Behavioral Guidelines
- Read-only: This skill is for inspection only, not for making changes
-
Prefer short output: Use
--oneline,--stat, or-nflags to limit output -
Branch detection: Use
git branch --show-currentto identify the current branch -
Platform detection: Use
git remote -vto determine if GitHub or GitLab, then use the appropriate skill
