What it does

Git Rebase is an agent skill from pedronauck/skills. Rebase branches and resolve cross-commit conflicts while preserving changes. Excludes merge-commit workflows, cherry-picking, and repository setup.

Its SKILL.md is about 710 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 10 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `references/automation.md`, `references/resolution-patterns.md` and `references/scripts-tools.md`).

It sits in Development. It works with Git. The repository describes itself as: My personal favorite skills.

When your agent uses it

  • Development work in your project

Example prompts

  • “/git-rebase”

Requirements

  • A Bash shell

Workflow steps

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

  1. Inspect status, current branch, target, and any in-progress rebase. Reuse a known target and current fetch evidence. Preserve dirty work…
  2. Before starting a new rebase, record HEAD and keep a backup ref when rewriting valuable history. bash /scripts/pre-rebase-backup.sh…
  3. Rebase onto the requested target directly by default. Use interactive/squash/reorder operations only when the user requested that history…
  4. When conflicts occur, inspect the replayed commit, base, and both sides. During rebase, ours is the target plus commits already replayed…
  5. Resolve the affected files, inspect their diff, stage only those resolved paths, then continue. Reuse valid observations for repeated…
  6. At the completed rebase, inspect the resulting patch series/diff and run checks for affected behavior plus the project's required delivery…
  7. Publish only when already authorized. Use --force-with-lease for a rewritten remote branch, and follow the project's current-head CI…

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 0422940. 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

    Ships 3 files in scripts/ (Shell), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • 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

Git Rebase loads about 707 tokens when it runs, and up to ~2.1k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 40 tokens; SKILL.md has 353 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
~707
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~2.1k

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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 353 words (~707 tokens).

“Carry out the requested rebase while preserving both sides' intended behavior and unrelated work. A rebase request does not by itself authorize squashing, dropping commits, changing global Git settings, or publishing a rewritten branch.”
