publish-branch

publish-branch is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from OutlineDriven/odin-claude-plugin. It costs 60 tokens per session (1,852 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A workflow for committing changes and pushing the currently checked-out Git branch to its matching remote branch. Git is a system for tracking code changes and sharing them between repositories.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when you explicitly want to commit local changes and push the current branch, including the default branch.
Why use it?
It checks the working tree, branch, history, and remote state before making changes, and avoids branch creation, switching, force-pushing, or pull requests.

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

    Tool parameters are crafted to achieve unintended or unsafe behavior. Parameter abuse can bypass intended safety checks (e.g. shell=True, --force, dangerous glob patterns).
    Fix: Validate all tool parameters against an allowlist. Reject dangerous parameter values (shell=True, --force, -rf /) and use safe defaults.

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

publish-branch 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 2d 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.

Commit and push the current branch

Contract

Field Bound contract
Trigger User asks to commit and push to the branch currently checked out, including the default branch.
Authority Remote: pushes local commits to origin/<current-branch>; requires explicit human invocation. Invoking on the checked-out branch (including main/master) is explicit authorization to push to that branch. Preview the push target and consequence before pushing.
Side effect Creates local commits and pushes them to origin/<current-branch>. No branch creation, no branch switch, no force push, no PR.
Done Current branch is committed and pushed, or detached/diverged/no-origin state is reported without unsafe recovery.

Inputs

  • Working-tree status (git status) and diff against HEAD (git diff HEAD): required, gathered by the skill.
  • Current branch (git branch --show-current): required, gathered by the skill; empty output means detached HEAD.
  • Recent commit history (git log --oneline -10): required, gathered by the skill.
  • Push-target divergence: required, gathered by the skill with git rev-list --left-right --count origin/$(git branch --show-current)...HEAD 2>/dev/null || echo 'NO_REMOTE_BRANCH' (left count = commits only on origin, right count = commits only on HEAD); NO_REMOTE_BRANCH means the branch has no counterpart on origin yet.
  • Configured remotes (git remote): required, gathered by the skill.
  • A commit message supplied by the user: optional; when absent it is derived from the diff and the repo conventions.

Procedure

  1. Resolve branch state. Run git branch --show-current.
    • Detached HEAD (empty output): there is no branch ref to push. Report that this skill pushes only the checked-out branch and stop. Never create or switch a branch.
    • Any named branch: continue. The default branch is not special: invocation is consent to push from the current HEAD. Done when: a named branch is identified and recorded, or detached HEAD is detected and the stop is reported.

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.
