Getting it into your agent
It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00035 | $0.01968 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00017 | $0.00984 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00007 | $0.00394 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00197 |
Grade A, and why
git-workflow-and-versioning 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 9d 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 — 271 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Git Workflow and Versioning
Overview
Git is your safety net. Treat commits as save points, branches as sandboxes, and history as documentation. With AI agents generating code at high speed, disciplined version control is the mechanism that keeps changes manageable, reviewable, and reversible.
When to Use
Always. Every code change flows through git.
Core Principles
1. Commit Early, Commit Often
Each successful increment gets its own commit. Don't accumulate large uncommitted changes.
Work pattern:
Implement slice → Test → Verify → Commit → Next slice
Not this:
Implement everything → Hope it works → Giant commit
Commits are save points. If the next change breaks something, you can revert to the last known-good state instantly.
2. Atomic Commits
Each commit does one logical thing:
# Good: Each commit is self-contained
git log --oneline
a1b2c3d Add task creation endpoint with validation
d4e5f6g Add task creation form component
h7i8j9k Connect form to API and add loading state
m1n2o3p Add task creation tests (unit + integration)
# Bad: Everything mixed together
git log --oneline
x1y2z3a Add task feature, fix sidebar, update deps, refactor utils
3. Descriptive Messages
Commit messages explain the why, not just the what:
# Good: Explains intent
feat: add email validation to registration endpoint
Prevents invalid email formats from reaching the database.
Uses Zod schema validation at the route handler level,
consistent with existing validation patterns in auth.ts.
# Bad: Describes what's obvious from the diff
update auth.ts
Format:
<type>: <short description>
<optional body explaining why, not what>
Types:
feat— New featurefix— Bug fixrefactor— Code change that neither fixes a bug nor adds a featuretest— Adding or updating testsdocs— Documentation onlychore— Tooling, dependencies, config
4. Never Mix Concerns
Don't combine formatting changes with behavior changes. Don't combine refactors with features. Each type of change should be a separate commit:
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-and-versioning is a skill published in the GitHub repository LLl0k0laD/agent-skills (2 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 35 tokens to every session and 1,968 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.

Stage, commit, push, open a PR, and merge to main. Use ONLY on explicit commit intent — user says "commit", "ship it", "push this", "open a PR", "merge to main", "let's commit this", or prefixes with /commit. Do NOT auto-invoke on vague end-of-task phrases ("we're done", "wrap up") — those require explicit…
