confirm-before-push

confirm-before-push is a skill for Claude Code from randommonicle/claude-skills. It costs 57 tokens per session (986 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A permission check that asks for confirmation before pushing Git changes to a remote repository or advancing a protected branch. Git is a tool for tracking code changes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it whenever work might push, merge, or fast-forward a branch, including when earlier actions were already approved.
Why use it?
It prevents remote or protected-branch changes from happening without approval for that specific action.

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

confirm-before-push 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 11d 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 — 83 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Confirm before push or merge

Always ask before pushing to a remote, merging to a protected branch, or fast-forwarding a protected branch. Each action needs its own explicit authorisation. Past approvals in the same session do not extend to future ones.

When this applies

This skill fires on:

  • Any git push to a remote
  • Any git merge into main, master, or another protected branch
  • Any fast-forward of a protected branch (git push origin HEAD:main)
  • Any history-rewriting push (--force, --force-with-lease)
  • Any merge or rebase that lands work on a protected branch

This skill applies even when the project's convention is direct-to-main solo shipping. The convention defines where work lands; this skill defines the per-action authorisation gate before it lands.

How to apply

After committing locally, summarise what's on the branch and ask before pushing. Examples:

  • "Committed locally as <sha> <message>. Three files, plus one migration. Ready to push to origin?"
  • "Worktree branch has two commits ahead of main. Push the branch first, then fast-forward main?"

Wait for explicit confirmation. Words like "yes", "push it", "go ahead", "proceed" are clear authorisations. Ambiguous responses ("looks good", "nice") are not.

Do not push with --force or rewrite published history without explicit per-action approval that names the force operation specifically.

Standard push order

When a multi-step push is authorised, the canonical sequence is:

  1. Push the local working branch to its remote tracking branch
  2. Verify the push landed (check git log --oneline <remote>/<branch>)
  3. If a protected branch fast-forward is part of the authorisation, perform it as a separate step
  4. Verify the protected branch tip with git log --oneline <remote>/<protected-branch>

If any step fails, stop and report rather than continuing to the next.

What this skill does not do

Local commits do not require this gate. Commit freely; the gate is on the moment work leaves the machine or lands on a protected branch.

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.
