Command for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: allowed-tools in frontmatter. Also seen: names the AskUserQuestion tool; mentions Codex; built for openclaw.

Runs only inside its plugin — its command needs a path that Claude Code sets for a plugin’s own hooks and for nothing else. Install the plugin, not this.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade C, and why

skill-git:merge scanned grade C with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 537 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are running /skill-git:merge. Follow these steps exactly.

Merge never overwrites anything silently. Every destructive action requires explicit user confirmation before execution.

Task Tracking

You MUST create a task for each item below and update each task's status as you progress (pending → in_progress → completed):

  1. Resolve skills to merge — parse arguments or select from latest scan results
  2. Load topics and show overlap — extract/cache rules, cluster into topics, display summary
  3. Resolve conflicts — present each conflicting topic and record user decisions (skip if none)
  4. Choose name and base folder — prompt for merged skill name and which folder to use as base
  5. Synthesize merged SKILL.md — generate draft, show for approval, iterate on edits
  6. Write files — write SKILL.md, copy non-SKILL.md files, update config.json, delete sources
  7. Commit merged skill — pre-flight check, confirm, run git add/commit/tag

Prelude

!bash "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/sg-prelude.sh" $ARGUMENTS

If STATUS is not ok:

  • Re-examine RAW_ARGUMENTS — check if the user expressed an agent name or intent that can be semantically resolved.
  • If you can determine intent, note the resolution and proceed.
  • If STATUS is not_initialized and INITIALIZED_AGENTS is non-empty, suggest /skill-git:init -a <agent>.
  • If STATUS is error, display REASON as a plain-language error and stop.
  • If intent cannot be resolved, display a clear error and stop.

Use AGENT, GLOBAL_BASE, and SKILLS_JSON from prelude output for all subsequent steps. The skills map referred to throughout this document is the parsed content of SKILLS_JSON.

Agent name in positional position: If $ARGUMENTS contains a known agent name (claude, gemini, codex, openclaw) as a standalone positional token not preceded by -a, silently treat it as -a <agent>: override AGENT, re-read GLOBAL_BASE and SKILLS_JSON from ~/.skill-git/config.json for that agent. Do not pass it to requested_skills.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
