Skillsman Branch

Overview

Use this skill to turn natural-language branch requests into safe Git/GitHub branch plans and, when requested, execute the branch operations. Prefer Pull Requests for integration and enforce the team's protected-branch rules.

Branch Model

Long-lived branches:

• main: production branch; only stable released or releasable code.
• develop: development integration branch; daily feature work branches from and merges back here.

Temporary branches:

• release/<version>: release candidate branch, for example release/1.9.0.
• feature/<yyyymmdd>-<short-name>: new feature work.
• bugfix/<yyyymmdd>-<short-name>: normal defects.
• hotfix/<yyyymmdd>-<short-name>: urgent production fixes.
