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 | $0.00035 | $0.00699 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00017 | $0.00349 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00007 | $0.00140 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00070 |
Grade A, and why
gentle-ai-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 2d 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.
This is a copy
100% identical to chained-pr — 2 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 54 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
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.

gentle-ai-chained-pr is a skill published in the GitHub repository Gentleman-Programming/gentle-pi (415 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 35 tokens to every session and 699 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 100% identical to chained-pr, differing in 2 lines, and is treated as a copy.
