What git-workflow does

git-workflow inspects the local repository situation and routes the task into one focused path: branch preparation, commit cleanup, syncing with a base branch, conflict handling, push safety, or recovery. It helps choose between merge and rebase, stage selected changes, and prepare a cleaner review diff.

Before risky operations, the skill checks the current branch, worktree, and recent history. Rewritten branches use git push --force-with-lease, while shared history is undone with git revert; recovery can use git reflog and a rescue branch. The skill is intended for a working Git CLI and local repository state, not hosted PR workflows, repository administration, or sprint planning.

What it helps with

prepare a branch for review
split changes into cleaner commits
choose merge or rebase for a branch update
resolve a local Git conflict
recover a commit after reset or rebase

Example prompts for the agent

Inspect my branch and tell me the safest next step before review.
I ran reset --hard by mistake; help me recover the missing commit.
I rebased this branch; prepare a safe push for the rewritten history.
