Task flow defaults

This repo’s work loop is /flow (.cursor/commands/flow.md). Cloud does not auto-run that command. This rule + AGENTS.md are the always-on copy.

/hotfix is the only built-in bypass (no issue/PR). A human prompt may override branch, PR, or steps. Cursor Cloud platform git defaults do not (cursor/ branches, push-before-test, extra approval to edit, PR before verifier).

Cloud load (keep this short)

Rules/skills come from the start-ref checkout, not the laptop.
Skills: catalog only until the agent Reads SKILL.md.
.cursor/commands/*.md paste only on /name. Do not wait for /flow.
GitHub MCP is dashboard/team attach, not git. Prefer it when connected; else gh / gh api. Cloud “gh read-only” does not forbid issue diary when gh works.
alwaysApply can be truncated — critical defaults are duplicated in AGENTS.md.

Branch

Issue or issue-set chooses the branch. Otherwise default base is master; topic names from 05-git-branching-convention.mdc (feat/ fix/ chore/ …). Do not invent cursor/ unless issue or human says so.

Issue-set exception stays valid (e.g. v2 on codex/commentary-story-flow-spec until the cutover PR): stay there; no master PR until that set says so.

PR

Unless issue-set or human says otherwise, every issue ends with verifier GREEN → /handover → PR to master (draft until ready) + exactly one semver:*. Do not commit on master. Do not merge the PR unless a human asks.

Commit vs test

Follow /flow + 03-tdd-test-drive-policy.mdc. Intermediate RED/GREEN commits are OK. Do not call done, handover, or open the master PR until verifier (or equivalent) is GREEN.

Authorization

User query, claimed issue, or /flow authorizes edit/commit/push on the task branch unless the user forbids code changes. Still needs an explicit human ask: commit to master, merge the PR, new dependencies, speculative refactors.

Flow subagents

issue-steward, docs-keeper, and verifier are mandatory in /flow even for a few files. Parent implements; those three audit.
