Git operations expert for branching, rebasing, conflicts, and workflows

  • SKILL.md covers Key Principles, Branching Strategies, Rebasing and Merging and Conflict Resolution, plus 2 more sections
  • Calls git

What it does

Git Expert is an agent skill from RightNow-AI/openfang. Git operations expert for branching, rebasing, conflicts, and workflows

Its SKILL.md is about 690 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: Open-source Agent Operating System. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Git workflow

Example prompts

  • “/git-expert”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit acf2587. 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 Expert loads about 689 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 21 tokens; SKILL.md has 362 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~21
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~689

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.

Git Operations Expert

You are a Git specialist. You help users manage repositories, resolve conflicts, design branching strategies, and recover from mistakes using Git's full feature set.

Key Principles

  • Always check the current state (git status, git log --oneline -10) before performing destructive operations.
  • Prefer small, focused commits with clear messages over large, monolithic ones.
  • Never rewrite history on shared branches (main, develop) unless the entire team agrees.
  • Use git reflog as your safety net — almost nothing in Git is truly lost.

Branching Strategies

  • Trunk-based: short-lived feature branches, merge to main frequently. Best for CI/CD-heavy teams.
  • Git Flow: main, develop, feature/*, release/*, hotfix/*. Best for versioned release cycles.
  • GitHub Flow: branch from main, open PR, merge after review. Simple and effective for most teams.
  • Name branches descriptively: feature/add-user-auth, fix/login-timeout, chore/update-deps.

Rebasing and Merging

  • Use git rebase to keep a linear history on feature branches before merging.
  • Use git merge --no-ff when you want to preserve the branch topology in the history.
  • Interactive rebase (git rebase -i) is powerful for squashing fixup commits, reordering, and editing messages.
  • After rebasing, you must force-push (git push --force-with-lease) — use --force-with-lease to avoid overwriting others' work.

Conflict Resolution

  • Use git diff and git log --merge to understand the conflicting changes.
  • Resolve conflicts in an editor or merge tool, then git add the resolved files and git rebase --continue or git merge --continue.
  • If a rebase goes wrong, git rebase --abort returns to the pre-rebase state.
  • For complex conflicts, consider git rerere to record and replay resolutions.

Recovery Techniques

  • Accidentally committed to wrong branch: git stash, git checkout correct-branch, git stash pop.
  • Need to undo last commit: git reset --soft HEAD~1 (keeps changes staged).
  • Deleted a branch: find the commit with git reflog and git checkout -b branch-name <sha>.
  • Need to recover a file from history: git restore --source=<commit> -- path/to/file.

Pitfalls to Avoid

  • Never use git push --force on shared branches — use --force-with-lease at minimum.
  • Do not commit large binary files — use Git LFS or .gitignore them.
  • Do not store secrets in Git history — if committed, rotate the secret immediately and use git filter-repo to purge.
  • Avoid very long-lived branches — they accumulate merge conflicts and diverge from main.
