- When something happensNew database branch created
- ThenAudit schema and row diffs
- ResultRequest approval to commit

Maintain audit trails for your tabular datasets by inspecting changes across branches before committing. The bot inspects working tree diffs, checks data integrity rules against updated tables, and prepares commit summaries for review before modifying main data branches.

## Prompt to start with

BotBentoRecommended

```
When triggered by a data import or schema migration task, inspect uncommitted tabular changes across the target database branch. Generate a diff report detailing row additions, updates, and schema modifications. If discrepancies or validation failures arise, notify the team in chat. Never commit, push, or merge changes to the primary branch without explicit user approval.
