It relies on Conventional Commits (`feat`, `fix`, `refactor`, `chore`, and related tags). Every commit must stay atomic. One commit handles one logical change. It provides branch naming conventions like `feature/*` and `hotfix/*`, guidelines on rebase versus merge, and a pull request description template with test checkboxes. The prompt also suggests enforcing rules with Husky and commitlint. Without automated Git hooks, following these standards remains entirely manual for team members. ## Install ### Claude Code (native platform) 1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add AsyrafHussin/agent-skills --skill git-workflow -a claude-code ``` 2. **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `~/.claude/skills/git-workflow/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/git-workflow/ ### Codex 1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add AsyrafHussin/agent-skills --skill git-workflow -a codex ``` 2. **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.agents/skills/git-workflow/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/ ### Cursor 1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add AsyrafHussin/agent-skills --skill git-workflow -a cursor ``` 2. **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.cursor/skills/git-workflow/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/ ### GitHub Copilot 1. **GitHub CLI** ```bash gh skill install AsyrafHussin/agent-skills git-workflow ``` 2. **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.github/skills/git-workflow/SKILL.md` ### Gemini CLI 1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add AsyrafHussin/agent-skills --skill git-workflow -a gemini-cli ``` 2. **Platform CLI** ```bash gemini skills install https://github.com/AsyrafHussin/agent-skills --path skills/git-workflow ``` ### Windsurf (Devin Desktop) **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.devin/skills/git-workflow/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works ### OpenCode **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add AsyrafHussin/agent-skills --skill git-workflow -a opencode ``` ### Claude.ai **Claude.ai** - Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/AsyrafHussin/agent-skills/tree/HEAD/skills/git-workflow/SKILL.md ## When to use it - write Conventional Commits with exact types and scopes - name branches consistently for features and hotfixes - structure pull request descriptions with testing checklists - break large code changes into atomic commits ## Example prompts - Write a conventional commit message for the cart update - Suggest a branch name for the login redirect fix - Draft a pull request description for the new authentication routes ## Source text · SKILL.md · MIT Below is the content of a third-party file.

Guidelines for maintaining a clean, useful git history. ## When to Apply Reference these guidelines when: - Writing commit messages - Creating branches - Setting up git workflows - Reviewing pull requests - Maintaining git history ## Rule Categories by Priority | Priority | Category | Impact | Prefix | |----------|----------|--------|--------| | 1 | Commit Messages | CRITICAL | `commit-` | | 2 | Branching Strategy | HIGH | `branch-` | | 3 | Pull Requests | HIGH | `pr-` | | 4 | History Management | MEDIUM | `history-` | | 5 | Collaboration | MEDIUM | `collab-` | ## Quick Reference ### 1. Commit Messages (CRITICAL) - `commit-conventional` - Use conventional commits - `commit-atomic` - Atomic commits (one logical change) - `commit-present-tense` - Use imperative present tense - `commit-meaningful` - Descriptive, meaningful messages - `commit-body` - Add body for complex changes - `commit-references` - Reference issues/tickets - `commit-git-hooks` - Enforce standards with Husky + commitlint ### 2. Branching Strategy (HIGH) - `branch-naming` - Consistent branch naming - `branch-feature` - Feature branch workflow - `branch-main-protected` - Protect main branch - `branch-short-lived` - Keep branches short-lived - `branch-delete-merged` - Delete merged branches - `branch-release` - Release branch strategy - `branch-workflow-strategies` - GitFlow vs GitHub Flow vs Trunk-Based - `branch-monorepo` - Monorepo git workflows ### 3. Pull Requests (HIGH) - `pr-small` - Keep PRs small and focused - `pr-description` - Write clear descriptions - `pr-reviewers` - Request appropriate reviewers - `pr-ci-pass` - Ensure CI passes - `pr-squash` - Squash when appropriate - `pr-draft` - Use draft PRs for WIP and early feedback ### 4. History Management (MEDIUM) - `history-rebase` - Rebase vs merge - `history-no-force-push` - Avoid force push to shared branches - `history-clean` - Keep history clean - `history-tags` - Use tags for releases - `history-worktree` - Work on multiple branches with git worktree ### 5. Collaboration (MEDIUM) - `collab-code-review` - Effective code reviews - `collab-conflicts` - Handle merge conflicts - `collab-communication` - Communicate changes - `collab-gitignore` - .gitignore best practices ## Essential Guidelines ### Conventional Commits ``` # Format ():
