What problem does it solve?
Prevents confusing, unreviewable commit history by enforcing atomic changes, high-signal commit messages, and disciplined branching/PR practices.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Atomic commits for reliable bisect and safe reverts: split by concern (refactor vs behavior vs tests) so each commit has a single revert reason.
- Commit-message quality for long-term maintainability: use an imperative subject and a body that explains why and what would break if reverted.
- Branching and PR hygiene for low review friction: choose feature branches vs trunk-based development appropriately, apply rebase/merge/squash rules intentionally, and write PR descriptions that answer what/why/how-to-test.
Quick Start
Ask the assistant: "How should I split my current work into atomic commits, what commit-message format should I use, and should this PR be squash-merged or preserve history based on our review needs?"
