Shipping Patterns for FAST

Use this guide when shipping changes in the FAST monorepo — writing PR descriptions, generating change files, and keeping documentation up to date.

Guardrails

Do NOT perform any of the following actions autonomously. These require explicit human action:

• Do not push branches — no git push, git push --force, or any remote push operations.
• Do not create pull requests — no GitHub API calls, gh pr create, or MCP tools that create PRs.
• Do not create or modify GitHub issues — no gh issue create, issue comments, or label changes.
• Do not merge or close pull requests — no gh pr merge, gh pr close, or equivalent.
• Do not publish packages — no npm publish, beachball publish, or release operations.
• Do not modify branch protection or repository settings.

You may prepare all of these (e.g., draft a PR description, generate change files, stage commits) but the human must execute the final action.
