deployment-rules

Repository rules for how code moves from developer branches through staging to production, including review and deployment requirements.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them to decide where pull requests should go, when approval is needed, how to share unfinished work, and how changes are promoted between environments.
Why use it?
They prevent direct changes to protected branches and reduce the risk of unreviewed or broken code reaching users.

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

deployment-rules 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.

Deployment Rules

These rules govern how code is reviewed, merged, and deployed in this repository. They apply to all contributors, including AI coding assistants.


Branch Model

Branch Purpose Protected
main Production — deployed automatically on merge Yes — no direct push
staging Integration target — deployed automatically on merge Yes — PRs required
feature/* / fix/* Developer working branches — deleted after merge No

The Rules

1. No direct pushes to main or staging

All changes must arrive via pull request. Branch protection enforces this.

2. All work branches target staging

Open PRs from your feature or fix branch into staging, not main.

3. PRs require at least one approval

A reviewer other than the author must approve before merging. For small teams: if no review is possible within 48 hours and the change is low-risk, the author may self-merge with a note explaining why.

4. Staging is always deployable

Do not merge broken or half-finished work into staging. Use a Draft PR to share work-in-progress without triggering a review or merge.

5. Production is promoted from staging, not deployed directly

To release to production, open a PR from stagingmain. Get one approval. Merge. GitHub Actions handles the rest.

6. Hotfixes are the only exception

If production is broken and urgent:

  • Branch from main (e.g. hotfix/brief-description)
  • PR directly into main — bypass staging if necessary
  • After merging, open a follow-up PR from mainstaging to re-sync

7. Never commit secrets

No passwords, API keys, tokens, or credentials belong in the repository. Use GitHub Actions Secrets for CI/CD credentials. Use server-side environment variables for runtime secrets.

8. Delete branches after merging

Keep the branch list clean. GitHub can be configured to do this automatically.

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.
