  • Plugin authoring (new or modified plugins/<name>/...)

Affected harnesses

  • Claude Code
  • OpenAI Codex CLI
  • Cursor
  • OpenCode
  • Antigravity CLI
  • Pi

Follows #766 and #768.

…e deploy script

- git-advanced-workflows: the recovery comment from #768 implied that a
  deleted branch's commits stay recoverable for 30 days after the
  deletion. Expiry counts from when each HEAD reflog entry was recorded.
  The wording was suggested in review, and CodeRabbit caught it.
- monorepo-management: the deploy step from #766 runs the web app's
  deploy script, which the create-turbo basic starter doesn't define.

Review of PR #776

This review found no blocking issues.

  • Read the diff and the new commit 6067c4a
  • Check that the review findings were addressed
  • Check the wording against git and Nx behavior
  • Read CI status
  • Post summary

What I checked in 6067c4a:

  • Earlier review findings are fixed. The new note at monorepo-management/references/details.md:394 names both prerequisites a create-turbo reader is missing: Nx, needed for the pnpm nx show projects --affected check, and a deploy script. That covers my earlier comment and the matching Codex P2. The reflog comment at git-advanced-workflows/SKILL.md:197-199 now says git gc can prune entries once they are 30 days old, so 30 days reads as a threshold rather than an exact deletion date. That matches what CodeRabbit asked for.
  • The wording is accurate. It agrees with git's defaults: gc.reflogExpireUnreachable is 30 days and is counted from each entry's own timestamp. It also agrees with Best Practice #6 at line 154, so the two parts of the skill don't contradict each other.
  • The Nx check should work after nx init. Nx takes a project's name from its package.json, and the starter's web app is named web, so grep -qx "web" will match.
  • Nothing else is affected. This is a docs-only change under plugins/. It touches no generated trees, frontmatter or catalog counts, and the SKILL.md body stays well under the 8 KB cap.

CI: Generation and validation, the pytest suites, markdownlint, the syntax checks and ruff/ty all passed. The real-CLI smoke test was still running when I checked. This change can't affect it, because no harness artifact or manifest changed.

📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Documentation
    • Clarified that Git may prune unmerged commits from the reflog once their entries are 30 days old; the period starts when each entry is recorded. Recover deleted branches promptly.
    • Clarified that the deployment workflow uses Nx to check for web changes and runs the deploy script in apps/web/package.json. The create-turbo starter includes neither Nx nor the script, so setup is required.

The pull request updates Git reflog recovery guidance and adds details about the Nx check and deploy-script setup for a monorepo deployment workflow.

Changes: Git branch recovery guidance

A rabbit checks the reflog trail
And notes when entries may grow stale
Through Nx, the web changes show
The deploy script tells where to go
With setup notes, the paths are clear

that 30 days is the default expiry threshold for unreachable reflog entries, not
an automatic deletion date. State that entries are removed when reflog expiry

…y threshold

Review on #776: the deploy step's Nx gate also fails on a create-turbo
starter, and 30 days is when git gc may prune an entry, not an exact
removal time.
