git-workflow

git-workflow is a skill for Claude Code from bobmatnyc/claude-mpm-skills. It costs 19 tokens per session (2,036 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to everyday Git practices for organizing code changes. It covers commit messages, small focused commits, branches, and related version-control habits.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when creating commits, naming branches, splitting work, or preparing changes for collaboration.
Why use it?
Unclear or oversized commits make changes harder to review, undo, and understand later. Consistent Git habits keep project history easier to follow.

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 5d 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

Essential Git patterns for effective version control. Eliminates ~120-150 lines of redundant Git guidance per agent.

Commit Best Practices

Conventional Commits Format

<type>(<scope>): <subject>

<body>

<footer>

Types:

  • feat: New feature
  • fix: Bug fix
  • docs: Documentation only
  • refactor: Code change that neither fixes bug nor adds feature
  • perf: Performance improvement
  • test: Adding or updating tests
  • chore: Build process, dependencies, tooling

Examples:

feat(auth): add OAuth2 authentication

Implements OAuth2 flow using Google provider.
Includes token refresh and validation.

Closes #123

fix(api): handle null response in user endpoint

Previously crashed when user not found.
Now returns 404 with error message.

perf(db): optimize user query with index

Reduces query time from 500ms to 50ms.

Atomic Commits

# Good: Each commit does one thing
git commit -m "feat: add user authentication"
git commit -m "test: add auth tests"
git commit -m "docs: update API docs for auth"

# Bad: Multiple unrelated changes
git commit -m "add auth, fix bugs, update docs"

Branching Strategy

Git Flow (Feature Branches)

# Create feature branch from main
git checkout main
git pull origin main
git checkout -b feature/user-authentication

# Work on feature with regular commits
git add src/auth.py
git commit -m "feat(auth): implement login endpoint"

# Keep branch updated with main
git checkout main
git pull origin main
git checkout feature/user-authentication
git rebase main  # Or: git merge main

# Push and create PR
git push -u origin feature/user-authentication

Trunk-Based Development

# Work directly on main with short-lived branches
git checkout main
git pull origin main
git checkout -b fix/null-pointer
# Make small change
git commit -m "fix: handle null in user query"
git push origin fix/null-pointer
# Merge immediately via PR

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.
