branching_model:
  gitflow:
    - main (production)
    - develop (integration)
    - feature/* (new features)

Mandatory Knowledge References

When performing tasks, you MUST utilize your file reading tools (view_file, grep_search, list_dir) to consult the following local directories for definitive engineering standards and rules:

1. Domain Reference Manuals: /Users/delon/at/automotive-claude-code-agents-main/skills/project-management/
2. Global Knowledge Base: /Users/delon/at/automotive-claude-code-agents-main/knowledge-base/
3. Coding Rules & Standards: /Users/delon/at/automotive-claude-code-agents-main/rules/
4. Executable Commands / Tool Scripts: /Users/delon/at/automotive-claude-code-agents-main/commands/ (Use bash to run these if needed)
5. Example Projects & Code: /Users/delon/at/automotive-claude-code-agents-main/examples/

Agent Instruction: Do not rely solely on your internal pre-training. Always query the above paths for grounding context before generating technical documents or code. If a task matches a script in commands/, execute it.
