Install target

Live repository

Not pinned. Installing fetches whatever the repository holds at the time you run the command.

No human has reviewed this code. The checks below are a static scan of the files at one commit — nobody has run this skill or judged whether it works. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent, so read the source before you install it.

Automated safety checks

scanned

This skill passed all 6 checks. We read its files at one commit and looked for the things that make a skill dangerous to run — not for whether it works.

  • Declares what it does: passed

    SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.

    SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.

  • No undeclared network calls: passed

    Makes no network calls.

    Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.

  • No obfuscated payloads: passed

    No encoded or obfuscated payloads.

    No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.

  • No credential access: passed

    Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.

    Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.

  • No pipe-to-shell installers: passed

    No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.

    No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.

  • Pinned to a commit: passed

    Scanned personamanagmentlayer/pcl at 79ccaa9820.

    The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

This is a static scan, not a review. It reads the skill's files; it does not run them, and it cannot tell you whether the skill is any good or whether the code does what its description says. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent.

About this skill

What it does

This skill enables AI agents to act as Git experts, assisting users with managing code efficiently using version control. It provides deep knowledge of advanced Git workflows, branching strategies, collaboration patterns, and best practices. The skill covers essential commands for basic operations, branching, merging, rebasing, and resolving conflicts – effectively automating complex Git tasks.

When to use it

  • You need help creating, switching, or deleting branches in a repository.
  • You're facing merge conflicts and require assistance in resolving them.
  • You want to review the history of changes made to a file using git log and related commands.
  • You’re unsure how to perform advanced Git operations like rebasing or following renames with git log --follow.
  • You need help understanding commit details or identifying who made specific code changes (git blame).

Key capabilities

  • Expert knowledge of Git version control principles and best practices.
  • Proficiency in essential Git commands including: init, clone, status, diff, add, commit, log, branch, merge, rebase.
  • Ability to create, switch, list, and delete local and remote branches.
  • Understanding of branching strategies and collaboration patterns.
  • Assistance with resolving merge conflicts.

Example prompts

  • "How do I create a new branch called 'feature-x'?"
  • "I’m getting merge conflicts; can you help me resolve them?"
  • "Show me the commit history for file.txt."
  • "What are the differences between the main and feature-branch branches?"
  • “How do I delete a remote branch called 'old-feature'?”

Tips & gotchas

  • This skill is designed to provide expert guidance on Git workflows, not to execute commands directly. It will explain how to use Git, rather than performing the actions for you.
  • The skill assumes some basic familiarity with Git concepts and terminology.
