name: feature-workflow description: Work on a new feature or fix by creating a branch, implementing changes, and submitting a PR with GH CLI. Use when picking up a new todo item.

Feature Workflow

Overview

Create a branch per task, implement the change, and open a pull request using gh. Keep the workflow lightweight and consistent.

Workflow (PowerShell)

1) Identify the task

• Confirm the todo item or issue number.
• If needed, note acceptance criteria and key touchpoints.

2) Create a branch

• Pull latest default branch:
  • git fetch origin
  • git checkout main
  • git pull
• Create a branch named after the task:
  • git checkout -b fix/<short-slug>
  • or git checkout -b feat/<short-slug>

3) Implement the change

• Make focused changes tied to the task.
• Update docs or tests if required by the task.

4) Commit changes

• Use Conventional Commits:
  • feat(scope): ...
  • fix(scope): ...
• Include only relevant files.

5) Push and open PR

• Push the branch:
  • git push -u origin <branch>
• Create PR with GH CLI:
  • gh pr create --title "..." --body "..."
