+# Git Workflow — Engineering Specification
+
+> Production-grade specification for git operations with conventional commits and secret detection at FAANG scale.
+
+---
+
+## 1. Overview
+
+Git Workflow provides automated git operations: staging, conventional commits, push, PR creation, and merge — with mandatory secret detection before every commit. The skill operates as an **Automation (scripted)** skill — it executes shell commands (`git add`, `git commit`, `git push`) with side effects on the git index, working tree, local repository, and remote. It includes commit splitting logic and output formatting.
+
+**Contract Version:** 2.0.0
+**Backward Compatibility:** breaking (first hardened version)
+**Breaking Changes:** None — new spec for first hardening
+
+---
+
+## 2. Problem Statement
+
+Git workflow at scale faces four quantified problems:
+
+| Problem | Measurement | Impact |
+|---------|-------------|--------|
+| Secrets committed to repos | 1 in 200 commits contains leaked credentials | Security breaches |
+| Non-conventional commit messages | 40% of commits lack type/scope format | Unreadable changelog, broken automation |
+| Monolithic commits | 35% of commits mix features, fixes, and config | Impossible to bisect or revert |
+| Push failures without recovery | 25% of rejected pushes lead to force-push | History corruption |
+
+Git Workflow eliminates these with mandatory secret scanning, enforced conventional commit format, auto-split logic, and rebase-before-push recovery.
+
+---
+
+## 3. Design Goals
+
+| ID | Goal | Measurable Constraint |
+|----|------|-----------------------|
+| G1 | Zero secrets committed | Regex scan blocks commit if match found |
+| G2 | 100% conventional format | `type(scope): description` enforced |
+| G3 | Commit splitting | Split if: >10 unrelated files OR mixed types OR multiple scopes |
+| G4 | Single commit threshold | ≤ 3 files AND ≤ 50 lines AND same type/scope |
+| G5 | Clean push recovery | `git pull --rebase` on push rejection |
+| G6 | Structured output | Fixed format: staged, security, commit, pushed |
+
+---
+
+## 4. Non-Goals
+
+| ID | Excluded | Rationale |
+|----|----------|-----------|
+| NG1 | CI/CD pipeline configuration | Owned by `cicd-pipeline` skill |
+| NG2 | Code review process | Owned by `code-review` skill |
+| NG3 | GitOps deployment (ArgoCD/Flux) | Owned by `gitops-workflow` skill |
+| NG4 | Git server administration | Infrastructure concern |
+| NG5 | Advanced merge strategies (octopus, subtree) | Rare; manual |
+| NG6 | Git LFS management | Specialized concern |
+
+---
+
+## 5. System Boundaries
+
+| Boundary | Owned | Not Owned |
+|----------|-------|-----------|
+| `git add` (staging) | Staging files for commit | File creation |
+| `git commit` (conventional format) | Commit message formatting + execution | Commit content validation |
+| `git push` (with rebase recovery) | Push + recovery on rejection | Remote server |
+| `git diff --cached` (secret scan) | Regex pattern matching | Secret rotation |
+| Commit splitting decision | Split criteria (files, types, scopes) | File grouping logic |
+| PR creation | `gh pr create` invocation | PR review process |
+
+**Side-effect boundary:** Git Workflow modifies: git index, local repository, remote repository (push), and stdout (output). Cannot be undone once pushed to remote.
+
+---
+
+## 6. Integration Model
+
+### 6.1 Agent Contract
+
+#### Input Schema
+
+```
+Request_Type: string          # "cm" | "cp" | "pr" | "merge" | "status"
+Context: {
+  message: string | null      # Commit message (auto-generated if null)
+  scope: string | null        # Commit scope
+  type: string | null         # Commit type (feat, fix, docs, etc.)
+  files: Array<string> | null # Specific files to stage (null = all)
+  branch: string | null       # Target branch for merge/PR
+  force: boolean              # Force push (requires explicit approval)
+  skip_security: boolean      # Skip secret scan (FORBIDDEN in production)
+}
+contract_version: string      # "2.0.0"
+```
+
+#### Output Schema
+
+```
+Status: "success" | "blocked" | "error"
+Data: {
+  staged: {
+    file_count: number
+    additions: number
+    deletions: number
+  } | null
+  security: {
+    passed: boolean
+    violations: Array<{
+      file: string
+      line: number
+      pattern: string         # Which secret pattern matched
+    }>
+  } | null
+  commit: {
+    hash: string              # Short commit hash
+    message: string           # Full conventional commit message
+    type: string
+    scope: string | null
+  } | null
+  pushed: boolean
+  split_recommendation: {
+    should_split: boolean
+    reason: string
+    suggested_groups: Array<{
+      type: string
+      scope: string
+      files: Array<string>
+    }>
+  } | null
+  metadata: {
+    contract_version: string
+    backward_compatibility: string
+  }
+}
+Error: ErrorSchema | null
+```
+
+#### Error Schema
+
+```
+Code: string                  # From Error Taxonomy (Section 11)
+Message: string
+Request_Type: string
+Recoverable: boolean
+```
+
+#### Deterministic Guarantees
+
+- Secret scan patterns are fixed: `API_KEY`, `token`, `password`, `secret`, `private_key`, `credentials`.
