Really like this idea. But at what point do you think its valuable to have this chapters breakdown versus splitting things up into multiple PRs?

Yeah it's getting easier to have agents just add "one more thing" to a PR, and I think there is still an aspect of human engineering judgement to know when to break up PRs versus trusting AI/tools to keep velocity high.

In the ideal world, each PR is as small and self-contained as possible but we've noticed people struggling to justify the extra overhead every time.
