git-workflow

git-workflow is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from kid-sid/codex-spellbook. It costs 39 tokens per session (660 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

Git workflow guidance is a set of rules for naming branches, writing consistent commit messages, preparing pull requests, and changing shared history safely. Git is the tool many teams use to track code changes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when starting branches, preparing commits or pull requests, choosing between squashing and merging, checking commit quality, or safely undoing a mistaken push.
Why use it?
It reduces confusing history and makes changes easier for teammates to review, merge, and recover when something goes wrong.

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 1mo 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

Keep history readable, reviewable, and safe for collaborators by using consistent branch names, conventional commits, and disciplined merge behavior.

When to Activate

  • Start a new feature or fix branch
  • Prepare commits before opening a PR
  • Rename a noisy branch before review
  • Decide whether to squash or merge
  • Rewrite branch history after review feedback
  • Audit commit hygiene before release
  • Recover from a mistaken push safely

Branch Naming

Change Type Pattern Example
Feature feat/<topic> feat/api-pagination
Fix fix/<topic> fix/jwt-expiry-check
Chore chore/<topic> chore/update-ci

Conventional Commits

Type Use When
feat: User-visible capability added
fix: Bug fixed
docs: Documentation only
chore: Maintenance with no product behavior change
refactor: Structure changed without behavior change
test: Tests added or updated
perf: Measurable performance improvement
feat(api): add cursor pagination to list users

Why:
- offset scans were timing out on large tenants

What:
- added cursor token parsing
- exposed page.has_more

Pull Requests and Merge Strategy

Field Format
PR title <type>(<scope>): <summary>
Description problem, approach, risks, validation
Linked work issue or ticket reference when available
Situation Preferred Avoid
Small feature branch Squash merge Preserving noisy fixup history
Multi-commit change with meaningful milestones Merge commit Squashing away useful audit trail
Local cleanup before review Rebase locally Rewriting shared branch unexpectedly

Safe Rewrites

Operation Rule
Rewrite your own reviewed branch Use --force-with-lease
Rewrite shared branch used by others Do not do it without explicit coordination
Recover from mistaken push Prefer revert when branch is public

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.
