Git Master

This is comprehensive Git coverage from init to filter-repo, with built-in safety guardrails for anything destructive. It proactively activates for all Git operations and always asks upfront whether you want automatic commits, staged changes only, or just guidance. The real value is in the safety protocols: it warns before force pushes or hard resets, suggests backup branches, and explains recovery via reflog. Includes platform-specific workflows for GitHub, Azure DevOps, and Bitbucket, plus cross-platform handling for Windows path quirks and line ending issues. The reference files cover everything from basic workflows to emergency recovery scenarios. Honest take: if you occasionally blow away work with Git commands, the mandatory confirmation prompts alone justify having this loaded.

Git Mastery - Complete Git Expertise

Comprehensive Git skill covering basic to advanced operations, with mandatory safety guardrails for destructive commands and platform-specific workflows.

Critical Guidelines

Windows File Path Requirements

When using Edit or Write tools on Windows, use backslashes (\) in file paths, NOT forward slashes (/):

WRONG: D:/repos/project/file.tsx
CORRECT: D:\repos\project\file.tsx

Applies to: Edit/Write file_path parameters and all file operations.

Documentation Guidelines

NEVER create new documentation files unless explicitly requested by the user. Prefer updating existing README.md files. Keep documentation concise, direct, and professional.

TL;DR Safety First

Before ANY destructive operation:

# ALWAYS check status first
git status
git log --oneline -10

# For risky operations, create a safety branch
git branch backup-$(date +%Y%m%d-%H%M%S)

# Remember: git reflog is your safety net (90 days default)
git reflog

User Preference Check (ALWAYS ASK at start of any Git task):
