# Spine — Agent Workflow

## Branch Strategy

This project does not use pull requests or feature branches. All work is committed
directly to `main` and pushed.

## Workflow

1. **Commit early, commit often** — small, focused commits with clear messages.
2. **Push after each logical batch** — don't accumulate un-pushed work.
3. **Test before push** — run the relevant test suite; don't push known failures.

## Commit Messages

Use conventional commits:
- `feat:` for new features
- `fix:` for bug fixes
- `test:` for test additions/changes
- `docs:` for documentation
- `refactor:` for code restructuring

## Verification

Run tests before pushing:
```bash
emacs --batch -l test/<test-file>.el --eval "(ert-run-tests-batch-and-exit)"
```
