git-workflow-standards

git-workflow-standards is a skill for Claude Code from dryvist/claude-code-plugins. It costs 59 tokens per session (1,154 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A set of rules for managing Git branches, worktrees, merges, and pull requests. Git is a system for tracking code changes, while a worktree is a separate working folder connected to the same repository.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when creating or removing worktrees, updating branches, preparing pull requests, resolving merge conflicts, and cleaning up stale branches.
Why use it?
It reduces branch clutter, unsafe work on the default branch, outdated branches, and mistakes when resolving conflicts or syncing code.

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-standards 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 25d 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 Standards

Worktree setup and structure: see superpowers:using-git-worktrees. This skill covers what comes after the worktree exists.

Every branch with commits MUST have an associated PR. Orphaned branches must get a PR or be deleted.

Stale branch (worktree-paired, bare local, or remote-only — see prune-branches, github-workflows, for the full procedure): a non-default branch, checked out nowhere, unreferenced by any open PR (--head or --base), with no uncommitted changes (when a worktree exists), and either a merged PR whose headRefOid matches the branch tip, or zero commits ahead of the default branch. Use git worktree remove (never --force) for worktree-paired branches — Git blocks removal of dirty worktrees — and git push origin --delete for a live remote ref, only after prune-branches's pre-push ancestry re-check.

Branch Hygiene

  • Sync the default branch daily: git pull
  • Long-running branches: rebase from the default branch weekly
  • Before PRs: ensure branch is on the latest default branch
  • Never branch from feature branches — always from the default branch fresh (git-flow repos: git flow feature start branches from develop). The one exception is layering a PR stack, and only via gh stack; see pr-stacks (github-workflows).
  • Commit messages: conventional-commit prefixes only, no emoji (see pr-standards)

Git Flow Repositories

For repositories using the Git Flow model (where the default branch is develop):

  1. Target Branch: All feature and bugfix branches must target and merge into develop.
  2. Validation: Once changes are merged into develop, they must be thoroughly validated against production/tested on develop.
  3. End-of-Session Promotion: At the end of every session, all changes on develop MUST be merged into main via /promote-release. This promotion is a mandatory, non-optional step.
  4. Planning Checklist: You must explicitly add "Merge develop into main (promote release)" to your session to-do / plan checklist at the start of work.
