# Git & PR Workflow Standards

## Core Principles

* **Small PRs:** <=300 LOC changed ideally
* **Commit often:** Early, meaningful commits with clear messages
* **Linear history:** Prefer rebase over merge commits
* **Professional:** No AI attribution, no tool branding, clean descriptions

## ABSOLUTE ZERO-TOLERANCE RULE: NO AI ATTRIBUTION

**NEVER, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, include ANY of the following in:**
* Git commit messages
* Pull request descriptions
* Issue comments
* GitHub discussions
* Code comments
* Documentation
* ANY public-facing repository content

### STRICTLY FORBIDDEN TEXT - NEVER USE

* "Claude"
* "Anthropic"
* "claude.com"
* "Claude Code"
* "Generated with Claude"
* "Co-Authored-By: Claude"
* Any emoji followed by "Generated with" or "Powered by"
* Any reference to AI assistants, AI code generation, or automated tools
* Any branding, attribution, or links to third-party AI services

### CORRECT FORMAT - ALWAYS USE

* Clean, professional commit messages
* Clear description of what changed
* Explanation of why the change was made
* No attribution, no branding, no tool references

## Examples

### FORBIDDEN COMMIT

```
Add multi-dimension vector support

- Support for 384, 768, 1024, and 1536 dimensions

Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code)

Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>
```

### CORRECT COMMIT

```
Add multi-dimension vector support

- Support for 384, 768, 1024, and 1536 dimensions
- Update validation logic for new dimensions
- Add comprehensive test coverage
```

### FORBIDDEN PR DESCRIPTION

```markdown
## Summary
Implemented new authentication flow with JWT tokens.

## Test Plan
All tests passing.

```

### CORRECT PR DESCRIPTION

```markdown
## Summary
Implemented new authentication flow with JWT tokens.

## Test Plan
All tests passing.
```

## Enforcement

* **ZERO TOLERANCE** rule with **NO EXCEPTIONS**
* Every commit must be verified before pushing
* Every PR must be reviewed for attribution before creating
* If attribution is found, it must be removed immediately via force push or amendment
* This rule applies to ALL repositories, ALL projects, ALL commits

## PR Requirements

Every PR must include:

* **Problem/Context:** What issue are we solving and why?
* **Solution summary:** How does this change address the problem?
* **Test plan:** Commands + results proving functionality
* **Risk/rollback:** Potential issues and how to revert if needed
* **Story link + Type + Estimate:** Link to issue/story with type (feature/bug/chore) and points
