What it does

Git Safety is an agent skill from redis/RedisInsight, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Critical safety guardrails for protected branches: never commit, push, or force-push directly to main, latest, or release branches; no destructive history rewrites without explicit user approval. Use before any git operation that touches protected branches, before force-push, reset --hard, history rewrite, or branch deletion, or whenever the user asks about merging, pushing, or release branches.

Its SKILL.md is about 610 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 and Redis.

When your agent uses it

  • Asks about merging
  • Release branches

Example prompts

  • “/git-safety”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Always create a feature branch before making any changes
  2. Verify current branch before any git operation using git branch --show-current
  3. Create Pull Requests for all changes - let the review process handle merging

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 43bd288. 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

Git Safety loads about 607 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 102 tokens; SKILL.md has 272 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~102
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~607

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 272 words (~607 tokens).

“AI agents must NEVER commit to or push to protected branches under any circumstances.”
