setup-multirepo-git

setup-multirepo-git is a skill for Claude Code from flurdy/agent-skills. It costs 50 tokens per session (1,841 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of rules and a setup command for projects made of several independent Git repositories. It provides an `mgit` wrapper for running Git operations on a named service repository.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when creating or maintaining a workspace containing multiple services in separate repositories. It covers checking changes, staging files, committing, and viewing history for each service.
Why use it?
It avoids accidentally running a Git command in the wrong repository. The shared workflow also makes multi-repository changes easier to handle consistently.

SkillSpector: 2 findings, up to high

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

  • high Tool Misuse · line 68
    Tool parameters are crafted to achieve unintended or unsafe behavior. Parameter abuse can bypass intended safety checks (e.g. shell=True, --force, dangerous glob patterns).
    Fix: Validate all tool parameters against an allowlist. Reject dangerous parameter values (shell=True, --force, -rf /) and use safe defaults.
  • medium Excessive Agency · line 6
    Skill selects an external model or provider that may use a different account or billing plan than the operator expects. Undisclosed model switches can cause unexpected cost or quota consumption.
    Fix: Remove the model/provider override or disclose it prominently and require explicit operator approval before invoking an external coding CLI or billed model.

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 A, and why

setup-multirepo-git scanned grade A with 0 findings 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 4d 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.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 169 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Multi-Repo Git Workflow

This skill provides rules for working with multi-repo workspaces (multiple independent git repositories in one project directory) and a setup command for new projects.

Multi-Repo Git Rules

These rules apply whenever working in a project that has a .mgit.conf file in its root.

Always use mgit for service git operations

Rule: Use ./scripts/mgit <subcommand> <service> for all git operations on service repositories. This wrapper runs git -C under the hood but puts the subcommand before the service, giving harness-specific permission policies a stable command prefix. The wrapper itself does not enforce approvals.

Use root or . as the service name for the root repo.

Never use cd <service> && git ... (bypasses the documented wrapper prefix). Never run bare git add/status/commit expecting it to pick up service files — that targets the root repo.

# CORRECT — invoke from the project root using the configured wrapper prefix
./scripts/mgit status my-service --short
./scripts/mgit diff my-service
./scripts/mgit add my-service src/main/MyFile.scala
./scripts/mgit commit my-service -m "fix: something"
./scripts/mgit log my-service --oneline -5

# CORRECT — root repo operations
./scripts/mgit status root --short
./scripts/mgit diff .
./scripts/mgit add root AGENTS.md
./scripts/mgit commit . -m "docs: update agents"

# WRONG for this workflow — bypasses the configured mgit prefix
git -C my-service status --short

# WRONG for this workflow — changes directory and bypasses mgit
cd my-service && git status --short

# WRONG — targets root repo, service folders are gitignored
git add my-service/src/main/MyFile.scala
git status  # only shows root repo changes

Which repo does a file belong to?

Check the first path component after the project root:

  • If it matches a service name listed in .mgit.conf → use ./scripts/mgit <subcommand> <service>
  • If it's a root-level file (AGENTS.md, docs/, scripts/, etc.) → use ./scripts/mgit <subcommand> root (or .)

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.
