Task Guidelines
Creating Branches
- Use descriptive names:

- Create from latest main/master when appropriate
- Inform user of the new branch name
Writing Commit Messages

[optional body]
[optional footer(s)]
Types: feat, fix, docs, style, refactor, test, chore
Example:
feat(auth): add password reset functionality
