branch-dev-main

A Git branch workflow that uses `dev` for development and `main` for verified releases. A branch is a separate line of code changes in a Git repository.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to guide branch checkout, pulling changes, testing, merging, and pushing both branches after development.
Why use it?
It reduces accidental work on the release branch and prevents `dev` and `main` from drifting apart.

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

branch-dev-main 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 yesterday.

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

Branch workflow (dev → main)

  • Default branch for all development: dev. Before starting work, check out dev and pull; do not commit feature work on main.
  • After changes are tested and look good: merge dev into main (fast-forward when possible) and push both origin/dev and origin/main so they stay aligned.
  • After any update/push: ensure dev and main point at the same commit (or merge immediately); do not leave them diverged.
  • Prefer: develop on dev → verify → merge to main → push both. Avoid developing on main then back-merging to dev unless recovering from an accidental main-only push.

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.
