version-control-skill

version-control-skill is a skill for Claude Code from nitinbhide/tcaitoolkit. It costs 25 tokens per session (753 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A version-control workflow for viewing project history, comparing branches, and preparing consistent change summaries. Version control records changes to code and lets teams work across different lines of development.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create change logs, compare commits between branches, inspect authors and timestamps, and review which changes exist on one branch but not another.
Why use it?
It makes history and differences easier to inspect while encouraging synchronized working copies and read-only exploration before changes are made.

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

version-control-skill 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 1mo 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.

Version Control - Activity Skill

Purpose

Enable AI agents to efficiently query history, compute differences, and follow safe workflows across version control systems.

Core Principles

  1. Enforce hard-gate safety checks before modification operations.
  2. Prefer read-only operations for history exploration.
  3. Keep user time-range inputs as: today, yesterday, last week; normalize them internally to concrete timestamps before command execution.
  4. Generate outputs in a consistent, human-readable format.
  5. Delegate actual command execution to VCS-specific references.
  6. Auto-detect VCS backend from repository markers (.git, .hg, .svn); if ambiguous, ask user and do not guess.

Scenarios

1. Generate Change Logs

Inputs
  • Time range:
    • today
    • yesterday
    • last week
Flow
  1. Resolve the time range into concrete start and end timestamps.
  2. Query commit history within the range.
  3. Extract:
    • commit identifier
    • author
    • timestamp
    • message
  4. Format output as chronological log (latest first preferred).
Output Format

Will be as per the version control that you are using.

2. Log Between Two Branches

Assumption

Branches share a common ancestor.

No explicit pre-check is required; rely on version control command outcomes.

Inputs
  • source branch
  • target branch
Flow
  1. Identify commits reachable from one branch and not the other.
  2. Direction:
    • changes in source not in target
  3. Retrieve commit metadata.
  4. Present ordered list.
Output Format

Same as change logs.


3. Generate Unified Diff Between Two Branches

Inputs
  • base branch
  • comparison branch
Flow
  1. Resolve both branches to their latest revisions.
  2. Compute differences between trees.
  3. Generate unified diff format:
    • file paths
    • additions (+)
    • deletions (-)
Output Format

Standard unified diff format


4. Ensure Safe Working State Before Modification

Flow
  1. Check if local working copy is clean.
  2. Synchronize with remote repository when a remote is configured.
  3. If no remote is configured, treat synchronization as not applicable.
  4. If dirty working copy or synchronization/conflict checks fail, stop immediately (hard gate).
  5. Only then allow further operations (outside scope).

What ships with it

3 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.

version-control-skill is a skill published in the GitHub repository nitinbhide/tcaitoolkit (5 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 25 tokens to every session and 753 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. 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.
