Orchestrator Git Standards Skill

CRITICAL: Follow Orchestrator AI Git standards: conventional branch names, conventional commits, clean history.

When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when:

• Creating branches
• Making commits
• Organizing git workflow
• Following project Git standards

Branch Naming Standards

✅ CORRECT

feature/user-authentication
feature/add-api-endpoint
fix/login-bug
fix/memory-leak
chore/update-dependencies
chore/refactor-service
docs/update-readme
test/add-unit-tests
refactor/auth-service

❌ WRONG

❌ my-feature
❌ bugfix
❌ update
❌ feature_branch
❌ FEATURE-BRANCH
❌ feature/user authentication (spaces)

Commit Message Standards

See Conventional Commits Skill for complete format. Quick reference:

# Format
<type>(<scope>): <description>

# Examples
feat(auth): add user authentication
fix(api): resolve memory leak
chore(deps): update dependencies
docs(readme): update installation guide
test(auth): add unit tests for auth service
refactor(api): restructure service layer

Git Workflow Pattern

1. Create Branch

# From main
git checkout main
git pull

# Create feature branch
git checkout -b feature/user-authentication

2. Make Changes

# Edit files
vim apps/api/src/auth/auth.service.ts

# Stage changes
git add .

# Commit with conventional format
git commit -m "feat(auth): add user authentication service"

3. Push and PR

# Push branch
git push origin feature/user-authentication

# Open PR on GitHub
# Follow PR process (see GitHub Workflow Skill)

4. Update Branch

# If main has new commits
git checkout main
git pull
git checkout feature/user-authentication
git rebase main  # or git merge main

Commit Types

| Type | Purpose | Example | |------|---------|---------| | feat | New feature | feat(auth): add login | | fix | Bug fix | fix(api): resolve memory leak | | chore | Maintenance | chore(deps): update packages | | docs | Documentation | docs(readme): update install | | test | Tests | test(auth): add unit tests | | refactor | Refactoring | refactor(api): restructure | | style | Formatting | style: format code | | perf | Performance | perf(api): optimize query |

Scope Guidelines

Scopes should match affected areas:

# API scopes
feat(api): add endpoint
fix(api): resolve bug

# Module scopes
feat(auth): add authentication
fix(llm): resolve provider issue

# Feature scopes
feat(agents): add new agent type
fix(webhooks): resolve status tracking

Git History Best Practices

✅ DO

• Keep commits focused (one logical change per commit)
• Use descriptive commit messages
• Write clear commit descriptions
• Rebase before PR (clean history)
• Squash commits in PR if needed

❌ DON'T

• Don't commit unrelated changes together
• Don't use vague commit messages
• Don't force push to shared branches
• Don't commit broken code
• Don't commit secrets or credentials

Commit Message Examples

✅ Good Commit Messages

feat(auth): add JWT token authentication

- Implement JWT token generation
- Add token validation middleware
- Update auth service with token logic

fix(api): resolve memory leak in service

The service was holding references to completed requests.
Now properly cleans up after request completion.

chore(deps): update NestJS to v10

- Update @nestjs/core to 10.0.0
- Update @nestjs/common to 10.0.0
- Resolve breaking changes

❌ Bad Commit Messages

❌ fix stuff
❌ update
❌ changes
❌ WIP
❌ asdf
❌ fixed bug

Branch Organization

Main Branches

• main - Production-ready code
• develop - Integration branch (if used)

Feature Branches

feature/<feature-name>
# Examples:
feature/user-authentication
feature/add-metrics-dashboard

Fix Branches

fix/<fix-name>
# Examples:
fix/login-error
fix/memory-leak

Chore Branches

chore/<chore-name>
# Examples:
chore/update-dependencies
chore/refactor-service-layer

Git Commands Reference

Common Commands

# Create branch
git checkout -b feature/my-feature

# Stage changes
git add .

# Commit
git commit -m "feat(module): description"

# Push
git push origin feature/my-feature

# Update from main
git checkout main
git pull
git checkout feature/my-feature
git rebase main

# View status
git status

# View log
git log --oneline

# View changes
git diff

Repository Organization

Directory Structure

orchestrator-ai/
├── apps/
│   ├── api/          # NestJS backend
│   ├── web/          # Vue frontend
│   └── n8n/          # N8N workflows
├── storage/          # Database snapshots
├── scripts/          # Utility scripts
└── .github/          # GitHub workflows

Ignore Patterns

.gitignore should include:

• node_modules/
• .env
• dist/
• *.log
• .DS_Store

Checklist for Git Standards

When working with Git:

• [ ] Branch name follows convention (feature/, fix/, etc.)

• [ ] Commit is focused (one logical change)
• [ ] Commit message is descriptive
• [ ] No secrets or credentials committed
• [ ] Code quality gates pass before commit
• [ ] Git history is clean (rebase if needed)
