Drives a rebase, merge, cherry-pick or revert through verified completion and leaves unrelated work alone. Useful when an operation stalls on a conflict.

## What it does

The skill owns one history operation and finishes it. It starts by reading `git status` plus the state of `rebase-merge`, `MERGE_HEAD`, `CHERRY_PICK_HEAD` and `REVERT_HEAD` to see what is already running. If an operation is active, it continues that one instead of starting a new one.

Conflicts get handled path by path. Where the intended result is clear from history, callers and tests, the skill edits the files, strips markers and stages only the resolved paths. Where behaviour diverges or stays unclear, it stops and asks. Automatic resolutions and `rerere` count as untrusted proposals.

This is not a general Git runner: it will not pick an integration strategy or do side commit, branch, stash, reset and worktree chores. A new operation needs an explicit method and target, because the skill refuses to guess. A wrong history operation is worse than an interruption — that is the reasoning behind the hard stop.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add LegendApp/legend-skills --skill git-integrate -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/git-integrate/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/git-integrate/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add LegendApp/legend-skills --skill git-integrate -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/git-integrate/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add LegendApp/legend-skills --skill git-integrate -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/git-integrate/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install LegendApp/legend-skills git-integrate
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/git-integrate/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add LegendApp/legend-skills --skill git-integrate -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/LegendApp/legend-skills --path git-integrate
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/git-integrate/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add LegendApp/legend-skills --skill git-integrate -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/LegendApp/legend-skills/tree/HEAD/git-integrate/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- finish a rebase that stopped on a conflict
- resolve a cherry-pick conflict file by file
- continue a merge without losing unrelated edits
- revert a commit with the right mainline parent
- work out which history operation is already in progress

## Example prompts
- Continue the rebase that stopped on a conflict and finish it
- Cherry-pick these commits in order
- Revert the last commit

# Git Integrate

Own a rebase, merge, cherry-pick, or revert through verified completion. When the user requests integration or recovery and one is in progress, continue or repair it. An unrelated task, audit, or question does not authorize resuming history. Otherwise start the operation explicitly requested by the user. This is not a general Git command runner: do not choose an integration strategy or perform unrelated commit, branch, stash, reset, remote, or worktree maintenance.

> **Hard stop:** For new work, proceed when the requested operation and intended history are established by the request, repository policy, or existing configuration. For an in-progress operation, continue it without requiring the user to restate its method or target when Git state makes the operation and next action clear. Resolve a conflict only when its intended result is also clear from repository evidence. Otherwise stop before mutating Git or files and ask the user with concrete options. Never choose a default; an incorrect history operation or resolution is worse than an interruption.

## Workflow

1. **Inspect state.** Run full `git status`, `git status --short --branch`, and `scripts/inspect-operation.sh` when available. Record the current branch and `HEAD`. Resolve `rebase-merge`, `rebase-apply`, `MERGE_HEAD`, `CHERRY_PICK_HEAD`, `REVERT_HEAD`, and the sequencer directory with `git rev-parse --git-path`.

   Active Git state determines the operation to continue; do not start another or ask the user to choose a new method or target. It does not by itself establish the intended combined behavior or prove that `--continue` is the correct immediate action.

2. **Continue an active operation.** Read `git status`, the operation metadata and todo state, the current operation commit, unmerged index stages, staged changes, and working-tree changes. Determine whether the operation is ready to continue or stopped for a conflict, an edit instruction, a failed exec, an empty commit, a pending commit, or another reason.

   Route conflicts through the resolution workflow below. For an edit or failed exec, verify the requested edit or command result before continuing. For an empty commit, require explicit approval before keeping, dropping, or skipping it. If the stop reason or next action is unclear, preserve the exact state and ask; never blindly continue an operation merely because it is active.

3. **Preflight a new operation.** With no active operation, require an explicit method and enough information to determine its exact history effect:

   - Rebase: current or named source branch, upstream, commits to replay, and whether the request requires `--onto`, `--rebase-merges`, `--update-refs`, autosquash, or another non-default form.
```
