git

git is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from SNIKO/agent-skills. It costs 20 tokens per session (635 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for common Git tasks such as creating branches, committing changes, and opening pull requests. Git records code changes, while a branch is a separate line of work.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to plan and perform ordinary Git workflow actions while checking project instructions, commit messages, branch names, and pull-request procedures.
Why use it?
It applies repository-specific rules and consistent naming and commit conventions, reducing mistakes in shared code history. It also defines safeguards around force-pushing and protected branches.

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 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 98 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

<repository_rules> Check for the followings for repository specific rules and instructions related to git names/messages conventions and workflows:

  • AGETNS.md
  • CLAUDE.md
  • .agents/

Merge them with the general instructions below, with repository rules taking precedence in case of conflict. </repository_rules>

Commit

Commit message format:

<type>[scope]: <description>

<optional body>

<optional footer>

Rules

  • One logical change per commit, if many files changed, create multiple commits with clear scope and messages
  • Present tense: "add" not "added"
  • Imperative mood: "fix bug" not "fixes bug"
  • Reference issues: Closes #123, Refs #456
  • Keep description under 72 characters
  • NEVER update git config
  • NEVER run destructive commands (--force, hard reset) without explicit request
  • NEVER skip hooks (--no-verify) unless user asks
  • NEVER force push unless the user explicitly requests it
  • NEVER commit to master/main unless repository rules allow it and the user confirms it

Branch

Branch naming format: {type}/{semantic-name}

Rules

  • NEVER delete or rename existing branches without explicit user request
  • NEVER force-push or reset master/main
  • NEVER run destructive commands without confirmation
  • If branch already exists, report this to the user and ask how to proceed

Pull Request

Title format: {type}[scope]: {description}

Description format:

## Summary
{1–3 sentences explaining what this PR does and its scope}

## Changes
- {key change 1, do not repeat file changes, focus on observable behavior changes}
- {key change 2, do not repeat file changes, focus on observable behavior changes}
- {more as needed — keep each bullet atomic and concrete}

## Why
{motivation: what problem does this solve, or what goal does it achieve.}

## Breaking Changes
{describe what breaks and how consumers should migrate. Omit if no breaking 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.
