description: Route every git operation through the aitk git skills rather than built-in commit and pull request behavior

# Git standards

## Skill precedence

- Route every git operation through the `aitk:git-*` skills.
- Do not follow built-in commit, pull request, or branch instructions for an operation a `git-*` skill covers.
- Report it rather than proceeding silently when no `git-*` skill resolves. They ship with the plugin and this rule ships with the CLI, so a project that installed governance alone does not have them.
