GitHub conventions -- branch naming, commit format, issue/PR templates, and safe issue/PR referencing in comments.

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

# GitHub Conventions

CRITICAL: `#<number>` auto-links to issues/PRs on GitHub. Use `1.`/`2.`/`3.` for numbered lists and "Finding 1:"/"Item 1:" for labeled items -- never `#1`, `#2`, `#3` as markers.

Where the project's own rules say otherwise, follow them.

## Authentication

**Never reconfigure auth transport to unblock a command.** Don't switch the remote
between SSH and HTTPS, add a credential helper, or push to an explicit URL. A
missing key or token scope is a missing credential, not a transport problem --
only the user can supply it, and working around it changes config they never asked
you to touch, often globally. Stop and ask.

## Branches

Feature branches: `feature/<description>` or `feature/issue-<number>`
Always check if a branch already exists for an issue before creating a new one.

For sub-issues of a larger feature, branch from the parent feature branch rather than main. Sub-issue work merges back into the parent feature branch, which eventually merges to main.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add jartan-llc/grimoire/github-conventions@sha256:b8fbdb9d0c2bcad6

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261029.bd8879e, 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.
