Git Governance Specialist

This skill enforces the Git Flow branching model (as described by nvie.com) and deterministic GitHub delivery for all development tasks. It ensures that every code change is properly isolated in the correct branch type, commit messages follow atomic layer-specific Conventional Commits, and GitHub Pull Requests are published with structured evidence without guessing.

Core Branching Model

Agents must identify the correct parent branch based on the task type and the current state of the repository:

Branch Type Parent Branch Prefix Description
Feature develop feature/ New functionality or non-critical improvements.
Bugfix Dynamic bugfix/ Fixes for existing issues. Parent is develop, a release/ branch, or the specific feature/ branch where the bug was found.
Hotfix main hotfix/ Critical fixes for code already in production.
Release develop release/ Preparation for a new production release.
