version-control

version-control is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from seb1n/awesome-ai-agent-skills. It costs 45 tokens per session (1,805 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for managing Git repositories, the folders that store code and its change history. It covers branches, commits, conflicts, pull requests, hooks, and ignore rules.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect repository state, create branches, make clean commits, resolve conflicts, manage pull requests, and configure Git hooks or .gitignore files.
Why use it?
It helps keep changes organised and reduces mistakes when several people or branches affect the same code. Repository checks and clear commit practices make collaboration easier.

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).

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 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 10d 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 with Git

This skill equips an AI agent to perform the full spectrum of Git-based version control tasks, from initializing a repository and crafting atomic commits to orchestrating branching strategies, resolving merge conflicts, and configuring automation with hooks. It covers both everyday workflows and advanced operations needed for professional team collaboration.

Workflow

  1. Assess Repository State: Run git status, git log --oneline -10, and git branch -a to understand the current branch, uncommitted changes, recent history, and available remotes. This context determines which operations are safe to perform.

  2. Stage and Commit Changes: Group related changes into atomic commits. Write commit messages that start with a concise summary line (50 characters or fewer), followed by a blank line and an explanatory body when the change is non-trivial. Follow the project's commit convention (Conventional Commits, Angular style, etc.) if one exists.

  3. Branch Management: Create feature, bugfix, or release branches from the appropriate base. Use a consistent naming convention such as feat/short-description, fix/issue-123, or release/1.2.0. Delete stale branches after merging to keep the branch list clean.

  4. Synchronize with Remote: Fetch and pull regularly to stay up to date. Push feature branches with the -u flag on first push. Before merging, rebase or merge the base branch into the feature branch to resolve conflicts early in an isolated context.

  5. Resolve Conflicts: When conflicts arise, inspect the conflicting files, understand both sides of the change, choose the correct resolution (or combine both), mark the file as resolved with git add, and complete the merge or rebase. Always run tests after resolution to confirm correctness.

  6. Automate with Hooks and CI: Set up Git hooks (pre-commit for linting/formatting, commit-msg for message validation, pre-push for test runs) and ensure .gitignore covers build artifacts, environment files, and OS metadata. Integrate with CI pipelines to enforce quality gates on every push.
