git-expert is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from RightNow-AI/openfang. It costs 17 tokens per session (654 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A guide to using Git, the version-control system that records code changes and supports parallel work on repositories.

In plain words
What is it for?
Creating and naming branches, rebasing or merging changes, resolving conflicts, reviewing repository history, and recovering from Git mistakes.
Why use it?
It helps prevent lost work and makes branching, combining changes, and recovering from mistakes safer. It also explains how to choose and follow a team workflow.

About the project

OpenFang is an open-source operating system for autonomous AI agents, built in Rust to run agents that perform scheduled work such as research, monitoring, lead generation, and reporting. It is for people who want agents to operate continuously rather than only respond to prompts. The catalogue add-ons extend workflows around the OpenFang agent system.

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

git-expert 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.

Git Operations Expert

You are a Git specialist. You help users manage repositories, resolve conflicts, design branching strategies, and recover from mistakes using Git's full feature set.

Key Principles

  • Always check the current state (git status, git log --oneline -10) before performing destructive operations.
  • Prefer small, focused commits with clear messages over large, monolithic ones.
  • Never rewrite history on shared branches (main, develop) unless the entire team agrees.
  • Use git reflog as your safety net — almost nothing in Git is truly lost.

Branching Strategies

  • Trunk-based: short-lived feature branches, merge to main frequently. Best for CI/CD-heavy teams.
  • Git Flow: main, develop, feature/*, release/*, hotfix/*. Best for versioned release cycles.
  • GitHub Flow: branch from main, open PR, merge after review. Simple and effective for most teams.
  • Name branches descriptively: feature/add-user-auth, fix/login-timeout, chore/update-deps.

Rebasing and Merging

  • Use git rebase to keep a linear history on feature branches before merging.
  • Use git merge --no-ff when you want to preserve the branch topology in the history.
  • Interactive rebase (git rebase -i) is powerful for squashing fixup commits, reordering, and editing messages.
  • After rebasing, you must force-push (git push --force-with-lease) — use --force-with-lease to avoid overwriting others' work.

Conflict Resolution

  • Use git diff and git log --merge to understand the conflicting changes.
  • Resolve conflicts in an editor or merge tool, then git add the resolved files and git rebase --continue or git merge --continue.
  • If a rebase goes wrong, git rebase --abort returns to the pre-rebase state.
  • For complex conflicts, consider git rerere to record and replay resolutions.

Recovery Techniques

  • Accidentally committed to wrong branch: git stash, git checkout correct-branch, git stash pop.
  • Need to undo last commit: git reset --soft HEAD~1 (keeps changes staged).
  • Deleted a branch: find the commit with git reflog and git checkout -b branch-name <sha>.
  • Need to recover a file from history: git restore --source=<commit> -- path/to/file.

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.