+- Conventional commit format is fixed: `type(scope): description`.
+- Commit types are fixed: 9 types (feat, fix, docs, refactor, test, chore, perf, ci, build).
+- Split threshold is fixed: >10 unrelated files OR mixed types OR multiple scopes.
+- Single commit threshold: ≤ 3 files AND ≤ 50 lines AND same type/scope.
+- Push rejection recovery is always `git pull --rebase`.
+
+#### What Agents May Assume
+
+- Secret scan runs before every commit (never skipped in production).
+- Conventional commit message is properly formatted.
+- Push rejection triggers rebase recovery exactly once.
+- Output format is fixed and parseable.
+
+#### What Agents Must NOT Assume
+
+- Push is always successful (remote may reject).
+- Force push is allowed without explicit user approval.
+- Secret detection catches all credential formats (regex-based, not entropy-based).
+- Merge conflicts resolve automatically.
+
+#### Side-Effect Boundaries
+
+| Operation | Side Effects |
+|-----------|-------------|
+| cm (stage + commit) | Git index modified, local commit created |
+| cp (stage + commit + push) | Git index, local commit, remote updated |
+| pr (create PR) | Remote PR created via `gh` CLI |
+| merge | Branch merged, local repository modified |
+| status | None; read-only `git status` |
+
+### 6.2 Workflow Contract
+
+#### Invocation Pattern
+
+```
+1. Stage files (git add -A or specific files)
+2. Run secret scan on staged diff
+3. If secrets found → BLOCK, return violations
+4. If clean → format conventional commit message
+5. Check split criteria → recommend split if needed
+6. Commit with conventional format
+7. Push if requested (cp command)
+8. If push rejected → git pull --rebase → retry push once
+```
+
+#### State Transitions
+
+```
+IDLE → STAGING              [cm/cp invoked]
+STAGING → SCANNING          [files staged]
+SCANNING → BLOCKED          [secrets detected]  // terminal — user must fix
+SCANNING → FORMATTING       [scan passed]
+FORMATTING → SPLITTING      [message formatted]
+SPLITTING → COMMITTING      [single commit decided]
+SPLITTING → SPLIT_NEEDED    [split recommended]  // terminal — user must split
+COMMITTING → PUSHING        [cp command, commit done]
+COMMITTING → COMPLETED      [cm command, commit done]  // terminal
+PUSHING → REBASING          [push rejected]
+PUSHING → COMPLETED         [push accepted]  // terminal
+REBASING → PUSHING          [rebase succeeded, retry push]
+REBASING → CONFLICT         [rebase has conflicts]  // terminal — manual resolution
+```
+
+#### Execution Guarantees
+
+- Secret scan ALWAYS runs before commit (no bypass in production).
+- Push rejection triggers exactly 1 rebase attempt, then fails.
+- Output format is always emitted, even on failure.
+
+#### Failure Propagation Model
+
+| Failure Severity | Propagation | Workflow Action |
+|-----------------|-------------|-----------------|
+| Secrets detected | BLOCK commit | User removes secrets |
+| No changes staged | Return clean exit | No action needed |
+| Push rejected | Auto-rebase once | If still fails → return error |
+| Merge conflicts | Return conflict | Manual resolution |
+| Git not installed | Return error | Install git |
+
+#### Retry Boundaries
+
+- Push: exactly 1 retry after rebase. No further retries.
+- Commit: zero retries (deterministic).
+- Secret scan: zero retries.
+
+#### Isolation Model
+
+- Each invocation operates on the current git working directory.
+- Multiple concurrent git operations on the same repo are NOT safe.
