Follow these conventions when creating commits for Sentry projects.
main or master.Before committing, always check the current branch:
git branch --show-current
If you're on main or master, you MUST create a feature branch first — unless the user explicitly asked to commit to main. Do not ask the user whether to create a branch; just proceed with branch creation. The create-branch skill will still propose a branch name for the user to confirm.
Use the create-branch skill to create the branch. After create-branch completes, verify the current branch has changed before proceeding:
git branch --show-current
If still on main or master (e.g., the user aborted branch creation), stop — do not commit.
