manage-git

A router skill for Git workflow conventions. First classify the request as either an output workflow or an action workflow, then load the relevant convention reference.

---

Workflow Types

Output workflow

Use when the user asks for text to use elsewhere.

Typical verbs: give, suggest, name, write, generate, draft, improve, review, format.

For pure generation requests, return only the requested artifact unless the user asks for explanation. A branch-name request returns only the branch name. A commit-message request returns only the commit message.

Review requests may include concise feedback because the requested artifact is evaluation, not just generation.

Do not wrap generated artifacts in a sentence, markdown, quotes, or extra explanation unless the user asks for options or rationale.

Action workflow

Use when the user asks Codex to perform a Git operation in the repository.

Typical verbs: create, checkout, switch, start, commit, apply, rename.

For successful actions, run the Git command and do not add extra explanatory output unless the user asks for it or the command output is necessary to understand the result. If an action cannot be completed safely, state the blocker briefly and ask at most one focused question.

For branch actions, create or switch to the branch using the selected branch convention. For commit actions, create the commit using the selected message convention.

Routing Table

Request Type	Workflow Type	Reference
Branch name generation	Output	references/branch-naming.md
Branch name review	Output	references/branch-naming.md
Branch creation, checkout, switch/start	Action	references/branch-naming.md
Commit message generation/improvement	Output	references/commit-message.md
Commit staged changes	Action	references/commit-message.md

Repository Safety

• Inspect first: Check the current branch and worktree before action workflows.
• Preserve user work: Do not overwrite, reset, or discard user changes unless the user explicitly asks.
• Handle branch conflicts: If a requested branch already exists, switch to it only if that clearly matches the request; otherwise report the conflict briefly.
• Commit staged input: Use staged changes as the commit input. Do not stage unrelated files unless the user explicitly asks.

---

Verification

For action workflows, report the Git command outcome and any blocker that prevented completion. For output workflows, ensure generated branch names and commit messages match the selected reference and repository evidence.
