What it does
Breakdown PR is an agent skill from HangYu8123/mini-harness. Plan and optionally execute a large pull request split into small stacked PRs. Use for PR breakdown, split PR, stacked PRs, branch decomposition, oversized diffs, gh-stack, Graphite, git range-diff, or PR too large.
Its SKILL.md is about 2.8k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It sits in Development, covering Git workflow and Pull requests. It works with Git. The repository describes itself as: A local minimized harness, with simplified output and logs for self-evolve.
When your agent uses it
- Branch decomposition
- Oversized diffs
Example prompts
- “/breakdown-pr”
Workflow steps
7 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
- Establish the Diff Boundary
- Inventory and Classify Changes
- Build the Dependency Graph
- Design the Stack
- Present the Plan
- Execute Only After Approval
- Verify the Stack
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit baa821f. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
gitgh
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:
graphite.comcode.visualstudio.comagentskills.iogithub.comdocs.github.comgit-scm.com
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Breakdown PR loads about 2.8k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 57 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,232 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.
SKILL.md
Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 1,232 words (~2,792 tokens).
“Analyze a large feature branch and produce a dependency-ordered stack of small, reviewable PRs. Planning is read-only by default. Creating branches, commits, or PRs requires explicit approval of the proposed plan.”

Git Branch Naming
makeplane/plane
Names a new Git branch with a type prefix, the lowercased work item ID and a short kebab-case description, so the ID can be extracted later from the branch name.
