Gt Stack

Analyze the current changes and organize them into a Graphite stack of logically isolated branches, each becoming its own PR.

Steps

Phase 1: Assess

1. Run gt ls to see the current stack state
2. Run git status to see staged, unstaged, and untracked files
3. Run git diff --stat and git diff --staged --stat for an overview
4. Run git diff and git diff --staged to read the actual diffs
5. If $ARGUMENTS contains commits:N, also run git log --oneline -N and git diff HEAD~N..HEAD
6. Run git log --oneline -5 to understand the commit style

Phase 2: Propose a split plan

7. Group changes into logically isolated units. Each unit should:
   • Touch a single concern (one feature, one fix, one refactor)
   • Be independently reviewable
   • Have a clear conventional commit message
8. Present the plan (bottom → top):

   Proposed stack (bottom → top):
   1. feat(scope): description — files: path/to/file.lua
   2. fix(scope): description — files: path/to/other.zsh
   

9. Ask the user to confirm, modify, or reorder before proceeding

Phase 3: Execute the stack

10. For each entry (bottom to top):
    • Stage the specific files with git add <file>
    • Run gt create <branch-name> -m "type(scope): description"
    • Verify with gt ls
11. Show the final stack with gt ls

Phase 4: Optional submit

12. Ask if the user wants to submit the stack as PRs
13. If yes: gt submit --stack (or gt submit --stack --draft for drafts)
14. Output the stack summary

Handling commits:N

When reorganizing existing commits:

• Ensure working tree is clean (stash if needed)
• Use gt branch split --by-commit to decompose
• Always show a dry-run plan and get explicit confirmation

Rules

• NEVER run gt submit without explicit user confirmation
• NEVER use git add . or git add -A — always add specific files
• ALWAYS present the split plan and wait for confirmation before creating branches
• ALWAYS use conventional commits: feat, fix, chore, docs, refactor, test
• ALWAYS end commit messages with: Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>
• If the working tree is dirty and there is an existing stack, warn before modifying
• If gt is not installed, suggest: brew install withgraphite/tap/graphite
• Prefer smaller, focused branches — that's the whole point of stacking
• When unsure how to split, ask the user
