// Activate when performing git operations. MANDATORY by default - prevents direct commits to main/master, blocks destructive operations (force push, reset --hard). Enforces dev-first workflow where all changes go to dev before main. Assumes branch protection enabled unless disabled in settings.
Activate when starting new work to check for established patterns. Activate when ensuring consistency with team standards or when promoting successful memory patterns. Searches and applies best practices before implementation.
Activate when user wants to save knowledge, search past decisions, or manage persistent memories. Handles architecture patterns, implementation logic, issues/fixes, and past implementations. Uses local SQLite + FTS5 + vector embeddings for fast hybrid search. Supports write, search, update, archive, and list operations.
Activate when user explicitly requests the development workflow process, asks about workflow phases, or says "start work", "begin development", "follow the process". Activate when creating PRs or deploying to production. NOT for simple questions or minor fixes. Executes AUTONOMOUSLY - only pauses when human decision is genuinely required.
Activate when reviewing code, before committing, after committing, or before merging a PR. Activate when user asks to review, audit, check for security issues, or find regressions. Analyzes code for logic errors, regressions, edge cases, security issues, and test gaps. Fixes findings AUTOMATICALLY. Required at process skill quality gates.
Activate when user asks to commit, push changes, create a PR, open a pull request, or submit changes for review. Activate when process skill reaches commit or PR phase. Provides commit message formatting and PR structure. PRs default to dev branch, not main. Works with git-privacy skill.
Activate when asked to auto-review and merge a PR. Runs a closed-loop workflow: subagent Stage 3 review -> fix findings -> re-review -> post ICC-REVIEW receipt -> merge (optional via workflow.auto_merge).

MANDATORY by default. Branch protection is assumed enabled unless explicitly disabled.
main ← STABLE RELEASE ONLY (production-ready)
↑
dev ← INTEGRATION BRANCH (all features merge here first)
↑
feature/* ← DEVELOPMENT (where work happens)
fix/*
chore/*
| From | To | Method | When |
|---|---|---|---|
| feature/* | dev | PR | When feature is complete and tested |
| fix/* | dev | PR | When fix is ready |
| dev | main | PR | When dev is stable and release-ready |
NEVER merge directly to main from feature branches.
Branch protection is ON unless git.branch_protection=false in icc.config.json:
{
"git": {
"branch_protection": false
}
}
