GitHub Patterns
Tools
Use gh CLI for all GitHub operations. Prefer CLI over GitHub MCP servers for lower context usage.
Quick Commands
# Create a PR from the current branch
gh pr create --title "feat: add feature" --body "Description"
# Squash-merge a PR
gh pr merge <PR_NUMBER> --squash --title "feat: add feature (#<PR_NUMBER>)"
# View PR status and checks
gh pr status
gh pr checks <PR_NUMBER>
Stacked PR Workflow Summary
When merging a chain of stacked PRs (each targeting the previous branch):
- Merge the first PR into main via squash merge
- For each subsequent PR: rebase onto main, update base to main, then squash merge
- On conflicts: stop and ask the user to resolve manually
# Rebase next PR's branch onto main, excluding already-merged commits
git rebase --onto origin/main <old-base-branch> <next-branch>
git push --force-with-lease origin <next-branch>
gh pr edit <N> --base main
gh pr merge <N> --squash --title "<PR title> (#N)"
See stacked-pr-workflow.md for full step-by-step details.

VerifiedTrustedOfficial
Assesses whether and how an existing mobile product should migrate to React Native. Use when auditing one or more product repositories for migration readiness, including products whose iOS, Android, and other clients live in separate directories or repositories; choosing brownfield, greenfield, or a checkpoint-based path; defining a representative trial; or preparing a baseline and ROI decision before implementation. When product scope or material evidence is unavailable, grills the stakeholder with exactly one question per turn instead of sending a questionnaire.

Implements an accepted incremental brownfield migration from native iOS or Android to React Native or Expo using @callstack/react-native-brownfield. Use after the brownfield path has been selected, when setting up the integration, packaging XCFramework or AAR artifacts, or adding React Native surfaces to native hosts.
