git

A guide to Git, the version-control system used to track code changes, and to pull requests, which are proposed changes submitted for review.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when creating branches, writing commits, preparing pull requests, or checking that tests and generated files are up to date.
Why use it?
It helps keep branches and commits understandable, pull requests focused, and verification and risks documented.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Made for: Claude Code, Codex, Cursor.

Per session 20 Skills are progressive disclosure: only the name and description are preloaded; the body loads when the skill is used.
When invoked 221 The whole file, excluding the scripts and references it only reads on demand.
Security scan A 0 findings. Scan, not verified.
Origin original No closer match found in the catalogue.
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 yesterday.

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

Skill: Git & PR hygiene

Branching

  • Use short, descriptive branches: feat/<scope>, fix/<scope>, chore/<scope>.

Commits

  • Prefer small commits that compile.
  • Suggested style: type(scope): message
    • feat(auth): add password reset flow
    • fix(api): handle 429 retry-after
    • chore(ci): fail on generated drift

PR discipline

  • Keep PRs scoped; avoid drive-by refactors.
  • PR description must include:
    • What changed + why
    • How to verify (commands + manual steps)
    • Risk/impact notes

Before opening PR

  • Run quality gates (lint/typecheck/tests).
  • Ensure generated artifacts are up to date if applicable (e.g., pnpm sync:ai).
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.

git is a skill published in the GitHub repository MarceCandil/agent-context-kit (2 stars, last pushed 6mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 20 tokens to every session and 221 once invoked, about $0.0001 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.
