git-workflow

git-workflow is a skill for Codex from kreek/consult. It costs 24 tokens per session (907 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of rules for safely handling Git branches and project history, including rebases, conflicts, recovery, and force-push decisions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when rebasing, resolving merge conflicts, investigating past changes with bisect or reflog, cleaning up branches, repairing pull-request history, or deciding whether to force-push.
Why use it?
It helps prevent lost work and accidental changes to shared history. It also requires checking the repository and preserving a recovery point before risky operations.

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 16d 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 Workflow

Iron Law

NEVER REWRITE SHARED HISTORY OR SKIP RECOVERY.

The host owns git mechanics and access permission. This skill owns the gates: recoverability and approval of published text.

When to Use

  • Rebases, merge conflicts, bisects, reflog recovery, branch cleanup, PR history repair, force-push decisions, or any GitHub access.

When NOT to Use

  • Staging, splitting, or committing reviewed work; use commit.
  • Issue hierarchy, sizing, and tracker fields; use issue-tracking.
  • Reviewing correctness; use code-review. Refactor planning; use refactoring. CI failure triage; use debugging.

Rules

  1. Branch without ceremony. Starting new work on the default branch, create a topic branch first. On an existing topic branch, keep going unless the new work is clearly unrelated; then branch off main and say which branch received the work. Do not ask which branch to use.
  2. The host's permission system owns GitHub access. Hosts already gate network calls and gh under the user's account, so do not add a second chat-level ask on top of an approval the host granted. Reserve your own questions for writes that publish user-owned text and for destructive operations. Identify the surface first (gh CLI, GitHub MCP, or host tools); gh is absent from some sandboxes, which does not mean GitHub is out of reach.
  3. Humans approve PR and issue text before it is published. Draft the title and body locally, show them, and get approval of that exact text. Never let a tool open an editor or send unreviewed text.
  4. Inspect tree, branch, and upstream state before any history operation, and stop on unexpected state. Name a recovery point (tag, branch, or reflog entry) and whether the branch is local, solo, or shared before rewriting, deleting, or force-pushing. Shared history is rewritten only with explicit approval; force pushes use --force-with-lease --force-if-includes.
  5. Resolve conflicts by preserving intent from both sides, then run the relevant checks. Verify with range-diff or log inspection that intended commits remain.
  6. Test hook policy, not hook wrappers. A hook that only execs a repo script needs no test; the script that selects commands, blocks branches, or routes files does.
  7. This skill never bypasses the host's sandbox or approval gates.

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.
