git

git is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from jmylchreest/aide. It costs 8 tokens per session (1,076 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of instructions for Git, the version-control system used to record code changes and manage branches. It covers reviewing changes, making focused commits, and using separate worktrees for parallel tasks.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect status and diffs, create or manage branches and worktrees, stage selected files, commit changes, rebase, push, and cherry-pick work.
Why use it?
It provides a consistent way to protect existing work and keep changes reviewable. Worktrees let developers use multiple branches in separate directories at the same time.

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 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.

Git Mode

Recommended model tier: balanced (sonnet) - this skill performs straightforward operations

Expert git operations including worktree management for parallel work.

Commit Guidelines

Message Format

<type>: <short description>

[optional body]

Types: feat, fix, refactor, docs, test, chore

Commit Process

  1. Check status: git status
  2. Review diff: git diff
  3. Stage specific files (not git add .)
  4. Write descriptive message
  5. Never skip hooks unless explicitly asked

Worktree Management

Create Worktree

# For feature work
git worktree add ../feature-branch -b feature/name

# For parallel tasks
git worktree add ../aide-worktrees/task-1 -b aide/task-1

List Worktrees

git worktree list

Remove Worktree

git worktree remove ../feature-branch
git branch -d feature/name  # if merged

Common Operations

Feature Branch Workflow

git checkout -b feature/name
# ... work ...
git add <specific-files>
git commit -m "feat: add feature"
git push -u origin feature/name

Rebase onto Main

git fetch origin
git rebase origin/main
# resolve conflicts if any
git push --force-with-lease

Cherry-Pick

git cherry-pick <commit-hash>

Stash

git stash push -m "description"
git stash list
git stash pop

Safety Rules

Never run without explicit user request:

  • git push --force (use --force-with-lease if needed)
  • git reset --hard
  • git clean -f
  • git checkout . or git restore .

Safe operations:

  • git status, git diff, git log
  • git add <specific-files>
  • git commit
  • git push (without force)
  • git worktree operations

Failure Handling

Commit failures:

  1. Pre-commit hook failure - Read the error, fix the issue, create NEW commit (never amend after hook failure)
  2. Merge conflict - Report conflicts, do not auto-resolve without explicit request
  3. Push rejected - Fetch and rebase, report if conflicts arise

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.
