The SKILL.md format is native to Claude (Claude Code, Desktop, claude.ai). The instructions inside adapt to other assistants: Cursor rules, GitHub Copilot instructions, Windsurf rules, Custom GPTs, AGENTS.md for OpenAI Codex, and GEMINI.md for Google Gemini CLI — our conversion guides cover each, and the free converter on the tools page does the wrapping for you.

Asked for help before opening a PR from a one-commit branch named 'my-fix' with the message 'fixed stuff': the skill named the exact branch convention (bugfix/login-captcha-refresh), rewrote the commit to its own Conventional Commits worked example almost verbatim, and specified rebase-onto-develop per its own merge-strategy table — all more precise than generic advice, none of it wrong. (Listed here under our older name; the skill's own name is "Git Workflow Standards".)

What Git Workflow Standards does

Defines concrete Git standards for a team: Conventional Commits format with a type table, a branch-naming/lifecycle table (feature/bugfix/hotfix/release), rebase-vs-merge rules, conflict-resolution steps, and PR/review templates, backed by 7 references/*.md deep-dive files bundled in the same folder (all confirmed present). Interactive git operations are advisory — it tells you the exact command, you run it. Triggers on requests to create a commit, manage branches, follow a git workflow, or handle merge conflicts.
