What it does

Stage is an agent skill from tobihagemann/turbo. Stage implementation changes for commit with precise file selection. Use when the user asks to "stage changes", "stage files", "add files to staging", or "prepare changes for commit".

Its SKILL.md is about 300 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. It works with Git. The repository describes itself as: Reusable workflows for planning, building, reviewing, and shipping with Claude Code and Codex. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • The user asks to stage changes
  • Add files to staging
  • Prepare changes for commit

Example prompts

  • “stage changes”
  • “stage files”
  • “add files to staging”
  • “/stage”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Identify Changes
  2. Stage Files
  3. Verify

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 931eda5. 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

Stage loads about 300 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 47 tokens; SKILL.md has 148 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~47
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~300

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.

  • NoteMentions a .env fileSKILL.md:24
    - Never stage files containing secrets (`.env`, credentials, API keys). Warn if detected.

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.

Stage Changes

Stage implementation changes with precise file selection.

Step 1: Identify Changes

Run git status to see all modified, added, and deleted files.

Step 2: Stage Files

Stage only the files relevant to the current task:

bash
git add <file1> <file2> ...
  • Do not use git add -A, git add ., or git add -u — all three sweep in unrelated changes
  • If a file contains both relevant and unrelated changes, write git diff <file> to a patch file, back the unrelated changes out of it (delete their + lines and turn their - lines into context lines), and stage it with git apply --cached --recount <patch>
  • Never stage files containing secrets (.env, credentials, API keys). Warn if detected.

Step 3: Verify

Run git status and git diff --cached to verify the staging area contains exactly the intended changes.

Then call update_plan to mark this step completed and continue with the next step of the active workflow.
