Git Workflow

Git Workflow is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from niels-emmer/myace. It costs 24 tokens per session (722 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of simple rules for naming Git branches and deciding when to use a pull request or push directly. Git is the version-control system used to track code changes.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps name branches, choose between direct pushes and pull requests, and create small commits with clear messages.
Why use it?
It keeps small-team work understandable by making branches, commits, and review decisions consistent without adding much process.

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 9d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 65 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Purpose

Keep git usage simple enough that it never gets in the way of moving fast, while still leaving a clean, readable history and a clear signal for when something needs a second look.

When to use it

Any time you're starting new work, deciding whether to branch, or deciding whether a change needs a pull request versus just landing directly.

Branch naming

Use a short prefix that says what kind of change it is, then a few words describing it, separated by hyphens:

  • feat/short-description — new functionality
  • fix/short-description — bug fix
  • chore/short-description — maintenance, deps, config, cleanup
  • docs/short-description — documentation only

Keep the branch name short enough to read in a terminal prompt. If the work doesn't fit cleanly into one of these, feat/ is a safe default.

Commit messages

Write each commit as a small, coherent unit with a message that states what changed and why. Use a conventional prefix so the history is scannable:

  • feat: — new functionality
  • fix: — bug fix
  • chore: — maintenance, deps, config, cleanup
  • docs: — documentation only

Keep the subject under ~50 characters and imperative ("add retry to the fetch", not "added retry"). If the "why" isn't obvious from the diff, add a short body paragraph — the message should make the intent recoverable later, not just describe the diff.

When to open a PR vs. just push

For solo or low-stakes prototype work on your own feature branch, it's fine to push directly and merge without ceremony — a PR that nobody else will read doesn't add safety, it just adds a click.

Open a real pull request (even solo) when:

  • The change touches shared/production infrastructure, data migrations, or anything hard to undo.
  • You want a second pass before it lands — e.g. you're not fully confident in the approach.
  • Other people are working in the same repo and need visibility before it merges.
  • The default/main branch is protected and requires one anyway.

Otherwise, commit on the feature branch and merge or push straight to the target branch once it works.

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.
