Critical Rules
- Use Conventional Commits format for all commit messages
- Commit complete units of work -- don't commit partial or in-progress changes
- Squash merge feature branches -- never merge commits directly
- One branch per spec/feature; branch name format:
feat/{slug}
- Never force-push to
main or shared branches
- Never push without explicit user confirmation
Verification
- Commit messages follow unscoped Conventional Commits format (
type: description)
- Branch is up to date with base branch before creating PR
- PR title is under 70 characters with PR# suffix convention
