+# HrynCo Notification Service Agent Rules
+
+## Git workflow
+
+- Treat `main` as the only default and integration branch for this repository.
+- Start every task branch from the latest `origin/main`.
+- Before creating a task branch, fetch the remote, switch to `main`, and fast-forward it from `origin/main`.
+- Create the task branch only after confirming that local `main` matches `origin/main`.
+- Open pull requests from the task branch into `main`.
+- Do not use `development` as the base or pull-request target for new work in this repository.
+- Do not commit, push, publish, deploy, or merge unless the repository owner explicitly requests that step.
+
+Recommended branch preparation:
+
+```text
+git fetch origin
+git switch main
+git pull --ff-only origin main
+git switch -c <task-branch>
+```
+
+## Delivery
+
+- Keep changes focused and preserve backward compatibility where practical.
+- Update the matching repository documentation when behavior, contracts, configuration, routing, or workflows change.
+- Run the solution build and relevant tests before handoff.
+- Use Conventional Commit messages with a lowercase subject and finish the commit body with `Ref: <issue-id>` when an issue exists.
