Git Platform

What it does

When your agent uses it

• Writing skills that must run on any git hosting provider
• Tasks that involve Git workflow
• Tasks that involve Skill authoring

Example prompts

• “Use the git-platform skill to detect git forge (GitHub/GitLab/Bitbucket) and maps CLI commands cross-platform”
• “/git-platform”

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

1. 1Declare dependencies: [leyline:git-platform]
2. 2Check the session context for git_platform
3. 3Use the command mapping table above
4. 4Fall back gracefully if CLI is unavailable

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9f3eb00. 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

  Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

  • gh
  • glab
  • git

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

• Network

  No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use gh, glab and git, 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 Platform loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 40 tokens; SKILL.md has 421 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it

~40

When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches

~1.2k

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

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); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

# Check remote URL
git remote get-url origin 2>/dev/null

# Check file markers
ls -d .github/ .gitlab-ci.yml bitbucket-pipelines.yml 2>/dev/null

# Check CLI availability
command -v gh && echo "GitHub CLI available"
command -v glab && echo "GitLab CLI available"

# Example skill instruction pattern:

## Step N: Create PR/MR

Use the detected platform CLI (check session context for `git_platform`):
- **GitHub**: `gh pr create --title "..." --body "..."`
- **GitLab**: `glab mr create --title "..." --description "..."`
- **Bitbucket**: Create via web interface
