Change description: $ARGUMENTS

Instructions

Follow these phases in order. Each phase has a gate — do not proceed until the gate is satisfied.

---

Phase 1: Branch Setup

1. Derive a short kebab-case name from the change description.
2. Switch to main: git checkout main
3. Pull latest: git pull origin main
4. Create a new branch from main: git checkout -b chore/<name>
   • If the branch already exists, ask the user whether to resume it (git checkout chore/<name>) or choose a new name.
5. Confirm the branch: git branch --show-current

Gate: On the correct chore/<name> branch, based on latest main.

---

Phase 2: Scope

1. Parse the change description — what needs to change and why?
2. Identify the affected files.
3. Confirm this is a non-code change (config, docs, rules, CI, dependencies). If it involves application logic or tests, suggest /agent-dashboard:feature or /agent-dashboard:fix instead. If a rule or config change introduces new agent behavior, consider /agent-dashboard:feature for planning and review.

Gate: The scope is clear and limited to non-code changes.

---

Phase 3: Implement

1. Make the changes.
2. Run the smallest relevant verification:
   • Docs/rules/config text only: run no test, or a docs/config validation command if the repo has one.
   • Dependency, CI, Makefile, formatter, or test-runner changes: run the affected native command and full make test/make test-fast when available.
   • Agent workflow/rule changes that alter behavior: run the package test covering that workflow, or switch to /agent-dashboard:feature if implementation-level validation is needed.

Gate: Changes are applied. The relevant verification is complete and named.

---

Phase 4: Review

Review all changes for correctness and convention adherence. Apply all project rules and conventions that are in your context.

Gate: No issues remain.

---

Phase 5: Commit and Open PR

1. Commit with a conventional commit message. Use the appropriate type:

   Type	When
   chore	Dependency bumps, version bumps, tooling config
   docs	Documentation, READMEs, comments
   ci	CI/CD pipeline changes
   build	Build system, Makefile changes

2. Open the PR by invoking /agent-dashboard:pr. That skill owns conditional cleanup/formatting, final test gating when available, push, and gh pr create. Do not call gh pr create directly — a pr-skill-gate hook will block it.

Gate: Clean commit with conventional message. PR opened via /agent-dashboard:pr.
