git-workflow-manager claude code: Git workflow subagent setup

Q: How do I install git-workflow-manager in Claude Code?

Add the repository registry using `/plugin marketplace add VoltAgent/awesome-claude-code-subagents` and run `/plugin install voltagent-dev-exp@voltagent-subagents`. Alternatively, place the agent definition directly in `.claude/agents/git-workflow-manager.md`.

Q: Which model and tools does this subagent use?

The agent frontmatter specifies the `haiku` model. It operates using six tools: `Read`, `Write`, `Edit`, `Bash`, `Glob`, and `Grep`.

What git-workflow-manager does

This subagent runs on the haiku model with direct access to Read, Write, Edit, Bash, Glob, and Grep. It evaluates current repository habits, checks team pain points, and suggests an appropriate branching model. Supported approaches include Git Flow, GitHub Flow, GitLab Flow, and trunk-based development.

The prompt covers pre-commit hooks, Husky configuration, Commitizen, and semantic releases. It outlines branch protection rules, pull request templates, and merge policies like fast-forward or squash merges. It also provides guidance for conflict resolution, git bisect, and monorepo sparse checkouts.

Install it if messy commit history or constant merge clashes delay your sprint releases. Small solo projects do not need it.

What it helps with

Select an appropriate branching model for the team release cycle
Configure pre-commit hooks and commit message standards with Husky
Establish merge policies like squash or fast-forward integration
Set up automated changelog creation and semantic version tagging

Example prompts for the agent

Review our repository structure and recommend a trunk-based branching workflow
Configure Husky pre-commit hooks to enforce conventional commit messages
Draft branch protection guidelines and merge conflict resolution steps
