Git

Clear, repeatable git workflow with a bias toward safety.

Router

Use the smallest workflow that matches the user intent.

User says Load reference Do
status / what changed (no "worktree" prefix) references/read-only.md read-only inspection
help / usage / man references/cli-help.md show CLI help safely
commit / stage references/commit-workflow.md stage + commit safely
branch / switch references/branch-workflow.md branch operations
worktree create/remove/list references/worktree-workflow.md worktree operations
worktree cleanup / normalize / consolidate references/worktree-maintenance.md auto-clean + consolidate worktrees
worktree summary / worktree status / show worktrees references/worktree-summary.md proactive analysis: PR status, change classification, safe-to-delete verdicts
tag / version references/tag-workflow.md create/list/inspect tags
pr / pull request references/pr-workflow.md create/update PR via gh
pr review / fix pr comments / threads references/pr-review-workflow.md review + respond + fix
merge / rebase / reset / revert references/advanced-workflows.md advanced/recovery (confirm first)

Config (Edit Here)

Worktree working directories (the folders you cd into) live outside .git/.

Set this once and use it everywhere:

WORKTREES_DIR=./.worktrees
WORKTREE_PATH=$WORKTREES_DIR/<topic>

If you want a different location (e.g. ../.worktrees or ~/worktrees/<repo>), update WORKTREES_DIR above and follow the same shape in references/worktree-workflow.md.

Resilience Rules (Worktrees)

  • If multiple worktree root folders are detected (example: both ./.worktrees/ and ../repo-feature-x/ exist), do not delete anything by default.
  • Prefer consolidating into WORKTREES_DIR using git worktree move (when possible) or a remove+re-add plan.
  • If stale metadata exists, propose a cleanup plan: git worktree prune + remove/quarantine orphan directories (with confirmation).

Global Safety Rules (Never Violate)

  • Never force push to main/master.
  • Never commit secrets (env files, keys, credentials).
  • Never rewrite history that is already pushed unless explicitly requested.
  • Always show what will change before an irreversible action.

Confirmation Policy

Read-only commands are always OK.

Everything that changes state/history/remote requires explicit user confirmation:

  • git add, git commit, git push
  • git merge, git rebase, git reset, git revert
  • git worktree add, git worktree remove
  • git tag (create/delete)
  • git branch -d/-D
