## org-git-conventions

**Description:** This org's internal git conventions (hard rules on hooks, force-push, atomic commits, secrets, Conventional Commits, trailers, and the `rtk git` wrapper requirement). Originally maintained as a standalone instruction file loaded into every agent's context; embedded directly into this skill because that central file has been removed from the repo, and skill content must stay self-contained after plugin installation.

**Source:** org-internal (formerly `core/instructions/git.md` in this repo, prior to its removal)

- **Research doc:** none
- **Basis:** core/instructions/git.md (removed in 5deed07)

**Contributing files:**
- references/hard-rules.md (whole file — the eight hard rules and the conflict-handling rule)
- SKILL.md (Gotchas — `rtk git` wrapper note)
