What it does

Git Advanced is an agent skill from aiskillstore/marketplace. Advanced Git operations and workflows including interactive rebasing, conflict resolution, history manipulation, bisecting for bugs, cherry-picking, reflog recovery, and branch management strategies. Use for: (1) Interactive rebasing and commit cleanup, (2) Complex merge conflict resolution, (3) Git bisect for bug hunting, (4) History rewriting and cleanup, (5) Branch strategy implementation (Git Flow, trunk-based), (6) Recovering lost commits with reflog

Its SKILL.md is about 2.9k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 13 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `README.md`, `examples/branch_strategies.md` and `examples/conflict_resolution.md`).

It sits in Development, covering Git workflow. It works with Git. The repository describes itself as: Security-audited skills for Claude, Codex & Claude Code. One-click install, quality verified.

When your agent uses it

  • Interactive rebasing and commit cleanup
  • Complex merge conflict resolution
  • Git bisect for bug hunting
  • History rewriting and cleanup

Example prompts

  • “/git-advanced”

Requirements

  • A Bash shell

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Interactive Rebase Workflow
  2. Conflict Resolution Workflow
  3. Git Bisect for Bug Hunting
  4. Branch Management
  5. Reflog Recovery

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 4ac52da. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Shell), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • git
    • npm
    • bash

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use git and npm, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Git Advanced loads about 2.9k tokens when it runs, and up to ~11k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 118 tokens; SKILL.md has 702 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~118
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.9k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~11k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 702 words (~2,872 tokens).

“Master advanced Git workflows for complex version control scenarios. This skill covers sophisticated operations beyond basic commits and merges, including interactive rebasing, advanced conflict resolution, history manipulation, and strategic branch management.”
