Large PRs bottleneck engineering velocity and increase context-switching costs for reviewers.

A tool that automatically suggests logical splitting points in PRs based on file changes, dependencies, or test coverage.

Engineering managers would pay for reduced PR cycle times and happier teams.

MVP: A GitHub action that flags PRs over X lines and suggests split points via simple heuristics.

Risk: Teams may have entrenched workflows resistant to change.
