Safe Workflow

SAFe Workflow Skill

TEMPLATE: This skill uses {{TICKET_PREFIX}} as a placeholder. Replace with your project's ticket prefix (e.g., WOR, PROJ, FEAT).

Purpose

Enforce SAFe-compliant git workflow with standardized branch naming, commit message format, and rebase-first merge strategy.

When This Skill Applies

• Starting work on a ticket
• Creating commits or branches
• Asking about PR workflow or contribution guidelines
• Asking "how should I commit this?"

Branch Naming Convention

Format: {{TICKET_PREFIX}}-{number}-{short-description}

# Good
{{TICKET_PREFIX}}-447-create-safe-workflow-skill
{{TICKET_PREFIX}}-123-fix-login-redirect

# Bad
feature/add-dark-mode       (missing ticket number)
john-new-feature            (personal naming)

Commit Message Format

Format: type(scope): description [{{TICKET_PREFIX}}-XXX]

feat(harness): create safe-workflow skill [{{TICKET_PREFIX}}-447]
fix(auth): resolve login redirect [{{TICKET_PREFIX}}-57]

Rebase-First Workflow

# 1. Start from latest main
git checkout {{MAIN_BRANCH}} && git pull origin {{MAIN_BRANCH}}

# 2. Create feature branch
git checkout -b {{TICKET_PREFIX}}-{number}-{description}

# 3. Make commits
git commit -m "type(scope): description [{{TICKET_PREFIX}}-XXX]"

# 4. Before pushing - rebase
git fetch origin && git rebase origin/{{MAIN_BRANCH}}

# 5. Push with force-with-lease
git push --force-with-lease

Pre-PR Checklist

1. Branch name follows convention
2. All commits have ticket reference
3. Rebased on latest main
4. CI passes: {{CI_VALIDATE_COMMAND}}
