Use when naming or scoping a branch, writing or fixing a commit message, picking the gitmoji for a commit, untangling history (rebase versus merge versus squash), or cutting a versioned release — the portable git-convention layer for any repo. Covers gitmoji + Conventional Commits, SemVer tags, branch hygiene, force-push safety and gh pr/release mechanics. NOT the land-it decision and pre-ship checklist (that is `ship`), NOT an isolated checkout before coding (that is `worktrees`), NOT CI/CD…
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# git-workflow — the grammar and hygiene of version control Git history is a message to the next human who reads `git log`, runs `git blame` on a broken line, or bisects a regression at 2am. That human is usually future-you. **Every rule in this skill exists to make the next reader's job faster**, not to make this moment cheaper. A repo with legible branch names, conventional commits, and a clean linear narrative is a repo you can reason about; a repo with `wip`, `fix stuff`, and force-pushed shared history is one you fight. This is the **portable convention layer**. It is independent of any SDD phase or CI platform — it is the grammar that `../ship/SKILL.md`, `../worktrees/SKILL.md`, and `../deployment/SKILL.md` all lean on. It does not decide *whether to land* the work (that is ship) and it does not automate releases in a pipeline (that is deployment). It tells you how to name, commit, untangle, and tag — correctly. ## Branch naming Name a branch from its *intent*, prefixed by its kind, as a kebab-case slug. Keep it short-lived: hours to days, not weeks. Long branches drift from `main` and turn into merge pain. …

How to install
mdr add ericrisco/rsc-harness/git-workflow@sha256:574ce5014b9e0237The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260820.b177c74, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
