SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill prevents context from bleeding between different products, clients, companies, or work modes by letting you separate reusable AI context into distinct gc-branches.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Switch Existing Context: Move to an already-created gc-branch when continuing work for a specific project or team.
  • Create Fresh Context: Create a new empty gc-branch when starting a new product, client, or workflow.
  • Confirm Active State: Run a status check after checkout so the active gc-branch is always explicit and visible.
  • Use Case: A consultant juggling several clients can keep each client’s background knowledge isolated so the AI does not mix conventions, terminology, or repo relationships.

Quick Start

Use the checkout skill to switch to the correct gc-branch for this workstream and then show the active status.

FAQPage Schema
How do I isolate AI context between different clients to prevent context bleed?▼

To isolate AI context between clients, you can use gc-branches to separate reusable context into distinct branches. This prevents conventions and terminology from mixing across different products or teams.

How do I switch to an existing gc-branch for a specific project?▼

Switching to an existing gc-branch requires a checkout action to move to the target branch. You must follow this with a status check to confirm the active branch and prevent context bleed.

When do I need to create a new gc-branch for my workflow?▼

You need to create a new empty gc-branch when starting a new product, client, or workflow. This isolates the global context for that specific workstream from your other parallel projects.

What is the best way to manage parallel workstreams across different repositories?▼

The best way to manage parallel workstreams is isolating global context using distinct gc-branches. This keeps each team or repository relationship explicit and prevents background knowledge from mixing.

How do I confirm the active gc-branch after changing context?▼

To confirm the active gc-branch after changing context, run a status check immediately following the checkout action. This verifies the explicit branch and ensures no context bleed occurs.
