What it does

Stacked PR Fast Lane is an agent skill from InternationalColorConsortium/iccDEV. Create and synchronize focused gh-stack pull request layers, then prepare guarded maintainer fast-lane validation through the GitHub CLI.

Its SKILL.md is about 1k 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 Pull requests. It works with GitHub. The repository describes itself as: iccDEV provides a set of libraries and tools that allow for the interaction, manipulation, and application of ICC color management profiles. The licence is BSD-3-Clause.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Pull requests

Example prompts

  • “/stacked-pr-fast-lane”

Requirements

  • Docker
  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): bash, read, grep, glob, shell(git:*), shell(gh:*)

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Check the current stack with gh stack view --json.
  2. Keep the active branch limited to its owning layer. If the owner is unclear,
  3. Run the smallest validation for that layer; do not run the full CTest suite
  4. Synchronize through gh stack sync --remote origin before reporting branch
  5. Report the stack order, layer branch, head SHA, focused validation, and

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 3c2425d. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • bash
    • read
    • grep
    • glob
    • shell(git:*)
    • shell(gh:*)

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • gh

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use gh, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    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

Stacked PR Fast Lane loads about 1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 40 tokens; SKILL.md has 434 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~40
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1k

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.

Stacked PR and Fast-Lane Workflow

Use this skill when related work will create multiple pull requests in a rolling 24-hour period, when a PR stack is already checked out, or when a maintainer asks for ci-pr-action fast-lane validation.

Stack Policy

  • Prefer a single linear stack for related changes. Each layer must contain one independently reviewable concern and target the branch immediately below it.

  • For non-stack branch grooming, use ../../../docs/linear-stack-workflow.md instead of ad hoc merges or pulls.

  • Use separate stacks for unrelated or parallel work. Do not use a stack to combine opportunistic cleanup with the requested change.

  • Before stack work, update the plugin and inspect the tracked state:

    bash
    gh extension upgrade gh-stack
    gh stack view --json
  • Use gh stack init <bottom-branch> before writing a new multi-part change and gh stack add <next-branch> for each dependent layer.

  • Use gh stack sync --remote origin before handoff and after remote/base changes. Use gh stack submit --auto --remote origin to create or update the PRs. Do not manually rebase or push one stack layer.

  • For noninteractive agents, never invoke the TUI-only gh stack modify or gh stack switch. Use explicit branch/PR arguments and JSON output.

Agent Responsibilities

  1. Check the current stack with gh stack view --json.
  2. Keep the active branch limited to its owning layer. If the owner is unclear, inspect history before editing.
  3. Run the smallest validation for that layer; do not run the full CTest suite merely because the work is stacked.
  4. Synchronize through gh stack sync --remote origin before reporting branch or PR state.
  5. Report the stack order, layer branch, head SHA, focused validation, and dependency on the layer below.

Do not dispatch fast lane for a fork, a closed PR, or an untrusted contributor. An agent can prepare commands and inspect runs, but cannot treat fast-lane success as merge approval.

Maintainer Fast Lane

Fast lane applies only to an open same-repository PR and runs exact GCC 15.2 Release LTO plus GCC 15.2 ASAN+UBSAN Debug tool validation. It defaults to the latest CTest, with Windows opt-in. It does not run Docker verification for container-surface changes. It is an accelerator, not a replacement for required PR gates or the long-cycle ci_scope=full gate.

Confirm the target before dispatch:

bash
gh pr view <pr-number> --repo InternationalColorConsortium/iccDEV \
  --json number,state,isCrossRepository,headRefName,headRefOid

Only a maintainer with current repository permission may dispatch:

bash
gh workflow run ci-pr-action --repo InternationalColorConsortium/iccDEV \
  --ref <branch> \
  -f ci_scope=fast-lane \
  -f pr_number=<open-same-repository-pr-number> \
  -f ctest_recent_limit=1 \
  -f include_windows=false \
  -f warning_policy=fail

Find and watch the resulting run:

bash
gh run list --repo InternationalColorConsortium/iccDEV \
  --workflow ci-pr-action --branch <branch> --event workflow_dispatch \
  --json databaseId,headSha,status,conclusion --limit 1
gh run watch <run-id> --repo InternationalColorConsortium/iccDEV --exit-status

Trigger shared-concurrency runs sequentially. Add Windows only when the change needs that surface. Container-surface changes, including the unified Dockerfile, packaged MCP source, and ci-docker-pr.yml, require local canonical-image validation; ci-pr-action does not run a Docker PR lane. Escalate to ci_scope=full when the changed surface or merge policy requires the long cycle.
