What it does

Stack Reorganize is an agent skill from mozilla-firefox/firefox. Reorganize a range of local commits so each one stands on its own for review, by splitting, reordering, squashing or dropping them. Use when a stack or its commits are hard to review, carry churn, or have an awkward shape - "my stack is hard to review", "clean up these commits", "organize my patches for review". Works in a git or a Jujutsu (jj) checkout.

Its SKILL.md is about 5.4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 7 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `references/drop-superseded.md`, `references/fold-resplit.md` and `references/git.md`).

It sits in Development, covering Git workflow. It works with Git. The repository describes itself as: The official repository of Mozilla's Firefox web browser.

When your agent uses it

  • Its commits are hard to review
  • Have an awkward shape - my stack is hard to review
  • Clean up these commits
  • Organize my patches for review

Example prompts

  • “my stack is hard to review”
  • “clean up these commits”
  • “organize my patches for review”
  • “/stack-reorganize”

Requirements

  • A Bash shell
  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Bash(git log:*), Bash(git show:*), Bash(git blame:*), Bash(git add:*), Bash(git diff:*), Bash(git status:*), Bash(git branch:*), Bash(git checkout:*), Bash(git restore:*), Bash(git commit:*), Bash(git cherry-pick:*), Bash(git rebase:*), Bash(git reset:*), Bash(git rev-list:*), Bash(git ls-tree:*), Bash(git apply:*), Bash(git range-diff:*), Bash(git patch-id:*), Bash(git grep:*), Bash(git cat-file:*), Bash(git rev-parse:*), Bash(grep:*), Bash(awk:*), Bash(sort:*), Bash(tr:*), Bash(bash .claude/skills/stack-reorganize/scripts/git-churn.sh:*), Bash(bash .agents/skills/stack-reorganize/scripts/git-churn.sh:*), Bash(jj log:*), Bash(jj show:*), Bash(jj diff:*), Bash(jj st:*), Bash(jj op:*), Bash(jj squash:*), Bash(jj commit:*), Bash(jj new:*), Bash(jj describe:*), Bash(jj rebase:*), Bash(jj edit:*), Bash(jj abandon:*), Bash(jj absorb:*), Bash(jj fix:*), Bash(jj restore:*), Bash(jj file show:*), Read, Grep, Glob

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Envision
  2. Diagnose the shape
  3. Choose the intervention (most targeted wins)

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 59c8a94. 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(git log:*)
    • Bash(git show:*)
    • Bash(git blame:*)
    • Bash(git add:*)
    • Bash(git diff:*)
    • Bash(git status:*)
    • Bash(git branch:*)
    • Bash(git checkout:*)
    • Bash(git restore:*)
    • Bash(git commit:*)

    …and 36 more on the same allowed-tools line.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Shell), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • git

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use git, 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

Stack Reorganize loads about 5.4k tokens when it runs, and up to ~17k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 93 tokens; SKILL.md has 3,304 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~93
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~5.4k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~17k

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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 3,304 words (~5,433 tokens).

“The mechanics depend on this checkout's version control system. Use jj where the checkout has a .jj directory at its root: it rebases descendants for you and records conflicts instead of halting. Do not fall back to git commands there…”
