Key features	Stacked pull request workflow tooling AI code review aware of an entire stack, not just one PR Stack-aware merge queue keeping branches green CLI and VS Code extension support Free tier for individual use	Specification generated and reviewed before any code is written Plan-level review instead of reviewing a large finished diff Works alongside existing agentic coding tools rather than replacing them Keeps multi-file changes coherent against a single agreed intent Free trial for evaluating the workflow on real changes
Pros	Stack-aware AI review catches issues isolated-PR tools miss Combines workflow tooling and AI review in one integrated platform Long track record in stacked-PR workflows predating AI review entirely	Catches misunderstandings before implementation, not after Reviewing a plan is far quicker than reviewing a sprawling diff Complements rather than replaces existing agent tooling
Cons	Full value depends on adopting the stacked-PR workflow itself Team features and full AI review require a paid per-user plan Learning curve for teams unfamiliar with stacking as a practice	Adds a step that feels like overhead on small, obvious changes Only valuable to teams already running agentic coding workflows
