Git Operations FAQs

Question 1

Which git operations should I use this skill for?

Accepted Answer

You should use this skill for all git 'write' operations, including creating or switching branches, staging changes, committing, merging, and pushing to remotes. It can also be used for status checks to maintain a consistent view of the working tree.

Question 2

Why use a sub-agent for Git instead of direct bash commands?

Accepted Answer

Using a sub-agent prevents human or AI error in complex workflows. It guarantees that commit messages are formatted correctly, MCP server deployment rules are followed, and git operations are validated before execution, providing a safety layer for your codebase.

Question 3

What does the Git Operations skill do?

Accepted Answer

This skill enforces a workflow where all git operations are delegated to a specialized 'git-expert' sub-agent. This ensures that every action—from branching to committing—adheres to project-specific standards, deployment compliance, and tracking requirements.

Question 4

How does this skill integrate with Linear issue tracking?

Accepted Answer

The Git Operations skill is pre-configured with project-specific Team IDs. When the sub-agent handles a task, it ensures that branch names and commit messages are linked to your Linear workspace, maintaining a clear audit trail between code and tasks.

Question 5

Can I still run git commands manually?

Accepted Answer

While read-only commands like 'git log' or 'git diff' can be performed directly, it is highly recommended to use the git-expert sub-agent for everything else to ensure your project remains compliant with MCP deployment standards and tracking protocols.
