What happens if my branch name is incorrect?

The skill validates branch names against specific patterns like feat/* or fix/*. Pushes with non-compliant names are automatically rejected by GitHub rulesets.

Does this skill handle conventional commits?

Yes, it enforces the Conventional Commits specification, ensuring all commit messages use the correct type, optional scope, and lowercase description format.

How are PR labels managed by this skill?

The skill helps you select and add exactly one required 'type:*' label (such as type:feature or type:bug) to ensure the pull request passes automated validation checks.

Why does this skill require an approved issue?

To prevent scope creep and ensure all changes align with project priorities, the Engram workflow mandates that every PR must link to an issue labeled as 'status:approved'.
