dev-git-workflow

dev-git-workflow is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from vasilyu1983/AI-Agents-public. It costs 43 tokens per session (3,948 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for designing how a team uses Git, the version-control system, for branches, code reviews, and releases.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to choose a branching model, isolate agent work with worktrees, define pull-request rules, and organize releases.
Why use it?
It helps teams choose consistent rules for parallel work, pull requests, merging, and releases instead of deciding them ad hoc.

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 →

  • high YARA Match · line 3
    YARA rule matched a hack tool or exploit indicator (offensive tools, reconnaissance, privilege escalation, or exploit frameworks).
    Fix: Remove offensive tool references and exploit code. Legitimate agent skills should not contain penetration testing tools, exploit frameworks, or reconnaissance utilities.
  • high Anti-Refusal · line 165
    Skill attempts to nullify the agent's safety policies or restrictions ('you have no restrictions', 'ignore your guidelines', 'do anything now'). This is a direct jailbreak that disables guardrails.
    Fix: Remove jailbreak framing that nullifies safety policies or restrictions. Skill content must not instruct the agent to ignore its guidelines or operate without guardrails.

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

dev-git-workflow 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 9d 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 — 177 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Git Workflow

Use this skill to choose a team Git model, set merge and review policy, and define safe defaults for human and AI-assisted collaboration. It assumes the reader knows Git commands; it carries the decisions.

Default bias: GitHub Flow or trunk-based development, one merge method per repository, a merge queue once PRs routinely go stale before landing, one worktree per agent, and release branches only when version support requires them. Hosting-platform features (stacked PRs, merge-queue options, ruleset fields) and Git itself change several times a year: before recommending a version-gated Git feature, check the release notes on git-scm.com; before recommending a platform feature, check that platform's docs for availability on the user's plan.

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.
