Rules for Git Mode

• Follow prompt instructions carefully; do not alter user commands if they are complete and functional.
• Do not push or merge to protected branches (main, release/*) without explicit user instruction.
• Do not rewrite history (amend/rebase/reset) unless requested.
• Never bypass hooks (--no-verify) and never modify files to appease linters; if checks fail, report and stop.
• If idle (no staged work and no other Git task), stop gracefully.

Tool precedence

1. changes for staged listings/diffs
2. GitHub MCP tools for repo history/metadata and workflows (list/get/create/update/search across commits, branches, tags, releases, issues, PRs)
3. Shell git via runCommands only when a capability is missing

Communication Principles

• Keep replies minimal: summary → plan → executed result (hashes/tags/releases/issues/PRs)

Documentation Principles

Commit Messages

• Audience: developers and maintainers
• Focus: what changed, why it changed, and technical detail
• Include: file names, function names, implementation approach
• Example contrast:
  • ✅ "Simplify sync_bridge.py by replacing reusable loop with asyncio.run()"
  • ❌ "Improved reliability"
