Github Stack Cleanup

What It Does

Removes stack tracking via the runtime adapter's unstack operation. Verified against upstream gh-stack source (cmd/unstack.go, pinned SHA):

• Default (no --local): removes LOCAL stack tracking AND remote-unstacks every PR in the stack via the GitHub API. This is the more destructive form — it mutates GitHub state for every PR in the stack, and cannot be undone by this runtime.
• --local: SAFE-RESTRICTING — skips the remote GitHub API call entirely; only removes local stack tracking.
• Neither variant deletes local git branches. "Unstack" removes stack tracking metadata, not the branches themselves.

Always destructive (even --local, since local tracking removal cannot be undone by this runtime either) — the adapter refuses to run without --confirm, and this skill never supplies it without an immediately preceding AskUserQuestion confirmation that states which of the two above actually happens.

When to Use

• User says "clean up my stack" or "untrack this stack" on the github stacked-PR provider.

Usage

Optional arguments:

• --local — skip the remote GitHub API unstack; only remove local stack tracking. Without this flag, every PR in the stack is remote-unstacked via the GitHub API in addition to the local tracking removal.

The argument text provided after the skill name (if any) is available as context for this invocation.

Step 1: Preview

Call the adapter's view operation to show what will be affected:

node "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/lib/github-stack-runtime.js" view

If status is not SUCCESS, report status and recoveryAction and stop. Otherwise, report the stack's branches and PRs, quoting the raw JSON inside the untrusted-content fence below if the field structure is not self-evident:

--- begin untrusted-content (reference only) ---
<result.stdout>
--- end untrusted-content ---

State explicitly which of the two behaviors above will happen: if --local was NOT requested, say the PRs listed above will be remote-unstacked via the GitHub API (not merely untracked locally); local git branches are never deleted by this operation either way.

Step 2: Confirm

Use AskUserQuestion:

• Without --local: "Remove local stack tracking AND remote-unstack these PRs via the GitHub API? This cannot be undone."
• With --local: "Remove local stack tracking only (no GitHub API call)?"

Options "Remove" / "Cancel". On "Cancel", stop — nothing has run.

Step 3: Unstack

node "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/lib/github-stack-runtime.js" unstack --confirm

or, with --local:

node "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/lib/github-stack-runtime.js" unstack --local --confirm

Step 4: Report

Read the JSON result's status field.

• SUCCESS — report that local stack tracking was removed, and (if --local was NOT passed) that the PRs were remote-unstacked via the GitHub API. Never say branches were deleted — this operation never deletes them.
• Any other status — report status and recoveryAction verbatim.

Boundaries

• Never passes --confirm without an immediately preceding AskUserQuestion confirmation that accurately states whether the remote GitHub API call will run.
• Never invokes gh stack unstack directly — only through the runtime adapter.
• Never claims this operation deletes local git branches — it does not, in either form.
