Modern Git workflows, best practices, and commands. Use when the user asks about Git branch management (git switch vs checkout), file restoration (git restore), fixup commits, autosquash rebasing, git worktrees, rerere, force-with-lease, repository cleanup (git clean, stale branches, bloat analysis), history navigation (revision syntax, range notation, pickaxe search), recommended global git config, or GitButler and the but CLI.

Quality

Content

92%Weight 40%Scale 1-5

Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.

The body is an exemplary lean index: a single, clearly signaled reference file (verified to exist with sections matching the table) plus a topic-to-section navigation table, with no padding or redundant explanation. The only weakness is that all executable content lives one level deep, so the body itself offers no inline commands for even the most common questions.

Suggestions

Inline one or two copy-paste commands for the most frequent questions (e.g., `git switch -c <branch>` / `git restore <file>`) so trivial lookups can be answered without loading the 378-line reference.

Mark which navigation-table topics involve destructive or risky operations (e.g., `git clean`, force-push, branch deletion) so the index itself signals where caution is needed before jumping to the section.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

The body is ~20 lines with zero padding: 'Full reference: [./references/git-workflows.md] — read it when answering any question this skill covers' plus a compact topic-to-section table. It explains nothing Claude already knows and every token earns its place, matching the 'lean and efficient; assumes Claude's competence' anchor.

5 / 5

Actionability

The concrete guidance is the explicit directive to read './references/git-workflows.md' and a navigation table mapping topics to exact sections (§1–§10), which is executable routing. It falls short of anchor 5 ('copy-paste ready code or commands; specific examples cover the common cases') because the body contains no inline commands or examples at all — all command-level detail is delegated to the reference, a deliberate but real gap.

4 / 5

Workflow Clarity

This is a single-purpose routing skill under 50 lines; the single action — 'read it when answering any question this skill covers' — is unambiguous, satisfying the simple-skill exception. No destructive or batch operations appear in the body, so the workflow-clarity cap does not apply.

5 / 5

Progressive Disclosure

The body is a clear overview with one well-signaled, one-level-deep reference ('Full reference: [./references/git-workflows.md]'); the referenced file exists and its §1–§10 sections match the navigation table exactly. This matches anchor 5 ('clear overview with well-signaled one-level-deep references; easy navigation').

Description

100%Weight 40%Scale 1-5

Based on the skill's description, can an agent find and select it at the right time? Clear, specific descriptions lead to better discovery.

The description follows the strongest canonical pattern: a concise what-statement followed by an explicit 'Use when...' trigger list whose items are the exact commands, synonyms, and topic phrases a user would naturally say. It is dense with specifics, free of fluff, and cleanly distinguishable from any other skill's territory.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

Beyond the brief domain opener ('Modern Git workflows, best practices, and commands'), the description enumerates many concrete, specific capabilities — 'branch management (git switch vs checkout)', 'file restoration (git restore)', 'fixup commits, autosquash rebasing', 'history navigation (revision syntax, range notation, pickaxe search)' — with comprehensive coverage across ten distinct areas and no notable gaps, matching anchor 5 rather than anchor 4 ('minor gaps in coverage').

5 / 5

Completeness

It explicitly answers both parts: the 'what' ('Modern Git workflows, best practices, and commands' plus the enumerated capabilities) and the 'when' ('Use when the user asks about...' followed by concrete trigger phrases for every covered topic). This directly matches the anchor-5 example pattern.

5 / 5

Trigger Term Quality

The trigger list contains the exact natural phrases users would type within this niche — 'git switch vs checkout', 'stale branches', 'bloat analysis', 'pickaxe search', 'GitButler and the but CLI' — including synonyms and both legacy and modern command names. Coverage is comprehensive for the domain (file extensions are not applicable), matching anchor 5.

5 / 5

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

The skill occupies a clear niche with highly distinctive triggers — 'rerere', 'autosquash rebasing', 'force-with-lease', 'pickaxe', 'GitButler and the but CLI' — that no general-purpose or adjacent skill would claim, giving minimal conflict risk and matching anchor 5.
