Quick Reference
uv run python .claude/skills/git-workflow-manager/scripts/create_worktree.py \

uv run python .claude/skills/git-workflow-manager/scripts/semantic_version.py develop <current-version>
Git Workflow Manager
Purpose
Handles all git operations following git-flow + GitHub-flow hybrid model.
Branch Structure
main ← Production (tagged vX.Y.Z)
↑
release/vX.Y.Z ← Release candidate
↑
develop ← Integration branch
↑
contrib/<gh-user> ← Personal contribution branch
↑
feature/<timestamp>_<slug> ← Isolated feature (worktree)
hotfix/vX.Y.Z-hotfix.N ← Production hotfix (worktree)
Protected Branch Policy
CRITICAL: This skill manages git operations and MUST enforce branch protection rules.
Protected branches (NEVER delete, NEVER commit directly):
main - Production branch (tagged releases only)
develop - Integration branch (PR merges only)
All scripts in this skill comply with:
- No direct commits to
main (except tag operations)
- No direct commits to
develop
- All merges via pull requests (user merges in GitHub UI)
Script validation:
- All scripts in
scripts/ directory are validated for compliance
- Test:
tests/test_branch_protection.py verifies no unintended main/develop commits
- See WORKFLOW.md "Branch Protection Policy" for complete rules
Scripts
create_worktree.py
Creates feature/release/hotfix worktree.
python .claude/skills/git-workflow-manager/scripts/create_worktree.py \
<feature|release|hotfix> <slug> <base_branch>
Arguments:
workflow_type: feature, release, or hotfix
slug: Short descriptive name (e.g., 'json-validator')
base_branch: Branch to create from (e.g., 'contrib/username')
cleanup_feature.py
Archives TODO file, removes worktree, prints branch-deletion commands.
python .claude/skills/git-workflow-manager/scripts/cleanup_feature.py <slug>
semantic_version.py
Backward-compat shim that re-exports from release_lib.semver (issue #240).
python .claude/skills/git-workflow-manager/scripts/semantic_version.py \
<base_branch> <current_version>
Version bump logic:
- MAJOR: Breaking changes (API changes, removed features)
- MINOR: New features (new files, new functions)
- PATCH: Bug fixes, refactoring, docs
Removed in #242 (superseded by release-pilot skill + release_lib):
create_release.py, tag_release.py, backmerge_workflow.py,
cleanup_release.py, daily_rebase.py, generate_work_items_from_pr.py,
release_workflow.py, pr_workflow.py.
