SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This policy enforces a strict single-worktree workflow to prevent parallel development that can lead to conflicts, misplaced changes, and complicated merges.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Enforces that all work occurs within a single Git checkout to avoid accidentally creating or switching to additional worktrees.
  • Provides clear ownership guidance when conflicts arise and ensures serial progress on tasks.
  • Use Case: A developer is about to introduce a feature; they follow the single-checkout rule, document changes, and avoid creating an isolated worktree.

Quick Start

Proceed with repository tasks using only the current checkout and ensure any new work is done serially in-place.
