git-workflow

git-workflow is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from int2t05/engineering-skills. It costs 22 tokens per session (366 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of guidelines for using Git to save work, manage branches, handle conflicts, and add safeguards. Git is a tool that records code history and lets developers work on separate lines of change.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when branching, committing, merging, rebasing, preparing releases, or setting up pre-commit checks that inspect changes before they are saved.
Why use it?
It keeps the main branch deployable, makes changes easier to review or undo, and explains how to resolve conflicts based on intent rather than discarding one side.

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

git-workflow 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 2d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (references/block-dangerous-git.sh), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

What it actually says

Git Workflow and Versioning

When to use

  • Perform requested Git actions while preserving user work.

Not for: implement for code; shipping for production rollout.

Steps

  1. Inspect status, staged changes, branches and operation state; determine the authorized action.

  2. Prepare coherent changes and relevant checks; stage explicit paths and commit only when requested.

  3. Resolve conflicts by tracing both intents and verifying each coherent unit; do not reset or abort destructively without authority.

  4. Report local state; every push requires explicit confirmation after the verified result is prepared.

Verify

  • Content matches authorization and checks; user history is preserved and local work does not imply push.

References

Files

What ships with it

6 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.
