Julia Muiruri writes about managing large outputs from LLM-powered coding agents by employing stacked pull requests rather than a single, massive diff. By decomposing complex features into logically ordered layers through the `gh-stack` CLI extension, developers can convert unmanageable changesets into small, focused units that are easier to review and maintain. This structured approach allows different experts to focus on specific concerns—such as data models or UI components—within a cohesive dependency chain.
- Gartner predicts coding agents will drive 50% productivity gains across the SDLC by 2028.
- The `gh stack` CLI extension enables cascading rebases and synchronization via commands like `gh stack sync`.
- A "stack map" in the GitHub UI provides one-click navigation between related pull requests in a sequence.
