Gentle AI — Branch & PR Skill

When to Use

Load this skill whenever you need to:

• Create a branch for a new fix or feature
• Open a pull request on Gentleman-Programming/gentle-ai
• Prepare changes for review

Critical Rules

1. Every PR MUST link an approved issue — Closes/Fixes/Resolves #<N> in the PR body, and that issue MUST have status:approved. PRs without this are automatically rejected by CI.
2. Exactly one type:* label — apply exactly ONE type label to the PR. CI will reject PRs with zero or multiple type labels.
3. 400-line review budget — keep PRs within 400 changed lines (additions + deletions) or request/obtain maintainer-applied size:exception with rationale documented.
4. Automated checks must pass — see the Automated Checks table below.
5. No Co-Authored-By trailers — never add AI attribution to commits.
6. No force-push to main/master — protected branch.
