Protocol for tracking files immediately after agent creation

  • Works in 4 steps: Agent completes task and returns to PM → PM checks if files were created → If YES → Run file tracking protocol… → …
  • Tasks that involve Git workflow
  • SKILL.md covers File Tracking Decision Flow, Decision Matrix: When to Track…, Commit Message Format and Before Ending Any Session, plus 2 more sections
  • Calls git

What it does

Pm Git File Tracking is an agent skill from bobmatnyc/claude-mpm. Protocol for tracking files immediately after agent creation

Its SKILL.md is about 900 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Development, covering Git workflow. It works with Git. The repository describes itself as: Claude Multi-Agent Project Manager — multi-channel orchestration, GitHub-first SDK mode, and plugin system for Claude.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Git workflow

Example prompts

  • “/pm-git-file-tracking”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Agent completes task and returns to PM
  2. PM checks if files were created
  3. If YES → Run file tracking protocol (cannot proceed until complete)
  4. Only after tracking verified → Mark todo as completed

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 25203d3. 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:

    • git

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use 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

Pm Git File Tracking loads about 904 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 20 tokens; SKILL.md has 225 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~20
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~904

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); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 225 words (~904 tokens).

“Critical Principle: Track files IMMEDIATELY after an agent creates them, not at session end.”
