Git Revert Safety

What it does

When your agent uses it

• Tasks that involve Git workflow
• Tasks that involve Dependency management
• Tasks that involve Changelog and release notes

Example prompts

• “/git-revert-safety”

Workflow steps

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

1. 1Collateral Damage Assessment
2. 2Choose Recovery Strategy
3. 3Post-Revert Verification
4. 4CI Verification
5. 5Assess Contamination Scope
6. 6Clean-Slate Recovery

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit b63a4bd. 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
  • bun
  • gh
  • node

  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

Git Revert Safety loads about 2.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 102 tokens; SKILL.md has 800 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it

~102

When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches

~2.2k

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

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.

description

Apply when reverting commits, undoing merges, or recovering from branch contamination. Covers collateral damage verification (manifest, package.json, CHANGELOG, lockfiles), cherry-pick vs revert decision matrix, partial-revert detection, merge-parent handling, and post-revert CI verification. Prevents the most common revert failure mode: version metadata regression from git reverse-apply.
