What is auto_task.restack?

A Git workflow tool that carries reviewed changes from one pull request into the later pull requests built on top of it. A pull request is a proposed change to a shared codebase.

Use it after reviewing a lower pull request in a stacked series, so the later branches include the changes and remain mergeable.

It keeps a stack of related pull requests aligned after an earlier change, without rewriting branch history.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

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	$0.00015	$0.01567
Opus 5.5	$0.00006	$0.00627
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00003	$0.00313
Haiku 4.5	$0.00002	$0.00157

Security

Grade A, and why

auto_task.restack 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 yesterday.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 146 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Goal

Given the current PR is one branch in a stack of sequential PRs, propagate changes reviewed in an earlier PR into every PR stacked on top of it
Preserve full history: merge forward and commit. Never rebase or force-push
End with every PR in the stack mergeable, with CI green

When to Use This Skill

Use after a PR in the middle or bottom of a stack was reviewed and changed, and the branches stacked on top of it need those changes
Do not use this to build a new stack. Use /auto_task.execute_with_stacked_prs instead
Follow .claude/skills/auto_task.rules.md section "Ask for Clarification Before Executing an Unclear Plan" when a PR's description is unclear. Do not guess and merge blind

Workflow

Discover the Full Stack

Get the current PR:

> gh pr view --json number,title,baseRefName,headRefName,url

Walk up from the current PR's baseRefName, following each branch's own PR (gh pr list --head <base> --state all), until reaching the default branch (master). This is the bottom of the stack
Walk down from the current PR's headRefName, finding the open PR whose baseRefName equals the previous PR's headRefName (gh pr list --base <branch> --state open). This is the top
Order the PRs from bottom (based on master) to top
Check whether the bottom PR is behind the default branch:
```
> gh pr view <bottom PR> --json mergeable,mergeStateStatus
```
If mergeable is CONFLICTING (or the branch is just behind), treat the default branch as an implicit PR_0 at the bottom. It needs the same merge-forward treatment as every other pair

Print the Stack

Print one table with columns #, Branch, PR (#<NUM> — <title>), Base, e.g.:

+---+--------------------+-----------------------------------------------+--------+
| # | Branch             | PR                                             | Base   |
+---+--------------------+-----------------------------------------------+--------+
| 1 | ..._invoke_tasks   | #1423 -- auto-pick suffix in git_branch_create | master |
| 2 | ..._invoke_tasks_2 | #1424 -- unit tests for git_*/gh_* tasks       | #1423  |

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.