+
+#### Idempotency Expectations
+
+| Operation | Idempotent | Notes |
+|-----------|-----------|-------|
+| cm (stage + commit) | No | Creates new commit each time |
+| cp (stage + commit + push) | No | New commit + push |
+| pr | No | Creates new PR |
+| merge | No | Modifies branch history |
+| status | Yes | Read-only |
+
+---
+
+## 7. Execution Model
+
+### 4-Phase Lifecycle
+
+| Phase | Action | Output |
+|-------|--------|--------|
+| **Stage** | `git add` files | Staged file count |
+| **Scan** | Regex match on `git diff --cached` | Pass or violations |
+| **Commit** | `git commit -m "type(scope): desc"` | Commit hash |
+| **Push** | `git push origin HEAD` (if requested) | Success or rejection |
+
+Phases are sequential. Scan blocks Commit. Push is optional.
+
+---
+
+## 8. Deterministic Design Principles
+
+| Principle | Enforcement |
+|-----------|-------------|
+| Fixed secret patterns | 6 patterns: API_KEY, token, password, secret, private_key, credentials |
+| Fixed commit types | 9 types: feat, fix, docs, refactor, test, chore, perf, ci, build |
+| Fixed commit format | `type(scope): description` — no deviations |
+| Fixed split threshold | >10 files OR mixed types OR multiple scopes → split |
+| Fixed single threshold | ≤ 3 files AND ≤ 50 lines AND same type/scope → single |
+| Fixed push recovery | `git pull --rebase` exactly once on rejection |
+| Security-first | Scan before commit; no skip in production |
+
+---
+
+## 9. State & Idempotency Model
+
+Session-based. Not idempotent. Git state is modified by every commit/push.
+
+| State | Persistent | Scope |
+|-------|-----------|-------|
+| Git index (staged files) | Yes | Until reset |
+| Local commits | Yes | Until revert |
+| Remote commits (after push) | Yes | Permanent (without force) |
+| Secret scan results | No | Per invocation |
+
+---
+
+## 10. Failure Handling Strategy
+
+| Failure Class | Behavior | Caller Recovery |
+|---------------|----------|-----------------|
+| Secrets in staged diff | Return `ERR_SECRETS_DETECTED` + file list | Remove secrets, add to .gitignore |
+| No changes to commit | Return `ERR_NOTHING_TO_COMMIT` | Stage files first |
+| Push rejected | Auto-rebase once, then `ERR_PUSH_REJECTED` | Manual pull/merge |
+| Merge conflicts | Return `ERR_MERGE_CONFLICT` | Manual resolution |
+| Git not installed | Return `ERR_GIT_NOT_FOUND` | Install git |
+| Invalid commit type | Return `ERR_INVALID_TYPE` | Use supported type |
+
+**Invariant:** Secrets ALWAYS block the commit. No override path in production.
+
+---
+
+## 11. Error Taxonomy
+
+| Code | Category | Recoverable | Description |
+|------|----------|-------------|-------------|
+| `ERR_SECRETS_DETECTED` | Security | Yes | Credentials found in staged diff |
+| `ERR_NOTHING_TO_COMMIT` | Validation | Yes | No staged changes |
+| `ERR_PUSH_REJECTED` | Network | Yes | Remote rejected push after rebase |
+| `ERR_MERGE_CONFLICT` | Git | Yes | Merge conflict requires manual resolution |
+| `ERR_GIT_NOT_FOUND` | Infrastructure | No | Git not installed |
+| `ERR_INVALID_TYPE` | Validation | Yes | Commit type not in allowed list |
+| `ERR_FORCE_PUSH_DENIED` | Security | No | Force push without approval |
+
+---
+
+## 12. Timeout & Retry Policy
+
+| Parameter | Default | Maximum | Rationale |
+|-----------|---------|---------|-----------|
+| Stage timeout | 10,000 ms | 30,000 ms | Large repos |
+| Secret scan timeout | 5,000 ms | 15,000 ms | Diff scanning |
+| Commit timeout | 5,000 ms | 10,000 ms | Local operation |
+| Push timeout | 30,000 ms | 60,000 ms | Network dependent |
+| Rebase timeout | 15,000 ms | 30,000 ms | Local + possible fetch |
+| Push retries after rebase | 1 | 1 | Exactly one retry |
+
+---
+
+## 13. Observability & Logging Schema
+
+### Log Entry Format
+
+```json
+{
+  "trace_id": "uuid",
+  "skill_name": "git-workflow",
+  "contract_version": "2.0.0",
+  "execution_id": "uuid",
+  "timestamp": "ISO-8601",
+  "request_type": "string",
+  "files_staged": "number",
+  "security_passed": "boolean",
+  "secrets_found": "number",
+  "commit_hash": "string|null",
+  "commit_type": "string|null",
+  "pushed": "boolean",
+  "rebase_attempted": "boolean",
+  "status": "success|blocked|error",
+  "error_code": "string|null",
+  "duration_ms": "number"
+}
+```
+
+### Required Log Points
+
+| Event | Log Level | Fields |
+|-------|-----------|--------|
+| Files staged | INFO | files_staged, additions, deletions |
+| Security scan passed | INFO | security_passed |
+| Secrets detected | CRITICAL | secrets_found, files, patterns |
+| Commit created | INFO | commit_hash, commit_type, message |
+| Push succeeded | INFO | pushed |
+| Push rejected | WARN | error_code |
+| Rebase attempted | WARN | rebase_attempted |
+| Force push denied | CRITICAL | error_code |
+
+### Metrics
+
+| Metric | Type | Unit |
+|--------|------|------|
+| `gitworkflow.commit.duration` | Histogram | ms |
+| `gitworkflow.secrets.detected` | Counter | per scan |
+| `gitworkflow.push.rejection_rate` | Gauge | 0.0-1.0 |
+| `gitworkflow.commit_type.distribution` | Counter | per type |
+| `gitworkflow.split.recommended` | Counter | per invocation |
+
+---
+
+## 14. Security & Trust Model
+
+### Secret Detection
+
+- 6 regex patterns scanned on every `git diff --cached`.
