github

GitHub workflow guidance for commits, branches, issues, and pull requests. GitHub is a service for hosting code and reviewing changes; a pull request is a proposed change for review.

In plain words
What is it for?
Naming branches, writing Conventional Commits, opening issues and pull requests with the gh command-line tool, and deciding when to work directly on main.
Why use it?
It helps developers choose an appropriate branch flow and write records that remain clear after the work is finished.

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

github 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 yesterday.

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.

Origin

This is a copy

100% identical to github — 0 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 212 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

GitHub workflow

The point: write commits, issues, and PRs that read clearly weeks later. Be direct, be specific, skip the filler.

Branching — when to branch, when not

Trunk-based (commit straight to main) when:

  • Single-file or single-concept fix.
  • Typo, doc tweak, version bump, comment, lint fix.
  • Test-only addition that doesn't change behavior.
  • Anything that takes one commit and reviews itself in 30 seconds.

Short-lived branch when:

  • More than ~2 commits expected.
  • New feature or capability, even a small one.
  • Schema/migration change.
  • Anything that could break main for someone else.
  • A spec / plan task that has its own id (e.g. T052 from docs/PLAN.md).

Branch naming: <type>/<short-slug> — type is one of feat, fix, chore, docs, refactor, test. Examples:

feat/order-fulfillment-tx
fix/signature-verify-header-case
chore/bump-drizzle

Keep branches short-lived. Open the PR early, even as draft.

Commits — Conventional Commits, kept honest

Format:

<type>(<optional scope>): <imperative summary, lower-case, no period>

<body — what changed and why, wrapped at ~72 cols>

<footer — refs, breaking changes>

Types: feat, fix, chore, docs, refactor, test, perf, build, ci, revert.

Summary line rules:

  • 50 chars or fewer when possible, hard cap 72.
  • Imperative mood (add, not added/adds).
  • No trailing period.
  • Scope is optional; use it when there's an obvious area (feat(webhook): …, fix(db): …).

Body rules:

  • Always include one if the change isn't self-evident from the diff.
  • Explain what changed and why — never restate the diff line by line. Mention trade-offs or alternatives rejected if relevant.
  • One blank line between summary and body.
  • Reference issues with Refs #123 or Closes #123.

Footers:

  • Closes #N to auto-close an issue on merge.
  • BREAKING CHANGE: <what breaks, how to migrate> for breakages.
  • Co-Authored-By: lines when pairing.

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.
