knowtis-app: Skill for Claude Code

.agents/skills/stacking-prs/SKILL.md

stacking-prs is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from jovandyaz/knowtis-app. It costs 68 tokens per session (601 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for managing stacked pull requests on GitHub. Stacked pull requests split related work into small, ordered reviews, while CodeRabbit provides automated first-pass code review.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when splitting work across dependent branches, opening or adopting stacked PRs, responding to CodeRabbit comments, and merging or synchronising the stack.
Why use it?
It gives repository-specific rules for creating, linking, reviewing, updating, and merging a stack, including keeping reviews below the stated file limit.

Written for no agent in particular: nothing here depends on one. Also seen: installed under .agents/ (shared by several agents).

This is jovandyaz/knowtis-app's own configuration. It tells Claude Code and Codex how to work on knowtis-app itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything knowtis-app configures →

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.

Security

Grade A, and why

stacking-prs 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 1mo 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.

Stacking PRs (GitHub + CodeRabbit)

Knowtis uses GitHub's gh-stack extension for stacked PRs and CodeRabbit for automated first-pass review.

Workflow

  1. Branch with a Conventional prefix: feat/<name>, fix/<name>, docs/<name>.
  2. Install the extension once with gh extension install github/gh-stack if gh stack is unavailable.
  3. Build a tracked stack with gh stack init <bottom-branch>, gh stack add <next-branch>, and gh stack submit --auto --open, or adopt existing PRs with gh stack link <bottom> … <top>. link takes PRs or branches bottom-first, creates no local tracking, and only adds membership.
  4. Keep every PR under 100 changed files; CodeRabbit refuses larger reviews. Check with git diff --name-only <base> <head> | wc -l before opening.
  5. Trigger CodeRabbit with @coderabbitai full review and confirm inline comments exist. A green check without comments can mean the review was skipped; fair-usage failures must be retried after the named window.
  6. Address all review feedback before human review.
  7. Merge with an explicit target, for example gh stack merge <pr-number> --yes, then run gh stack sync locally. Never manually rebase a stacked branch after GitHub merges and retargets a layer.
  8. Detailed context lives in the PR description; commits stay single-line.

Gotchas

  • gh stack view needs local tracking; after link, run gh stack checkout <stack-number> first.
  • gh pr edit is broken on this repo (deprecated GraphQL field). Change bases and bodies with gh api repos/<owner>/<repo>/pulls/<n> -X PATCH --input -.
  • Deleting a branch that is the base of an open PR auto-closes that PR, and GitHub then refuses both a base change and a reopen. Run gh pr list --base <branch> before deleting anything.
  • Verify gh auth status shows the intended account before every write.

Rules of thumb

  • A PR that mixes a refactor with a behavior change should be split into a stack (refactor below, behavior on top).
  • Do not merge a middle layer independently; use the stack-aware merge flow.
  • CI must be green per-PR; nx affected keeps each stack level cheap.

Changes

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.
