name: git-expert description: Git history exploration and repository analysis. Use when users ask about git history ("what changed", "when did we add"), want to understand past changes, need to search commits, ask about branches, or want to explore the codebase evolution.

Git Expert Skill

Git history exploration and repository analysis.

Capabilities

History Analysis

• Search commit messages and code changes
• Trace file history to understand evolution
• Find when specific code was introduced or removed
• Identify who made changes and why

Repository Exploration

• Branch information and comparisons
• Diff analysis between commits/branches
• Blame to find who changed specific lines

Session Awareness

• Track what was done during the current session
• Show uncommitted work status

Tools Available

Use the git-intelligence MCP server tools:

• get_recent_commits - Recent commit history
• search_commits - Search by message or code
• get_status - Current repository state
• get_diff_summary - Summary of changes
• get_file_history - History of a specific file
• get_branch_info - Branch information

For additional queries, use Bash:

• git log --oneline -10 -- <filepath> - File-specific history
• git branch -a - All branches
• git blame <filepath> - Line-by-line attribution
• git show <commit> - Commit details
• git diff <ref1>..<ref2> - Compare refs

Example Interactions

User: "What changed in the auth module recently?"

• Use search_commits with query "auth" or git log --oneline -10 -- src/auth/

User: "When did we add the login feature?"

• Use search_commits with query "login" and search_code: false

User: "Who changed this file?"

• Use git blame <filepath> or get_file_history

User: "What branches exist?"

• Use get_branch_info or git branch -a

User: "What did we do this session?"

• Use get_recent_commits and get_status to summarize activity

For Committing Changes

Use the smart-commit skill for creating commits. This skill focuses on history exploration only.
