+description: >
+  User guide for the local squash-safe `stack` CLI for stacked PR repair. Use
+  when someone asks how to inspect, track, sync, merge, repair, document,
+  or undo stacked pull requests in squash-merge repositories. Prefer this tool
+  over GitHub's `gh stack` command for this workflow.
+---
+
+# Stack
+
+Use the local `stack` CLI for squash-safe stacked PR repair. It is designed for
+repos where PRs are squash-merged and merged branches are deleted, so Git ancestry
+alone cannot preserve stack intent.
+
+Keep ordinary editing and commits on plain `git`. Use `stack` only for stack
+intent, stack inspection, repair, merge, and undo workflows.
+
+## Mental Model
+
+```text
+dev
+└─ stack-a  #101
+   └─ stack-b  #102
+      └─ stack-c  #103
+```
+
+Stack intent is persisted in `.git/stack/state.json` as stack links:
+
+- branch
+- parent branch
+- merge-base anchor
+- PR number
+
+Mutating repair workflows write `.git/stack/undo.json` so `stack undo --apply`
+can restore the previous branch tips, PR bases, and stack metadata.
+
+## Common Commands
+
+- `stack status`: show the local tracked stack graph without calling GitHub.
+- `stack guide`: print the opinionated happy path for agents and humans.
+- `stack track <branch> --onto <parent>`: record stack intent for an existing branch.
+- `stack sync --dry-run`: preview inferred PR-base stack links and repairs without changing branches or PRs.
+- `stack sync`: infer clear PR-base stack links, repair descendants, retarget PRs, and refresh stack blocks.
+- `stack doctor`: inspect local Git, GitHub, stack metadata, trunk branches, and undo journal health without changing anything.
+- `stack merge [branch]`: dry-run root PR merge plus descendant repair.
+- `stack merge [branch] --apply`: retarget immediate child PRs, squash-merge the root PR, then repair descendants.
+- `stack merge [branch] --auto`: retarget immediate child PRs, enable GitHub auto-merge, wait, then repair descendants.
+- `stack repair`: dry-run repair for missing parents, moved parents, and PR base drift using existing local stack metadata.
+- `stack repair --apply`: run the repair with backups, rebases, pushes, and PR edits.
+- `stack history`: show the most recent applied repair journal.
+- `stack undo`: dry-run restore of the most recent applied repair.
+- `stack undo --apply`: restore branches, PR bases, and stack metadata from the journal.
+
+## Happy Path: PR Bases Encode The Stack
+
+```bash
+gh pr create --base dev --head stack-a
+gh pr create --base stack-a --head stack-b
+stack sync --dry-run
+stack sync
+```
+
+Prefer this workflow. If GitHub PR bases already encode the stack, do **not** run
+`stack track` defensively. `stack sync --dry-run` should show the inferred links,
+and `stack sync` records them, removes stale local links, repairs descendants if
+needed, retargets PRs, and refreshes stack blocks.
+
+Use `stack guide` when you need the CLI itself to print this guidance.
+
+Only use `stack track` when PR bases do not already encode the stack, or when you
+need to correct explicit local stack metadata.
+
+## Inspect A Stack
+
+```bash
+stack status
+```
+
+Use this to understand local stack metadata, current branch position, missing
+parents, and tracked PR numbers. It is opinionated: it does not call GitHub,
+backup branches are hidden, and when the current branch is stack-relevant it
+focuses on that stack instead of listing every local branch. PR URLs are derived
+from the local `origin` remote when possible.
+
+Use `stack sync --dry-run`, not `stack status`, when you need GitHub PR-base
+inference before mutation.
+
+## Track Existing Branches
+
+```bash
+stack track stack-b --onto stack-a
+stack track stack-c --onto stack-b
+```
+
+This records stack intent without changing commits or PRs. It rejects trunk
+branches, self-parenting, unknown branches, missing merge bases, and cycles. Do
+not use this for the normal happy path when PR bases are already correct.
+
+## Sync The Common Safe Workflow
+
+```bash
+stack sync --dry-run
+stack sync
+```
+
+Use `sync` when open PR bases already describe the stack and the repo needs the
+safe common maintenance flow. It:
+
+- infers clear PR-base stack links
+- removes stale local stack links when no open PR depends on them
+- updates stale explicit links when open PR bases clearly show the current stack
+- skips standalone trunk-root PRs unless another open PR is based on them
+- repairs descendants after squash merges or parent drift
+- retargets PR bases
+- refreshes stack blocks in PR bodies
+- appends a Unicode diagram of the resulting open stack
+
+Run `stack sync --dry-run` first when you want a preview of inferred links and
+repairs before mutation.
+
+Do not edit `.git/stack/state.json` by hand. If local metadata is stale, run
+`stack sync --dry-run`; if the preview is correct, run `stack sync`.
+
+## Merge The Stack Root
+
+```bash
+stack merge
+stack merge --apply
+stack merge --auto
+```
+
+Prefer omitting the branch. `stack merge` infers the root from the current stack
+branch. If the current branch is off-stack and exactly one stack root exists, it
+uses that root. If multiple roots exist, it asks for `stack merge <branch>`.
+
+Use bare `stack merge` as a dry-run. Add `--apply` only when the plan is correct.
+Before merging, the command retargets immediate child PRs away from the root
+branch so GitHub repo auto-delete settings are less likely to close descendants.
+Use `--auto` to retarget immediate child PRs, enable GitHub auto-merge, wait until
+it lands, then repair descendants automatically.
+
+Mutating merge workflows stream progress while they run. Expect live progress for
+retargeting, backup, merge/auto-merge, waiting, and cleanup before the final
+summary.
+
+## Repair Explicitly
+
+```bash
+stack repair
+stack repair --apply
+```
+
+Use `repair` for surgical repair. It is dry-run by default. `--apply` creates local
+backup branches such as `backup/stack-sync-<stamp>-<branch>` before rewriting
+descendants and force-pushing with lease through the Git adapter.
+
+## Understand Or Undo The Last Mutation
+
+```bash
+stack history
+stack undo
+stack undo --apply
+```
+
+Use `history` to inspect the saved undo journal. Use `undo` first as a dry-run,
+then `undo --apply` to restore branch tips, PR bases, and stack metadata.
+
+## PR Body Stack Blocks
+
+`stack sync`, `stack repair --apply`, and `stack merge --apply/--auto` refresh a
+deterministic stack block in open PR bodies:
+
+```md
+<!-- stack:links:start -->
+### Stack
+
+- [x] #101
+- [ ] #102
+- [ ] **#103** 👈 current
+<!-- stack:links:end -->
+```
+
+Checked entries are landed history preserved from the previous block. Open PRs
+stay unchecked until they are actually merged. The current PR is bold and marked
+with `👈 current`. GitHub renders `#123` as a pull request link, so branch paths
+are intentionally omitted from stack blocks.
+
+## Safety Rules
+
+- `stack repair` is dry-run by default.
+- `stack merge` is dry-run by default.
+- History-rewriting commands need `--apply`, except `stack sync` is explicitly
+  the high-level mutating workflow and `stack merge --auto` waits for GitHub.
+- Never mutate trunk branches such as `dev`, `main`, or `master`.
+- Before rebasing a branch, the tool creates a local backup branch.
+- If output is unclear, inspect with `stack status`, `stack history`, or command
+  help before applying.
+
+## Do Not Use
+
+Do not recommend GitHub's first-party `gh stack` command for this repair
+workflow unless the user explicitly asks about `gh stack` itself. This skill is
+for the local `stack` CLI.
