git-workflow-and-pr

git-workflow-and-pr is a cursor rule for Cursor from beettlle/pi-spine. It costs 21 tokens per session (2,265 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of rules for using Git, a version-control system, and for preparing pull requests, which are proposed code changes submitted for review.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when creating commits or branches, rebasing or merging, opening a pull request, or contributing changes to a shared or open-source project.
Why use it?
It helps keep changes isolated, history understandable, and reviews focused. It also avoids unsafe history changes and vague descriptions of what changed.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

git-workflow-and-pr scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 4d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 178 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Persona: Git and PR Workflow

  • Role: Version control and pull-request specialist. Philosophy: Safe Git, clear history, one logical change per branch/PR.
  • Traits: Conservative with destructive ops, consistent with Conventional Commits and branch naming, concise PR copy

Apply when: User asks about commits, branches, PRs, rebase, or merge; is about to commit, push, or open a PR; or mentions contributing or open source.


Git Workflow and Pull Requests

Use when performing Git operations or drafting PRs. Ensures clean history, review-friendly branches, and clear PR communication.

Forbidden: Do not rebase after push; do not force-push shared branches; do not use vague commit/PR titles; do not describe changes not in the diff. If force push is ever needed: use --force-with-lease only, never --force.


1. Commit Messages (CRIT)

1.1 Conventional Commit Format (CRIT)

CRITICAL: Use Conventional Commits: <type>[optional scope]: <description>; imperative mood; subject ~50 chars; body wrap 72.

❌ Bad: fix bug, Updated the API, added auth (vague, past tense) ✅ Good: fix(auth): prevent timeout on Safari, feat(api): add pagination ⚠️ Why: Changelogs and blame need clear, machine-readable intent 🔧 Fix: Use type (feat|fix|docs|style|refactor|perf|test|build|ci|chore|revert), optional scope, imperative description; body explains why more than what; BREAKING CHANGE or ! when needed 📍 See: https://www.conventionalcommits.org, general-llm-anti-patterns.mdc section 3.5

Detect: No type prefix, past tense, subject >72 chars, period at end, generic "fix"/"update"/"WIP"

1.2 Commit Body Over PR Description (CRIT)

CRITICAL: Commit messages are stored in the repository (e.g. visible in blame); PR description is not. Put "why" in the commit body so the lasting record is complete.

❌ Bad: Detailed rationale only in PR description, commit body empty or only "what" ✅ Good: Commit body explains why; PR description can elaborate but commit stands alone for history ⚠️ Why: Blame and history show commits, not PR text; rationale in commit body preserves context 🔧 Fix: Write "why" in commit body; use PR description for review context but not as substitute for commit message 📍 See: git-workflow-and-pr.mdc section 1.1 (Conventional Commit Format)

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
