git-workflow

A set of Git rules for planning work, writing commit messages, managing branches, and preparing pull requests (proposed code changes for review).

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to plan larger changes, format commits, summarize pull requests, compare branch history, and check work before marking it complete.
Why use it?
It gives developers consistent habits for reviewing changes, avoiding secrets in commits, and keeping the main branch safe.

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

git-workflow 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 2d 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.

What it actually says

Git & Workflow

Planning

  • Plan before coding on any non-trivial task (3+ files or unclear requirements).
  • For complex features (5+ files, new services): outline the approach and get approval before implementing.
  • Review your own work before marking anything as done.

Commit Messages

Format: type: description (feat, fix, refactor, docs, test, chore, perf, ci)

  • Imperative mood, lowercase, no period at end
  • Under 72 characters
  • Body optional — explain "why" not "what" when included

PR Workflow

  1. Analyze full commit history with git diff [base-branch]...HEAD
  2. Draft comprehensive summary with test plan
  3. Push with -u flag if new branch
  4. PR title under 70 characters — use description for details

Branch Hygiene

  • Never force-push to main/master
  • Never commit secrets, .env files, or credentials
  • Use feature branches for all work
Changes

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.
