git

The git skill provides a standardized, safety-conscious interface for managing version control tasks within the Claude Code environment. Designed for developers who prioritize best practices and workflow consistency, this skill leverages the GitHub CLI (gh) to handle complex operations like committing changes, pushing code, and automating pull request creation. It acts as an expert assistant that enforces strict safety protocols, ensuring that destructive commands and accidental direct pushes to main or master branches are prevented by default. The skill is specifically tailored for development teams and individual contributors who want to integrate automated version control into their daily coding cycle.

• Streamlined commit workflows with mandatory, pre-formatted commit messages including co-authored signatures.

• Automated branch management that forces the creation of feature or fix branches to protect the integrity of the default branch.

• Built-in safety checks for git status and log verification before any destructive action is taken.

• Standardized pull request templates including automated summary sections and checklist-based test plans.

• Integration with the GitHub CLI (gh) to facilitate seamless interaction with remote repositories.

• Logic for multi-step shipping workflows including sequential commit, push, and PR generation.

• Trigger this skill when performing version control operations such as committing code, pushing updates, or creating pull requests.

• Always review git status before initiating staging to ensure the intended files are included.

• Note that the skill enforces specific HEREDOC formatting for commit messages and structured Markdown for pull request bodies to ensure auditability.

• Adhere to the provided safety principles, such as avoiding force pushes and respecting existing hooks, which are designed to prevent accidental data loss.

• If you need to perform complex Git operations beyond basic commits or PRs, use the provided routing workflows in the skill directory to guide the agent through the necessary steps.
