What it does

Git Untrack is an agent skill from exception-coder/npe_get_jobs. Stop Git from tracking a file or directory while keeping it on disk (remove from index only). Use when the user has accidentally committed files/folders (e.g. nodemodules, build output) and wants to "unlink" or "disassociate" them from Git, then prevent future commits via .gitignore.

Its SKILL.md is about 680 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: 认识自己,找到真正喜欢的工作。Career Flow 是一个 AI 求职工作台,帮助你梳理能力、兴趣与职业期待,理解岗位与企业,打磨真实的简历表达,做出适合自己的职业选择。

When your agent uses it

  • The user has accidentally committed files/folders (e.g
  • Tasks that involve Git workflow

Example prompts

  • “unlink”
  • “disassociate”
  • “/git-untrack”

Requirements

  • Node.js

Workflow steps

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

  1. 确认路径已被跟踪
  2. 从索引中移除(不删本地文件)
  3. 更新 .gitignore(强烈建议)
  4. 提交并推送(可选)

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 99cf915. 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
    • pnpm
    • npm

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use git, pnpm 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 Untrack loads about 679 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 74 tokens; SKILL.md has 120 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~74
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~679

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 120 words (~679 tokens).

“将已被 Git 跟踪的文件或目录从版本库索引中移除,不删除本地文件,并可选地写入 .gitignore 防止再次被提交。适用于误提交了 node_modules、dist、构建产物等场景。”
