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.

The file
We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent
6 rules. About 0 are common, 3 are distinctive, and 3 are very specific to this project.
≈0
Common · estimate
Many files like this have a rule of this kind.
≈3
Distinctive · estimate
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
3
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
- Common
- Distinctive
- Very specific
- Very specific: line 10
Check the commit, push, and branch health of all git repos under $HOME.
- Distinctive: line 14
Run the repo discovery script to find all git repos, excluding noise directories:
- Distinctive: line 20
If a specific repo path was provided as an argument, pass it through for the single-repo fast path:
- Very specific: line 26
If find_repos.sh fails, fall back to find ~ -name .git -type d -maxdepth 5 excluding node_modules and .cache.
- Very specific: line 49
Use ~ shorthand for $HOME in paths for readability.
- Distinctive: line 56
Stale branch script returns nothing: All branches have recent commits — this is normal.
≈ “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.
Files
Git Status Checker
Check the commit, push, and branch health of all git repos under $HOME.
Instructions
- Run the repo discovery script to find all git repos, excluding noise directories:
bash ~/.claude/skills/git-status/scripts/find_repos.shIf a specific repo path was provided as an argument, pass it through for the single-repo fast path:
bash ~/.claude/skills/git-status/scripts/find_repos.sh /path/to/repoIf find_repos.sh fails, fall back to find ~ -name .git -type d -maxdepth 5 excluding node_modules and .cache.
- For each repo found, check three things:
- Uncommitted changes:
git -C <repo> status -s 2>/dev/null - Unpushed commits:
git -C <repo> log @{u}.. --oneline 2>/dev/null - Stale branches:
bash ~/.claude/skills/git-status/scripts/stale_branches.sh <repo> 7
- Report a summary grouped into:
- Clean repos — nothing uncommitted, nothing unpushed, no stale branches (just list names)
- Repos with uncommitted changes — show file count and repo path
- Repos with unpushed commits — show commit count and repo path
- Repos with stale branches — show branch name, last commit date, and age in days. Format as a table:
| Repo | Branch | Last commit | Age |
| ------ | --------------- | ----------- | ---- |
| ~/Code/foo | feature/old | 2026-02-15 | 22d |Skip main and master from the stale branch report — they may be inactive but are not candidates for cleanup.
Use ~ shorthand for $HOME in paths for readability. Keep output concise.
Troubleshooting
- Repo discovery takes very long: The script may be traversing large directories. Verify it excludes node_modules, .cache, and Library.
- "fatal: not a git repository" for some paths: Skip corrupted repos and note them in output.
- No upstream configured: Skip the unpushed check for those repos and note "no upstream configured."
- Stale branch script returns nothing: All branches have recent commits — this is normal. Only report the stale branches section if there are results.

Your trail
Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.
Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.
Now do this for your own.
Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
