Why should Claude use JJ commands instead of Git?

Jujutsu repositories have a unique architecture where the working copy is a commit. Using standard Git commands can bypass JJ's tracking or cause metadata desynchronization.

How does this skill prevent terminal hangs?

The guide strictly enforces the use of '-m' flags for messages and prohibits interactive '-i' flags, ensuring commands never wait for user input in an agent environment.

What are Change IDs and why are they used?

Change IDs are stable identifiers that persist across rewrites and rebases, unlike commit hashes which change whenever a commit is modified.

What happens if I make a mistake in JJ?

Jujutsu tracks every operation in an operation log, and this skill knows how to use the 'jj undo' command to revert any action instantly.

How does it handle multi-agent collaboration?

It implements a specific 'Multi-Agent Bookmark Model' where each agent operates on its own named bookmark branched from main to prevent merge conflicts.
