What it does

Git Workflow is an agent skill from ruvnet/ruflo. Advanced git workflows with branch management, conflict resolution, and PR lifecycle

Its SKILL.md is about 390 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 Model Context Protocol and GitHub. The repository describes itself as: 🌊 The original agent harness. Deploy intelligent multi-player swarms, coordinate autonomous workflows, and build conversational AI systems. Features adaptive memory…. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

Tasks that involve Git workflow

Example prompts

“/git-workflow”

Requirements

Node.js
Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__analyze_diff, mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__analyze_diff-risk, mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__analyze_diff-stats, mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__github_pr_manage, mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__github_repo_analyze, mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__github_metrics, Bash

Workflow steps

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

Analyze repo — call mcpplugin_ruflo-core_ruflogithub_repo_analyze for repository health metrics
Check diff risk — call mcpplugin_ruflo-core_rufloanalyze_diff-risk before merging
Manage PRs — call mcpplugin_ruflo-core_ruflogithub_pr_manage for PR lifecycle operations
View metrics — call mcpplugin_ruflo-core_ruflogithub_metrics for merge frequency, review times, etc.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit de590e1. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

Tool permissions
Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:
- mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__analyze_diff
- mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__analyze_diff-risk
- mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__analyze_diff-stats
- mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__github_pr_manage
- mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__github_repo_analyze
- mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__github_metrics
- Bash
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
- git
- npx
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use git and npx, 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 Workflow loads about 391 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 24 tokens; SKILL.md has 75 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~24
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~391

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: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

NotePre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: Bash)SKILL.md

allowed-tools: mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__analyze_diff, mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__analyze_diff-risk, mcp__pl

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 Workflow

Advanced git workflow automation for branch management and PR lifecycle.

When to use

When managing complex git operations — multi-branch workflows, release branching, conflict resolution, or PR coordination.

Steps

Analyze repo — call mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__github_repo_analyze for repository health metrics
Check diff risk — call mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__analyze_diff-risk before merging
Manage PRs — call mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__github_pr_manage for PR lifecycle operations
View metrics — call mcp__plugin_ruflo-core_ruflo__github_metrics for merge frequency, review times, etc.

Common workflows

Feature branch

bash

git checkout -b feat/my-feature
# ... make changes ...
# analyze diff before PR
# create PR with risk assessment

Release branch

bash

git checkout -b release/v1.2.0
# cherry-pick fixes
# analyze all diffs for risk
# merge when risk score is acceptable

CLI alternative

bash

npx @claude-flow/cli@latest hooks pre-task --description "git workflow"
