Git Expert Skill

What This Skill Does

Helps you manage your git workflow with smart command suggestions.

Available Commands

• /git:status - Get the current git status
• /git:switch - Switch branches
• /git:create-branch - Create a new branch
• /git:commit - Make a commit with special instructions
• /git:pull - Pull changes
• /git:push - Push changes
• /git:log - View history/what's been done

When Claude Uses This

When you mention things like:

• "what's the git status?" → Suggests /git:status
• "I need to switch branches" → Suggests /git:switch
• "create a new feature branch" → Suggests /git:create-branch
• "let me commit my changes" → Suggests /git:commit
• "pull the latest changes" → Suggests /git:pull
• "push my commits" → Suggests /git:push
• "show the commit history" → Suggests /git:log

Best Practices

1. Before starting: Run /git:status to see current state
2. Understand scope: Verify which branch you're on
3. Track progress: Review commit history with /git:log
4. Keep updated: Pull changes before pushing

Customization

Edit the trigger phrases in the frontmatter above to match your vocabulary. Keep the skill description updated as you evolve the domain.

Integration

Works seamlessly with other Claude Code domains:

• Can be invoked manually: /git:operation
• Auto-triggered by Claude based on conversation
• Works with other skills and commands

Common Workflows

Start a feature:

/git:status                    # Check current state
/git:create-branch feature/x   # Create new branch

Commit and push:

/git:status                    # Review changes
/git:commit "message"          # Create commit
/git:push origin branch-name   # Push to remote

Update your branch:

/git:pull origin main          # Get latest main
# Resolve conflicts if needed
/git:push origin branch-name   # Push your work

Review history:

/git:log --oneline 10          # Recent commits
/git:log --graph --oneline     # Branch structure
