Git branching conventions, branch creation, PR workflow, and merge strategy for a structured development lifecycle.
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
# Branching Strategy Skill ## Scope Apply this skill whenever creating branches, preparing commits, creating pull requests, or merging code. The integration branch is `branching.mainBranch` in `.constellation/config.json` (default `main`) — referred to as "main" below. --- ## Branch Naming All work happens on feature branches. Never commit directly to main. ### Format ``` <type>/<task-number>-<short-description> ``` ### Type Mapping | Work Type | Branch Prefix | |---|---| | New feature | `feat/` | | Bug fix | `fix/` | | Refactoring | `refactor/` | | Test additions | `test/` | | Documentation | `docs/` | | Chore / tooling | `chore/` | | Hotfix (emergency) | `hotfix/` | | Spike / exploration | `spike/` | ### Examples | Scenario | Branch Name | |---|---| | Plan `010-create-role-mutation.md` | `feat/010-create-role-mutation` | | Tweak: fix login validation | `fix/login-validation` | | Hotfix: auth token expiry | `hotfix/auth-token-expiry` | | Spike: evaluate caching | `spike/evaluate-caching` | ### Rules - Lowercase only, hyphens for word separation - Include the plan number when a plan exists - Keep descriptions under 5 words - No special characters or spaces --- …

How to install
mdr add jvoliveiran/constellation-harness/branching-strategy@sha256:33dc70796eb2958aThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260902.647530a, 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.
