git-workflow-setup

A setup process for organizing Git branches and repository rules, using Git Flow or GitHub Flow. Git Flow uses separate development and release branches, while GitHub Flow usually works from short-lived branches into the main branch.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create or verify branches, protect them, configure merge settings, and optionally add CODEOWNERS and secret scanning on GitHub.
Why use it?
It helps prevent unsafe changes by setting branch protection, merge rules, and selected security checks for the project.

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-setup 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 2d 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 Setup

This skill configures a complete Git workflow for your project, including branch structure, branch protection, merge settings, and security configuration.

What This Skill Does

  1. Project Type Selection - Determine security level (Personal / Small OSS / Large OSS)
  2. Development Style Selection - Solo or Team development
  3. Repository Check - Verify or create GitHub repository
  4. Branch Structure - Create main and develop branches
  5. Branch Protection - Apply protection rules using templates
  6. Merge Settings - Disable squash/rebase merge (merge commit only for Git Flow)
  7. Security Settings - CODEOWNERS, Secret Scanning (based on project type)
  8. Verification - Confirm all settings are correct

Execution Steps

Step 0: Project Type & Development Style

Ask the user about their project type to determine appropriate security settings:

Setting Personal Small OSS Large OSS
Visibility Private Public Public
Secret Scanning Not needed Recommended Required
CODEOWNERS Not needed Recommended Required
develop protection Optional Recommended Required
Fork PR restriction Not needed Optional Recommended

Then ask development style:

  • Solo Development - enforce_admins=false (admin bypass allowed)
  • Team Development - enforce_admins=true (all rules apply to everyone)

Step 1: Repository Check

git remote -v
gh repo view --json nameWithOwner,isPrivate,defaultBranchRef 2>/dev/null

If no repository exists, guide the user to create one first.

Step 2: Branch Structure

Create develop branch if it doesn't exist, push to remote, and verify the default branch.

Step 3: Branch Protection

Apply branch protection using the template files:

  • Solo: ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/templates/.github/branch-protection/solo-development.json
  • Team: ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/templates/.github/branch-protection/team-development.json

What ships with it

2 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.

git-workflow-setup is a skill published in the GitHub repository signalcompose/claude-tools (4 stars, last pushed 5d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 71 tokens to every session and 844 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
