git-workflow

A set of instructions for managing a Git repository, the folder where Git tracks code changes and versions. It covers branches, worktrees, remote repositories, commits, and local protection for important branches.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to initialize repositories, create or clean branches, make and manage worktrees, sync with a remote repository, review Git activity, and protect or bypass protection on main or development branches.
Why use it?
It gives common Git tasks a consistent process and helps reduce mistakes when switching branches, syncing code, or undoing commits.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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 B, and why

git-workflow scanned grade B 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 yesterday.

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.

Reads agent configuration directoriesmediumAgent snooping

.claude/, .codex/, .gemini/ hold keys, settings and other credentials a mod has no legitimate need for.

Inspect, enable, disable, and profile the craft guard suite (`branch-guard.sh` + `no-switch-guard.sh`). Absorbs the former `git/guard.md` command, deleted entirely in the 2026-07 v4 consolidation (see Integration table).

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 418 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Git Workflow

End-to-end git lifecycle for craft users: initialize a repo, manage branches and worktrees, sync with remotes, protect (or temporarily bypass) main/dev, check whether an open issue's premise still holds, and surface the learning/safety reference material when users ask "how do I undo X?". Consolidates the 9 commands/git/*.md commands and 4 commands/git/docs/*.md reference docs into one coherent skill.

When to Use

Activate when the user's prompt matches any of these concerns:

User intent Operation
"init repo", "set up git", "bootstrap repository" Repo init
"show branches", "new branch", "switch branch", "delete branch" Branch management
"git status", "what's the state of this repo" Enhanced status
"clean merged branches", "delete merged" Branch cleanup
"create a worktree", "list worktrees", "remove worktree", "finish worktree" Worktree management
"sync with remote", "pull and push", "update from upstream" Sync
"git activity", "git recap", "what did I commit today" Activity summary
"protect main", "enable branch protection", "configure protection level" Local protection
"apply baseline protection", "github-side protection", "PR-required setup" GitHub-side protection
"bypass protection", "unprotect", "let me commit to main once" Session bypass
"how do I undo X?", "fix a git mistake", "I messed up git" Undo reference
"teach me git", "learn git workflow", "git refcard" Learning material
"what are the safety rails?", "is this safe?" Safety reference
"list guards", "enable/disable guard", "explain what this command would do", "guard profile" Guard registry CLI
"check if this issue still applies", "is issue #N still valid", "premise check before I fix this" Issue premise check

If the prompt is ambiguous, default to enhanced status (cheapest) and offer follow-ups.

Prerequisites

  • Git installed (git --version)
  • For protection / GitHub-side operations: gh CLI authenticated
  • For worktrees: shared ~/.git-worktrees/ directory convention (created on first use)
  • For learning material: no prerequisites — pure reference

Files

What ships with it

5 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.

git-workflow is a skill published in the GitHub repository Data-Wise/craft (4 stars, last pushed 16d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 151 tokens to every session and 8,122 once invoked, about $0.0008 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it B with 1 finding (reads agent configuration directories). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