+- Patterns: `API_KEY`, `token`, `password`, `secret`, `private_key`, `credentials` (case-insensitive).
+- Detection blocks commit — no bypass in production.
+- `skip_security: true` is FORBIDDEN unless explicitly approved by user and documented.
+
+### Force Push Protection
+
+- Force push (`--force`) requires explicit user approval.
+- Without approval: `ERR_FORCE_PUSH_DENIED`.
+
+### Credential Exposure
+
+- Git Workflow does not store, log, or transmit credential values.
+- Violation log entries reference file + line, not the actual secret.
+
+---
+
+## 15. Scalability Model
+
+| Dimension | Constraint | Mitigation |
+|-----------|-----------|------------|
+| Throughput | I/O bound (git operations) | Sequential per repo |
+| Diff scan | File count dependent | 5s default timeout |
+| Push | Network dependent | 30s default timeout |
+| Concurrent repos | Independent | One operation per repo |
+| Large diffs | Regex scan on full cached diff | 15s max scan timeout |
+
+---
+
+## 16. Concurrency Model
+
+Single-threaded per repository. Concurrent git operations on the same repository are NOT safe due to git index locking.
+
+| Dimension | Boundary |
+|-----------|----------|
+| Operations per repo | 1 (sequential) |
+| Concurrent repos | Unlimited (independent) |
+| Git index lock | Owned by current operation |
+| Shared state | Git index, working tree |
+
+---
+
+## 17. Resource Lifecycle Management
+
+| Resource | Created By | Destroyed By | Max Lifetime |
+|----------|-----------|-------------|--------------|
+| Git index lock | Stage phase | Commit/push completion | Operation duration |
+| Staged changes | Stage phase | Commit or reset | Until next operation |
+| Local commit | Commit phase | Revert (manual) | Permanent |
+| Remote commit | Push phase | Force push (manual) | Permanent |
+| Secret scan results | Scan phase | End of invocation | Single invocation |
+
+**Critical invariant:** Git index lock MUST be released after every operation, including failures.
+
+---
+
+## 18. Performance Constraints
+
+| Operation | P50 Target | P99 Target | Hard Limit |
+|-----------|-----------|-----------|------------|
+| Stage (small repo) | < 500 ms | < 2,000 ms | 10,000 ms |
+| Stage (large repo) | < 2,000 ms | < 10,000 ms | 30,000 ms |
+| Secret scan | < 1,000 ms | < 5,000 ms | 15,000 ms |
+| Commit | < 500 ms | < 2,000 ms | 10,000 ms |
+| Push (network) | < 5,000 ms | < 20,000 ms | 60,000 ms |
+
+---
+
+## 19. Operational Risks
+
+| Risk | Likelihood | Impact | Mitigation |
+|------|-----------|--------|------------|
+| Secret bypass | Low (blocked by default) | Credential leak | No production override |
+| Monolithic commits | Medium | Hard to revert | Split recommendation with threshold |
+| Push rejection loop | Low | Blocked progress | Exactly 1 rebase retry |
+| Merge conflicts | Medium | Manual work | Return conflict details |
+| Force push data loss | Low | History corruption | Approval required; `ERR_FORCE_PUSH_DENIED` |
+| Git index lock stale | Low | Blocked operations | Lock released on all exit paths |
