What it does

Rebase Autosquash is an agent skill from shopsys/shopsys. Rebase the currently checked-out branch onto the latest tip of its base branch and apply its fixup commits (git rebase --autosquash), resolving conflicts semantically along the way. Verifies the result with git range-diff; pushing is left to the user. Use when the branch is stale, carries fixup commits, or conflicts with its base, when the user asks to rebase and apply fixups, or when the user invokes /rebase-autosquash.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.3k 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: Main repository for maintaining Shopsys Platform packages. Open for ISSUES and PULL REQUESTS.

When your agent uses it

  • The branch is stale
  • Carries fixup commits
  • Conflicts with its base
  • The user asks to rebase and apply fixups

Example prompts

  • “/rebase-autosquash”

Workflow steps

6 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Prepare
  2. Rebase with autosquash
  3. Resolve conflicts
  4. Verify
  5. Pushing stays with the user
  6. Report

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit a994ffa. 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

Rebase Autosquash loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 111 tokens; SKILL.md has 682 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~111
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.3k

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 682 words (~1,332 tokens).

“Brings the current branch up to date in one pass: rebases it onto the current tip of its base branch, squashes fixup!/squash!/amend! commits into their targets, and resolves conflicts. The goal is a branch that is identical in content to…”
