How does this skill handle pull requests?

The skill utilizes the GitHub CLI (gh) to allow Claude to view PR details, diffs, and comments, and even post replies directly from the terminal.

What commit format is required?

It enforces the Conventional Commits specification (e.g., feat:, fix:, docs:) to ensure a structured and readable project history.

Why does this skill recommend fast-forward merges?

Fast-forward merges are used to maintain a clean, linear history without the complexity or potential conflicts often associated with frequent rebasing.

Does this skill help with monorepo versioning?

Yes, it defines specific rules for version strings in package.json vs. Git tags to ensure compatibility with npm and automated release workflows.

Are code quality checks automated?

Yes, the workflow includes pre-commit hooks that run Biome checks and package formatting automatically after installation.
