What it does

Local Rebase is an agent skill from hewigovens/jayjay. Rebase a local jj feature stack onto the requested trunk when explicitly asked, without publishing.

Its SKILL.md is about 790 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 macOS. The repository describes itself as: A native macOS GUI for Jujutsu (jj) — DAG graph, side-by-side diffs, interdiff, conflict resolution. Built with Rust + SwiftUI.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Git workflow

Example prompts

  • “/local-rebase”

Workflow steps

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

  1. jj --ignore-working-copy workspace list; if the stack lives in a sibling workspace, work there.
  2. Topology and remote state, without snapshotting
  3. Identify the stack roots, destination, and immutable head/base IDs. Inspect enough ancestry to establish the whole requested stack; the…

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 30eb985. 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 (its code samples are bash).

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    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

Local Rebase loads about 786 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 28 tokens; SKILL.md has 371 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~28
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~786

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 371 words (~786 tokens).

“Moves a feature stack onto the requested trunk revision and leaves the remote bookmark and any pull request untouched. Examples use main; resolve the actual destination (main, main@origin, or another requested trunk) before mutating history. Load Version Control first; publication…”
