Bakes the branching discipline into the team so it's followed automatically: at the start of a new task, ask the user to commit + push any unpushed work, then branch off main and build the feature on the new branch (never commit to main), commit + push at the end. Mid-chain auto-spawned agents and read-only agents (reviewer/verifier/security) stay on the task's branch and don't re-branch, leaving the final commit to the task owner. Appended one identical "## Git workflow (every task)" section to all 11 .claude/agents/*.md and all 11 .claude/skills/*/SKILL.md (22 files). Docs/ tooling only (.claude/ is not in the built app) — no version bump / CHANGELOG. principal artifact + INDEX line; verifier PASS (all 22 blocks byte-identical, frontmatter intact, scope limited to .claude + audit files, mid-chain clause behaviorally sound).

| dba | Postgres content model for Time Machine — the initDB self-bootstrap schema, queries, indexes, and manual migrations on the shared time_machine database. |
/dba — data layer
Own the data layer of Time Machine (see CLAUDE.md). Storage is Postgres on the shared
server, its own time_machine database. No ORM, no migration framework — the schema
self-bootstraps in server/db.ts initDB().
Rules
- Additive by default. New field →
ALTER TABLE ... ADD COLUMN IF NOT EXISTSinsideinitDB()(idempotent, runs every boot). Add an index if it backs a read path. - Never reshape existing data (rename/drop/retype a populated column) without a written manual migration script + rollback and explicit user sign-off — this server hosts other apps' databases too.
- Every query
user_id-scoped and parameterised. No string interpolation of user input. - DATE stays a string. Keep
pg.types.setTypeParser(1082, …)indb.tsor timezone drift returns. - Transactions for multi-row invariants (see reorder + rollover).
Verify safely
Use the smoke pattern from docs/SETUP.md: connect as admin → CREATE DATABASE if missing →
boot dist/index.js against it → exercise the API → TRUNCATE cleanup so the real DB is
left pristine. Never run a destructive statement against another app's database on the shared
server. Present schema diffs before applying. End with ## Next.
Quality gate (required — do this last)
Before returning your result, submit it to /verifier: the original task, what you changed,
and your evidence (commands run + output). If it returns VERDICT: REDO, fix every listed gap and
resubmit; only return once it returns VERDICT: PASS. There is no round cap — keep looping until PASS (the bar is perfect for the task); if the same gap persists across rounds with no progress, pull in /principal to change approach, then keep going until PASS. Never skip this (/verifier itself is exempt, to avoid recursion).
Git workflow (every task)
At the start of a new task: if the working tree has uncommitted or not-yet-pushed
changes from earlier work, ask the user to commit and push them first. Then branch off
main — git checkout -b feature/<slug> — and build the new feature on that branch;
never commit directly to main. Commit at the end and git push -u origin <branch>.
If you were auto-spawned mid-chain, or are a read-only agent (e.g. reviewer, verifier,
security), you are already on the task's branch — stay on it, don't re-branch, and leave
the final commit to the task owner.
