The pre-PR targets scope formatting, linting, tests, and workflow drift checks to the branch changes.\n\n> **Timeout budget:** `make agent-report-progress` should normally finish in under 30 seconds. Workflow source or compiler changes additionally run the full workflow drift check. Set `TEST_UNIT_RUN_FULL=1` only when the full Go suite is required.\n\n### Change-type command matrix\n\n- Go file changes: `make fmt`\n- Workflow markdown changes: `make recompile`\n- JavaScript (`*.cjs`) changes: `make fmt-cjs && make lint-cjs`\n\n### Common focused checks from recent repository work\n\n- `pkg/workflow/` edits: run `go test ./pkg/workflow -count=1` during iteration; narrow with `-run` when only one workflow behavior is under active change.\n- `actions/setup/js/` edits: after `make fmt-cjs && make lint-cjs`, run the targeted `actions/setup/js/*.test.cjs` suites for the files you touched. Gateway changes commonly validate with `npx vitest run actions/setup/js/start_mcp_gateway.test.cjs`.\n- Workflow source changes that also touch compiler or runtime code: run `make recompile`, then rerun the affected focused Go or JavaScript checks before the final `make agent-report-progress`.\n\n### Merge-main playbook\n\nWhen explicitly asked to merge main:\n\n1. Run `make merge-main`.\n2. If conflicts exist in `.go` or `.cjs`, resolve and stage files.\n3. Run:\n ```bash\n make build\n make recompile\n git commit\n make fmt\n ```\n\n## Capitalization Guidelines\n\nThe gh-aw CLI follows context-based capitalization to distinguish between the product name and generic workflow references.\n\n### Capitalization Rules\n\n| Context | Format | Example |\n|---------|--------|---------|\n| Product name | **Capitalized** | \"GitHub Agentic Workflows CLI from GitHub Next\" |\n| Generic workflows | **Lowercase** | \"Enable agentic workflows\" |\n| Technical terms | **Capitalized** | \"Compile Markdown workflows to GitHub Actions YAML\" |\n\nThis convention distinguishes between the product name (GitHub Agentic Workflows) and the concept (agentic workflows), following industry standards similar to \"GitHub Actions\" vs. \"actions\".\n\n### Implementation\n\nThe capitalization rules are enforced through automated tests in `cmd/gh-aw/capitalization_test.go` that run as part of the standard test suite.\n\n\n\n## Sub-Skills\n\nThe following sub-skills cover specific areas of the codebase. Load them lazily when the task requires the specific domain:\n\n| Sub-skill | When to use |\n|-----------|-------------|\n| `.github/skills/developer-code-organization/SKILL.md` | Creating new files, refactoring, WASM stubs, file size decisions |\n| `.github/skills/developer-security/SKILL.md` | Implementing new features, reviewing for security, template injection concerns |\n| `.github/skills/developer-internals/SKILL.md` | Working on compiler internals, validation, safe outputs, MCP server, schema changes |\n| `.github/skills/developer-release/SKILL.md` | Creating a release, evaluating breaking changes, firewall log analysis |\n---\nname: checkout-credential-review\ndescription: Review code that performs git or gh operations against repository checkouts in gh-aw, checking that the right credentials are available at the right time and that sparseness, shallowness and credential-free factors are properly considered.\n---\n\n# Checkout Credential Review\n\nUse this skill when reviewing or writing code in `pkg/workflow/`, `actions/setup/js/`, or compiled `.lock.yml` workflows that runs `git`, `gh`, or any other remote-touching operation against a repository checkout.\n\n## Background\n\nEach entry in a workflow's `checkout:` block may declare its own credentials (`github-token:`, `github-app:`), and the compiler wires those into the corresponding `actions/checkout` step ([pkg/workflow/checkout_step_generator.go](../../../pkg/workflow/checkout_step_generator.go)). Generated checkouts always set `persist-credentials: false`, so the on-disk repo retains **no** credentials after the step finishes — only `actions/checkout`'s own internal token is used during the clone, and it is scrubbed in its post-step.\n\nA separate step that wants to authenticate later must either (a) re-inject a token at command level (e.g. `git -c http.extraheader=...`) or (b) be passed the per-checkout token via env. The compiler does *not* automatically thread per-checkout `github-token`s into downstream steps.\n\nTwo important contexts deliberately run with **no git credentials**:\n\n- The **safe-outputs MCP server** and its handlers (`generate_git_bundle.cjs`, `generate_git_patch.cjs`, `create_pull_request.cjs`). Errors in these paths explicitly say \"the safe-outputs MCP server has no credentials for private repositories\" — fetch/push will fail for private repos.\n- The **agent runtime** after `actions/checkout`. The agent prompt in [actions/setup/md/safe_outputs_push_to_pr_branch.md](../../../actions/setup/md/safe_outputs_push_to_pr_branch.md) explicitly tells the model not to attempt `git fetch`, `git pull`, `git push`, or any other authenticated git operation, and to report unavailable branches rather than try to fetch them.\n\n## Review checklist\n\nWhen you see a new `git`, `gh`, `execFileSync('git'…)`, or compiled `run:` block:\n\n1. **Does it touch a remote?** Local-only commands (`symbolic-ref`, `rev-parse`, `log`, `show`, `merge-base`, `diff`, `status`) need no credentials. Anything in `fetch | pull | push | clone | ls-remote | remote (set-url|add|update)` does, plus on-demand blob fetches in partial clones.\n2. **Which checkout is it operating on?** If it's a cross-repo entry from `checkout:`, the relevant credential is *that entry's* `github-token`, not the workflow's default `GITHUB_TOKEN`. Confirm the per-entry token is actually threaded into the step's env (or refuse to do remote operations and degrade gracefully).\n3. **Which job/context emits it?** Agent job and safe-outputs MCP server both run without git credentials by design. Any remote git operation there must be wrapped in `try/catch`, fail soft, and surface a clear \"no credentials\" error rather than a raw git stderr.\n4. **Sparse / shallow / monorepo concerns.** Avoid emitting steps that deepen (`git fetch --unshallow`, `--deepen=N`) or widen (`git fetch origin '+refs/heads/*'`) a sparse or shallow checkout of a large monorepo — these need credentials *and* can pull hundreds of MB. Prefer expanding `fetch:` / `fetch-depth:` / `sparse-checkout:` at compile time so it happens during `actions/checkout` with its internal token, never later.\n5. **`gh` is REST, not git.** `gh api …` uses whatever `GH_TOKEN` is in the step's env — it does **not** automatically inherit per-checkout PATs. For cross-org private repos, either thread the right token in or accept the call will 404 and handle it.\n\n## Related\n\n- [docs/src/content/docs/reference/checkout.md](../../../docs/src/content/docs/reference/checkout.md) — \"Git Credentials After Checkout\"\n- [docs/sparseness.md](../../../docs/sparseness.md) — sparse/blobless credential lifecycle\n- [pkg/workflow/checkout_step_generator.go](../../../pkg/workflow/checkout_step_generator.go) — token wiring per checkout\n- [actions/setup/md/safe_outputs_push_to_pr_branch.md](../../../actions/setup/md/safe_outputs_push_to_pr_branch.md) — agent-facing guidance\n","exit_code":0,"status":"completed"}}
