branching-strategy

branching-strategy is a cursor rule for Cursor from first-fluke/fullstack-starter. It costs 9 tokens per session (2,261 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

GitFlow-inspired branching strategy for this project. Solo development omits the develop branch.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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

branching-strategy 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 today.

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.

Git Branching Strategy

Overview

GitFlow-inspired branching strategy for this project. Solo development omits the develop branch.

Branch Types

Branch Purpose Optional
main Production codebase No
develop Integration for team development Yes (solo: skip)
feature/* New features No
fix/* Bug fixes No
hotfix/* Urgent production fixes No
release/* Release preparation Yes

Branch Naming Rules

  • Features: feature/<descriptive-name>

    • Examples: feature/user-authentication, feature/dark-mode
  • Fixes: fix/<descriptive-name>

    • Examples: fix/login-error, fix/memory-leak
  • Hotfixes: hotfix/<descriptive-name>

    • Examples: hotfix/security-patch, hotfix/critical-bug
  • Releases: release/<version>

    • Examples: release/v1.0.0, release/v2.1.0

Workflow

Creating Feature Branch

# From main (solo or team)
git checkout main
git pull origin main
git checkout -b feature/your-feature-name

# OR from develop (team only)
git checkout develop
git pull origin develop
git checkout -b feature/your-feature-name

Creating Hotfix Branch

# Always from main (production)
git checkout main
git pull origin main
git checkout -b hotfix/urgent-fix-description

Merging Hotfix

# 1. Merge to main and tag release
git checkout main
git merge hotfix/urgent-fix-description
git tag -a v1.0.2 -m "Hotfix version 1.0.2"
git push origin v1.0.2

# 2. Back-merge to develop (if using team workflow)
git checkout develop
git merge hotfix/urgent-fix-description

# 3. Delete hotfix branch
git branch -d hotfix/urgent-fix-description

Creating Release Branch

Note: Release branch is optional. For most cases, merge develop directly to main with a tag.

When to use release branches:

  • Finalizing release features
  • Preparing for production deployment
  • Testing release candidate before deployment

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.
