git-workflow

Rules for managing Git work in projects, including repository setup, commit naming, backups, and whether changes may be committed or pushed. Git is a tool that records project history and can synchronize it with a remote repository.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when initializing repositories, creating backups, writing Conventional Commits, committing changes, or deciding whether to push work remotely.
Why use it?
They prevent accidental Git operations and make the user's preferred commit and push boundaries explicit.

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 3d 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.

Git workflow (all projects)

When this rule applies

Follow this rule for project work (code, files, scaffolding, installs, git operations).

Skip for general chat, casual talk, image generation, and help-only sessions (questions, how-to, Cursor/docs) with no project changes.

Git must exist first

  • If the directory is not a git repo (git rev-parse --is-inside-work-tree fails), stop substantive project work and ask the user to initialize or clone git first (git init, remote, etc.).
  • When creating a new project, offer git init (and remote if they want) before meaningful changes; confirm setup before continuing.

User preference: commit vs push

Early in project work (or when unknown), ask what they want when work is done:

  • Commit only — local checkpoint; never push unless they later ask.
  • Push only — only if commits already exist and they explicitly want remote updated (still confirm).
  • Both — commit then push when they approve at end of task.
  • Neither — no git writes without a later explicit request.

Respect the latest answer for the session; re-ask if scope changes (e.g. they switch to “commit only” for a restore point).

Conventional Commits (required for new commits)

Format (spec):

<type>[optional scope][optional !]: <description>

[optional body]

[optional footer(s)]
  • Types: feat, fix, plus build, chore, ci, docs, style, refactor, perf, test, revert, etc.
  • feat = new feature; fix = bug fix. Breaking: ! before : and/or BREAKING CHANGE: <description> footer.
  • Title: lowercase type, imperative short description after colon and space.
  • Body: blank line after title; explain why when helpful.
feat(api): add pagination to list endpoint

fix: prevent race when canceling in-flight requests

docs: correct CHANGELOG spelling

Do not commit files that likely contain secrets (.env, credentials). Warn if asked.

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.

git-workflow is a cursor rule published in the GitHub repository mhmdreza-rafiei/agent-tools (5 stars, last pushed 15d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 929 tokens to every session, about $0.0046 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
