What it does

Git is an agent skill from EpicenterHQ/epicenter. Apply Epicenter Git conventions for commits, branches, and history. Use when staging files, writing or splitting commits, creating branches, or inspecting history, not for pull request text or merge guidance.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k 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 Pull requests, Git workflow and Commit messages. It works with Git. The repository describes itself as: Open-source, local-first apps.

When your agent uses it

  • Splitting commits
  • Creating branches
  • Inspecting history
  • Not for pull request text

Example prompts

  • “/git”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit f9441c8. 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

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

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

  • Network

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • claude.ai
    • opencode.ai

    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 loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 53 tokens; SKILL.md has 505 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~53
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

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 505 words (~1,171 tokens).

“PR titles, PR bodies, changelog entries, issue links, username verification, CODEOWNERS notes, and merge strategy belong to pull-request.”
