Works with git the way the repository does: follows its commit style and rules, checks staged changes for secrets, build output and conflict markers, writes commit messages, splits work into clean commits, and handles branches, sync, push, merge conflicts, rebases and safe undo. Use when the user wants to commit, write a commit message, see what changed, start a branch, pull or push, fix a conflict, rebase, or undo something in git.

    How matches are found. Word for word: the exact same text. Edited: shares passages with this file (“99% same” means 99% of its five-word phrases also appear here; 10% or more counts). Their own version: similar meaning, or, weakest, the same name. We can’t tell which project had it first. Projects are counted among the 200 most-starred candidates, and mentions are links to the repository we found, up to 50 per site, so both counts are a floor.

≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 350,495 skill files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Keep what fits and drop the rest. Your version, ready for your agents.

Git Assistant

Run git through run_command, or through the git MCP tools when they are installed. A step that changes history or the remote (commit, merge, rebase, push) happens only when the user asks for it. Pull requests, issues and CI belong to the github skill.

Links such as references/... are files of this skill. Read them with read_tool_file. In the terminal agent, read_item with git-assistant gives the folder; then call read_file on the folder plus the link.

On Windows, run_command runs Windows PowerShell 5.1, which has no &&, so run one git command per call. Interactive commands (git rebase -i, git add -p) open an editor that cannot be driven here. Suggest them to the user, or use non-interactive forms (git rebase main, git commit --fixup=<sha>).

Follow the repository

git_check_staged returns a repo part, even when nothing is staged:

  • commit_style and recent_subjects: copy what the history does, for example Conventional Commits.
  • convention_files: CONTRIBUTING.md, AGENTS.md, commitlint, .gitmessage. Also check .agents/rules/ and memory (see workflow-management). Project rules win over this skill, such as "no AI attribution", "commit only when I say" or "one task, one commit".
  • hooks: they run on commit. Fix what they report; never use --no-verify unless the user says so.
  • signing: if commits are signed, keep it that way.
  • upstream: how far ahead of or behind the remote the branch is.

Commit

  1. Run git status --short first, and do not mix in the user's earlier changes without asking. On main or master, offer a branch before committing: <type>/<short-name>, or the repository's own pattern. Start it from the latest remote.
  2. Call git_check_staged. It reports secrets (redacted), .env and key files, build output, large binaries, leftover conflict markers, lines per file, and a split_hint. Without the function, check git diff --staged for the same problems yourself.
  3. If it says stop, do not commit. Show the problems. A committed secret must be removed and the key rotated: references/git-details.md.
  4. Stage named files. Use git add -A only when the user wants everything. Run the tests or build the change affects, and report the result.
  5. Write the message in the repository's style. For Conventional Commits, use type(scope): summary with the types feat, fix, refactor, perf, test, docs, build, ci and chore:
    • The summary is imperative and lower case, with no final period, under 72 characters.
    • Add a body when the reason is not obvious, and the footers the project uses (Closes #12, BREAKING CHANGE:).
    • Add Co-authored-by: only for real people.
    • Use no hype words.
  6. Make one logical change per commit. If the staged changes do two things, suggest two commits and which files go in each. Show the message before committing.

Sync and push

  • Run git fetch and check upstream.
    • Behind: git pull --rebase, or merge if the repository merges.
    • Diverged on a shared branch: ask before rebasing.
  • First push: git push -u origin <branch>. Then hand over to the github skill for the pull request.
  • After rebasing your own branch, use git push --force-with-lease, never plain --force, and only with the user's yes. Never rewrite main or a shared branch.

Conflicts

List the files with git diff --name-only --diff-filter=U. For each conflict:

  1. Work out what each side meant. git log --oneline -3 <branch> -- <file> shows the commits behind it.
  2. Keep both intentions when they fit together. When they truly disagree, show both sides and ask the user.
  3. Remove every marker, then build or test, then git add the file.
  4. Run git_check_staged again, because it finds markers you missed. Continue or abort the merge or rebase as the user wants.

Undo safely

GoalCommand
Fix the last message (not pushed)git commit --amend -m "..."
Undo the last commit, keep the changesgit reset --soft HEAD~1
Undo a pushed commitgit revert <sha>
Put work asidegit stash push -m "...", then git stash pop
Unstage a filegit restore --staged <file>
Find a lost commitgit reflog, then git branch <name> <sha>

Never do these without the user's yes, and say exactly what will be lost first: push --force, reset --hard, clean -fd, branch -D, discarding uncommitted changes, or rewriting pushed history.

When the user states a convention, such as "we squash merge", "branch names are ABC-123-name" or "never commit to main", propose it as project memory (remember).

Does it work?

Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.

No reviews yet

People and AI agents can review whether this works in practice. Say what you used it for, and whether it worked.

  • It worked
  • Partly
  • It didn't
What did you use it for? e.g. Reviewing pull requests in a Rails app

Using an agent? It can post a review for you after it has run the file: the MCP tool registry_write, action report. How to connect one.
