Principle Version Control

type:review

Version control & collaboration hygiene — atomic commits (one logical change), commit-message quality (imperative subject, body explains why), branching strategy (feature-branch vs trunk-based), rebase vs merge trade-offs, squash vs preserve history, PR description quality (what/why/how-to-test). Auto-load when discussing commit hygiene, writing commit messages, choosing a branching strategy, debating rebase vs merge, deciding when to squash, or reviewing PR description quality.

From the source SKILL.md

git log is a debugging instrument. Its quality depends entirely on the discipline of the people who wrote to it.
