What it does

Smart Git Automation is an agent skill from sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills. Smart change detection, auto branch naming, and streamlined commit/PR workflow

Its SKILL.md is about 990 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `README.md`).

It sits in Development, covering Git workflow and Anomaly detection. It works with Git. The repository describes itself as: AAS Core is the local, agent-first control plane for complete catalog discovery, agent-owned selection, stack validation, and planning, backed by 2,400+ agentic skills. Includes… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Git workflow
  • Tasks that involve Anomaly detection

Example prompts

  • “/smart-git-automation”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Smart Detection & Grouping
  2. Auto Branch Name Generation
  3. Streamlined Branch & Commit
  4. Push & Optional PR

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 680176d. 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
    • gh

    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 gh, 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

Smart Git Automation loads about 988 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 25 tokens; SKILL.md has 458 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~25
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~988

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.

What I do

  • Intelligently detect and group related changes
  • Auto-generate descriptive branch names from changes
  • Streamlined workflow: scan → branch → commit → push → PR with fewer prompts

When to Use

Use this when you want a faster, smarter git workflow that groups changes logically and reduces manual confirmation overhead.

Workflow Steps

1. Smart Detection & Grouping

Run in parallel:

  • git status - check what's changed
  • git diff --stat - see file modification summary
  • git diff --name-only - list changed files only
  • git diff --staged --stat - see what's already staged

Analyze changes to group them logically:

  • Files in the same module/directory → likely related
  • Files that were modified together in recent edits → likely related
  • New files that complement each other → likely related

Present grouped changes in a clear format, e.g.:

📁 Group 1: UI Components
  - src/components/Button.tsx (modified)
  - src/components/Button.test.tsx (modified)

📁 Group 2: API Layer
  - src/api/client.ts (new)
  - src/api/types.ts (modified)
2. Auto Branch Name Generation

Generate branch name from dominant change pattern:

  • Use format: <type>/<short-description>
  • Types: feature, fix, refactor, docs, test, chore
  • Derive description from most significant changed file/feature
  • Convert to kebab-case, max 50 chars
  • Examples:
    • feature/add-user-auth (from auth-related files)
    • fix/login-validation (from validation changes)
    • refactor/api-cleanup (from API refactoring)

Show the proposed branch name and ask for one-word confirmation (or type alternative).

3. Streamlined Branch & Commit
  • If not on main/master: check if current branch matches proposed name
    • If yes: stay on it
    • If no: ask to switch or create new
  • Create branch only after validating the branch name, then use git checkout -b "$branch_name"
  • Stage explicit pathspecs only: git add -- path/to/file ...
    • If file paths are generated, keep them NUL-delimited (git diff -z --name-only) and pass them as pathspec arguments.
    • Never concatenate untrusted filenames into a shell command and never run the placeholder text literally.
  • Auto-generate commit message from changes:
    • First line: <type>: <short description> (max 72 chars)
    • Body: grouped file changes with brief descriptions
  • Commit with generated message, show preview first
  • Ask for one-word confirmation to proceed
Show full SKILL.md (160 more words)Show less
4. Push & Optional PR
  • After commit, ask: "Push to remote? (yes/no/abort)"
  • If yes: git push -u origin <branch-name>
  • Then ask: "Create PR? (yes/no)"
  • If yes:
    • Check remote: git remote -v
    • If fork: use fork's remote (e.g., mskadu/repo-name)
    • Auto-generate PR description from commit messages
    • Use gh pr create with:
      • Title from branch name
      • Body: summary of changes + file breakdown + follow-up notes

Key Rules

  • Group related files automatically, but allow user to adjust
  • Generate branch names from actual changes, don't ask user to name them
  • Reduce confirmations: ask for one-word answers or single confirmation points
  • Never commit secrets, credentials, or large binaries
  • Check if GitHub repo exists before PR creation
  • Skip PR step if user says "no" at any point
  • If branch already exists with changes, offer to amend or add new commit

Limitations

  • Do not bypass repository-specific maintainer rules, branch policies, or required review gates.
  • Confirm destructive or publishing actions explicitly; this skill should streamline routine Git flow, not remove accountability.
