What does the generated manifest contain?

The manifest provides a JSON structure including absolute file paths, directory locations for diffs, categorization counts, and relevant project rule files like CLAUDE.md.

Does this skill modify my repository?

No, it only reads data from Git and creates a temporary directory for the manifest and diff files, which can be safely removed using the included cleanup tool.

What is the purpose of the --against flag?

The --against flag allows you to specify a target branch (such as origin/main) to compare your current working branch against to identify changes.

Can I specify specific files to include in the collection?

Yes, you can use the --files argument to pass a comma-separated list of explicit file paths to be included alongside the git diff.

How are files categorized by this skill?

Files are automatically grouped into Source, Test, Config, and Docs based on file extensions and naming patterns (e.g., .ts for source, *_test.go for tests).

Automates the gathering and categorization of changed files and git diffs to streamline code reviews and refactoring tasks.

The Git Context & File Collector skill simplifies the process of identifying which files need attention by comparing branches or taking specific file paths. It organizes findings into logical categories like source code, tests, and documentation, then generates a structured JSON manifest. This allows subsequent AI agents or developers to quickly access relevant context without manually hunting through the repository, making it an essential utility for large-scale refactoring, automated code audits, and pull request preparation.
