FAQPage Schema

How do I validate my git repository setup for agent-driven development?▼

Validate your git repository setup by checking branch structure, verifying main and development branches exist, confirming branch protection rules are configured, and identifying missing required workflows or CODEOWNERS files to ensure a reliable agent-driven development environment.

What is git branch protection validation and why is it needed for automated workflows?▼

Git branch protection validation verifies that rules are configured on critical branches to prevent unauthorized changes. It is needed for automated workflows to ensure required status checks pass and CODEOWNERS review changes before code is merged.

Can I check if a specific repository has proper branch protection rules before starting development work?▼

Yes, you can assess the current repository or specify a different one to check for proper branch protection rules, development workflow guidance, and required workflows before starting agent-driven development work.

How do I troubleshoot git workflow issues related to missing development branches?▼

To troubleshoot git workflow issues, the skill generates a structured validation report identifying missing development branches, incomplete protection rules, and absent CODEOWNERS, providing actionable remediation guidance for each gap.

Do I need a Git MCP server to run repository validation checks?▼

Yes, the repository validation checks leverage a Git MCP server to perform safe validations, querying branch structures and protection rules without directly modifying the repository's configuration or code.
