changed, when a fix shipped, or linking engineering evidence to reasoning memory.
