name: Git Version Control description: Provides Git version control operations for managing code repositories. Allows agents to check repository status, view commit history, and perform basic Git operations.

Context Keywords

• git
• version control
• repository
• commit
• source control
• vcs

Tools

• example-git-skill_git_status - Get the current Git status (HTTP endpoint)
• example-git-skill_git_log - View commit history (HTTP endpoint)
• check_git_status - Check Git status (direct tool call)

Instructions

Use this skill when you need to:

1. Check the current state of a Git repository
2. View recent commit history
3. Understand what files have been modified, added, or deleted
4. Get information about the current branch

Prerequisites:

• The working directory must be within a Git repository
• Git must be installed on the system

Best Practices:

• Always check the status before making changes
• Use descriptive commit messages
• Review changes before committing

Examples

Example 1: Check Repository Status

Copy# Using the tool decorator
status = check_git_status()
print(f"Current status: {status}")

Example 2: View Recent Commits

Copy# Using the HTTP endpoint
response = await git_log(limit=10)
if response["status"] == "success":
    print(f"Recent commits:\n{response['output']}")

Example 3: Combined Workflow

When asked "What changes are in the repository?":

1. First, call check_git_status() to see modified files
2. Then, call git_log(limit=5) to see recent commits
3. Provide a summary of both results to the user

Example 4: Error Handling

Always check the response status and handle errors gracefully:

Copyresult = await git_status()
if result["status"] == "error":
    print(f"Git operation failed: {result['message']}")
else:
    print(f"Status: {result['output']}")
