## When to Use This Skill

Commit hygiene, branch strategy, and recovery skills preventing shared-repo disasters.
Use it whenever a matching task appears in conversation — the agent loads these instructions on demand.

## Steps

1. Atomic commits: one logical change, imperative message with why
2. Branch names carry ticket refs: feat/123-short-slug
3. Rebase local before PR; merge only via repo's chosen strategy
4. Master interactive rebase, reflog rescue, and bisect fluently
5. Never rewrite shared branches; force-push with lease only when agreed
6. Tag releases and keep changelog in sync mechanically
7. Profile with --cpu-prof and clinic; inspect event-loop lag
8. Guard against blocking calls in hot paths with async worker offload

## Common Pitfalls

- git push --force default aliasing over teammates
- Thousand-line 'WIP' commits nobody can review
