Use this skill when:
type:* label1. Verify issue has `status:approved` label
2. Create branch: feat/*, fix/*, docs/*, refactor/*, chore/*
3. Implement changes
4. Run tests locally (unit + e2e)
5. Open PR using the template
6. Add exactly one type:* label
7. Wait for 5 automated checks to pass
Branch names are validated by a GitHub ruleset. Pushes that don't match will be rejected.
Pattern: ^(feat|fix|chore|docs|style|refactor|perf|test|build|ci|revert)\/[a-z0-9._-]+$
| Type | Branch pattern | Example |

Rules:
a-z, 0-9, ., _, - allowed in descriptionThe PR template is at .github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md. Every PR body MUST contain:
Closes #<issue-number>
Valid keywords: Closes #N, Fixes #N, Resolves #N (case insensitive).
The linked issue MUST have the status:approved label.
Check exactly ONE in the template and add the matching label:
| Checkbox | Label to add |
|---|---|
| Bug fix | type:bug |
| New feature | type:feature |
| Documentation only | type:docs |
| Code refactoring | type:refactor |
| Maintenance/tooling | type:chore |
| Breaking change | type:breaking-change |
1-3 bullet points of what the PR does.
| File | Change |
|------|--------|
| `path/to/file` | What changed |
- [x] Unit tests pass locally: `go test ./...`
- [x] E2E tests pass locally: `go test -tags e2e ./internal/server/...`
- [x] Manually tested the affected functionality
All boxes must be checked:
type:* labelCo-Authored-By trailers| Check | Job name | What it verifies |
|---|---|---|
| PR Validation | Check Issue Reference | Body contains Closes/Fixes/Resolves #N |
| PR Validation | Check Issue Has status:approved | Linked issue has status:approved |
| PR Validation | Check PR Has type:* Label | PR has exactly one type:* label |
| CI | Unit Tests | go test ./... passes |
| CI | E2E Tests | go test -tags e2e ./internal/server/... passes |
Commit messages are validated by a GitHub ruleset. Commits that don't match will be rejected.
