Github Stack Plan

What It Does

Read-only stack view for the github provider of the stacked-pr capability group. Calls the runtime adapter's view operation (gh stack view --json) and reports the current stack structure. Makes no changes.

When to Use

• Checking what branches/PRs are currently in the stack.
• Before submitting or merging, to confirm the stack looks as expected.

Usage

Step 1: Call the adapter

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

Step 2: Report

Read the JSON result's status field.

• SUCCESS — parse stdout as the gh stack view --json output and report the stack structure to the user. Confirmed shape (live smoke test, gh-stack v0.1.0): {trunk, currentBranch, branches: [{name, head, base, isCurrent, isMerged, isQueued, needsRebase, pr: {number, url, state} | null}]} — head/base are commit SHAs, not branch names; branches is ordered bottom-to-top (trunk-adjacent first). Report trunk, each branch's name/PR number+URL+state in stack order, and flag any needsRebase: true or isQueued: true branch explicitly. Treat this shape as a documented reference, not a schema guarantee — if a future gh-stack version adds or renames a field, quote the raw JSON instead of guessing at it:

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

• NOT_IN_STACK — tell the user the current branch is not part of a tracked stack and report recoveryAction.

• Any other status — report status and recoveryAction verbatim; quote stdout/stderr inside the untrusted-content fence above if they add useful detail.

Boundaries

• Strictly read-only — only ever calls the adapter's view operation.
• Never invents field names or structure beyond what the adapter's actual JSON output shows; falls back to quoting the raw JSON when uncertain.
• Never falls back to reporting Graphite stack state as if it were this provider's.
