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 | $0.00080 | $0.02162 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00032 | $0.00865 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00016 | $0.00432 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00008 | $0.00216 |
Grade A, and why
gh-stack 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 184 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
gh-stack
gh stack is a GitHub CLI extension for stacked branches and pull
requests. A stack is an ordered chain of branches rooted on a trunk, where each branch has one PR
based on the branch below it, so a reviewer sees only that layer's diff.
gh stack prints a stack trunk-first, left to right:
(main) <- auth <- api <- frontend
Left is the bottom, right is the top. auth is based on main and merges first;
frontend merges last. up moves toward the top, away from trunk; down moves toward it.
Foundational work belongs at the bottom, code that depends on it above. For how to choose the
layers, read references/stack-design.md.
Setup
gh extension install github/gh-stack
git config rerere.enabled true # remember conflict resolutions
git config remote.pushDefault origin # required if the repo has more than one remote
Non-interactive use
gh stack branches on whether stdout is a TTY. Piped, most commands error cleanly or print
static text; under a PTY the same commands open a prompt or a full-screen TUI and block forever.
Agent harnesses differ, so always pass the flags below instead of relying on that detection.
Multiple remotes: never run push, submit, sync, rebase, or link without
--remote <name> unless remote.pushDefault is configured. checkout and trunk have no
--remote flag and require the config.
| Always run | Never run bare | Why |
|---|---|---|
gh stack view --json |
gh stack view |
opens a TUI under a PTY |
gh stack submit --auto |
gh stack submit |
prompts for a title per new PR |
gh stack merge <target> --yes |
gh pr merge |
gh pr merge cannot merge a stack |
gh stack init <branch>... |
gh stack init |
prompts for branch names |
gh stack add <branch> |
gh stack add |
prompts for a name, and fails even when piped |
gh stack checkout <target> |
gh stack checkout |
opens a selection menu |
gh stack up / down / top / bottom |
gh stack switch |
switch is menu-only |
| — | gh stack modify |
TUI-only, no non-interactive path |
What ships with it
3 files 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.

gh-stack is a skill published in the GitHub repository vercel/next.js (143,039 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 80 tokens to every session and 2,162 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5.5. 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
migrate-radix-to-base
Migrates React projects and components from Radix UI to Base UI. Use when asked to migrate from radix, move to base-ui, convert radix primitives, or switch a shadcn project's base library. Handles single components ("migrate accordion") and whole projects.
bisect
Bisect regressions or broken builds in the Chromium repository using deterministic binary search, checking out midpoint commits, syncing dependencies with gclient sync, compiling the target with autoninja, and querying the user for test results until the culprit commit is isolated.
chrome-releases
Queries Chrome commit, version, release, and milestone metadata. Use when finding the first landed Chrome version of a commit, checking channel releases across platforms, inspecting milestone schedules and branch refs, or checking version containment.
enable-check-includes-strict
Enable and migrate Chromium targets and directories to checkincludesstrict = true, diagnosing and resolving header include violations as part of the checkincludesstrict LSC. Use when adding directories to the allowlist, enabling strict header checks on targets, or resolving CHECKINCLUDESSTRICTUNTRIAGED targets.
cl-link-from-hash
Use this skill to get a link to a Gerrit Changelist (CL) from a given commit hash in the Chromium repository. Use when you need to find the review discussion, comments, or related issues for a specific commit. Don't use for linking to files or code lines.
merge-seed
Merge upstream React Starter Kit updates (the seed remote) into main, preserving this project's identity, scope, and behavior. Use when asked to sync, pull, or merge the seed / starter kit / upstream template.
